no…not the one in Capone’s Chicago…the one in Antigua, where decorations/displays are up, the pressure is on and if you’re in a relationship, don’t screw this up(unless that’s the plan)
Nelson Lunding, our traveling troubadour? back!…doing his first gig Thursday night, 7:30 or so, at Spanglish..4th calle, oriente,in its most recent incarnation a Mexican joint, up the street from the first gas station, same block as Dominos, #28, I think…reincarnation? that’s where you come back…as a flower…drum roll, please.
Tomorrow night? Show #10 for Bobby Darling et al at Micho’s…7pm, get there early and I don’t think there’s an ounce of truth to the rumor that it’ll be an ‘All Elvis Night.’
Changes here and there…what was the old Jades antigua store on 5th norte, going thru serious remod work…Ocelot’s ever capricious owner talking about opening another operation, ‘around the corner’ to be called La Morena…the Sung, carving out a slice of biz, functioning as a serious Irish-type bar. I can’t comment, since I haven’t been to Ireland but I’ve spent time in the Irish bars in San Francisco..Clement St, Inner Richmond..you tell me the difference.
One by one, the seasonal ex-pats are leaving…John Adams today, Norm the K and wife prematurely per a medical emergency, Harvey et al…there’ll be some vacancies on the park benches very soon…Pappy’s BBQ, hitting home runs every week(selling out of food), Movie Star’s new location on 4th calle/3rd Ave….they do have deep pockets, so who cares if they make the rent?
So…don’t screw this up. Go out, buy the card, the chocolates and the roses…make the dinner reservation now or fuggedaboutit..you don’t have any choices here, ok?
