Now's your chance to show everyone your singing voice.
Leigh and I were thinking it's high time to visit a Korean Kareoke club. There just so happens to be one in Mexico City's illustrious Zona Rosa.
What say you to Saturday, September 30th, roundabout 8 PM at Zubi Cantabar, corner of Hamburgo and Florencia? |

If you'd perfer warmer (and possibly wetter) climes, how about the ANUPI conference in Acapulco that weekend. I hear there are some fanatistic speakers lined up.  |

Yeah, but can they sing "Come Sail Away" after 6 or 7 Cuba libres?
Acapulco is intriguing...I'd like to have one of these get togethers outside of DF sometime. |

Hm.. I usually feel quite envious that I can't attend these get togethers. But this time, it gives me great joy to say that I would rather stick pins in my eyes than go to anything involving karaoke. Uuuuurrrrrghhhhh. shudder.

Wish I could join you for the karaoke experience! It is one of the many things I miss about Korea! I'm curious, what is everyone's definition of "naco"? |

Andrew Dice Clay epitomizes naco for me.
This might be considered naco...
This too...
A good friend here describes naco as a way of life |

If you heard me singing you would ban me from future posts. I'm with lozwich, karaoke is a type of torture for me. I would still support this, but I've got a good old Canadian BBQ that Saturday! I'll let you have a beer and warble something for me  |

Haha, when I first saw the subject line, I read Narcorific That would be a different party all together! I double checked when I saw the Ghetto Tooth Fairy. |

So did I, and only realised when I read your message! Since you and I both detest karaoke, it means we are both definitely not naco! Doesn't say much for the others though....  |

We're trying to alternate between naco and fresa locales for outings. Sat Sept 30th should be naco. Something in late October will be fresa. I was think of a Naco November at the Lucha Libre. |

I can't think of any suggestions for September.
End of October, how about a fresa costume party for Halloween? Fresas are more into the American tradition of Halloween than the more naco tradition of D�a de los Muertos, right?
For November the lucha libre . . . and then invite the wrestlers to go along to a karaoke bar afterwards. A few beers in those guys, hand them a microphone with The Kumbia Kings or Los Tigres del Norte for backup . . . could prove to be a night that would be hard to forget.
. . . just a thought.  |

Tim, you have the makings of a perfect party host. Or maybe a wedding planner. Something to consider in life-after-TEFL.

That second picture is painful to look at!!!!!
I showed them to my student worker here in the lab and she feels they do just fine to teach the word "naco" to gringos. ji ji ji ji |
