Crime and Punishment

So I got some 'fan mail' recently. A certain Florida-based person of questionable character demanded to hear of orgies and arrests. Now seeing as lady-friend just flew back from down here on Saturday, i haven't had the time to facilitate the first request. As for the the latter...well the key is NOT to get arrested. The line between fun and jail is quite fine, and for you my lovely fan, i had it trod quite thoroughly.
Life is full of surprises and uncertainties, yet one constant that remains rock solid is, when heading out with Aussies, you are guaranteed an interesting time.

riding the charlie horse into town...



The first incident of the night occurred around 10:30, a bit after dinner for the local Argentines. All was quiet and serene, with the outside cafe's bustling with clients, that is until 3 Aussies pissed out of their minds on various cheap liqours start yelling in mock-cockney. I couldn't understand to much of what they were saying, but that did not stop me from filming and enjoying the scene, that is until i felt a nudge on my shoulder. It was someone from the hostel staff, who knew just enough english to point down to the cop awaiting our descent down to the street. The Aussies were oblivious, the cop was livid, and I was the sober one...Thank god for the back door!


Incident 2: rule of thumb, while urination in public may be frowned upon by many, it is apparently considered a crime punishable by death in Buenos Aires. So when the squad car pumps the lights, it is probably for you, run... and no, 5-0 is not a universal phrase.

incident 3: sure, punk in Spanish sounds fun, and it is truly an experience to attend a show, especially since Argentina is such a politicized country (more on that later) but try not to stick around for the ensuing noise complaints/arrests.

Even te Hard-cores need teir siesta...
