Here in Buenos Aires we have just been finding out some information about the earthquake across the border in Chile. Some of the actors have colleagues and friends in Santiago and we are waiting for news.
On Google Earth already there are postings going up about specific sites and areas where the events are unfolding. Here is a screen grab of the latest tremor sites.
We had a full run through with Cynthia Fridman who will be recording the voice for the Principal in the New Business Transactions piece. We ran the piece in both Spanish and for the first time in English which was great to hear.
My adventures last night at The River Plate Stadium…X&Y mark the spot… of course!
A story in 4 pictures –
A quick lunch break as we have just finished working on the second piece, the ‘Che Guevara’ play by Gabriel Fernandez Chapo, only to be faced with a box of ’empanadas’ like mini cornish pasties actually filled with beef or chicken or cheese and ham, and before you ask, it wasn’t me that ate them all. Not today anyway…
Not least as certainly Julian and Celeste had their share too – it may be a slow afternoon now as we can all hardly move If you are interested here is a recipe of how to make your own empanadas that will also stop you working on Friday afternoons too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmpanadaAm trying to go with our AV designer Pato to see if we can crash the River Plate Stadium gig and see if we can get through the maze of ticket sellers and barriers
http://www.coldplay.com/exhib.php?id=101The walk to work is a brisk 40 minutes up the Avenue Cabildo to Nunez or a 3 stop Subte or underground ride. You can get the Subte from Juan Hernandez station and travel to the terminus of the Green line D, or walk. Walking for me is the preferable choice every time. You miss out on so much if you don’t walk in a city.So yesterday it was there and back for me, with a cafe solo from a great coffee shop in hand it was my opportunity to take in the sites and the people and generally get the feel of the neighbourhood. One of the landmarks I have to use is ‘Bingo Belgrano’ to turn right opposite. A clearly memorable landmark
On the way there I was also taken by what is a truncated version of the Chrysler Building in New York and made of large lego pieces that have not withstood the weather very well.
Again landmarks, tastes and flavours of my journey to and from work.
