Our Man in Antigua

the sounds of the rockets/mortars resounded up and down 5ta norte tonite…Cashbar celebrating something…Wendy said something about an anniversary, Matteo was smiling and Eric…hey, the bar was open, at least for one drink…XL babes at the door, the disco was pounding…

 a stroll…Ocelot, with Nelson in the patio, doin’ what he does best(music-wise)…shawn, curtis, emma the delicious and michael…tis been said that i xcot has enticed pangea’s chef to shift to their kitchen…salary, benefits..who knows? much like Peter the G enticed Chef Rico to jump ship and work at El Caminate…another cold cold night…the railway museum in the City?

even Hector(whose place was jammed,as usual) and Luis Miguel of Da Vinci…haven’t seen it…worth a stop, if only to see what Guatemala was, a hundred years ago…slow progress on getting accredited to go play with the Green Berets up north, but then the wheels turn slowly…a nice compliment from a travel editor/publisher today…inspired by my El Salvador article to go take a look…gave double-cane Bruce a copy of the business cards of the two enterprising young things who advertise themselves as ‘massage, party, sex’…don’t bite off more than you can chew, is my advice..and no, i haven’t ‘been there’..’mildly disappointed in a certain coffee finca..guys…I left $$ and instructions to drop coffee and bring samples for Alex of Sobremesa…did they do this?  noooo…this isn’t the way to create business…tomorrow night, whatever it is that happens at Sangre? gotta be better than the existing lack of business…tables and chairs lined up…Reilly’s Two reporting big progress, Steve Wintershaw and Henrik seen in the street this morning..the Chili Project? a can of this, a can of that, mixed with another can of mexican jumping beans, an onion and left over bbq steak scraps? call me a magician…tequila fueled and inspired, it worked..maybe tomorrow, Carla B will return to Ocelot, minus a few teeth but ready to crack the whip…hmmm..nice visual..

c'mon down...I'm medicated

Christmas? people ask me what i’m doing for Christmas…’don’t have a clue, but that’s typical….as with me, Santa only comes once a year and that’s down a chimney..and a certain establishment locked up for the night recently, leaving a lady said to be passed out in the bathroom..no word if she was trying to drive the porcelain bus.
