Are There Gloryholes In Jacksonville Florida

A free walking up

A couple of posts ago, when he announced for the umpteenth time to return to the activity of this reporter (notice that later proved to be not serious, as usual), I told them that was organized in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires something as the First Progress of chorister who have news for these payments.

The thing is more or less like this: anyone who has read with some curiosity the summer billboard programmed by the government of this city, in the sphere of almost unbearable campaign a + BA ", you will notice with disappointment that the activity coral ... had been forgotten again. Of the more than 100 musical numbers programmed only one involved a chorus, the / the Choir of the Americas led by Damien Sanchez. At least, snapped out of being called to Kennedy. But not by much.

The issue was that some directors, beginning with the M ° Javier Zentner, launched an initiative to make the huge coral community porteña longer be ignored by the authorities. And intended to do a "march coral", which was originally raised by mid-December last year but was postponed after several excuses, some fairly consistent, others less so.

The date of the march was scheduled, then, for this month, but not too clearly. The latest information I received, back in January, spoke of " later than the second Monday in April (April 10, 2007) ", being that today is Monday 9. After that, I received no more news. Let's assume it was today. The already mentioned
Zentner and M ° Marcelo Silberleib got to the head of the organization of the march, asking for suggestions operational and / or formal about it, for example, if it was going to sing or not, what code , etc.
In parallel, seeking support worked coral community, because of course, nobody is going to organize a march that has little or no support. And without doubt the most anticipated support was to ADICORA City of Buenos Aires branch, which just recently renewed its authorities.

For no more laps, just yesterday I received, like many others, the following mail from FCBA ADICORA:
"Dear coral community: the new Federal Capital Commission ADICORA (FCBA) took on Sunday 25 March:
President: Diego Boero
Secretary: Miranda Analía
Treasurer: Kankyo Kozameh
Members: Irene Mancuso
Nocito and Maximilian Vocal Alternate: Eduardo Ferraudi
accounts Reviewer: Daniel Gonzalez
The assembly began discussing whether FCBA was ADICORA support to the march of the choral movement of Buenos Aires to the City officials asking for more space and budget for this activity in the Department of Music City. After deliberation, the vote marked that such support should not be given at this time. "
not ask me why. The information regarding the event will end there.

one wonders, would it not have been healthier than the entity gathers the most prominent directors of the country gave a detailed explanation about the reason for not supporting this march?
I can think of several scenarios that do not know if it's worth listing here. But the trouble is that none of these hypothesis leads me to imagine positive scenarios for the future of music coral that is often mentioned as "the cultural capital of Latin America."
course, then I say I'm a Malpensa.
Another question: was not until yesterday, supposedly 24 hours before the march, to communicate whether or not to support it? And incidentally, if that support is not going to give "at the moment," when they were going to give?

For all this, this scribe was waiting all this time if the progress is confirmed or not, whether there was support from the Association of Directors and / or other entities interested corals jurisdiction, if the repertoire of songs sent to interpret ... I expected to wait that his date, and progress or news.

Let's be clear: since as a manifestation of this sort would have counted on my support if it's for and regardless of who organize. Not fully share the ideas or Zentner or ADICORA, but in a situation like this, the situation warranted that the entire area of \u200b\u200bBuenos Aires coral join towards a just cause. No, it seems (I repeat, it seems) that among those who are dedicated to choral music, each is trying to bring water to his mill. And so we go, and so we will keep going.

All I ask is that a good time, stop breaking the illusions with petty political reasons. I refer not only to City Government.

Any new, I notice,

How Long Is A Inches Toilet Paper Roll

The source of joy

my friend's comment the island in the previous post is explained, is not going to believe. At least part of it, because coming from the island, we can not go asking for a conceptual precision and clarity of ideas too. And least of all, after the event itself, which affected us all in greater or lesser extent, they do not go around lying.

To put aside the run, the question was that on Saturday ultimo. Corollaries was meeting, for which no warned here on the blog and that was developed in less than 48 hours, via text messages, chat sessions and / or other notable technological advances expediency.
In fact, it was the first meeting of this kind that occurred in 2007. There were several, but this was the most popular.

The appointment was in a drunken academy located at Carlos Calvo and Joseph Marble, in the Buenos Aires district of Boedo, famous for having over 300 varieties of beer, craft and industry, rolls, canned or bottled, blonde, black, brown, red, half and half, sour, honey, cherry, domestic, imported, home ... well i think that is enough to explain the title of the post.

Who was? In addition to the writer, did more than an appearance on Maestro. Marcelo Bruzzo, the Countess with new boyfriend (pídanselas explanations to it), the aforementioned island, Lorraine (an old mutual friend) and Aunt Conis, whose last name because he always comes to dessert.

Needless to say that consumption of alcohol must have broken records at least American, because some of the attendees also foolishly ask about Macabre Dutch cans of an alcoholic strength climbed to 11.6% (normal for a beer of about 4%). You do the calculations, and imagine the results. I will not give names, but there were those who had to be removed almost on a stretcher. Pathetic, no doubt.
Well, I must say that the meeting was quite fun. No wonder.
only regret is not having led a miserable camera.

And yes, you will surely be repeated. I wonder if in the same place, because I can assure you that after one such meeting is to request an advance of the bonus, but does not fit doubt that all attendees we were eager to continue to dig ... I say, enjoying a good time shared with friends.
I'll have to both, and who wish to attend future meetings are corollaries ask you to inform me your MSN and / or number of cellular, I tell you that things are organized in one day to another, sometimes within hours.

Of course, not come at all fasting.
The hope

Johann
