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.
Avenue Trees. Photo: Guateantaño 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 ...
Ray Figueroa, producer La Bodega. Image: Ojo Cojo . 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) 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!
Ricardo Rodriguez, giving the book San Sebastian, Recovery Comprehensive Neighborhood 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. You can read more about this book (which is free) by clicking here and will soon fully downloadable, photographs and all free of charge. And let you know when it becomes available.

Luis Aceituno again For I remember the event in the Avenida de Los Arboles (15 Ave and 7th Street) the Sunday 13 at 10 a.m. (do not miss it!) and down a play that looks very interesting and will be presenting it next week.
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? But if you want events, I recommend you see the billboard now XXI Century Magacine because although they do not take everything that happens in the Historic Center (nobody cope, and I), if they take enough .
if I put the next card, but at least for today, I recommend the Saturday at 8 pm the Night Psychedelic Music and European Cinema in Bad attiude (4a Calle 5-10 zone 1) and the Gran Hotel has events every night. Well, you know, this weekend around dense La Luna , The 100 Doors , The Portalito , Tacos Tequila, La Maga , Red House and bars Altuna and The Cebollines .
And with that I leave for today, my beloved little girl @ s @ s, I hope you had a great week and even more fabulous weekend to enjoy. Be kind to each other and vice versa, life is short and costs nothing to be nice. They want !
