yeah, the rains…fine…the ‘summer cold’ has come and gone, thanks to some great meds called Lemovit. Add Vodka/OJ and stir…no shakin’ , please
the metal scaffold is down from what was Riki’s, on 4th avenida..what next?…Reilly’s #3, in what was La Esquina, plunging forward…pool tables, little side rooms….lots of luck going up against the rockin’ La Sala next door…’critical mass, get it? some do, some don’t…bigger isn’t always better, in other words.The original Reilly’s on 5t ave had it..Ocelot has it, Mono Loco, Cafe No Se is a prime example…
‘heard that Yann and lady have departed from Johnny’s place in Monterrico..belated honeymoon in Europe..have fun, you two..very sweet people but who’s gonna run Johnny’s?
Mario’s got his hands full with a wife, baby and La Sala…Papa Town , La Rumba and 13 continue to suck..what were they thinkin’ or smokin? A-Town is gonna lose a couple of main stay musicians in August…Nelson and Piano Mike. Nelson is hitting the road for probably six months, PM for two months…yah, Bobby Darling and Moriah will be here soon but playing at La Estancia?
and yes, wordpress ak weirdpress is very slow…suffice to say, that I’m sick of this…and finally, the latest, ‘The Year of Driving Dangerously’ is published…go to http://www.createspace.com/4370297 and order a 100 copies..Christmas/Hannukah, etc…and the August updated version of Our Man in Antigua-stan was just uploaded. Takes a couple of days for the ‘review process’..the usual changes/moves/unwanted advice…last but not least: the Marvelous Marbel is still working! same place, Il Leone on the plaza and the dish dishes out espresso in the mornings, sometimes in the evening. She’s one of my favorite ‘visuals’ and at my age, that’s as good as it gets.
