‘ran into Da Mayor yesterday, across from City Hall…casually dressed, sleeves rolled up and looking a bit worn around the edges…we shook hands, I wished him luck(with 7 indictments/denuncias, he’s gonna need that plus the 28.6mil quetzals just to pay his legal fees)…nah, that’s not enough $$ to pay the attorneys…i’m kinda sad and surprised to see him in this spot….he’s done a lot for Antigua.
the Hamburguesa Gigante place that was in the Casa Flan Antigua between BAC and corner? moved…and if they couldnt’ make it on the Plaza, the new location on 7th ave norte, just south of the Jardin Bavaria, isn’t exactly prime time..
Nelson Lunding, our hardest working musician, has announced the play schedule for June…my personal fave? he, Wayne Hooper and Adan the Cuban…wednesday night, 8:30-11…Ocelot, the only real jazz bar for mile around.

what’s this, you ask? and rightfully so…those Amazon folks who brought you and a few zillions the Kindle device have now expanded into Europe, with their own publishing arm(or foot, ) so? too early to tell if it’ll impact sales of the little bookette but it can’t hurt…next week, theoretically the local print version of the Our Man etc comes out…larger, bigger, better, cha cha..if you don’t see me around town tonight, that’s because i’m stayin’ in…’been a week of software hell, the mind is fried(so what’s new?) and I just don’t feel like suitin’ up, frankly, Scarlette. and where the hell is Tom Martin? we’ve got a window of time to go visit Take-a-Lick Abaj, as in next week….Otto the Prez will be there the following week for the Solstice stuff…will he wear feathers and beads? Tom? o, that’s right…duh..he’s the owner/driver of the 96 Mercury Cougar aka the Beige Bomb that passes everything but gas stations..I’m feelin’ the serious need to get outa Dodge for a few days…anywhere(but Esquintla) I leave you with a quote from Buckaroo Banzai…”no matter where you go, there you are.” (an early 80’s movie)
