Bueno, la semana pasada me invitaron a una reunion de los miembros del Americas Project en Houston, Texas (organizado por el James Baker Institute de la Universidad de Rice y la OEA) y como tramitan tanto para darte la visa, decidi aprovechar el costo hundido y viaje una semana antes para conocer Nueva York. Sobrevole Manhattan y la Estatua de la Libertad en helicoptero, subi el Empire State, visite Times Square, fui a escuchar Jazz en vivo en el Lincoln centre frente a Central park, comi hot-dogs en las esquinas, camine el puente de Brooklyn, fui al MOMA, al Guggenheim, Harlem, etc. Abajo hay algunas fotos y un link a un album con mas fotos aun.

Now In english: last week I attended a meeting from the Americas Project in Houston, Texas (organised by the James Baker Institute at Rice University and the OAS), and after all the sunk cost to get the visa, I decided to travel early and spend a week in New York. I flew over Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty on helicopter, went to the top of the Empire State, visited Times Square, went to listen live Jazz at the Lincoln centre in fron of Central Park, ate hot-dogs in the corner trolleys, walked the Brooklyn bridge, went to MOMA, Guggenheim, Harlem, etc. below there are some pictures and a link to an album with even more pictures…

Across The Universe – Movie Trailer

Alvaro Herrera — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 23:56:35 +0000

Hi, not that I’m becoming a promoter of other people’s work, but I found out about this movie and wanted to share it with you, in case you like the Beatles. If you don’t, you should see a doctor…

The movie is called “Across the Universe” and it is narrated not through dialogue, but the fab four’s songs.
After watching it, McCartney gave his blessings and said it was quite good actually. Yeah, I know, he’s also collecting a paycheck for property rights, and the man also thought Heather Mills was good but, when it comes to pop art in Macca we trust. Anyway, there’s the trailer, and below some links.

Ahora, en espaniol!

Julie Taymor (Titus, Frida) estrena este mes una pelicula sobre amor/protestas anti-vietnam/psychodelia/all you need is love and all that jazz donde la historia es contada no a traves de dialogo, sino mediante canciones de los Beatles.

Que? que no te gustan los Beatles? Entonces, pobre imberbe, sigue escuchando tu reggaeton, o X-factor music y busca en google los terminos “banda que revoluciono la musica popular del siglo XX” a ver que te aparece; escucha la que musica que te indica el buen amigo google y anda a ver la pelicula.

Y bueno, McCartney ya la vio y la encontro buena. Sabemos que tambien encontro buena a Heather Mills y se equivoco, pero al menos en temas artisticos, algo le pega el amigo. aca van unos trailer y links…

El UdderBelly, una vaca gigante en cuya barriga se presentaron obras de teatro, comedia, live bands, etc. y un pequenio concierto en los jardines del Royal Pavillion

Y bueno, en el dia de la paz habia una banda que tocaba musica gitana al estilo Goran Bregovic, el que le hace la musica a las peliculas de Kusturica (Underground? Giosy Time?). …bueno, tocaban musica hasta que los musicos se emborracharon…
