Thursday night was the Introduction of the Cervantino
Festival. It is held at the Teatro Juarez and is free to the public. A bunch of politcos sit on stage and talk about the four week long celebration. Then they showed a video to preview of all of the events. There is so much to do at Cervantino. The countries represented this year are Chile, Argentina, and Columbia, but people from all over the world come to perform. The shows include all kinds of dance, music, and theater. I am completed overwhelmed, I want to see everything. There are gospels, ballets, and performance art. It is one of the only festivals in the world that has so much at such an afforable price. In the U.S. it could run you $100 dollars for a Broadway show and here the shows are $15 and some are even free.
This is Barbara she is our new friend here. She works at the University and helped me get my job there. She told us about the Festival Introduction. We went out to dinner first and then went to the theater to see the preview. Aftwards there was free wine, shots of mescal, and a ton of free food. It was a blast!
The place was packed and I saw many people that I knew. I even met a girl that lives here and went to Mass Art the same year I was at the Museum School. It's such a small world. Okay so five glasses of wine later and we were able to convince Barbara to go with us after the cocktail party. First we hit up Los Lobos for a few beers. It's a fun bar in Gto. that plays classic rock. They also had a live band that night. It's funny to hear live bands play American Rock Music. It makes me feel better about my terrible Spanish. Then we hit up Bar Fly as usual. This is Nicole and Barbara sitting in our spot. Then our friend Marcos came to meet up with us. He has been in our Spanish classes for the past couple of weeks. I am not in classes right now, but Nicole
is and has kept in touch with Marcos. He is from Canada and can read people's energies. Nicole and I ask him questions all the time and he is always right. I do believe he has a special skill, and he's really funny and sarcastic.
