Stomach Ache After Eating Watermelon

ROLL CONTINUES

Madrugada El Portal

Thanks to all of you have written or in private or in the blog have posted their concern and support - and disagreements - especially in Regarding the case of Farnes. I know the blog is not "tiny gold" you'll like them all, but still your comments are welcome and believe me if all that unites us is our love for Historical Center, although we disagree with other things, it is good that we have that in common. Each and one of us can contribute their bit in our different areas.

Well, it's still Farnés and other exciting things that today I will detail center.

The last two letters from the mayor (previous post), just as politely replied Farnes (I've always said that people talking means) by clarifying and requesting a hearing. You can read the letter Farnés clicking here.

Moreover, Farnes told me now he also wants to clarify that at no time accused said all this to Architect Ricardo Rodriguez, Director of the Historical Center , with whom in general, has never had a problem and has always maintained cordial relations .

harassment, as defined Farnes, comes from misunderstandings of the Committee Single Barrio de San Sebastian, as you can see from this letter that sent the San Sebastian CUB ( read it here), as well as the Multisectoral Unit . And yet, I said he has received support from many residents of San Sebastian themselves.

say that in these corridors of the Palace of the National Police scare. Only the comment as I commented to me ...

In regard to articles, the latter is the CREA Jorge Rodas, who wrote a strong note on Facebook, in which he accuses of aberrant behavior in the festive events of major national and states that of these events, no one complains. She adds: "I repeat: There is a fierce defense of a local, per se ..... It is a space for expression, similar to many others who may be targeted and therefore are worth, so they defend themselves . can read the rest of the note on Facebook.

Personally, I just want to add that I have been in Bad Attitude many times and nothing I've seen there or diners who arrive there, I never gave the impression that neither was gunned each other or do physiological needs on the street. There are many professionals who come to hear good music in Guatemala, which is what promotes Farnes, and people from the fields of art, students, media, etc. I care more shootings in the Zona Viva in the Center. There are many homeless through the streets near Bad Attitude and this, not the bar, is the most likely source of the deterioration of health.

No wonder the French Alliance and Cultural Center of Spain are working Farnés cultural projects. It is a cultural promoter and educator of first class. For me, then, that the best thing is that everyone involved feel to have one - or more - conversations, and clarification. Farnes tells me is just wanting to talk, for his part, and will request a formal hearing on the mayor's office.

Barrio San Sebastián

To all this, stating that the Quarter San Sebastian I love it, it CUB ommended that the worry of your neighborhood and I hope that solves your problem to the satisfaction of all and clarify the misunderstandings that have on the work of Farnes.

You know that good has come out of this? Has been given the opportunity to air issues that have not been aired and perhaps we should discuss in public.

The matter has been so controversial that his chat show on Sunday 27, Paulo Alvarado, the Nahual Alux and Contemporary Quartet, which brought up and was talking on the subject. We noted that in his next column Prensa Libre, also talks about this, so stay tuned your spine Non Troppo Presto in the press.

Paulo Alvarado. Photo: Prensa Libre

Speaking Paulo Alvarado, told me he is planning to move back to center after many years living outside the city, and expressed much enthusiasm for neighborhood recovery projects of collective Wool Cultural Pie, which has among its members people from La Ermita, Barrio San José, Barrio San Sebastián, Cerrito del Carmen, Candelaria and others. Cheers Paul, I do not know anyone who does not sit well.

Role of Puppetry Anti-Traditionalists in Red House

Another group that has begun to affect - And how! - in the center is the Artists Collective INAME. In The Red House, the INAME --- Or is The Impresentable? (I forget) - have had a full house series of events where people could no longer including the screening of Hell Marimbas and also a FANTASTIC show adult puppet, cocktail, function Anti-Traditionalists puppets. The entrance was free (passed cap at the end of the show), they filled the space up with people sitting on the floor, and the puppeteers and Argentine Manu Juliana gave a show, I repeat, absolutely fantastic.

take this opportunity to see the Red House Gallery , display Witch of Cecilia Porras Saen z, which are beautiful . It's good to see groups like this contribute to the revitalization of the Historic Center , each within its vision.

been there also open to the public a reading circle Juan Thought , on Saturday afternoon if I'm not wrong. To see that day there like me.

