Today we decided to see a play. John Malkovich was directing a show called El Buen Canario (The Good Canary) at the Insurgentes Theater. It was written by American, Zach Helm and has gained notariety in Paris. Unfortunately, Ticketmaster rules in Mexico as well, but we bought tickets through them anyway. Cha-ching! We scored 2nd row seats just hours before the show. And we headed off in a cab to the theater.
1st celeb citing in Mexico....Malkovitch. Believe it or not we had better seats than he did. He was sitting in the row behind us, but on the opposite side. The first 4 rows of the theater had comfy couch-like seats with a small table for drinks. Boy, do the Mexicans know how to do comfy culture, or what?!?
Afterwards we stumbled into "Ra", a BINGO parlor. It was like a bizarro Vegas scene. One of the workers gave me a $100 credit for a machine. Once I lost it, I was hooked and we stayed for 2 hrs or until we lost a chunk of change. A plus was that they served free drinks...oh...until we decided to leave and the waitress chased after us to pay the bill.
All the gambling made us hungry and we headed to an Argentinian Restaurant called Cambalache. To date, it's our fave meal so far. We ordered the house specialty beef cut for 2. It was cooked to perfection! As we rolled ourselves into the cab, we ended up having a hilarious cab driver. He was a cross b/w Paul and Slowpoke Rodriguez. Quote of the night (cabbie to Luc): "if you eat black beans & mole your hair will turn black like a real Mexican...so eat!"
A great night indeed!
