Water films and techno mexican band music?!?!?!

I have not gone out in quite a while, I have been so caught up with work and school that I haven't even gone to catch a movie. NOTHING. So as my little friend Diana decided to invite me to the opening gala of the HOLA MEXICAN FILM FESTIVAL I decided I would join her since I needed to get out. (This is not a review as to whether or not you should watch, everyone should go and make their own opinion but I will tell you mine.)

Anyhow the festival consisted of 10 short films. Some were pretty amazing for how short they were but some were creepy, odd and scary. For example one of the films was these 3 people 2 guys and 1 girls. The whole complex had an intercom and a women kept speaking over it about how no one should go out in the sunlight because of the contagious disease, so these 3, not together, but seperately, would go out in the daylight in black suits and stay in the shade and if they hit sun they would run through it not letting their skin hit it. Anyhow at one point they all decide to let the sun hit their skin where they get loopy but happy. Somehow they all end up at the beach and both guys want the girl, she gets naked and runs into the ocean so they both get naked and run into the ocean. THE END.... what in the world. I don't get the point of it, nope not me. Wait but what would the point of that be? Lets get naked when in doubt of a disease? RIDICULOUS, but oh well, I guess that is the creative side of these film makers. I guess I can't blame them either since they only had 24 hours to make these short films.
Some were hilarious, like the one were this girl goes to playa del carmen all by herself since no one will go with her. She somehow loses her glasses and everything is a blur to her. She ends up going to get a bite to eat, where this guy knows her and strikes up a conversation she pretends to know him because she can't really tell what he looks like since she doesn't have her glasses, she ends up going on a date with him and when she wakes up in the morning she gets a delivery. The glasses have come in the mail, she puts them on and realizes its some guy she knew years ago in which she is diguested with and tells him to get out. She later goes to have dinner and is cleaning her glasses when all of sudden another guy comes up to her and he sounds interesting so instead of putting her glasses back on she puts them away to make things a bit more interesting for herself. Anyhow this one is really funny.

After the short films they were having free food and beverages with a band at green dolphin. First the process was a bit ridiculous to get in. We had these obnoxious blue flashing bracelets that we had to wear in order to get in for free, but we went to the main door and this lady got all crazy with the guy in front saying she didn't care whether they had a bracelet or not he had to pay $10 bucks. I started flashing the bracelet more to kind of get it across her head that the bracelet was gonna flash and I wasn't going to pay, we finally got in through the side door, super shady..ha
WOW, when they said free food I thought they meant free appetizers, no, not this film maker he went all out and had chipotle burritos in boxes for the masses. I wasn't sure whether to feel like a person who stands in line at a food pantry for some food, or whether to think does this guy know that chipotle is not "really" mexican food? Either way I love me some chipotle so I took my chicken burrito and ate on the dance floor, which was also a little awkard considering the band came on and people were dancing, while my rice from my burrito kept making to the floor. Diana and I ate the burrito not all of it, but we couldn't believe we were eating burritos at a night club.

And yes it gets better, as we ate our burritos, we thought the band from san diego would be a spanish rock band. But to our amazing surprise it was a band with the full on cowboy boots and hats, but with black sharp suits. But this "Mexican band" had a twist of course, because the whole night was full of interesting disaters. The Mexican band had a real guy playing the acordian, however they mixed all the music with techno beats, not sure what genre this falls into, but those beats got me all confused. Was I supposed to do my "fist pump", or should I dance with my flashing bracelet as if it were a glow stick, or am I supposed to dance like the regular mexican banda bands dance? So D and I decided to mimic others. We had a blast, we thought we could incorporate everyones dance moves, but it was too wild for one combined move. We had head bangers, in their artsy clothes, other dancing like the "normal" mexican music should be, some having a mosh pit, I guess this is a great way to combine everyones style or really offend true music lovers.

Shortly after they opened the back room, which had hip hop music and no Latinos, we decided to run back their in order to save the little musical appetite that we had left. As we rushed back their, to our surprise, the people in that back room were astonished, they slowly got up from their tables and walked toward the room with the band. Their mouths were opened as if they were in the zoo and had never seen such behavior. I heard a girl say "wow they have a band and everything, I have never seen anything like this." I told her we are running away from this and you should too, she said "but I can't believe it, I have never seen something like this." It seems as though they were under a spell slowly walking toward the band..haha It was pretty hilarious.

Then we decided to meet a friend at Vain, where it was the complete opposite. People were not dancing they were sitting as if though they were so bored. But why, I say, why? The music was better, the crowd was supposed to like it. But why did I ask that question, shortly after it became scandalous. It was as if I was the zoombie amazed by what the zoo animals were doing. Short skin tight dresses, slowly moving up as they bend over and rub all over their partner. Ha I had to get out of here. As poor little D was uncomfortable because of some party she had hosted for her work there. It was a zoo of events last night.  To top it off we are driving home and these guys roll their windows down trying to drive with us to say something. I tell D that she should also roll her window down so that way we can just get it over with. We rolled the window down I waved at the boys and they were surprised I think they were expecting that response. But at this point I didn't care things couldn't get crazier than what we had seen. It was hilarious.

So the lesson here is this is what happens when you do not go out in a long time, every crazy thing happens in one night. BEWARE for the zoo in your neighborhood!

Boy oh Boy how time flys!!!!

I remember just 2 months ago when I was keeping up with this blogging session :) There is so much I have been wanting to write, some funny things but can't think of any now probably because they were all in my short term memory.

However school is almost done 2 finals next week and I am free for about 3 weeks. Its been a bit brutal people I am not going to lie! So as of now I am trying to get into an EMT class for the summer, perhaps I will be saving lives soon :) ha maybe. I have planned a few trips this summer, since I have been hard at work and no time for play. I am going to sliver lakes in Michigan for some camping fun. I will be going to Key west in August for some fun in the sun or as I would say too much heat for this girl. Finally I will hopefully be going to Peru in November, not too shabby for this traveling addict :) Perhaps I can do a bit more research and figure out the hike on machi pichu...

So I have started this medical security job third shift. I thought I would be dying in the morning when I get off at 6:30am but not so shabby folks. Its actually quite peaceful and relaxing.

I feel like I am blabbling on right now, I guess I have nothing to say perhaps because its late. Till next time!
