nope, not referring to working girls…just the obvious upsurge in Christmas oriented stuff going on the in the burg we call home..the lights, decorations, and….no, it’s all good unless you live near lost Arcos tonight….a big wooden stage, satellite uplink dishes and a so so Peruvian band…Paco and his band are better and the newly revised duo in the park are better…Ricardo of T&V was mildly pissed about blocking off traffic to his cave…and rightfully so…I suggested that he post the very tasty Marvel at the door, as a lure…nope, not even her tasty assets worked..well, they work on me but you know how easily I’m suede…no..swayed…
