Fidel With Abbey!

Tonight we went to go see Fidel Nadal at the Niceto club with Abbey, and I took notes for a paper I have to write about Fidel Nadal. 

We're hanging out in our tiny room now listening to some songs you often hear at boliches :-)

Finally!

Last night we had this horrible school party that was a mix of summer camp and a bar mitzvah...with booze. So J and I immediately aced out of there in search of something else to do. We picked up J's brother from his hotel, went to Milion for a drink or two, and then went to Zizek. Zizek is this group of DJ's that travels the world and are now at the VooDoo bar for a couple of weeks. I was SO excited to finally see them. They were fantastic! I could've stayed and danced there forever!

The End is Near...

This is a long weekend in Buenos Aires, I am not really sure why, but we have Monday off. Thursday night I went to kosher food with J and our friend Ellie at a place called Asian. Delicious!  Then we went to see our music Prof. play at a jazz place called Vilasoro or something like that. Afterwards, some kids from our school threw a benefit called Drink for the Kids, so it was mostly just a bunch of NYU kids at a bar. Pretty fun! 

The next night we went to eat at Don Julio, a delicious parilla. Afterwards we went to the really cool bar Milion, and then to the Shamrock. But, we went home early.

Last night Ellie and I went to eat at a restaurant but it was closed, so we took a cab to Kosher Bistro and ate there around 1 am!! The place was still packed. Afterwards, we went to a place called Asia de Cuba. It is a club on the port that is really fun. The music was an excellent selection of American 80's rock, which Ellie thoroughly appreciated. 

We are headed into finals, so I am going to be really busy the next week or two. Besides finals I have to pack up all my stuff and figure out about traveling.

J's parents just got here though! They are going to Jujuy to pick up her sister, and then the whole Glaze family will be in Buenos Aires rockin out! I am excited for all the fun!

Makes me miss my family though...

Another Commercial I like...

This is for a cheap and pretty nasty beer, but damn, is the song catchy or what!

Galactic and.....Chali 2na!!

I know I haven't written about Paraguay yet, there isn't that much to say. But, last night I went to go see the Galactic show at La Trastienda Club. Galactic's set was way jazzier with rock vibes, whereas when I saw them in Chicago in February, they were much more bluegrass. Great either way! And to my surprise Chicago native Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 had joined the tour 4 days earlier. What an amazing show! I gave him crap for not being on the Galactic tour when they were in Chicago, but he was on tour with Ozomatli. Turns out he is promoting his album Fish Outta Water that will be out this summer, and he will be in the Chi on June 27. I recommend you go, cause it was an absolutely fantastic show!

Gotta get back to work!

Back in B.A.

I am back from Paraguay and I am fine. I am just really stressed and overwhelmed with work because I missed 2 weeks of school do to illness. Also, the semester is coming to an end so they are starting to pile stuff on us. I will write about Paraguay as soon as I don't feel stressed.

I miss you all!!

Learning to Upload Pics

This is the oldest train in the Spanish speaking world. It was built in the 30s and is still active here in Buenos Aires, I believe it is the C train but I don't really remember. You actually pull the doors open yourself! The government tried to update the train but everyone complained and so they left it.

The graffiti you see is actually a really cool art piece in the newly updated train stations of the C train. I just think it's interesting to see where old and new B.A. meet.

Dame Un Beso

I don't know why I like this song so much. I heard this guy perform it live and just loved it:
