Our Man in Antigua

or so I’m led to believe….this town, as always ‘ground zero’ for weirdness…the ‘unidicted co-conspirators’ circle contines to shrink as the seasonal players pack it in and head for home…Robto de Oro leaves Tuesday…Reed? don’t know..that’ll leave about four or so, churning new conspiracy theories, recycling tales of deals gone bad, folks hauled off by the FBI and or/interpol…where is that guy who claimed to be an INTERPOL agent a few weeks ago? …

ack..bad news on the local music front, mentioned by Shaun, confirmed by Adan…Ignacio, our Cuban drummer/vocalist? ..unknown to me, he is a diabetic and had some kind of injury earlier this week…which led to the loss of a leg…screw..ungood…who foots the bill? sick..sorry…

a party some 20 national guardsmen/women in Ocelot/Lava this afternoon…sucked up 1700q in beers…go MO!….

stopped by Djinn, where the ever-witchy Angel was showing Rajasthani moves to a couple of local girls…swirls, scarves…she was more tricked out than usual, channeling Cleopatra or Elvira…eye make-up, the tikka spot between the eyes…spoooky…’bought some new incense by smell..couldn’t find my specs..got home and it reads “Intimo” afrodisiaco y para incrementar el poder de la seduccion”…so? what happens if  I burn some? by myself? do I do the deed to me, later? film at eleven..safe sex, defined..go f…k yourself…

manana, the Noche de los Chefs!….Convento Capuchinas!…yeah, I signed up again…however, this year i’m takin’ someone…well, not just ‘someone’…the ever marvelous Marbel…asked her if she has a scarf, wrap, shawl for the shoulders…it gets cool in there later…not to mention the…ah, gee…well, it’s a ‘visual’ , okay?..she’s a sweetheart and to tell the truth, I’m enjoying every minute of it…’been so long since I’ve been out with a woman, that it’s a whole new experience to me..

‘heard that my friend Dan’s place in San Salvador…”Lips” has been featured in some kinda TV documentary recently…if you have the link, send it…John K…if you know of this, tell me..the Paca was good to me today…two shirts, no replacement boots..hey, it’s Guatemala..

dos Reilly’s quiet early on….Aylin/Enlaces joined the latest outlet for the ‘little booklet that could’…signed up Fusion and Old Town Outfitters this week, two superb ‘outlets’…funny how it moves it certain places and dies in other…Nim Po’t?  nada, nuthin’, zip, bagels..why? who knows..i thought it’d be killer there..another idea down in flames..

thanks, Bull Durham, for the superb ribs/chops outa Tecpan…the ribs are history, the chops await their fate…added the leftover pork to a can of Toledo frijoles como Mexico…whoop tee do! pork and beans..some coban chili powder..screw you, van camps et al..ah, Ignacio…goddamn, man…what’s gonna happen? one of our better characters..damn, this sucks.. 

a last bit of absurdity…the old “Lounge” that was part of Pangea that became Braulios?…started painting the exterior the wrong color of red(campbell’s tomato)in expectation of it becoming a “Budweiser Exclusive” club…Bud only…o boy..Dumb Move #12…’yeah, let’s go to the Bud Club and have a few brewskies..”
