On Friday, October 16
th I headed over to the Rex to hear Artie Roth and his trio
du jour. I sat at one end of the bar and enjoyed the music and the people-watching. A couple of guys came in and asked me very elegantly if the two chairs
next to me were free. They spoke beautiful Spanish to each other and they both ordered
Creemore. I
immediately thought to myself that I liked these guys! It was pretty easy to strike up a conversation with them. I found out they were from Bolivia, one of them had been working in Toronto for four years and his buddy had just arrived in Toronto about a month ago.
The four year guy was introducing the "new" guy to The Rex, which he agreed is one of the best things about Toronto. The "new" guy was already in agreement that
Creemore is one of the best beers he's ever had in his life.
The four year guy gave me his buddy's number on a yellow
stickie, since he could get his number again. His nickname is
Chelo (his name is Marcelo).
