I’ve never been one for performance art, but lately I’ve been toying around with cinematic interpretations of art…and life! This next piece is all you will ever need to see in order to understand Mexico. No, I didn’t add the soundtrack in post production -it came naturally.
I’d like to thank the [...]
One good thing about moving out of Condechi is that now I have enough extra pesos to indulge in my ultimate guilty pleasure – CABLEVISION! So far I’ve mostly watching music videos “Hey look, there’s Lil’ Wayne again!” But, it’s not all fun and games at the Casa de Chilangabacha!
I’ve found its great to start [...]
Getting to Austin on the Thursday of your first South by South West Festival is like parachuting into Disneyland in the middle of the Main Street Electrical Parade; you know you’ve arrived just in time for the best part, but how are you going to manage to appreciate Space Mountain, Dumbo and Kanye West before [...]
So, I’m about ready to fall over or have a head explosion. So many cool bands to see!!!!!!!! Tonight I’m going to do my best to check out Nina (can’t find tilde on this computer) Dioz, Chikita Violenta and Juan Son. Here’s a pic from last night.

In about 11 hours I’m gonna board a bus from Monterrey, Mexico to San Antonio, Texas and I ain’t skerred. If that Mickey Mouse Club member Justin Timberlake wasn’t deterred from going to Jalisco to do research for his new tequila brand after a bunch of severed heads were found in Oxxo coolers, then dammit [...]
If the Marge/Frida artwork wasn’t enough for you, here’s its counterpart the Homer invades Diego Rivera:
The original version evokes slightly different emotions
I don’t know why I was so fascinated by this art. Watching The SImpsons in Español is like hell on earth for me. The voices are grating and none of the jokes make sense. [...]
Congrats to my man Crayton AKA Tómas for winning the prize for identifying one of the Carla Bruni booty watchers. The man with no chin on the right is none other than Finance Minister Augustín Carstens, who apparently had a pretty busy week what with all that looking and condemning of Forbes magazine. Here he [...]
Wanna piss off an entire country? Add one of their most notorious troublemakers to your list of badrillionaires.That’s what Forbes Magazine when they listed Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman as number 701 on their list of the world’s richest people. Apparently they didn’t have a category for “druglord,” so they listed his industry as “shipping.”I bet [...]
Sacré Bleu! Ja, I’ve always wanted to say that. Now that I’ve gotten it out of the way, I’d like to talk about France’s recent visit to Mexico.
Basically, Sarkozy came over to platicar about the financial crisis and the drug madness. After talking with Calderón, he was all, “Calm down, dudes, no failed state here!“
“A [...]
A couple of weeks ago my photog pal Brian Harkin and I made the trip out to Iztapalapa AKA the Detroit of Mexico City, in order to interview Henry Chalfant, a super bad-ass 69-year-old. I thought I would be hardcore and take public transportation, but Brian had a bunch of equipment including a light that [...]
