where to start? the hardest working woman in town, MDC of Salon Creativo (2nd calle oriente) starting construction on her new house…already working 6 days a week…now signed up for more work…Angie Angies tomorrow and Saturday, thence Gaia (cashier) Friday/Saturday nights (til 3am)..whew…for the best foot massage(with a pedicure)…that’s where and i swear by her…if i were ten or 20 years younger, i’d be chasing her..hell, I might anyway…she is one of my favorite people.
Pangea? lights back on,Neil at the helm…and the bugger at Ixnay, body-checking/trying to corral any and all walk-ins? access blocked to P’gea, visually and otherwise..Neils’ got the responsibility without authority, a deadly combination: he’ll land on his feet,whatever happens but there’s a time limit imposed to turning it around…no more of this lounge stuff, eh?
Alex Bell and wife at ocelot…’reporting outrageous numbers for the new Fusion…plus doing a shrimp biz on the side…got the little buggers upstairs in tanks, growing at an accelerated pace while being bombarded with music of Enya and Kenny G…go figure..also at O’lot…Guitar Mike aka Piano Mike, solo tonight,doing old R&R standards on guitar…Moriahs’ in El Salvador and Caffe Bourbon,despite their wine promotion…totally empty-o…hint..bring back PM and Moriah…the only joint on 5tha avenida not doing tables..the only…even folks at Taco uncontento and Polio Compero.. and Loss Arcos..with a dread-locked gringo flamenco guitarist tonight..
‘walked by Cafe Flor..packed and Victoria! belting out ‘besame mucho’…welcome back and the best of luck in the new incarnation…nope…a reincarnation is when you come back as a flower…go by, eat and enjoy their music..i will…that scoundrel ol pal of mine, ignacio, in the back..dark glasses at 8pm..and no good words for JP…let him rot, where ever he is…note to Claudia #1…drop the rent on the old Rum Bar..that number is from the good ol days…it’s a different world and $2000 a month ain’t it now..half, maybe? Seriously…the old bar is the size of my new kitchen, the place has been mildly trashed and the location sucks..drop the rent to 400oq or less, let the new idiot try to build up a biz/take a slice of the profits if/when…some $$ is better than no $$(in my world)…obviously didn’t make it to El Muro’s Thursday night ‘free booze til 11pm’ thing..it’s working, oddly enough..trap the crowd, get ’em hammered and then start charging $$ at 11…duh…
‘walked by Alex’ ice cream outlet…complaining in a nice way that he’s been selling out of all of his food at Sobremesa recently..nightly..nice problem to have..’tried his latest ice cream recipe of tequila/pomegranit..pomegrenite..pomegranete? yep, plunked down the 20q rather than just a spoonful…where the hell does he find time for all this stuff? he, Alex, Shaun…hardworking and dedicated…throw in Neil and Marcel also..dos Reilly’s doing a nice crowd…Chez Chris a few tables…DV dead..what’s up with the Cargo Room? haven’t seen any promotions, notes or anything…is Lex’ fading? location, location,location…