Speaking of books ... now to give me credit at several bookstores in the center! I just got a very nice version of The Cypresses Believe in God , a book I have recommended for years, for the price of a new magazine. It is not believed. The Book Bitter Fruit, the CIA in Guatemala . Very different books, both I have engazo. Changing

Conversation Luis Méndez Salinas, catafixia, with students in Module III of the Neighborhood Organization Cerrito del Carmen

Finally, Module III of neighborhood organization during the Cultural Center of Spain and Urban ended this weekend, ending the series of workshops with a flourish the discussion informal, but highly entertaining and informative, he had with students Luis Méndez Salinas of catafixia Editorial , a special editorial project.

These courses had from neighbors of generations of traditional neighborhood center as well as an archaeologist, teachers and artists of various disciplines: poets, musicians, reggae, modern pop music, mime, theater, fashion design, photography and more. The synergy - can not think of another word - which emerged from this group has been very enriching for all.

DRAMA IN THE OLD TOWN (WHEN NO?)

Nougat Fashion. Photo: Eny Roland.

These pictures are Eny Roland, almost all taken in E l Hysterical Center (stunning views) and the divine fashion Fashion Turron of Ichigo and Tock Mynor A. Veliz. Enjoy! And see below for events of Nougat Fashion and where to find your clothes.

MORE ABOUT THE SAGA OF FARN: is awesome - really awesome - the avalanche of news that the media hype have given the case Farnés lately. To read more about it, several articles have been dating, here are the last two: The Persistent Melómano by Alejandra Gutierrez V. of XXI Century , Evil by Luis Aceituno of elPeriódico , Alejandra Valdizán in and peripherally Alternative Rock and Guatemala by Javier Payet . Of course, there are others.

Mayor Don Alvaro Arzu response used the right to publish their views in two letters, short and polite, which can be read by clicking here and also here. It seems that the core of what is alleged is whether the Committee Unified District of San Sebastian are the ones who do not want it there, that if Bad Attitude is or is not within the neighborhood and everyone putting their two cents that good! For that we live in a democracy (remember well the years when you could not claim anything in public, so I appreciate these days).

wish to settle the matter. Speaking means people.

So are the ramifications of all this. Changing. Les I have several new ones. ...

The Hysterical Center has been very lively . Last week, sipping coffee and reading the newspaper Bar Central was the Architect Ricardo Rodriguez, director of the Office of the Historical Center. Buena Onda. Central Bar has become the place where one is coupled to meetings outside of work, at least in my experience. And there I saw Stefan Benchoam of Ultraviolet Projects at the opening of the exhibition of the art of José de León in Ex-Centric . Eny Roland

gave a photography workshop that was charming and very engazante . After the theoretical part interesting and entertaining, all students took the Cerrito del Carmen to take photos and practice what they learned. Everyone happy. How happy was!

was also rsheee-happy ...

Nougat Fashion (this top is the one I want for me!)

... forums theaters these days. The film forum and discussion group of The Marimbas of Hell , a day National Palace of Culture and as a couple of days later in The Red House (loaves look delis but as accept card I am disappointed!). The film is generating a lot of fans. See it just might!

addition to speaking Julio Hernandez, the director and producer, were on the chat show Marlov artist Barrios of The Torana and Don Alfonso, who plays of marimbero in the film and is really marimbero. I want to know who is at Blacko!!

By the way, if any of you run into Javier Payet these days around here, tell him porfa URGE ME I answer the message I left on his cellphone. And no, the guy does not owe me money.

Yep, all I went to the conversations of The Marimbas, and see that Julio Hernandez and his wife Pamela , who works at a publishing house, are re cool ... like most people habitually Hysterical Center. And that includes them YOU, my beloved little ones (they want!) (Well!)

