Coming soon, to a town near you: Sept 15th, Independence Day,, Guatemalan style. Sobremesa, in cahoots with Pappy’s BBQ, is doing a two day brunch thing, involving bbq this/that, with eggs and I think Alex mentioned mimosas…I’ve quit bbqing…ok, ‘grilling’ to be exact, since i can’t beat/top/outdo Pappy’s products. If only I could get there before he’s sold out.
La Taverna, the new bar inside the La Fuente plaza on 4th calle? becoming a ‘hang out- for other bar owners…Travel Menu used to fulfill that function except they’re becoming more popular….Cap’t Gerry and his music are attracting a following, per Jerome…and even with their own website….actual marketing in this town? shocking concept, eh?
Papas and Beer finally gave up the ghost…the vacant place in front is rumored to maybe…nah, not even maybe, given the talent of the supposedly new players (no talent)…
yeah, I had to boot Frener Printers yesterday….another week of lame excuses, lies and so on…it was like pulling teeth to get the covers for the latest, ‘A Year of Driving Dangerously’ and then getting the first print run of 25 out the door and when I came back for more abuse….after 18 months of ‘working’ with me, one would think that another publication (and a 3rd one in the works)that he/they might want to continue making a little bit of money…no…
so, there’s a new twist at Reilly’s La Esquina (no, not her)…on Sunday afternoons they’re playing something called ‘corn hole’….yeah, that scared me also…Earth Lodge first brought it to my attention, so I guess it’s legit…I’ve gotta go by and Sunday and see just what the hell ‘corn hole’ really is…
Either way, I’m getting outa town this week…some beach, somewhere, some how…hopefully Copia Fiel will give me a decent quote on printing my dumb little books and I can put this behind me and chill out in margarita-ville for a while. Yeah, various friends have said that this is how things work(or don’t work)in Guatemala…as in, ‘get over it’….after 18 months, I thought that maybe…..no, wrong (again)
