Wally's

Sometimes it's hard to explain why this city is good and interesting. I just got out of this place called Wally's Jazz Cafe and it made me think again about the pros and cons of this city. The weather now is pretty good so that is no longer an against. Wally's on the other hand is a pro. It's located about 2 blocks from the university and this was my first time there. The band was made of kids probably from the Berklee school of music and they sounded great. The sense us that you are hearing the future of jazz and I have to confess I liked it a lot. Why don't others like it? This city is pretty good and the longer I stay the more I think this is re kind of place I'd like to live at some point. The pros outweigh the cons by a big margin. Wally's is just an example.

Fortaleza 4-1 Guarany

My soccer team yesterday won the first of the semifinals against Guarany. The game was away but we managed to win with a 4-1 score. The second game is Sunday. We only need to draw.

Another Check Mate

Yesterday I had a couple of checkmates on chess with friends. Jerry made a mistake and could not recover from it and the other buddy I play also lost I also figured out that he is from the west coast. We exchanged a couple of messages.

Nice change in Boston

Yesterday we had the first real Spring day here. The temperature was about 78F and the city transformed itself. At Kenmore square the restaurants had tables outside, at Harvard square the bars also had people outside. The ice rink in front of the Charles hotel gave place to a bar :) The mood was completely different and the city started to show its true culture.

Fly concert

I just left The Fly concert. It's a trio where two of the guys play with Brad Mehldau. The group is a bit avant-garde and quite different from what they play with Mehldau. I bought the CD there and got them all to sign :) awesome.

Dinner with Jesus

Today I went to have dinner with "jesus". This is the running joke between Sarah and I when I refer to Prof. B. We went, me, him and a candidate to a position in the lab to the kenmore area. Nice place. French restaurant. Sarah might remember tyt area because it had the worst traffic due to some construction; where the barnes and noble is. The dinner was very nice and I had re opportunity to understand the human, mortal side of jesus. Lol. He is a very pleasant guy but very serious about his work. He is social but doesn't forget to talk about his work. The area of the restaurant was very busy due to a red socks match. But I think that area seems to be good all the time. I have to convince Sarah to come here for a few days.
