A Night with Yoalli at Casita & Garden

We had a good crowd at Qulture yesterday for our weekly Scrabble games. Everyone is welcome to come and play, and we would appreciate any turntable game boards you are no longer using. No worries if tiles are missing; we have a bag full of replacement letters. Thanks in advance!

I went last night to listen to Yoalli Guerrero at Casita & Garden. Very close to a full house enjoying dinner – tourists for the most part, as I only recognized Eddie from the American English Tree language school and his lovely wife.

Yoalli has recently teamed up with Jorge, so they are testing the waters to find the right genres and picking songs that will suit their audiences. A request for Janis Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee” went exceptionally well; Yoalli is a rocker at heart.

You can hear her at The Palm Cabaret and Bar every Sunday night as Yitzhak opposite Jordon Carnegie’s Hedwig (and the Angry Inch). She is letter-perfect for the role.

She can also do slow and easy but has far too much energy to stay there for a sustained period. That just means she is always a delight to watch and listen to.

I am heading to Studs Bear Bar on Basilio Badillo tonight at 6, to catch up with Jerry Jones, the publisher of Out & About Puerto Vallarta magazine that sponsors these great Gay Mixers. They are an excellent opportunity for establishments to become more well-known in town, and eye candy is everywhere. If the crowds at every single one of these events are any indication, they have been the smash hit of the season. Maybe I will see you tonight.

Then, to Act2PV to see and hear NYC’s multiple-award-winning cabaret star Dawn Derow at 7 pm.

Tomorrow, up at the top of Pilitas Street, at Art Vallarta’s little theater, is the Opening Night of “Dangerous When Wet – Booze, Sex and My Mother.” Sounds promising, no? A full report on those upcomings as they unravel.
