welcome back….Robto de Oro, lately of Chicago…and Barb, Ed…waiting at the evercrowded Hector’s for a table…Ed bailed…i stayed…the exceedingly luscious Corinna, a bit more blonde and a bit more tasty…if I didn’t have an iron rule about dating women younger than my oldest daughter(34)…i’d be tempted…hell,yes..I was tempted..changes abound in the nightlife…Ignacio and his Cuban quartet? now a Cuban duo..he and the pianist,singing in the corner of Pangea…different sound but good…the demands made weren’t the equivalent of the customer draw, so…a cut was made…upper 5ta? slow, quiet and dead,…folks reading the closure sign on the old Reillys’…don’t think they made the transition. Cashbar and Reilly’s were two sides of a different coin, that spun off cross-trade…Cashbar upscale, Reilly’s a faded old tart with torn nylons…but it worked…now? a ghost town…new Mormons in town, getting their tacky black shoes shined, buzz cuts, uniforms…reminds me of Nazi’s/Fascists..o yeah…you’re a descendant of one of the lost tribes of Israel…good luck selling that line..you’re a latino? that means that you have jewish DNA…right…why do the gringas carry water bottles at ten pm?
the Inca Restaurant on lower 4th avenida? do they do any business? do they serve the national treat, guinea pig/hamsters? if so, where do they find them here? hmmm…the cat population seems to be getting smaller…if you ever find yourself in Viet Nam..read the menu closely…what is advertised as ‘little tiger’ is actually feline in nature but…a cat, none the less…a new business on 5ta norte, next to pollo compero…guate-linda, a spanish school, moved from outer 7ta avenida and run by the nicest, sweetest guy in town, Ed Vega…nope, didnt’ do the last show by the guy from the lake at Dos Reilly’s…Kevin Warner…loud, not that great(in my opinion)but perfect for that venue, where beer rules and volume is everything….
no, i didn’t go by the usual place for another look at her…vary the routine…’wouldn’t want her to think that she had me by the nose, eh? where the hell is M? the texan dude who proclaims that texas bbq is the highest form of cuisine? wax paper and butcher knives…
Thor is Mary’s son? fuck me…thats the most outrageous thing i’ve heard in years…thank you, roberto de oro..
