Finches show coming up!

Things got a little negative yesterday. Let's forget about that now.

Me and Gballs are heading to Mexico City tomorrow. I'm pretty excited but have felt a bit sick for the last couple of days which is preventing me from getting too stoked. I think it is all in my mind because I've been so freaked about the possibility I could get the flu and it would ruin my trip. Anyway, did you know that al pastor appeared in Mexico City in the 50's due to the culinary influence of Lebanese immigrants? I learned that and other facts in the book "good food in Mexico City". It has an extensive food term glossary that is going to come in soooooo handy. The author also has a blog. Any additional recommendations would be appreciated. We'll be heading to the "El Chopo" flea market which I guess is a big punk/metal/goth scene. Hopefully I'll find some funny shit to buy. We'll be traveling to Guanajuato, too, and of course to the MUMMY MUSEUM.

Oh yeah, and PLEASE don't forget to go see the Finches on Sunday night!! It's an early show, starts at 6:00 at the Press. Should be over by 9 or 9:30 because Roger also wants to go see the Nodzzz Yellow Fever show that is going on after. I'm bummed to miss these shows and will have to stuff my face with tortas to console myself.

    Cochita Pibil! I had that in the yucatan once, I can't wait to eat it again. I am so hungry. You know the more I read about it the more I think we should go to Xochimilco. And maybe even to that creepy doll island, even though I am not so into that part, I just like the colorful boats.

    Without the influx of Lebanese immigrants into Mexico, we also wouldn't have Salma Hayek's butt. I'd rather go without al pastor, personally.

    Perkus Tooth est vivant dans l'appartement de chien. Grinspoon et Hale ne sera jamais réunir la bande. Et l'astronaute dame était une pure fiction. Mais au moins, nous, les sans visage, peut se consoler en sachant que tous les Imperiums sont nés à l'automne. Les saisons de votre oubli sont innombrables.

  9. Here's what google transator said the frenchy said:"Perkus Tooth is living in an apartment dog. Grinspoon and Hale will never meet the band. And the astronaut lady was pure fiction. But at least we, the faceless, can take comfort in knowing that all the Imperium were born in the fall. The seasons of your forgetfulness are innumerable."

    How would Perkus Tooth fit in an apartment dog? Big dog? Little Perkus?

    Mr. Pinkus Truth knows the truth. Yes, près tout le monde. Seems strange that he should. He wasn't exactly the man of action at ces orgies parisiennes de la vôtre, if you catch my drift. You do, don't you? Certainement. Ordinaire des jeunes hommes, les filles ordinaires, ce que ne savent-ils?

    What does PT know? That's the thing, he never tells. Le type de silencieux.

    Seriously, though, there's been a mistake of identity. Pas celui-là. Mr. Slinkus Forsooth is surprised you remember that far back, mon clown beau.

    Bien, au revoir.