And speaking of marimbas, read that what you are doing great Paulo Alvarado with marimba, clicking here. Do you see that they should not miss his talk on Sunday?

Besides going to see twice Marimbas of Hell (it's not have it in El Amate), I went to see the exhibition at Gallery Kilometer Zero National Palace entitled A Metaphor Violence Fund White . Interesting, very interesting. Mere conceptual roll, but has its charms. Go, that entry is free and place, beautiful .

This Sunday happened, went walking around downtown ...

Put My Face Hairstyle Free

THE SAGA OF A CHEESE MADE

Avenue Trees from The San Jose Tank

The event that I recommend for the week is this Friday at 6 pm the Film Forum in the National Palace Patio of Culture : The Marimbas of Hell, with Julio Hernandez (producer) and Marlov Barrios (La Torana). Free admission . (This film or where El Buki can find it, so take advantage).

I also recommend Dr. concert Sativa that will be after the talks, full across the Plaza de La Constitución , in the old Megatron (see events).

Gossip: Follow the telenovela in relation to the issue of beloved son Historical Center, Farnés who, incidentally, was the only affected bar owners have been encouraged to come forward and statements public on behalf of himself and others, about the harassment that has suffered some bars Historical Center by some departments of government authorities (the multi-sectoral, so I'm not quite sure exactly what it is).

have been a number of articles published about in elPeriódico ( see here), Diario de Centro America ( see here), I think XXI Century and others. Also, I have understood that there came a shout Guatevisión .

In order to see what happens. God willing everything will work out, will the clouds, and there Farnes and Bad Attitude still for long, offering good space for original rock in Guatemala. I'm talking that I think people understand, and boy has spoken Farnes. Few (if any) have done what the promoter of Guatemalan artists of all disciplines of music.

Luis Aceituno offers chat show at The Tank in San Jose

critic and writer Luis Aceituno , editor of the literary magazine Cultural Accordion, came to give a talk last Sunday at The San Jose tank, the precious historical and tank batteries in the Barrio de San José in Avenida de Los Arboles.

This man has culture and media, you, I could hear him talk about Pepe Milla for hours. I never imagined that Pepe Milla was so interesting, after years of having to read tedious Daughter of Head at school. The Goat: have to get your Travel Chronicles and writings on John Chapin .

The lively discussion group was organized by students in the course of Arts and Culture in Your Neighborhood offered by the Cultural Center of Spain .

Colectivo Cultural El Wool Pie has been working to recover the tank as a park and public space for residents. Great work is mainly taking place in the Historic Center these days, many recovery of public spaces by the Directorate of Historical Center as neighborhood groups, artists and other citizens.

Ceilings
Historical Center

I tell you in my constant walking - I wander forever - through the streets of the historic center (and as you will see in the pictures, I'm up on the roof), I discovered a company called La Gloria that takes many decades in the corner of Calle 11 and 5th Avenue (with parking). Sold, as well as huge candy bolsototas everything under the sun for baking: cocoa, chunks of chocolate and candy, pecans, cream of tartar and what do I know few more things, since I am not very pastry to say.

Civic Center Roof
discovered

the mentioned place I had to go shopping for material for my kind of cheese and milk in Intecap (great, they recommend) (and I'm going to put a creamery in Central Market, and will just espérense) . I was delighted and bought a bag of "chocolate chunks" that are supposedly sprinkled on ice cream, but I opened the bag as it was Tor-Trix and so I ate them. Cholesterol to the heart and delicious!

Historical Center Roof

These streets the Church of La Merced are very interesting to walk. I spent windows looking into so many beautiful and interesting business, which I have to return.

Speaking of interesting things: Who spends stealing the glasses to the statue of Tasso? And did I saw the big poster of a cunt that hit in the Paseo de La Sexta, full opposite Coffee House? (or Coffee House, I do not remember.) A crumbling wall now looks nicer. Mysterious artist who put it there, but I think many of us who will be the smell.

