The Crime Writer by Gregg Hurwitz review

Back from Chile now, tell you more later.

Leaving for Chile in 6 hours. We have two shows confirmed, one in Santiago and one in Talca, and hoping for at least one more.

Also, one of them is the presentation of the first ever UPMA book, first published in Chile because we are lazy and our chilean grandmaster isn't :P It celebrates our 10 years.

This is what you do in case you lose your camera:

I'm dumb and forgot to tell yous: got Christmas cards from Kaimee and Trin :D

Thanks, girls, really cool!

Started watching "The Mighty Boosh". Thought the first episode was horrible. but it started going up from there. And episode 4 (Tundra) was plain fantastic, including this amazing song:

Also, since the 2010 reading challenge will help me keep track of what I read during this year, I've decided to make a wiki to do the same with the movies I watch:

Patricio's 2010 list of movies

4 and a half hours of the new year have passed already and so far it seems to be very much like the old one. But people, congratulations, we managed to pass one more year without completely destroying our civilization!

Seriously, hope you all have a happy new year!!!

Just watched the first episode of Whitest Kids U'Know. I'm not that impressed with the acted sketchs, but I thought the musical ones were quite good.

An early merry happy Christmas to all of you. It's been a pleasure sharing another year with some of the best people around.

And, as usual, to all my friends, well, much gratitude!

Friday night Antes Bien played it's second show. It was a small place (about 75 persons). There were about 50 persons or so.
While it was far from full, it was a pretty good show, we managed to sound better than the previous time (even with the drumms kit breaking during our set and some problems with disconnecting cables I had), joke a lot and improvise (when the drumms set broke, I started playing and singing a quiet, almost acoustic song that we weren't going to play, with Pablo following me with some quiet arpeggios. We managed to get through half of the song before the kit was fixed. Worked pretty fine to entertain the people).
OUr personalities on stage haven't changed a lot yet: Fede is still the most energetic and "alive", followed by me. Pablo is still a mummy :P But I'm quite happy by the ammount of energy we manage to send from stage into the crowd, something that I didn't think possible. We are pretty quiet people usually and on stage there's a change that works nicely.
Also, I could really get used to all the congratulations and salutations you receive when you get off stage. It's pretty nice. A little embarrasing (and you wonder if really deserved) but reaaaaaaallyyyyyy nice.

We played a 14 songs set, including all the songs in our EP plus two covers ("Along the way" and "About a girl"). We even pulled a "three songs in three minutes" mini set inside it. I'm quite content. Now, if everything goes as planned, the next gigs should be in Chile.

Custom My Little Pony for you!

Got an iippostcard!

Woohoooo! February 22: NOFX in Buenos Aires! :D

I have several Google Wave invitations. If you want one, just lemme know.

And this is the reason why comics aren't considered a more important art form:

My band's first EP:

7 imagenes imperfectas ep

Finally got around to watching "Zombieland". Loved it!

Now to upload an Antes Bien song here.

Right now I'm listening to the final version of Antes Bien's first ever album :D :D :D :D :D

7 songs, lotsa hardcore punk, some pop... I'm quite content :D

First, it's Mother's Day in Argentina, so Happy Mother's Day to you, you and you. And maybe to you. And maybe to you too, you just don't know it yet.

Recording updates:

All guitars, drumms and bass recorded. About 75% vocals recorded, only 2 songs and back up voices left.

This afternoon we should finish all the recording and next weekend do the mix.

I jusst finished reading one of the most fascinating webcmics ever. It's just 44 strips long, you can probably finish it in 10-15 minutes and it's totally worth it.
