mexico, What to do, queretaro, Nightclub
Queretaro's best Jazz club, the "Encrucijada Jazz" is a realy neat place, great musicians, incredible price, amazing ambient, the location, in the street where the acueduct (symbol of the city) is located, and near other nightclubs and bars.
The only "but" of the place is, people, half of the people or more is too noisy, they talk and talk don't leting you listen the music as you want.
Still a great place, the other jazz places I know of Queretaro are more amateur and small cafés.

mexico, Polution, queretaro
This is a factory in front of my work place, they dehidrates vegetables, so they work with food, and they polute like crazy, they are "Deshidratadora La Cascada"
The worst part of that is that the smoke goes directly to my office, exactly to my window and door, so we are breading this every friday, and when we have to leave the office, we ended all cover in smoke, smelling like it and just like we just clean a chimney.
I hope someone do something about it soon, because it also gave me headaches.

Day of the Death, mexico, Holidays, queretaro
The traditional day of the death in Mexico, a day in which we remember the death relatives and friends, and laugh of our own death, we eat candy skulls, and prepare an "altar" to receive the death that come to visit us.
The state government creat an altar dedicated to the independence conspirators of Queretaro, the heroes that planned and impulse the independence war, which ended well for us, the independence started here in Queretaro, and every year in the day of the death there is an altar to a hero, this time was several of them.

I could't see the altar finished, due to work I had to travel.

mexico, queretaro, Football
Long time since my last post about Gallos Blancos, but they are better than ever, and it seems that the corrupt Femexfut has notice the importance of Queretaro as a football city.
It is time to ascend to the premiere mexican league once more, and hopefully stay there. The owners of other team, Necaxa are considering to move the team to Queretaro. But ye already have the Gallos!

Concert, mexico, What to do, queretaro
The most iconic rock band of Mexico, the "TRI" that was born in 1968 is getting 40 years of playing, music that everybody knows, and believe it or not, every single mexican know the lyrics or at least the chorus of the big hits from them.
40 years!
And they are celebrating big way, and on the celebration way Queretaro is located, October 29 and 30th will be the date of the anniversary concert in the football (soccer) stadium "La Corregidora" in which Alex's Lora band "El Tri" will be playing with the state philarmonic orchestra, that is something worht listen, and since this is the kind of person that devotes for the music, I bet the ticket will be at a fair price.

Concert, mexico, What to do, queretaro
As I mentioned before, I went to the concert on October 2nd in the state auditorium in Queretaro, the concert was sold out, so 7,000 people was there with me.
My initial plan was to arrive by cab, but some friends decided to drive there, why I didn't drive myself?... well the auditorium parking lot is big, but has only two entrances, and ot find a parking space, and then at the end to wait in the mess to leave the place, is not my favorite thing.
The logistics to enter was a total caos, the auditorium has like 9 entrances, but the organicers decided to use only two, and one was for men and the other for women, and only a person per time, so each could be checked by the security staff. So it took like an hour to enter the auditorium, making line in the cold (well cool night) was not ideal, since I arrived with some friends, women and men.
The concert, was really good, the croud behave really nice, like in a big party, everybody dancing and chanting, Manu Chao is a real good entertainer, he truly love to sing and be with the people.
Since the place was full it was a great ambient, and I have the chance to find other friends there, or people I knew from other parts. Even the boss of my boss was there.

Concert, mexico, What to do, queretaro
It is becoming hard to keep track of all concerts in Queretaro, also because the "Cervantino" art festival is coming this month, and there are many other concerts and events lately.
I'm arriving from Manu Chao's concert, which was great, the state auditorium "Josefa Ortíz de Dominguez" was full, all the 7,000 seats sold, great ambient.
Well the note I'm posting is about the MTV Bridge which comes to Mexico thanks to the MTV Music Awards Latin America that are taking place in Guadalajara, this are like the third or fourth awards that take place in Mexican soil (from MTV)
In the festival are performing new bands that appear on MTV (mexican version):
- Libra
- Esto es Eso
- LEGO
- Lugo
Also in the rock area, Kinky and Zoe (mexican Rock bands) will perfom in the city "Santa María" Bullring on october the 17th

mexico, Art, What to do, queretaro
The lord of the flies, the novel that shows the evilness of mankind, young kids that found themselves lost and alone in an island, everything started fun but ended ugly with murdered kids by the evil hands of other kids.
This book became a movie in the 80's, a movie I watch on TV when I was like 7 years, or so, I got traumatized, since I rememeber everything in the movie, I started to watch since I believed that it was a fun movie of some kids in an island... I bought the DVD but I'm afraid of watching it.
And now in Queretaro a teather company adpted the book into a play with 9 year old kids playing it... fun.
I totally agree that the story is good, it is so good that I still remember it after watching it once 18 or 19 years ago.
So I think, I must fight my trauma and watch the DVD I bought and go to the teather.