Historical Center Roof

Well, without more, we go to events, plus a fascinating call. I sure do I sign up, do not miss anything, but nothing, of what is offered. And the next post I'll share some pictures simply phenomenal, collaborative fashion designers and a fantastic photographer Guatemalan clog.

Artists Protest in front of the Palace of Culture Nat

First, I would not recommend super miss the chat show journalist and author Luis Aceituno the Sunday 13 at 10 am , and I will give two paramount reasons:

1. Why Luis Aceituno resume his life as follows: "Realistic magical Macondo, pornographer in Lourdes, barman at the Vatican rock critic in Iraq, bad influence on Antigua, Tulumaje surreal, modernist poet in New York, Navarro midget in the circus, a smoker of Gauloises in Paris, Blaise Cendrars in the Siberian, hopelessly lost in Tokyo, Ulysses in Dublin. How do I miss something?

2. For to be in the batteries of San José tank, a beautiful historical space that Cultural Collective Wool Pie has been working to recover as a public space cultural events, located in one of the most beautiful streets of the Historical Center: Avenue of Trees . These efforts Should be supported!

The discussion group is for free , and the tank is at 15 Avenue, between 5th and 7th streets (there is the 6th street), you can park there without a problem.

On Tuesday (I think) there was a protest called by the artists for the tragic death of artist Lúdica Box known as El Mono . An artist clearly very loved by many, judging by the pictures in the media, his funeral.

seems to be like the 3rd box artist Lúdica dying in violent circumstances in recent months and if we add that to the widespread violence which direct and indirect victims are those who live in Guatemala, it was called the protest. In addition, Playful Box is an excellent organization that does a lot for the community.

There was lots of music, juggling and there I found young Guate Graff, Stefan Benchoam of Ultraviolet Projects (always a great pleasure to see all these young people living modern art) and many others.

Chikach

In the 3rd Street 4-24 Zone 1 is the store the cooperative Chikach , located in a house with a yard full antañona flowers.

is a beautiful store with a cafe, coordinated by Harriet (Germany) dedicated to fair trade. I love that has lots of soaps, jellies, oils, aromatherapy and massage, honey, bread, to yoga classes are ... indeed, have a delicious jelly called jelly elder ... In short, they recommend. Look for them on Facebook too.

there I've just taken my happy consuegra Canada and bought several things found of excellent quality, as it is in all that stuff in aromatherapy. Purchased pine scent that the smell, he says he remembers his childhood in the mountains of Canada. Imagine Come to find memories of their childhood home on the streets of the historic center !

Julio Prado, Attorney CICIG and writer, offers a talk at the Cine-Forum La Bodega at the National Palace of Culture

As part of Guatemalan Film Festival the Cultural Center of Spain being promoted in the Historical Center, presented the film of La Bodega Ray Figueroa in the National Palace . I had not seen the movie you and is very strong , but very good. The performance of several of the actors is simply superb and the script leaves nothing to wish for a Greek tragedy. He then spoke eloquently

Julio Prado, attorney and author CICIG Satan Ride My Soul (which can be found in the library Cervantes House) and News blog With God on the issue of judicial reform in Guatemala, so this was followed by comments, questions and answers. And Ray Figueroa, of course, besides talent, is an absolutely lovely guy. In my book, definitely see all your movies!

The next Guatemalan Film Festival will be ...

I tell you Farnes, music promoter and culture, still in its escalating conflict with several government departments that have been making the lives of squares and for some time. Thus, we sent this statement to invite to a press conference in explaining his point of view:

Bad Attitude, 7 years serving the art and revitalization of historic downtown. A story that contrasts a past unforgettable contribution to the environment and institutions with a mind full of harassment, repression, marginalization and defamation. For several months we have received constant harassment of the so-called "multi-sectoral committee." The intentions of the institutions that form, is to close Bad Attitude. Press Conference to be held on Wednesday February 16 at 10:00 am. in 4th. Street 5-10 Zone 1. (Bad Attitude)

Bookstore in La Casa de Cervantes

Well and had told them of library books and the best today in the Historic Center is the one located in Casa de Cervantes , which belongs to the former manager of the bookstore The Thoughtful . The assortment of new and used books is excellent. It's like a mini-Sophos, only with better prices.

