GuateMeFi

Drinks in the evening in Antigua Guatemala, around Sat May 3rd.

Alright, first-ever mefi meetup in Guatemala as far as I can tell. Since gramcracker is here for a couple more weeks, we agreed to get together Saturday May 3 in lovely Antigua, and we thought "hey, why not post a meetup announcement in the off chance that some other mefite is around?"

If you think you could make it, please let us know!

I spent my 30th birthday in Antigua at Frida's. I hope you guys have a wonderful time.

Ha! And I just spent my 29th at Frida's (and a few other nearby places)... small world I guess. Next time you're around please drop me a line, I'd love to grab coffee or whatever.

Hey, I'm going to be there on the 16th (no firm itinerary yet)...will anyone still be around then?

I highly recommend the bar "No Se" in Antigua. Run by a motley crew of jaded UK/Aussie expats, including NYC EV dropouts, cynical ex-schoolteachers, lotharious, bums and wastrels. Good taste in music and booze: including a secret, after-hours mescal joint. The exact anthithesis to the 'loud gringo shots-for-the-language-students-so-the-locals-can-pickthem-up bar'.

This info accurate circa summer 2006, may have changed.

Bar "No Se", hmm, thanks, I'd actually never heard of it (guess I'm not much of a barhopper), but I'll be sure to pay a visit this Saturday.

And cabingirl, there's also another mefite who's gonna be around near the 16th, maybe we could meet up with her too that weekend. I'll be sending you some mefimail soon..
