I have tickets for Pearl Jam :3

Today, after 2 years, Antes Bien plays a live show once again. High time to get back on stage and do what I do best: suck at playing guitar! :D

Who of you, oh faithful followers, have whatsApp so we can try it internationally? Does it work the same?

And now there's a new Rupert in town! :D

My sister gave me a new kindle yesterday.

Ah, new experiences...

Got a gun shoved on my face on Friday and my wallet and kindle stolen. Ahhh, the good times! :D

My book is out! :D It's been out for about a month, to be honest. I'll post pictures later. We do send internationally, but it's in Spanish >>

:D :D :D :D

We have the test copies for the fist BSM book (BSM being the sports blog / radio show I do with friends). Next week (12/06) we should have the 300 copies and the 19 we'll have the presentation and start selling it :3

I have a Kindle and it's named Rupert :3

NOw you can all go to Amazon and give me ebooks as presents :D

Tonight my sister is leaving for Europe. She'll be in Brussels, Paris, Italy, London and Amsterdam. I just thought yous should know it.

I just got off the phone with a well known sports journalist from Argentina. Pretty nice guy, he said that he wanted to give us a hand with our latest but "get rich fast" scheme.

I need to recap. Over a year ago the upma people started collaborating with an ongoing project named Bola Sin Manija (a blog that combines sports with humor, with very popular and very alternative sports. If you want to check it: www.bolasinmanija.com.ar) by people we didn't know a lot. The chemistry was perfect. Last year we started a radio show (originally we did UPMA and then Bola Sin manija. After Andres' demise last year we stopped UPMA) and it has been growing really well. To mention a few things that happend more by chance than design but that were impressive: we were able to send one of the guys to India to report on the Kabbadi World Cup (paid by the federation, not by us. To use, the whole 20 days trip cost 140 dollars); we interviewed Sergio Maravilla Martínes, one of the most important boxers nowadays; we had a guy in a Barcelona match in Spain (he was on vacation there) and there was a BSM award on the Pato (Argentina's national sport) finals last november (and it was pretty official, even though we don't know a lot about the sport).

So, the newest project is to self publish a book that tells the story of small football teams from all over the world that had a second of glory. Or something curious about them. Or something. 50 stories in total. And we got the phone number of this journalist, called him and he said that he likes the idea and will be happy to write a few words for the book, as introduction. So, it's taking shape! With some luck, on March we should have the book in our hands.

It could be a good idea for you people to add me to gtalk. While at work, I'm always online there, so it's the only place where I can actually be easily reached in my online life. So, add me: promocion@granicaeditor.com

Tomas Tranströmer won the Nobel. I imagine the runner up was Robert Gobot.

From the mouth of the beast himself! (well, or from the mouth of the bass player).

I just got confirmation from Jay Bentley himself via twitter (pretty nice of him to answer my tweet, I have to say) that Bad Religion will be playing in Argentina again this year!

"this commemorative volume is a true celebration of a modern masterpiece by the one, the only, Neal Gaiman"

Taken from the Amazon website. He's so one and only that they misspelled his name :P

And Gaiman's tweeter reaction:

"Amazon describes me as 'the one, the only...' then they spell my name wrong. I don't know why that makes me so happy."

Oh, yes, something else I almost forget: real life letters. I haven't received any in a while and haven't sent any either. While moving I found something that I'd been saving to send some of yous: tickets from the first ever Antes Bien gig. So, I think it's time to correct this. Who wants some and promise to send letters in return? Money is a little tight right now (I'm paying twice as much in rent, Internet and services than I was just a month ago), but I can send a couple letters a month, I'm pretty sure. So, who's in?

And what happened with those cards around the world?

I'm alive! :D

I'm pretty much moved now. Most of the new furniture I bought arrived. I still have to unpack lots of books and buy more bookcases. The kitchen water system needs some repair (which should be started tomorrow and hopefully ended a couple days into next week) and so does the main room's floor (which should be done... next week? The week after it? Not a lot more than that). All that paid by the owner, of course :P

It's a pretty big place for just me, so I'm pretty comfortable. And yous all have a place to crash if wanted.

Anyway, I have Internet and cable at home right now, but I'll have to change ISP at some point in the next couple weeks, so I'll surely be internetless again for a while. After that, I'll hopefully be back.

Anyway, c'ya in the pit!

PD: Today, Jane's Addiction for free! Woot! (Hopefully, too :P I still don't have the tickets, but should have them in a couple hours).

I'm moving tomorrow. After that, I probably won't have Internet for a couple weeks. And then I should be back.
See yous then!

And this is why Belgian tennis players are likable:
