Get Thee To A Fishmonger
If you don't live near a market with a good fishmonger...
well, you just have to move.

White sea bass stuffed with tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers.I Think There Are More Than Seven
I must note the passing of one anti-authoritarian, from another:
Shit Piss Fuck Cunt Cocksucker Motherfucker Tits
It's like jazz....but surely we can think of more than seven!

LatinoFest 2
I had so much fun Saturday that I went back for a couple of hours Sunday. Here are some pictures, just for un poco de sabor.
Reggaeton Singer Jancy pumped up the crowd
Later he led a dance contest at the Verizon tent. Nice shades.

LatinoFest!
I celebrated the Summer Solstice by going to Baltimore's LatinoFest in the lovely Patterson Park, a few blocks from my house. It was so much fun that I thought I would share a little bit with you. If only I could include the music, the smells, and maybe a papusa or two you might almost have as much fun as I did. As a consolation, here are some pictures:
There were little outfits for los niños
Patriotic stuff from every nation
Now, on to the food!
This one looks pretty good...
Margaritas being made by an alligator, pretty sweet.
I just stuck with cerveza, otra Dos Equis, por favor
Domino, perhaps the best game, I mean lifestyle, ever invented.
ESPN was running a tournament behind a big truck.
They had nice tables with built in racks,
but there's no way I could beat these guys.
There was a whole lot of dancing going on

Soccer Jerseys
And, of course, the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Now, on to the food!
This one looks pretty good...
Puerto Rico was well represented
Corn!
Papusas!
The Tasty Kiosk!! Arepas and a bunch of stuff that I could only order by pointing at!
Meat spinning over a fire, which is about the coolest thing meat can do before being eaten.

These people were doing some kind of circle dance that looked like a lot of fun. I got to dance with some pretty girls, but, unfortunately, there is no way I can have that much fun and take pictures at the same time.
The Man!
That says it all
YES - they rock the Latin Jazz!
The best part of the day was the main event,
Eddie Palmieri and his band La Perfecta II.
9 time Grammy Award winner.
If you need to know more Google it quick, and get up and dance!

I'll just leave you with that tease for now, because I had so much fun Saturday that I had to go back Sunday. There is life in the city.

Back to Theme
Back to the Blogs!
Due to popular demand from small spiny nocturnal insectivores everywhere, I have decided to return to the blogs. Lots of unnecessary opinions and wonderful pictures will follow. Since I don't have anything to say right now, I will post a short poem I wrote to get things started.
They were so small
yet so large
so few
yet so many
just like me
yet so different
so far away
but somehow
right here in front of me
I knew them by their first names
Fred, Harriet, Abbie, Emma, Ken, Janis, Martin, Billie, George, Nanny, John
ordinary names
that somehow signify
so much more than
ordinary names
wingless angels
dancing before me
not on the head of a pin
but on the head
of a pen.
