Our Man in Antigua

as if is wasn’t bad enough before, now we’ve got the legions of girls (mainly)taking endless fotos of themselves….why? who has the time to look at them? ‘boring 21st century version of home movies/video cameras…

so, Nelson is playing 2X a week at Frank’s place on the hill and now…Cactus Grill…ta da! when did the Japanese place on 5th sur become a Korean restaurant? Las Vibras is apparently trying it again…let’s hope they learned about having licenses this time.

and, congrats to the Snug….their one year anniversary rolled around this week and I missed it, just like I missed the annual ‘open trough’ event at El Cazadore Italiano. I really should get out more often(at night) and I am/will, starting at least next Wednesday for the monthly Panza Verde gallery opening night. Yeah, the ‘health’ is improving, I’m walking better and so on.

and the mighty Maite has kicked out an opening in the adjoining  space, what was ‘Paz’…how much of that block does she own, anyway? I could ask, I s’pose. Will it just be a bigger El Sol’?

the obese beggar with the sombrero, who had the sidewalk in front of Piccadilly, on 4th calle? he’s gone (died) as of about a week ago..

say what you will about San Lucas and the proliferation of shopping but is beats the hell out of going to the City. If HBT were here, he wouldn’t have to go that far for frozen waffles….anyone seen him lately? not me (see above disclaimer).

and it’s ‘adios’ to Neil Craig (Pangea/Michos)…he gave it his all but the restaurant biz here is very very tough…and per the paper, the north/Peten is getting all the rain this year. Something to do with El Nino but where’s the Pinta and the Santa Maria?

ok, fine….have  great weak end(I already have one, alas).
