You meet interesting people in Bars

I know your parents tell you don't spend a lot of time in bars you will only get in trouble etc. Well that is partially true but not always. On my recent road trip we spent a little bit of time in bars (your surprised I am sure) and we met some interesting folks.

One of the neat folks we met was at the hotel bar in the Clarion in Tegucigalpa. The mans name was Checo and his neat bar trick was to make a profile of a person out of black construction paper(kinda a mug shot turn to the left thing).

Well this guy Checo who kind of resembles your stereotypical central American lounge lizard approaches me in the hotel bar while me and my buddy Sashi (DW for Double Whiskey) Mioshi and I were sampling a little bit of Johnny Walker.

He is holding a big pair of scissors so I am immediately paying attention. Then he says just look straight ahead for a second. Again I am concerned but start to figure out he is up to some bar trick. I hope the trick is not to stick me in the jugular and I continue to stare forward for about a minute while unbeknownst to me the man freehand cuts on construction paper my silhouette and pastes it onto a piece of copy paper. As you can see he was somehow able to capture my hmm... how should I put this "distinctive" profile.

Everyone was impressed and we tipped him a few dollars and he continued to do Zach and Sashis too. Pretty good time and now from the bar at the clarion to my fridge at home his art hangs in perpetuity.
