Our Man in Antigua

‘went by Peter the G’s El Caminante earlier and remarked that the new bartender was fabulous..the face, the bod, the cha cha’s…Iris Andrade, with a birthday party coming up on the 30th…silly me..

doppleganger

and no, doppleganger isn’t the german word for gang bang…Iris and Lucy Luscious are one and the same…do i need new glasses or what? both of ’em are equally tasty…hell,even one of ’em is just fine…oops..El Muro? whew…great taste in employees, Max

oh, what a twisted night…the very tasty Flor Moran and Luis Miguel, tete a tete at Da Vinci…der Henrik standing door duty at dos Reilly’s…packed…’have a hunch that next year it’gonna be dos Reilly’s and Mono Loco nailing that part of town….altho, and this is subject to confirmation…tis said that the ex La Esquina site is gonna be taken over and changed to a Pizza Hut location…and that the old Castillo stationery store on the corner of 6th ave/5th calle will morph into a Las Cebollinas franchise..who knows? maybe it’s time for the deep pocket corporate folks to swoop in and pick up choice locations in town..

hasta la vista, baby

Camilla, the exceedingly tasty Swedish pastry who has blessed Antigua for a few years…leaving for Sweden Sunday..damn…another great one gets away..

Alex Bell of Fusion 2…leaving with family soon for two weeks in Ft Lauderdale…culture shock!  it’s been 4 years since he’s been in the States…other plans for other ventures…stay tuned…Alex’ Sobremesa, Tartines and  Bistro Cinq doing a bit of biz tonight…dos Reilly’s kicking butt, crowd-wise..Iris and Lucy are the same?….damn me…thanks, JEH, for forwarding the US Embassy version of the night of the knives on August  18th…just a detailed time line..no twists or assertions as to motive..nope, no one has been caught or arrested…surprise! welcome to Guatemala… 

Gaia! rockin’ to the belly dancers…folks in the street…Studio 35, re-opened and dead…Sangre…open and dead..heard that the ex mayor of Bongotenango bought it…likewise told that the mayors thru out Gautemala are the contact points for narco $$$, which might explain all the  (30+) assaults on candidates for this years elections…$$$…hello… hey…this is just unsubstantiated drivel/horse shit…Ron fortin at Ocelot, wailin’ sax music..most excellent..weirdly quiet for a usually noisy Friday night…is this the ‘new economy?’ hasta la vista, Camilla…you’re missed already…too sweet…thanks for being part of Antigua and my life..your martinis were superb..
