Puerto Vallarta Events, Shows, Live Music, Outdoor Fun and More!
Live entertainment is fraught with danger, which is why it’s so compelling. A dozen things can go wrong and often do, which can bring a superstar down to the level of a mere fan who is sitting in the audience, both wondering wtf happened to the microphone. When all the elements come together, however, that’s…
Coapinole gave up loads of treasures for both Patrice’s and my closets yesterday. Patrice is so very good about rotating her clothes and donating things she has worn to her heart’s content, so she has room in her closet for new things. I can’t say the same. I overflowed my closet over a year ago…
My agenda today looks like a shopping list to stock the QE2: the tianguis in Coapinole first thing, followed by a stop at the great charity-driven Hotel Bazaar in Lomas de Coapinole.

Happy one month to Christmas! A sobering thought that includes winter and New Year’s Eve mere weeks away. The only sad part about it is that my sister Patrice will be back in Canada, happily with her menagerie, dealing with the snow and cold. We celebrate each trip she makes to Mexico with a bus…

Here we are, the last day of the rainy season in Vallarta. Tomorrow marks the 23rd anniversary of Hurricane Kenna, and the latest occurring ‘big event’ weather-wise in the 34 years I have lived here. Kenna gave us only her tail end as she flew by up to San Blas, where she made landfall and…
There is something endearing about Elton John and his music. He is wonderfully weird and complicated, but under the layers of bejeweled eyeglasses, sequins, and feathers, I believe, is a kind and loving man. Daniel Celis captures that aspect of Elton John in ‘Rocketman Concert‘ and embodies the sheer joy of entertaining, after first making…
I have a new word to use for last night’s weather as a couple of hundred of us squeezed onto the rooftop of Cuale, a chi-chi renovated condo hotel on Aquiles Serdan – S U L T R Y. Another rendition of hot and humid. Still, it has a flick-feeling to it, as in moving…

The weekend flew by on top of expectations of rain and storms, and nothing happened. Lots of people are champing at the bit for Season to hurry up. We are impatiently tapping our toes and planning outdoor renovations that won’t be altered by a massive storm or, god forbid, a hurricane. It’s early to assume…
Scrabble and doggie Bingo today, but first a look at what’s coming up at The Palm and Coco Cabarets, starting next month.
