Our Man in Antigua

thanks to a long time Antiguena who poured half of the Absolute bottle as a cocktail at 5ish…so, if i were observed later, i was ‘glazed’….i know, big difference, eh?

Alex Long’s (Fusion)long awaited opening of the space next to his bistro? open, at last! Nido Antigua and there’s only one tiny space left, in the entrance-lobby…good for a kiosk…’thought that Bill Ipsan, the Cuban painter was going in and well as Dona Gavi…Bill’s gone to the City, where his client base is..Senora Gavi still in her tienda backa the cathedral..

Piano Mike leaving us Saturday…east coast…Nelson Lunding likewise leaving for a couple of months…the music scene in the town is taking a couple of giant hits…is there a jukebox in this country? bring it on…B-18, Hank Williams…G4, the Patron Saint of Hansen’s Disease, aka leprosy…Patsy Cline…”I fall to pieces” or as the midget did, when he walked into the bathroom and kissed everyone…ack…can’t go there…

thanks, Alabama/Plumb Bob, for showing me a new finger move..Riki’s dark for a few days…Cashbar closed for a few days…Red’s dead…same-o same-o, guess the salsa angle isn’t working out.

Leslie Swezey’s brother, Pablo? recently operated on for a brain tumor…got the tumor but the prognosis ain’t good…complications and very bad…i’ve had two friends who went down this path…one survived, one didn’t..

Pablo A of Remax? sundowners on the Blue Sky terrace..and the latest edition of “Our Man in Antigua-stan” is out…bigger/better/cha cha cha…

www.createspace.com/3755222 for your friends who might want to know more about this burg we call  homo…no, home…it’s homogenous, ok?

and the new deli on 3rd calle? pan y fantasia? where Deliciosa was?  closed mondays, otherwise open 9-7pm…great selections! and the owner is a pistol…gotta mouth on her, I mean…I used to belong to a pistol club…’drink til midnight, piss til 1…drum roll..und ‘zo…that’s allll, folks! the weak end approaches, start early and as they say in San Francisco, don’t leave  your friends behind.
