Caifanes & Board Gaming

This is almost 2 weeks late, and it's only my second post, good start.

Caifanes

So I went to see Caifanes on the 20th of October. I used to listen to them a lot when I was in secundaria, and I still heard some of their songs here and there, so I figured, what the hell, let's go.

The organizers or the venue or whoever did a terrible job. The concert started at 9, we got there at 8. Not that early, but definitely with some time to find a not so horrible seat. We stood in a line of several hundred people that are getting into the stadium one at a time. The line went around half the stadium. 8:30, still veeery far to the entrance. 9:00, still can't see the entrance. 9:15, we hear people inside the stadium yell. Yes, Caifanes just walked into the stage, and we are still not close to the entrance. "Viento" starts playing. I was very pissed. It was at this exact moment that the line started to advance faster. We missed two whole songs.

Overall it was a pretty good show. I realized then that I really don't know a lot of Caifanes songs. I knew like half of the ones they played. I didn't take pictures cause I was very far. They played for a little over 2 hours, which is pretty good. No opening bands.

Board gaming

Then I went to a board gaming meetup the next day. I love me some board games! It was at a house. The owner had hundreds of games!!! About half of them still in shrink wrap, the madness!!! We played a couple of new games (Kingsburg and Yggdrasil), both pretty cool games.

And then went back to Mari's to play some Harry Potter deck builder.

Good weekend overall.

See you next week.

Sounds like a fun weekend! I've never seen Jaguares or Caifanes. And I want to. Sucks that you missed the songs due to their incompetence, that would have pissed me off too! And board games ftw!
