Pineapples and Playoffs
Patrice and I are well rested after many hours of uninterrupted, delicious sleep. Good thing, as we have a busy day with Scrabble, at Qulture, Bingo for the dogs at Nacho Daddy, a birthday party at La Catrina Cantina, followed by Angeloo‘s show at 8. On our way home, I want to stop to say goodbye to Gilberto, who is retiring from Bar Frida which he has managed for 7 years. On Friday, also at La Catrina Cantina at 5 pm, Gloria Fiona dons less clothing – think leather corset, grabs a whip, and gets the bondage party started. This is her third venture into public S & M, complete with a safe word, that has taken the public by storm (trooper?) Each of her Burlesque shows has been a little more daring, very interesting from a prurient standpoint, and, above all, fun set to pulsing music with guest stars. There may be a few tickets for ”Hallowkink” left. Check VallartaCalendar.com for details.
Chris Lopez is producing the second-season Grand Opening of Coco Cabaret on October 31 at 9 pm. The star-studded cast will include visitations by Coco’s brightest stars with loads of singing, dancing, and fabulous visuals. As always, if it’s a Chris Lopez Production, just get tickets and go.
Besides being a clothes horse and a fabric hoarder, I am also a compulsive gardener when it comes to pineapples. If I forget to have the ‘corona’ removed from a fresh piña, I HAVE to put it in water and watch it grow. And grow. Anyway, my tiny patio is full of pineapple plants that have great root systems and are looking for homes. They need a lot of space that I do not have. So, if anyone has an acreage or a big, empty pot and can use some of these healthy, beautiful specimens, let me know. A caveat, I have no idea if they will ever bear fruit, but they are as stately as agave cactus.
Baseball anybody? Patrice and I walked over to Nacho Daddy to watch Game Four of the World Series and to eat totopos and salsa (both delightfully good!). We saw the gigantic burritos coming out of the kitchen and decided to split one (no way we could have each finished the whole thing!). Oh yes, and we had to talk baseball and watch it. Nacho Daddy was open until 1 am the night before when the two teams played 18 innings! They are extremely well-matched, from my really-not-interested perspective. We left Tammy Prust, co-owner of Nacho Daddy, happy with her full house of baseball fans. We should have stuck around for the 7th inning when Toronto batted in four runs, eventually winning the game, 6 to 2 over the LA Dodgers. The World Series is now tied two games apiece.
Look for Patrice and me creeping around Vallarta’s streets looking for hugs – no costuming required.
