New Gringo Meeting Place

A few weeks ago Culturas opened, a restaurant and bar with the emphasis on bar.

The lady who opened it, started Amigos 4 or 5 years ago, then sold it to the present owner last year.

As soon as she opened the new bar, gringos started showing up. I am a little mystified, because when she owned Amigos, she was a real bitch. I went in once and it was so bad, I refused to go back. I can't imagine that anyone would want to go to her new place.

But, it is now full.

I stopped by yesterday afternoon. I had time because I left early for rehearsal because Yella had a meeting at our house.

I was amazed at at how many people were there. I knew about half of them.

It has the same bad service as Amigo's but the coffee is considerably better. I will admit that the owner is more genial this time around.

But how long will it last?

Several people wanted to know where I have been. So I rolled out the "I'm in a play" story a few times. It doesn't hurt...drumming up business for the play.

Speaking of the play, believe it or not, I have memorized all the lines. Not well, mind you. I still can't cough them up on demand when we rehearse, but it is a start.

A good thing...we open in a week.

Shit!

I better get back to work...pounding those lines into what's left of my brain.
