‘people comin’ and people going…this evening is Nelson’s last (and no, I don’t when/if he’ll be back. He’s been filling in gigs in Gautemala City and working a full schedule here…Piano Mike is back from the You Ess of A and Yves Goudard/lady are gradually getting rid of their furniture..did I remember (always dicey)them saying something about Morocco?
Alabama Bob returns from El Salvador (and Evelyn)today and we’ll huddle tonight about next weeks little jaunt to Zacapa and beyond. HBT is still in ‘difficulties’ and the Perfesser won’t be back til September the Something. It’ll be interesting to see what’s up with the ‘house’ and if the Vortex People are still there. Dr J played (I think) at Cafe No Se this week…Wednesday, he told me.
There’s a lot of Salvadorenos in town(August is their favorite month to visit)and a slew/host of cultural events tonight..some in honor of the ‘Salvos..
a SegWay tour? yep..’saw my first group of six or so, making the rounds with a stop at La Merced…weird, seeing a group, like a bunch of mechanical ducks strung out (and blocking traffic on 6th Ave)
what was the El Shaman bar/restaurant, next to the church on 5th calle? spruced up..paint, lamps, flowers..the building always had a certain charm for me, with the ruins next door..and Las Margaritas, the short-live mexican food place in the Ocelot patio? Shawn’s thinking of doing something with the space..I say take the vacation first and THEN think about it…he once confided that he wanted to take over ALL the first floor…has Nocturne started up, in what was La Morena?
and Fusion/La Calle, after an injection of serious Carla B energy, has lost her…pain struck (again)too bad for both…she brought a lot to the table.
