Well today just flew by. Tomorrow I will attend some of the Diaspora investment conference sessions, and then the week will already be halfway over.

The weekend was a long packed adventure. Friday night we had a work function, then a bite, then went to Fiesta Latina at Cheers. This was a party that Carlos (remember the Mexican-Armenian I wrote about last year?) helped organized for their little club of a dozen folks from Latin America here. A great crowd and music and everything. Just too much smoke!

Saturday and Sunday were intermitantly spent at the Kenats Festival, taking naps, seeing a Swiss movie with a gay theme, and eating out.

Regarding the gay Swiss movie, the British Council also chose a gay themed play a couple of months back, both of them knowing local attitudes about homosexuality. I think they are just trying to shock locals and be in your face on this topic (this is simply an observation, not a judgement), I assume they feel this is the way to get homosexuality acceptance here. I dunno. In any case, in both cases, but more so the Swiss film, it was rather graphic, and of course a chunk of the audience left. I wonder if they asked for refunds? I suspect much of the audience would react the same in the US. In fact, I could not even begin to imagine this movie shown in the US with its plentiful full frontal male nudity.
