Maybe now it's clear why I moved here, yes?
These fuckers know how to party. Krito and I share the same birthday and she had recently moved to Buenos Aires also. So we decided it would be fun to throw a party together. We each invited a bunch of people we knew and fuckin a it was incredible. As you can clearly see by the photos.
In all we had people from eight different countries in attendance. Loads of Argentinians, of course, Krito, and a few others from Colombia, Paprika and her boyfriend from Uruguay, Liu's boyfriend and his friend from England, some of Krito's co workers from Peru, Spica from Brazil, and Talena and others from Chile. And me from the States. It was like a freakin United Nations party. It was a great way to be welcomed to my new home.
It is very difficult to rehash old memories of what were once cherished moments when someone claims that they will love you forever when you already know they've broken their word and moved on. They simply lose their sentimental value and only act as a reminder to the heartbreak. If I'm making a clean break from my past I have to have the strength to let these things go.
Well, I did what I think needed to be done. I dumped the entire box in the trash. I went through and pulled out the photos, but everything else went, unopened, unread. Some doors are better left closed.
These are some of the earliest magazine spreads of Dita, before she truly became the icon she is today. Her image wasn't fully realized yet and they capture a true star in the making.

Things are mostly set up for my arrival. My good friend Prussia has invited me to stay with her. She has an amazing 3 bedroom house and she's letting me use the guest room for my first 2 months. This is good for both of us because for two weeks of that time she's going to be in Miami with her boyfriend, so I'm going to look after her pets and plants. And it gives me time to sort out things with immigration.
I leave the States on February 8th and arrive the next day on my birthday. I think this is the best gift I will ever receive in my life. And even better is I'm co-hosting a party the next night with SG Krito with whom I share the same birthday. I rented a cool location for a few days where we are going to have the party and then I'm going to also host the first brunch for Yanqui Tom's and also a Valentine's Dinner. It's not the place I had originally had in mind, but I made sure that we'd have a pool to go swimming. I'm used to shoveling the walk on my birthday, so it'll be really nice to be sitting around in shorts instead.



The kitchen is nice and leads to a big balcony.

And the pool is on the roof of the building.

Not huge, but it'll do.
I plan on making some food for the party.
Brushetta with Tomato, Fresh Mozzarella, and Basil
Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
2 types of Foccocia one stuffed with Tomato, Onion, Provalone, and Lettuce. And the other with Ham and Provolone
Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Eggplant Rolentine with Ricotta, Roasted Red Peppers, and Basil
And Krito is bringing the cake!
I'll be bringing some of our American candies with me. They really went over well the last time I brought them.

I woke up to 5 empty bowls.
In April I'll be getting a place for 3 months where I can host dinner parties for the Puerta Cerrada, but part of my concept is that it won't always be in the same place, So for the winter months of July and August (yes, it feels funny saying that) I found an absolutely beautiful apartment with a fireplace. I'm still in the process of reserving it, but hopefully there aren't any issues.
Check it out.



It's a little expensive, but if the restaurant is bringing in enough customers by then it'll pay for itself in one week. I hope.
The sales of nearly everything I own have been going well. I do still have to sell my car, some of my electronic music equipment, and some of my kitchen appliances. But at this point I already have enough money to leave, so anything else that sells is just gravy.
I am just counting down the days now.
And some shirts.
I had chef coats made.
And this is the location I'll be hosting my first brunch/pool party.
And this is some of what I'll be serving.
If you're in Buenos Aires on February 12th stop by and have something to eat!
What's strange is I didn't realize how many collections of things I have. Now that I am moving and am selling nearly everything I own it's rather bizarre to me I'm finding it hard to let go many things that sat in dark corners or in the back of my closet collecting dust for years.
Most of my vinyl records have been sold. Through the years I've had about 2500 records. More recently about 400 or so. The bulk of my collection was mainly techno and most of those went very quickly to local buyers. I had also amassed a huge collection of old school hardcore. I bought these records when they first came out and have owned many of them for more than 20 years. I had a cool collection of 80s / New Wave music that was the precursor to much of the electronic music we listen to today. And I had nearly every classic album from the 60s and 70s you can imagine.
But aside from those things I have a huge Hot Wheels and Matchbox collection of classic hot rods and lowrider cars. How this came about is rather funny. Each time I would wander through Target or a supermarket I would stop off in the toy section. I would look through the cars and since they usually cost about $4 a piece or so I'd grab one and throw it in my basket. Without realizing it over the years I now have about 50 cars.
When I first started to work for the railroad I thought it might be fun to build an HO scale home layout. Why would I want to take my work home with me I don't know, but I guess once I was there long enough I changed my mind. But during those first few years I bought 11 engines and enough cars to make 3 complete, very long trains. Now mind you, I never did buy any tracks so none of this stuff has ever been used, but I have now owned them for over 15 years.
John Held Jr. is one of my favorite artists. He lived during the Roaring 20s and drew flappers for Life magazine, among many other things. He also wrote books (I own quite a few) and all sorts of merchandise with his images were made. I own many of these items.
And then there's my DJ and music equipment. I feel I can part with a lot of it, but I'm going to take a huge loss. It's just how it goes. The stuff I kind of need to take with me is bulky and heavy. And very expensive to replace in Argentina. I have to strongly consider the best way to get it down there. Sending it ahead to a friend by mail is very risky. The Argentine postal service is known to "lose" expensive electronics, not to mention the incredibly high shipping costs. Bringing it with me will require paying for extra checked bags and I already have to bring my cooking utensils for work and my clothes. I'm looking at about a minimum of 4-5 suitcases.
And some of my most prized possessions are my paintings. All of which are rather big and not shipping or flying friendly. I'm slightly determined to bring them with me, but I don't know how. I suspect I'll find a way, hopefully.
And then there's just the other general stuff to get rid of such as appliances, furniture, bed, TV, VCR, DVD, air conditioners, fans, refrigerator, desks, chairs, shelves, my bike, and my car. Good thing I have two months to do this all still.
But it is heartbreaking in a way to get rid of all these things. In some ways they have become a part of me and in other ways they weigh me down. While I am choosing to sell these items and move my life in a different direction, it makes me wonder what it must be like for someone who has experienced a house fire and lost everything. What do you really need in this world to survive? Currently for me to stay sane I need to be able to DJ and make music. To do that I need a laptop, my midi controllers, an amp and some speakers. That is it. To cook I need my pots and pans, my knives and utensils. That's it. So this move, for better or worse is making me what I've wanted to become all along, a minimalist.
Had listed these old hardcore records last week and some of them moved quickly. I would like to get rid of the rest soon. So, if you are interested in any of these records I'm willing to listen to offers.

One week from today they all go on eBay. They are priced to go quickly here. Most of them are worth far more than what I am asking.
