tonight i was supposed to meet with a few buck-tick fans in mexico city. we were going to have a little meetup but i guess it was too cold for mexicans, (the weather recently turned quite cold and we weren't prepared for it), because only the main girl i coordinated this with showed up. there were supposed to be 3-4 others but they were no show/no call. that's ok. the two of us each brought one friend and we spoke spanglish with 1 or 2 sentences in japanese. since we were close to the zocalo, we decided to walk over there. as we walked over there, it became a trip of nostalgia as memories of my trip to DF a decade ago began to surface, especially when we walked past a hotel we stayed at last time. the national palace was still decorated for independence day (september 16) so it looked nice with lights of the colors of the flag. we could see that they were already setting up the plaza for el dia de los muertos.
