Orphan Annies’ occasional lament…Daddy Warbucks? how clairvoyant…Punjab? los mismo…whew, a busy night in A Town…folks strollin’, dinin’ and just walking around. Passed JH/Cath Doc, on their way out for dindin..the elder Figueroa of P’gea sighted in the restaurant and then later strolling down the calle with a tasty piece of pastry.
the new Sobremesa? a soft opening tomorrow…evening time, 2 days ahead of schedule and it looks perfect! in what was Astrid the Abogado’s office is now a perfect place for his art…no more florescent lighting fixtures (that i hated from Day One)…perfect size, great interior..indirect spots here and there…no more crowded space, bigger kitchen, cha cha..next to YogenFruz..two days..no, doors, dammit.. away from CitiBank.
El Muro reporting another overflow crowd last night..200 tickets? of/for what? whatever, it’s workin’, which is more than you can say for a lotta places..beginning to wonder about another place that’s been putting on ‘shows’…no shows for the last two weeks…vacation? wasn’t working? ran out of ambition? tis always a hard choice to keep on keepin’ on or when to pull the plug…how many times can you flog the dead horse? (until you’re whipped)
re yesterday’s call for help for a lady that we all know…one person has stepped up..no, two…not enough to get the truck rollin’ again…the truck that everyone borrows and never fills up. Here’s my plan: I have an artifact that I’ve had for 40 years, a birthday present on my 37th…18k solid gold roach holder and with gold at $1600 an oz…well…100q a raffle ticket, no more than ten tickets to be sold, enough to get the truck/and her outa this jam…step up..
‘made by a jeweler friend of mine in Carmel…a one of a kind and whatever resins are still inside are yours..this isn’t about charity: this is simply a gesture of helping someone who needs some kindness…hell, buy all ten…shave the odds.
