Our Man in Antigua

or in Antigua, the totally dead night…no action anywhere..wait…Da Vinci! go figure….12 people, the delicious Claudia and Lex Cargo, huddled over a table by the bar..i didn’t know they knew each other…’hope he doesn’t mention any of my past indescretions…the Rio Suerte.com company truck parked on upper 5ta…por que? Red’s dead, Cashbar empty, Studio 35 closed, Sangre closed…Hector’s closed…Murray of Texas, seen 2X tonight…ok, let’s jump shift to bbq…Angie Angie is now doing a Sunday Texas-style BBQ…and it’s nothing like Murray’s description of what he considers to be ‘texas style bbq’….fine…definitions…Lisa-Marie and the very fine Alison at Ocelot..per L-M, the Salty Beaver’s new overnight rooms will be ready in the ‘first part of March’…eddy of Pangea checking in to work now, play later(as usual)…O’lot’s new windows on the street side, since it’s cold at night…where’s Wendy f…….g Wever? said she was managing Cashbar…did she mean working as a manager or just putting up with it?…here’s a rumor…John W bringing some kind of girl troup from Honduras…why or what..where? making pancakes at el Cofre?  John Heaton’s infamous shot of the shouting and pissing across from his Quinta Maconda went around the world, stirring up a few people…seen here first last week or so…typical night action on 5ta..

is it better to be pissed off or pissed on?

They were to have left early today, for the Yucatan, to meet his S.O’s parents…significant other…they’re a very interesting couple…I like ’em both…alas, some ‘shoot out in the City and then the screw-up at the airport…a big ‘No-Go’…the Whiskey Den has a half price deal on coffee during the day…no, even the night…ask for or present their business card and on the back..50% off…coffee drinks, not the hard liquor…you wish..a nagging question…can anyone explain the fascination with Hollister? seen from here to Nicaragua on t-shirts, any surface…i know the town…northern california, scene of the infamous take-over by the original Hell’s Angels in 1949 and later the setting for the Wild Ones..Marlon Brando, Lee Marvin..I don’t get the connection or the link…typical, you say…

one thing I do know

sensitive subject to some…the “Pub Quiz’…’heard from some that it’s a Reilly’s thing….but…people vote with their feet and hearts…and may the best quiz master win…Rico back at Ixcot…El Caminante lost a good one but the deal didn’t work out…its the restaurant biz..how often does Hector ‘go’ thru employees? monthly, bi-monthly? where the hell are the Gallo Girls?

Spring Break or training?

For those who care, these are Brahva Girls…tastier than Gallo, no?
