What a lovely Saturday it was. The 2008 Buenos Aires International Jazz Festival on the rooftop terrace of the Recoleta Cultural Center was quite a treat. There's not much we like more than free live music outdoors. The turnout was amazing and when seats ran out there were tons of people standing up in the back or just sitting on the ground. This picture is of Roxana Amed, a very important figure on the Argentina jazz scene. She opened her set with a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace.
We had a nice dinner in the Unicorn Room at the Faena Hotel -- where we saw Julia Stiles hanging out. Wonder if she's filming a movie here? In any case, after dinner Don finally got what he had been waiting for...a trip to the floating casino in Puerto Madero. As luck would have it, we won big! We had a lot of fun and walked away with a big stack of pesos.

When are those Argentinians going to learn that they can't outthink or outgamble Don "Weasy" Jones? The boy is a mathematical genius. Don't they know that Don Jones is secretly the second cousin of Don King. Yeah, that Don King. Everytime I shake Don's hand, I feel like he''s pumping money out of my satchel. I wouldn't let him in my casino. If i did, I would be out of business inside of two days.
We love you Weasy and Marie
Chip. I know that's you! You crazy. I hope that BA learns about me 1 day after we roll out... :)
