Our Man in Antigua

for kinky stuff..Ryan the Wheeler said he saw my double…or doppelganger, on the streets this week…perfect: now I have someone to blame stuff on….’nope, wasn’t me’…he’s doing the spanish immersion thing at CSA, the school with the greatest uniforms…..tight Black Watch plaid skirts and black stockings..yeah, I’m sick…sue me…

yep…finally the 2nd Edition is in print…at Fernando’s, Mayan Kingdom and one at Whisky Den…another print run due on Saturday…I confess to coming down after a brief bout of grandiosity: hire Marvel to schlep it, lean on Frener to print 50 a week and turn my life into complete insanity…Marvel faded on me twice last Friday(thank you) and the handwriting was all over my wall…fuggedaboutit..and no, still no sign of the containr load from nor cal…only a month overdue…fine..and a giant tip of the moldy/stained panama to Bull Durham and his outrageously great pork ribs from Tecpan…I was snoozing aka conked out with my usual afternoon nap…he brought ’em to my door and left ’em on the kitchen counter…add some frijoles colorado from Bodegona, the Toledo brand from Mexico by the butcher counter and about the only thing missin’ would be some cornbread…

and a surprise call from Peter the G…’hangin’ at Fusion and talking with Carla…damn..if the bbq hadn’t been lit, everything prepped, I’da gone to town…’been a while since I’ve seen him…working his ass off in the City..

‘had another look at Alex of Fusion’s new project next door, in what was 709…the Oaxaca Mex place where the partner skimmed everything and left town in his underwear..per Alex, it’ll be Victorian/Art Deco/Colonial and there’s about a 7 or 8 tenant spaces, with a waiting list…the soft opening is scheduled for two weeks from now..’given the location, it should fly nicely…and a tip of the panama for sharing the old stories about Jay….amusing to hear from a long time Antigueno who knows where the past is buried..altho, that said, I’m always amused by hearing from other long timers about a 3rd party and with differing history….is there something in the water here? can we add lithium?

an unlikely duo seen on a moto….Lex C and Monica of Jungle Party? yep….big grins…and another loss to Antigua’s night life…Peter the Hodge accepted a job in China….some town called Wun Hung Low i think I heard…but, then you know that my hearing sucks…the first press run of the 2nd Edition came out last Friday and was totally gonzo by Tuesday…yeah, another 50 are ordered…money? what money? ain’t got any…the printer’s smiling though..and thanks to the folks for the comments about the ATM screw up here last Nov/Dec…yep, got them too and also for the kind words about the Smashwords ebook they bought..more happy customers and good reviews…thanks…

a bag of charcoal and some tasty scraps for the Rott and the Dobie that keep the Boogey Man outa the finca..lastly/leastly…there’s signs of commercial activity at what was Deliciosa on on 3rd Calle…there’s a semi-complete metal sign that seems to read “Pan E Fantasia”….nope, not a clue(typical)