Christopher Pacheco, manager of the library Casa de Cervantes

There I found the latest book by Carlo Ginzburg, author of the great book of microhistory The Cheese and the Worms . Speaks volumes about the selection of books. They also have the last remaining copies of the incredible book Jean-Marie Simon, Guatemala , Eternal Spring, Eternal Tyranny , and the last of young poets as Vania Vargas, Pablo Bromo , Julio Prado, Luis Méndez Salinas , etc.

An author who does not litter young but still is goodism Max Araujo. Look for it in bookstores and learn from it.

paintings on display in the library are also a Guatemalan beauty of contemporary art. When I win the lottery and in the absence --- --- soon get to buy to fill the walls of the huge 12-quart antañona house I'm buying. The day will come (the last thing that dies is hope, "said the dreamer).

Corredor-Cervantes Coffee House (with wi-fi)
just been remodeled
Cervantes House and they have been very good. It

3 areas of coffee, one internal, the corridor and outside for those who prefer the fresh. There I met a group of ladies who meet every Wednesday at 3 pm to study Theosophy and took the opportunity to make a call to all of you who want to join for free to the study group are all welcome and all you just need interest and open mind to learn something new.

And no, I know it's Theosophy, sorry.

Fair Trade Shop, Casa de Cervantes

As Chikach , store Cervantes House is trading fair and have products Chikach different from, although some are similar. There are incense, aromatherapy, coffee Alhajadito, textiles, modern clothes, creams and oils, and much more. Come to know.

And if you want to know what is fair trade, go to Casa de Cervantes and read the writings on the walls. There it is explained better than Wikipedia.

Shop Cervantes House

So they grow, the new store is part of the remodeling and have another great innovation that is: A new English chef! If direct Spain, so if you want English tortilla, tortilla, potato, snacks and all those delicious things, you know where to go to prove.

Speaking of cooking, I tell them I made the folly or knavery, you want to call, to get me to a kind of cheese and milk in Intecap and Judas is leading me that I have to get up at 5 am to be in the to class on time, or close the door and not let in, and are strict. There I have layers and making cheese curd, and I gained a new respect for the Mara cheese you, because you do any work !

Coffee House Cervantes

What it is that I known a lot of interesting people from different socio-exonómicos areas and commercial life as it is to learn as much as possible, since I will continue in the course of cheeses. Returning to

Cervantes House. In the photo above you can see that from inside the coffee shop and is connected also to the library, so gives an impression of flow, very nice clarity and openness. Another thing I like is that there are poems on the walls, as the beautiful poem Alaíde Foppa in the wall of coffee (see photo below).

Foppa Alaíde Poem on the wall of House Cervantes

La Casa de Cervantes is on 5th Street 5-18 Zone 1, Centro Histórico. There is parking in front and if there is space, parking in the courtyard of Casa de Cervantes too. We will continue to count on more places in the coming posts.

I tell them that I just read a book Payeras Mario gave me his nephew, Javier Payet and I've enjoyed it. A great writer, I recommend it too. Here am I trying to catch up with Guatemalan authors!

Finally, before a large crowd and with the assistance of Mayor Alvaro Arzu and Ambassador of Spain, Ms. Díaz Orejas and the Director of the Historic Center, Ricardo Rodriguez was DIVINE delivery book of history and photography San Sebastian, Comprehensive Neighborhood Recovery .

Anyone who coordinated all the aesthetic eye and had to do so divine creation, however, was the architect Arturo Portillo, and I do not mean he's a friend but that unto Caesar what Caesar's, as they say. In addition, the participating the best historians of Guatemala.

I tell you the book, hard cover in fine paper, is cute-cute-cute . They can download a digital version on the website of the Municipality.

Other events I have little to announce more than anything because I'm exhausted and I have to go to bed because he's that kind of cheese ago up early makes me remember?
