on parts of Nicaragua I haven’t seen for next months oddyssey…’boning up? kind of wierd phrase, eh? seem to have scored a private tour of the Flor de Cana distillery near Leon, something i’ve long longed for…’long longed? and a minor correction re the bbq etiquette…it’s butcher paper, not waxed and forks are not part of the equation…hack and dip the chunks in various sauces..doens’t sound very ‘San Francisco’ to me but then…these are Texans and its a texas-thing…maybe they don’t have any forks.
Ignacio, Aniet and the violinist on speeed…cranked out ‘Strangers in the Night’ for the opening number…perfect, because there were some strangers…no body on the keyboard…was it pianist envy?
a few folks getting hammered, earlier than usual….it was ‘drunk’ out tonight and i sought shelter…el muro doing biz, every restaurant on 4th calle(except for B-5), sobremesa packed..the very delightful Ms emma, dressed in a black/slinky/low cut gown,looking very tasty…no, tasteful…ah, whatever…she looked most xlnt..anyone want to take a side bet on a certain chef? I’m betting that he bails within 30 days…he wants to cook and do his stuff..and where he’s at…isn”t giving him that opportunity(and the other place is a better shot)Ixcot? watched several groups walk up, read the menu and go inside…and then walk out..por que? atmosphere or lack of it…Pangea the scene of the Cernikovsky family dinner..so…I seek shelter from the very packed streets/sidewalks…pizza to go from DaVinci..and ask Luis Miguel, whom I thought would have an answer…’why are all the people in town tonight?’..”I don’t know’….WTF? a long time Antigueno and HE can’t answer the question? ‘never seen so much traffic/people on a Saturday night…music here and there, bands…majorettes in fetching short skirts…sexy but wholesome sexy…right…on 6th ave, a superbly restored Triumph TR-4…made me drool..’had a TR-4 in the 70’s…howthe hell do they find parts/a mechanic? I had hell then…upper 5th, minus Reillys? Death Valley..coming up next Friday, the 10th? benefit for a great NGO…Ocelot, 7pm, Nelson/Ron playing together for the first time…1/3 goes to the NGO..walked by Hector’s and could not get in the door(even if i wanted to, cuz i had a pizza in my hand)SRO!…he told me not to get into trouble…(too late)but hey…a great name for a bar! Trouble!…i’m trying to stay out or i couldn’t get in…or hey..i’m in trouble..again…big surprise, eh?
didn’t see the Mime today, so that index is on hold..but…i’m thinking about a standby…The Butt Count…’used to be, in the mornings outside a few establishments on 5th that there’d be substantial accumulations of mashed cigarettes…damn few to be seen in the mornings any more…no more multi-colored blown chunks on the sidewalks, either..minor rumblings of discontent heard from more than one restaurant(its the money, honey) o, and the Whiskey Bar? two weeks ago i’m told they’ll be open in two weeks, kinda like the ammo i was supposed to get on Tuesday…two tuesdays ago but that’s fine…i’ll tie a string to the piece and throw it…that way i can retrieve it and throw it again, maybe shout ‘bang bang’…’getting bored with Antigua, so i s’pose a field trip next week is in order…a trip to the city will change that quickly..’later for anything worth writing about…
