Our Man in Antigua

when was this? where the hell was I? supposedly splashing in the pool at Panza Verde last night, as part of the “Performance Art”…there such a crowd, up/down and sideways that i finally reached my ‘failsafe’ limit, aided or abetted by the heavy handed bartenders, greased by good tips..

has there been such a delightful day here? the weather, temperature, the evening…lyrical and for all the reasons that made me move here..the crowds from City, the tourists with their guidebooks, backpacks and cameras…the ever so tasty Capitalinas prancing…’ran into Maggie M early…surprised that she wasn’t at PV last night…we both were…bleary…definitely a Bloody Mary Morning.

noticed the absence of some last night, whom one woulda thought…etc..and the presence of others whom one woulda….so? so what? tomorrow is Halloween…should be amusing..even Gaia has a skeleton(cheap one)on their door…Ocelots new happy hour special is making a hit with some..(me)plus..Shaun turned down an offer to expand(smart)Pangea would probably have leaped at it…no news on the Caffe Bourbon ‘situation’…or John Wilbur…I miss his inspired, perhaps substance fueled antics.

Nick Z becoming a fixture in town…good…Yann’s marrying his sister,btw..Nick’s sister…let’s be clear here(for a change)..Peter the H working a cafe down on 2nd ave/9th calle, starting tomorrow…be early for his always great breakfasts..I’ll never forget the opening day of the Beav’s new units…Peter’s on one foot, hopping, serving, cooking…doin’ it all…good thing that Erez the Israeli surfer was there, then…ask Peter about the status of the ‘Beav…he may tell/share or may not, depending..my lips are zipped…Neil C says he’s coming back after the holidays or I think that’s what he said..I’m deaf in one ear and can’t hear out of the other..eh? the very tasty Marvel workin’ at Tabacos y Vinos with a full house…no, crowd…dressed in white, bare midriff…no Mime today…guess last night at PV mighta worn him out a bit..and good to see Sobremesa and their ice cream joint doin’ biz…
