Hey party peoplez, I just watched The Fountain, a trippy movie about the circle of life including christian, buddhist and Mayan religions, with Ferro, Puly and Guillermo Muñoz (my cousin, but not really). What's sweet is that the movie centers around Guatemala and as Guillermo put it...it's symbolic.
Afterwards at midnight we head over to the taco stand on the corner of a 24hr minimart. Btw, the minimarts here have like a walk-through window at night. As I'm buying a juice, two huge trucks pull up and out come four armed men. Ferro almost sh#ts his pants as he's waiting for his tacos talking to Puly. Well it turns out that these are the bodyguards of the President of Guatemala's son, Antonio Colom Szarata. It also turns out that he's pretty famous because he plays bass in a band, Viento en Contra. He still keeps it real by getting ishfaced at local bars and calming the munchies at streetside taco stands. But dang, those bodyguards really made me paranoid something was going to go down cuz of the way they kept looking around.
Btw, last night after going to a Euro cine festival where we saw the Spanish/Catalan movie Salvador Puig, we went over to 100 puertas bar. Hanging out there was also a famous bohemian cartoonist Telcoco. Guatemala is a small place.
