I bought a fifth…no…actually a liter since we’re in metric land..I could plead the Fifth but I’m not sworn in (yet)…the town? rockin’ with people, shoppers, sippers and thing’s are looking good for a lot of merchants…well, some…Iris Andrade aka Lucy Luscious doing just fine on the day shift at O’lot..it’s far cry/long way from opening beers at el muerto Caminante..yeah, that mess…he said, they said, cha cha cha..chisme, ya know?
The Antigua Venetian Ball, now in it’s 3rd year? Lynn B has given up the reins and Mona Rose is in charge: nope, don’t know Mona but I know that the delectible Ms A is doing stuff, design wise..i’ve still got the long black velvet cape…gave the mantle to Lori S and the mask to Hector..let’s see…how about a brown paper bag with holes cut out for the eyes? cheap and quick….hmm..expect the ‘Ball’ to happen in February….where? they’ve been downsizing the venue every since the first one..San Jose El Viejo last year…dunno..guess i gotta ask..
is it my imagination or has the music scene in this town taken a dive? Nelson’s back and he’s gotta strong schedule…there’s a few others, who just a few months ago, were weekly events..yeah, the times($$)have been and are still tight..even the mariachi’s have left..we need Willie and Lobo, old time Puerto Vallarta duo that went on to fame and fortune…hmm, the light bulb just glimmered…and thanks to John M for offering to schlepp in a box of books in Jan/Feb…smuggled copies of Our Man in Antigua…hot in more ways than one and yes, Virgin..no, Virginia…you order this atrocity and beat the Christmas rush…go to
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/114724 and it can be sent as an email attachment as a last minute gift..alas, the printed version will have to double in price…printing, shipping, cha cha..outa my hands, lo siento..blame it on Amazon..for a total visual rush, go by Da Vinci’s and see their tree…staggering…outrageous..only in Antigua kinda stuff…I love this town.
