Not My Typical New York Week

Thursday, November 03, 2005

Today I looked at the social items on my weekly schedule:

Wed. 11/2, 8:30 pm: Los Productores, the Argentina version of Mel Brook's The Producers, starring humorist Enrique Pinti and sit-com star Guillermo Francella (of Casado Con Hijos, the Argentine version of Married With Children. Wow, does this guy go in for covers.) To make a U.S. comparison, think Dave Barry (but older) with John Ritter. ($20 US)

Fri. 11/4, 9:30 pm: A concert by Gilberto Gil, the Brazilian musician who co-invented Tropicalia and is now also his country's Minister of Culture. ($16.75 US)

Sat. 11/5, 4 pm: The Championship Open (Polo) at the weirdly anachronistic Anglo/Argentine Hurlingham Club. Polo? Me?! ($8.30 US)
Silly, wacky things like these remind me of why I moved down here. Would I be doing any of this is New York? Um, NOT.

Hey, I don't care about Polo, but the producers in an argentine version sound good and I'm really jealous that you are going to see the brazilian Minister of culture.....My Samba class starts at 6.30 tonight. Maybe I'll hear him on tape...

Let me know how you liked the concert.
