… but no time to write. Been busy putting this together today: early stages, etc… agaveweb.com/shop (I’m not putting an active link in just yet, don’t want it indexed before the actual domain). It’s, er, very Santa Cruz…
(Keane, last night, doing their thing…)
Or somesuch, let’s see if a) this link works and b) you can read it…
Didn’t work, so… click here and shove this site’s address in the box:
Sita, Monica and I nipped over to Tequila again this afternoon. We planned to look up the Columpio folks and give them some photos from last time and some UK coins but I left them on the table when we left, so that’ll have to be next time. We’ll probably be back within a week though as there’s some new archives that Sita’s just discovered. Luckily I remembered me camera. Have an eyeful here of the set. And again, here’s me 3 faves:
Just for the record, the tequila museum’ll set you back 15 pesos, unless you’re a student or over 60, and Mundo Cuervo (a state of the art tequila manufacturing theme park) is MX$100 including a tiny little margarita at the end of the tour and a few samples. It’s a good introduction to all things agave but was a bit too slick and corporate for my tastes, it lacks the enthusiastic-newcomer feel of La Cofradia and olde worlde charm of Columpio. And there’s the whole Hair Net Issue…
PS… 6,066 photos / 27,657 views … 😀
I’m in apple green, long hair… more info about the event https://runningupforair.com/
So, my fastest up and down time for this in the past was 1hr45m which I more or less did the first lap, then diminishing returns, 3rd lap’s ascent was brutal but it does help to be told ‘Good job’ by everyone flying past. Happy with me results. + a Personal Record for the descent on lap 3: 30m43s, I’ll take snow over rocks and roots any day of the month.
Tulum phootos. Very slowly…
If only to stem the tide of “What have you been up to since seeing them charros on Sunday” questions that have been filling up my inbox, here´s a summary.
Photojournalism classes: 2 per week, 4 hours each in the Hospicio Cabañas in the centre of town. Intriguing stuff, if a little long. I´m remembering why I gave up academia in the first place. I can´t deal with people talking in dark rooms for hours on end. But it has its highlights and the bloke doing the seminars has a lot to teach, definitely glad I signed up…
Yesterday, some fine tuning of the tequila pictures for G.Tulum tequila and a visit to the place where they´re making the bottles.
They’d actually already finished making the bottles for my client, but they were busy making bull and machine gun shaped bottles for someone else.
I’ve also been doing bits and bobs for www.sit2007.org and today and last night I had a go at designing a logo for the Flickr’s Vivir Guadalajara splinter group the recently christened El Lente Tapatío… Here’s the latest iteration, judgement tomorrow…
This morning I read Sita’s latest chapter and it’s excellent as usual, all about the neo liberal politics of tequila protection. And it’s actually hard to put down. Right now Sita’s watching Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes as part of her research and is gasping at every plot twist and loving it. I think I’ll join her. A bientot, mes amis.
