Perspective » Virus at the Movies

The virus is going to get you !!!! Run !!!! Hide !!!! The world as we know it (and humanity) will end !!!!

Ever wonder about hysteria and its causes? Ever wonder how a flu virus with little more to distinguish it than a name and a popularly prejudiced “source” could be turned into an Apocalyptic monster destroying billions of dollars in income?

Perhaps these movies will refresh your memory:

LOW SEASON BARGAIN OF THE WEEK: I know Cafe Roma is an advertiser here but I would post this special of his even if he had a contract out on me. For the rest of the low season (or until he can’t take it anymore): 5 peso beer (regular size Corona y Pacifico) and 5 peso tequila shots, in any quantity for two people with the purchase of any 4 ingredient pizza (at the normal price of 109 pesos). No catches. No bull. Just order a pizza and start partying. This is a real deal, assuming, of course, that you like pizza, beer and/or tequila.

AND: Super Boy is at the Circus at the Fluvial and the Airport Road for this week for only 30 pesos, or so I’ve heard from a roving car announcement. How can you beat that?

BINGO on the River » 6 pm Thursdays

Dale, from Diva’s Bar, and Pete from La Huerta Restaurant are hosting Bingo games every Thursday evening at 6 pm on Thursdays through at least mid-June. Doors open at 5 pm.

La Huerta

Gringos and Nationals (both gay, straight and other) are invited to come and play. Even aged bingo junkies are welcome. The Bingo games ( 8 ) are free (one free card per person) with 50 peso value prizes to the winner of each game. Bar profits will fund the prizes. If you’re feeling lucky, extra cards may be bought for 10 pesos each.

  • 15 peso Corona or Pacifico
  • 20 peso well drinks
  • 15 peso shots of house Tequila
  • Mexican menu from the kitchen plus hot dogs and hamburgers.

This is not regular bingo. If you’ve never been to La Huerta, you know what a beautiful setting it is. If you’ve been there already, you will appreciate even more the concept of gay/straight, gringo/National, no buy-in bingo games to enjoy with your drinks.

  • easily accessible by bus, taxi or car.
  • Free parking on the premises.

La Huerta Restaurant is easy to find in Colonia Paso Ancho. It is on the R-04 Paso Ancho bus line. The buses run every day until 11 pm at night from approximately the Sheraton in the Hotel Zone, through town, and out Cardenas Street to Paso Ancho.
