‘back in October,after a very slow September, local merchants were rallying to the cry of ‘wait till November…and December…’ alas…December is almost history and the usual incoming crowd of norteamericano’s and others isn’t/hasn’t happened…why? who knows? it’s like the spawning patterns of salmon or lemmings….what is obvious is that a lot of restauants are empty, bars are sucking and even one of our more famous tour guides had a group of 5 or 6 today…this does not bode well for January…
the old Reilly’s location by the Arches? bringing in mattresses, blue/white bar furniture…the bar? you won’t recognize it…added a second level…for a Saturday night, it was quiet…Andy, the
Mime, doing a very small crowd…the marimba music worked, under City Hall and a concert, promoted, in front of the park…everywhere else? stick a fork in ’em…Jackson and Joe Bob doing a 7-9 gig at Travel Menu (senior citizen hours) James Mullen, the Viking, back in town, towing along a sweet blond Brazilian lady (low to the ground and built for speed)..the ever delicious Ceci, in town without son, going thru the park this morning..
what’s up with the reincarnated ‘El Muro’ location?..and looks like I gotta go check out places in town tomorrow.. Our Man in Antigua or a Year of Driving Dangerously…selling, dammit..
fortunately, HBT’s right wrist is showing signs of improvement…on weird, at 80 mph…
