yep, coming round next week, on the 31st is another celestial event of the Oriental persuasion…will there be more fireworks than usual (it that’s possible?
in what was the last picture show’ at Micho’s last night, Bobby Darling’s 8 week contract was not extended…why? certainly drew the crowds, week after week. A another restaurenteur has offered to maintain the gig elsewhere. I bailed out at the last minute, not wanting to hear another rendition of ‘Mack the Knife.’….i realized that it had bad connotatons/memories wrapped in it, from a long time ago(I dated his widow for awhile)…and thought that I’d processed all that crap.
Big changes in the in Ocelot patio….Steve Wintershaw has more or less completely redone the interior and nicely so…and a couple of the lampreys/remoras that have been lurking in the corners won’t be there much longer….even more mysterious, reports that one recently got arrested for dealing.
and some hanky-panky in the venerable Club Antigueña next to where I live….’seems that about a year ago there some some $30K…USD in the coffers….now, a few months later, with some new local administrators of he Guatemalan version, the money isn’t there…oops and no big parties to blame it on, either…and alas, one of our local artists, banned again from a particular bar..’permanently’ I heard.
And next month’s proposed jaunt to the Rio Dulce and beyond? every day it gets a bit fragmented, depending on who wants to go, who can and who’s got transport/SS…maybe just rent a big shuttle and call it the “Metamucil Tour’…hmmm.load up(st to speak) a few hostesses(not Twinkies) and travel in style.
so, drop in at Ocelot and check out the new murals….Lava is still doing their 6-7 happy hour for 5q but I’m not impressed with the plastic glasses or the minimal pours.. and for those in need of serious ‘eye candy’ the luscious Marbel is working Fri/Saturday night at Reilly’s la Esquina. I might, just to be sure that community standards are being enforced, such as if I told her that she had a beautiful body, would she hold it against me?
lastly, monthly sales on Amazon for taking off….www.amazon.com/author/michaelsherer
