Bobcats-Nets 11/28/2006




There was one other guy I cared about, actually. I heard the PA guy say "Mikki Moore," and I thought of the Mikki Moore that was a freshman at Nebraska when I was a freshman at Nebraska back in '93-'94. I honestly thought he'd disappeared after college, as, despite being a fan favorite, he didn't seem like NBA material. But it was him. All these years later. On the Nets. In the above shot, Morrison is shooting, and Mikki is behind him, back at the other end of the court, the Nets player furthest to the right. He's got crazy dreads now! He reminds me of Tim, the drummer in my old band. In fact, between the lanky, dreadlocked Mikki and the gangly, shaggy, Apachella-esque Morrison, I felt like I was at a Pac-Men/Charm City Suicides show at Newtown Teen Center. And with Brevin Knight also on Morrison's team, it was like "Guys who Jere liked while they were in college for one of many oddball reasons" night at Continental Airlines Arena...



Several other Sox hats over in Jersey, more of them non-fashion than fashion. When we got back from suburbia, we walked along the underappreciated Forty-First Street, going east. It gives you, we learned, a nice angle on the Ghostbusters Memorial Library, which, we also learned, was just at that moment testing out the lighting of its Christmas tree, which overlooks Bryant Park (where they show movies in the summer and have a skating rink in the winter). That would've been a good picture, as would the Empire State Building in the misty haze, but Jennie's camera had run out of juice.
Jennie left for Australia today. It's always a funny moment when someone is saying goodbye to you for the day, but to the person next to you for a few weeks, as they're headed off to some exotic place: "Bye, Jennie! Have fun! Australia, wow, that's gonna be great! Well, see you in three weeks! Safe flight! Bye-eee!....Ahem. Well. Bye, Jere. See you tomorrow..."

Enjoyed the Nets shots, Jere.
This message has nothing to do with the Nets or anything else. It's a personal message to AJM who is looking for restaurants in BA. First, there were no bad restaurants that we found. The best one--the name escapes me--was on the river and they're known for bringing you food from the time you sit down until you leave--food you didn't order! It's extra food. (Try the concierge.)
I'm sure you know that people don't begin dinner before 10PM so if you're looking for something really neat to do beforehand (or whenever) go to Bar Sur. It is a very old, teeny tango bar where one to three couples entertain; it's tango you'll never forget. Also, this hundred year old chanteuse sings and a two hundred year old piano player plays and they are equally unforgettable.
Finally, as rediculous as this sounds, go to the Claridge Hotel around three or four and have tea in the bar. After you finish one three-tiered plate of food, they bring another. Followed by another with a zillion desserts. (Jere's dad had vodka tonics rather than tea, just so's you know.) Have fun.

ps to AJM:
The NY Times' supplement to the magazine, The Sophisticated Traveler, September 12, 2004, has a huge article on BA and Bar Sur is the cover photo.

JeresMom:
Thank you very much! I think we're signed up somewhere for a tango lesson; maybe we can try it out at Bar Sur. We're trying to finish the remaining details on our itinerary today. We leave Wednesday night, and are in Buenos Aires probably through Sunday. Then we'll go to El Calafate, Patagonia, and Iguazu...and maybe the wine country in Chile. Thank you again.

Okay.
AJM,
The tango at Bar Sur is actually a tango show; the world's smallest show but a great one. You can tango on just about any street corner in BA. The Italian neigborhood called something like Bata, has a list of the disappeared who were taken from that enclave on a beautifully hand-painted sign. You're going to love it all and I'm jealous.
