early edition on Fried day…Fusion’s old place, next to Hector’s…tenants, of which two are at computer workstations in what was last the bar…posters seen on the walls earlier…another Spanish school? per Hector, it’s gonna be another restaurant…can you say ‘sinkhole’?
canada's finest exports
Hector…serving up lamb chops..’frenched lamb chops’…altho to my mind, what’s left of it…’frenched’ brings up several other interpretations…’didn’t stop Scott S and wife from ordering it…i went next door, to Red’s expecting the Gallo Girls…wrong…got the clowns…
a minor mistake
Sangre! semi busy with a dozen or so people inside…disco lights, music…most people seen in Sangre in a year..thank you Duane/John R…’thinking of starting up a sail fish operation on Puerto Q or Puerto San jose…Duane tells me that sailfish will bite and get snarled up on a plain blue piece of rope, dangled from the stern of a boat…not very sporting, but efficient which may explain why they’re an endangered species….the Cargo Room!…packed…some very tasty women from the City..Lex on deck, with his Mom…she’s a firecracker…Ocelot! Ron on sax, gone for a while and Nelson at nine, pounding out great new orleans jazz…O’lot now serving up hamburgers from the original recipe of the guy who was serving them in El Tanque Verde(and who was busted for same)nope..haven’t tried ’em…La Pena Del Sol has the burger franchise so far…Pena del Sol…the band’s in matching red shirts now…the crepe place, next to Ocelot and Pangea…scheduled for a soft opening monday night…name of the joint is Ixcot..Whiskey Bar/non profit coffee shop still under ‘development’…ie, short of money…the notes get sketchy here…i know, typical…hey, i’m non-profit also..the ‘cuban violinist’…saturday night, with Ignacio…Sunday, 6pm, Angies new place at 11a, primera avenida sur…art and who knows what? fine…i’ll be there…
Culinaria, on 6ta norte….looking like it’s gonna be closing time soon….as soon as the stock on the shelves run out…they’re filling in empty spaces and not replacing stuff…not a good sign for those of us who rely on them for the occasional goody or unfindable jar of this or that…
Closed…most definitely…the Zen bar on 7th ave n….i guess the indian food, movies and such didn’t go over well…or well enough: it was a tough location, afterall…6pm tonight…the Bavarian joint on 7th norte…Oktoberfest with deGustaAntigua….Red’s at 8pm….the Gallo Girls! the Cargo Room at 9pm….fancy City girls come to town…to slum or not to slum?…never did hear about the cuban violinist in town, s’posed to play with Ignacio and his All-Stars..what this town needs is something like the Bat Signal, as Matteo of Cashbar used one night(i told him to get a permanent one but for $3000?) I’ll try to have film at eleven and a better handle of the aforesaid…but as Bob Dylan once said, the vandals stole the handle…I’m goin’ to my room for awhile…hasta la pasta
