The VIP Pass
Apparently, Santiago has something of an international concert scene. This last week "The Violent Fems" were in town. Somehow they ended up finding Café Terra Nova, realized how cool it was (or maybe just that it had WiFi), and practically set up shop there the whole week. Then they put us on the guest list for their concert at the end of the week. Nice guys.
Its kind of funny because no one really knows who they are in the States anymore, but they were completely suprised to find out that they're insanely popular over here. (so were we) I mean, Spaniards can't even understand the words to sing along. They were pretty cool guys. They spent their time checking emails and coming up with silly lymrics about finding tuxedos and walking out on stage in speedos. You can tell that they have alot of fun in concert as well, even if the crowd doesn't have a clue what they're singing.
PS. The guy on the bass guitar at the far right is actually the sax player for "Pink Floyd". He's a friend of the band and happened to be touring with them.

Bart,
That's cool! I was a big 'Femmes fan in college. Never saw them live, though. On a different note, I can't wait to get together with you when you get home. God has you delving into deep waters, it seems, and I feel that I could learn much in just talking with you on your new perspectives as a result of your time there. Please call if you'll be in Austin at all over the holiday. Peace.
