Apartment Quite Acceptable, Av. Belgrano, Buenos Aires.
A grey day in Buenos Aires.
After breakfasting of the light variety, computers come out in the sitting & dining areas for wifi. An eruptile e-flurrying.

Biff has acquired a Security jacket…
… from a nearby security-type-items shop, on the other side of the police station. Knuckle-dusters with nasty brass spikes on them were also available; these Biff left behind. Hernan explains that, around the one-block police station, several security-shops owned by former policemen now cater for security-provider firms. A license to buy a gun is conveniently obtained from the nearby police station.
Biff settled for this impressive jacket, which frightens me enough without additional weaponry. I now feel secure.

An hour in TNT programming & testing Soundscapes…
This is the US Solar Voyager. Its programmes are not as refined as the English SV, which has travelled to English churches & cathedrals, Estonian churches & Italy with The LCG.
The LCG featuring Kabusacki are being viddied & interviewed I…

There are now 4 people committed to tithing.

17.40 Since arriving here, I have been in considerable distress, feeling not connected to my centre. After sitting this afternoon, I am now a much happier boy. Life really isn’t when we’re not either.
Now, lobby call for our final run-through before switching to active performance-mode.

A performance for a small audience. Happy guest-audient …
An honourable set. Eye of the Needle opened the door, but we weren’t able to keep it open.
Some more fine-tuning of programmes. The straplock disassembled itself & el crumpo! as guitar hit the floor.
In the studio control room, classic machines of the analogue variety remain I…

21.55 At supper Hernan told stories of dealing with promoters in Argentina, responding to Martin asking why didn’t we play this town…? Because the money didn’t arrive at the promised time.
Hernan has now left for an interview. The ‘phone interview calling at 21.00 didn’t.
Practising.
