Our Man in Antigua

so…I’m walking along 4th Calle after a couple of pops at Ocelot..on the patio with the unusual group of suspects, Bob Miller,HBT, Jackson, Chocolate Bob and standing in front of El Jaulon is a nun and a monk, both holding flaming torches..hmmm..outside of Michos’s, next door is Coline and GGfoto, having a cig break..nope, they don’t know  anything about the tiki torches, except the conversation veers to the new group of Latina gangster women called ‘Las Chulas’…I told Coline and GG that I’d be happy to write letters of recommendation for them both to join the gang…

the torch/thing is some kinda convention involving big plastic name tags with mayan/woven/pattern neck loops, ties, suits, tourist coaches in the street and our main man from Escobars, tonight in a  splendid red velvet spanish suit of lights.. the only other restaurant in town doing business, aside from upstairs at El Jaulon, was Las Palmas, sucking up the  ‘crowd’ biz…a few singles, doubles here and there…Claudia #1 of Da Vinci, presiding over a few tables (and looking splendid) and what was up with all the red beret troops in town, scattered on every corner? must’ve been a serious politico in town to deserve the red beanie brigade.

an eye witness to the Brooktoberfest debacle on Sunday…40-50 people, at best, half with children(who don’t drink much beer) equals an financial disaster…8 portapotties, which i hate because those little soap bars in the tiny green plastic sink don’t lather up worth a damn.

and some kinda lukewarm interest in the old La Rumba/Ixcot space..the prospective tenants have the keys but they have cold feet…with that dumbass ‘beach concept’ next door, who can blame them…’13’…a ‘concept bar’…yeah, a very very dumb concept..and thanks to the sharp eyes of a reader than this site/contest is being stolen by ‘traveland resting.com….i guess i should be grateful but he should’ve asked first
