apropos of nuthin’, btw…maybe because it’s Sunday and the bells of La Merced went off when I walked by earlier. the day? overcast and gray…the town? dead, with a few zombies walking around with dark glasses on. Did it get a bit drunk out last night or did the fireworks cause retinal burn?
t he parades? on and on and on…’caught (inadvertantly) one of the last, going down 3rd calle and left on the ave to the plaza: there is a whole new crop of nymphets in cheer leader costumes doing the ‘bump and grind’ this year. Am I shocked or complaining? RU serious? they’re not my daughters, etc..also ran into the first part of the parade in the morning, minus Da Mayor amidst the usual dignitaries, followed by folks in military uniforms and then came the female detachment, dressed in cafe au lait chocolate brown uniforms….crack troops, all of them.
upper/mid 6th avenida going thru changes again(still) Ay Robot is closed, altho Dan said he was moving ‘closer in’ a few weeks ago…there’s some kind of Oriental cafe in the old Luna Miel space, with nice decor/short menu….Riki’s? supposedly settled the multi-owner/back taxes issues and is said….to have been bought by some kinda chain/franchise…maybe it’s the Elvis Presley Group: you know, the GreaseLand Cafe…
Luke playing at the S’Cargo Room? apparently…hey, a gig is a gig…what a week….Fuego goes off bigtime, the mayor goes away in color-coordinated handcuffs, Independence Day is over (anyone with half a brain left town) and we have a slow/quiet Sunday to recuperate.
