heard on 4th avenida tonight…as in sucking all the nightlife, bar and restaurant biz from all over town and up on the Lava patio…wall to wall people and a horde of beautiful women in one place…from whence they came, who knows but…it was a visual buffet…the food? perfect french fries, excellent buns (the burger, not the babes)and superb meat(see previous comment)..Pangea took some of the overflow dining crowd…the lounge? zero..Whiskey/O-lot provided extra space…ixnay? poor bastards….
a new traveling duo of a saxophonist/guitarist serenading the small group at Caffe Bourbon…5th ave dead zone..john and max of el muro reporting overflow crowds for the thursday night ‘all you can swill for free’…didnt’ realize that the cut-off time for free drinks was 11pm..gotta big crowd gathered, the music’s playin’…are they gonna leave? nope..they’re buying rounds…some grumbling heard from a couple of bar owners re the thursday events..so what? come up with a similar or better concept and kwit bitchin”..see that Adolfo our alcalde is running for re-election..note the new spate(a lot)of little orange flags on cars..if i were a gringo business owner, i’d be contributing to his kitty…war chest…campaign funds..insurance money..
Piano Mike/Moriah played O’Lot…their CD is done/recorded and the sleeves come out next week…(packaging) bring $$ next time you see/hear them, for a set of original songs..thanks, Mario, for sharing a french fry with me..Alex B, back from the beach, came back twice to the bash..Mateo of Cashbar, whom I haven’t seen since last year..there with WW..personally, this is/was the largest event I’ve been to..huge crowd…yeah, the first 200 burgers were free and the bar was open…but…i’m a thinkin’ this is a 24k winner…you seldom see me eating around town but i have a hunch that policy will change…
I used to keep a picture of the XJS 12 cylinder Jag on my refrigerator..to remind me not to do stupid things…this photo has replaced that one…’same philosophy..’ran into one of the ‘city girls’ earlier..Hi!..let’s get together…a no show…fine..and the phone hasn’t rung…fine..damn…perfect french fries..and everything else..amazing…if anything i’ve learned about living here, it’s to have diminished expectations…tonight was an exception..and thanks to the guy who read Bandits without Borders…compliments in person I seldom get..i appreciated it..
