Lets get Kinky!
Last night Kinky performed at Emo’s (on 6th St). They have a really good show and their electro-lounge-funk style makes you wanna dance all night.
The best part is that before the concert the organizers announced that Jumbo was going to be playing on Nov 2nd and they told the crawd that whoever knew the name of 3 songs of Jumbo was going to get free tickets for that concert. I was a bit far from the stage and I thought that the question was really easy and someone was going to answer it right away, so I didn’t bother going there. But after a few minutes and seeing that apparently no one knew the answer, my friend Lucia dragged me to the stage where I told them the first three songs that came to my mind (siento que, super-acido, monotransistor) and they gave me 2 tickets for the concert. Of course I’m taking Lucia to the concert because she was the one that dragged me over there.
Trip to Spain: Episode I
[Update - 10/24/2006] : My visa just got approved! 
Pa’ España me voy! Joder!
A few months ago, I was chatting with my friend Carolina Vásquez and I was telling her that the next three places I would like to visit for vacations would be: Australia, Spain and the southern part of south america (Argentina, Uruguay and Chile). Since she is living in Barcelona, Spain she told me that I should go and visit her and the idea sounded really good. We talked about it a few more times and then I decided to get serious about it and started looking at flight fares and convinient dates to travel. I talked to Johnny Kings since he is doing his PhD in Barcelona asking him for some advice and he sent me a link to the Spanish Consulate in Chicago where I found the different requirements for the Schengen visa. The list of required documents was quite long, but I started collecting everyone of them.
Last week I got all the documents ready and I planned a trip to Houston last sunday, to go to the consulate first time in the morning. In Houston I went to Ikea and bought my self a nice wine bottle organizer and a frame for a Guillermo Velez painting (Caldo de Pollo) that I had on a very cheap frame. Then I met with my friend Carlos Marchani who is going to be moving to Norway in November and then I went to David Levinson’s apartment where I stayed.
On Monday morning I got to the consulate at 9am when they open and there were 5 people already there. The consulate was a very small office and by 10:15am I was done. The women in charge told me that I should now in about 10 to 15 days if my Schengen visa was approved or not.
Hopefully I will be posting again in a couple of weeks telling you good news.
If you have been to Spain I would highly appreciate if you post a list of places/events/food I should try over there.
Ole!
