Like some kind of Afghan Loyal Jirga featuring MamaOaxaca, Sinead O'Connor, and AMLO...okay, the last two won't be there....they are both missing and presumed washed-up.

Location: somewhere near Reforma and Insurgentes - I'm thinking cantina.
Time: evening

This is not one to miss...

AMLO's not coming?????? Damn! and I had my hopes up and everything.

Shouldnt be a problem for me to make it anyways. (you know me.. ol' reliable!)

[MamaOaxaca]

I put an invite in with AMLO, his people will contact my people to let me know if he can make it.

Restration appears to be still open for the Best of British that Friday, Saturday, if any of you want to attend.

Guy,
I used to have a good friend who worked at/lived in the Casa de Los Amigos, he took me to a very quaint place in the neighborhood that hadn't been remodled in at least 5 decades, of course this was in the last century (1999) so who knows if it's still open, and still as charming. I seem to remember the doors opening on to that little square by the Oxford. There was also a place across the street from the Fronton Area? Stadium? Court? Thingamagig? What ever you call that huge hunk of a building. Then there is a bar at the Fridmont hotel which keeps it's light dim, allowing you to squint and call it vintage rather than shabby. Or there is/was an Argentine Parilla place across from the ISSTE theatre which I remember as have good eats, but terrible ambiance...

I'll go out with the camera this weekend and take pictures of places. Then we can vote.

AMLO has a late-night tv show to worry about these days, but maybe he'd like to come by and hoist a few with us. I'd like to have some words with him regarding a certain pothole in the city

Are fat gringos from Tijuana invited? Or are we not cool enough for the DF set? I will be transiting through Mexico City sometime around then on the way to Puebla.Would be happy to cover a few Tecates for all,or is it tequila time in DF?

[Guy Courchesne]

But of course! Wow...TJ's in the house. Oaxaca's in the house. Toluca's in the house. Like I said, this won't be one to miss. I just may dress up for it.

Hi! I don't remember how regularly various dave's esl groups meets, or if they consist mostly of underwear and tinsel toed fiesta invites...I'm going to be heading to Mexico to work in Michoacan at the end of Jan, and gave myself a week to dive into the monster that is Mexico City. Do you guys have regular pow wows?
happy new year!

[Guy Courchesne]

Thelmadatter and I try to have one about every month. In fact, we're having a quiet evening at a cafe in the centro historico tomorrow eve (anyone who wants to come can PM me for directions).

Name a weekend you'll be here in DF and we can organize another...

[Guy Courchesne]

Shall we go with funny hats or togas tomorrow night? FreddyM promised me a toga night one of these days...

[MamaOaxaca]

So have you scouted out the location yet?!!

Only 1 month to go and I'm so excited!!!

[Guy Courchesne]

I drove by in a taxi once or twice but have been way too busy in TEFL courses to get photos. I promise, I promise, I promise, pictures are coming soon. It looks like there are quite a few choices of cantina anyway.

While this thread is at the top, we're going to Mama Rumba in colonia Roma this Saturday around 9 PM for a late night out of live Cuban music, dancing, and the finest mojitos outside of Havana. PM me if you want to come.

[Guy Courchesne]

Ok, the promised photos are coming tomorrow. For those in the know, there is no way I can repeat last Saturday's performance...and I certainly hope thelmadatter has learned her lesson. No one goes rum bottle for rum bottle with this Canuck and remains conscious.
