Our Man in Antigua

and a tip of the panama to Frank for suggesting this exceedingly weird idea…’went by Angie Angies to say ‘hi’ for her birthday celebration…lotta folks there…Wendy W et al..even Gianni who did the finishing touches on the sword cane..Frank’s looking for a hyena to walk around town with…on a serious chain, collar, of course…do some damage to some of the dogs in town, burnish his image as an all ’round serious dude with mojo…no need to talk about the idea vis a vis the wormwood…

that part of town rockin’..except for Nokiate…Cafe No Se jammed, El Caminante doing their excellent theatre…and with the new bar downstairs, capturing the rain-deterred…El Muro? equally packed…El Escape? closed..say no more except hasta la vista, baby…Le Posado del Pintor, the Circus Bar thing? working…F2..Alex B at the door, 15 hours of work today…later seen at Ocelot..’must be nice to be young again…dos Reilly’s? ‘saw the new bar…and it works..a smaller version against the left wall…Henrik doin’ just fine..place packed, rockin”’…cranking up the old Reilly’s vibes…sounded/looked great..’ran into the semi-pro who had my #1 phone number…bought her and friend Lava burgers and then bailed..she’d misread my business card and thought that I was a travel agent(travel writer, babe)and was looking for a ticket to Brazil…not on my dime, sweetheart…known to all at Ocelot..ran into Tom C,wife, Blanca and Enrique, doing Ixcot…yep..new landlord/lady…Pangea doing tables…where the hell is Edy and his dad? sucking their wounds bout the ‘lounge’ concept? Marcel and crew at Caz Italiano doing a great night(as always)..Shaun of O/lot mentioned some scandal on FB last night but with no particulars…from my sources, impeccable as always, it involved goats, satanic rituals and lots of chocolate syrup..no word on alien abductions involving certain implants but that’s always a ‘given’..Frank…with a hyena on a leash..visualize this…the rains have started, the cobblestones are glistening…Big Paul, Wendy’s dad/mom at Hectors before going on to Cashbar…where the hell is Hector? off again,with yet another babe?…it’s probably about time…animal…I envy his perspicacity…look it up..i’m looking for a new fez and a stuffed parrot(a la Fawlty Towers)…complete the Sidney Greenstreet act..and i totally love  this town: the best of the best…coming soon, to a street near you…
