⊆ July 6th, 2010 by admin | ˜ No Comments »
In June an interview I did with Alvin Adams, host of Rise and Shine, aired on the topic of TELOS. This recording is from my portable recorder without the station’s promos. You can hear the full show by visiting URBANAFM’s download page.
HAVE FUN - I know I did recording it. Thanks Al and everyone at the station. And people - if you have any TELO stories to share do contact me. The project is alive and KICKIN’.

e in Boston I had the great pleasure to meet up with Rocky Abalsamo just a few days after his 94th birthday celebration. I sat and chatted with him outside in a place where he has gone practically every single day for the last 16 years, his wife’s grave at St. James Cemetery in West Roxbury. He knew about me from the mutual friend that brought me (Maureen) and was excited to speak castellano and tell me some stories. He didn’t tell me the one that he is famous for, the one that reporters and writers from all over the world (the United States, China, Poland and more) have featured in magazines and newspapers. He knew I knew that story. Instead he told me some others. It was a but windy and I apologize in advance for the gusts that came across our microphones. Just ignore them and listen to this charming man. And also cut me some slack. Jaaa - I didn’t think I was going to play translator. It is not my forte and he loved switching to castellano ;0)
I had the great pleasure of attending an asado at MIT today with several Argentinos. I brought my recorder along to ask a few questions. The biggest question of the day was “What do you miss about Argentina?” Anyone that knows Argentina can guess the first answer: FAMILY. Listen in and find out more. It was great FUN.
I apologize for not uploading new content in several months. I defected over the river to Uruguay for the summer and upon my return to Buenos Aires have been incredibly busy with other projects and workshops. In fact, I am headed to the USA for a workshop/seminar tour in New England and will return in mid-June. In the mean time I am posting this URBANAFM radio 89.5 interview I did with Alvin Adams about Complementary Medicine. Urbana’s direct links for download have a glitch therefore I have uploaded my copy to WTFA. I hope you enjoy Patt Putting the Sexy On (Air) with Alvin Adams. Rise and Shine !
So what do you do, where do you go if you want to have sex but don’t have the money for a TELO? And if you do have the money for a TELO but there aren’t any nearby how do you get there? And who takes care of the transaction, who pays for the room? And do you go home with someone to have sex the first time or do you go to a TELO? From cars to clubs, to buses and bikes it is all just FUN.
Recently I was invited as a native USA speaker to attend an English language class at an institute outside of Capital Federal. I agreed to the 2 hour 2 bus ride with one “catch” - I get to record the conversation and I get to pick the topic. My topic was and always is TELOS. The book project continues… Here is a short snippet of our conversation. It is not so much about TELOs. In this segment we talk about CHEATING. It is fun! The sound quality is not the best but please forgive. The laughter makes up for it. Join in. Besotes.
Meet Nigel Tollerman, sommelier and owner of 0800-VINO.COM, a premier wine delivery service in Buenos Aires. I met up with him at his offices in Abasto to get a mini wine lesson and taste some of the best Pinot Noir I have ever experienced in Argentina. Nigel really knows his wine and loves to share his passion. Listen in and learn about the company, the services and of course about wine. This is only the first recording. I am definitely going back to continue my education. Next time we will be recording from the cellar which is quieter but potentially dangerous. We may never emerge again. Murder by Malbec - drowning a delicious, delirious death in the cave. Coming soon… SAVE ME.
Beer aficionados are passionate about their brew. In a country where 80% of the market is Quilmes where does a beer lover go to toss down a few microbrews? I met up with Chris Canty of Beer In BA in San Telmo to get some clues. I like this Aussie’s style, his sense of humor and his great passion for BEER. It’s a living thing…
Join us as we meet with author, linguist and tango singer Jose Maria (Pepe) Kokubu and learn about the origins and development of tango music and dance in Buenos Aires. This incredibly informative and entertaining interview (complete with several glorious serenaded examples) will help you understand and appreciate this rich and deeply erotic piece of Argentine culture. I personally was fascinated and found it difficult to stop recording and end the interview. I hope to be invited back soon.
This is the first in a new type of program - Pato’s Quack - monologues about Argentina because - well - Patt is not always in the country but she does have plenty of stories and information to convey.
Recently I had the great pleasure to meet up with two of the three members of the Aca Seca Trio. When I heard their music, a delicious melding of jazz and folklorica I simply had to share it with you. When you listen I am sure that you will agree that these talented musicians produce a world fusion that stirs the spirit and delights the soul. It roots in the tierra (earth) yet flies with the wind.
Couchsurfing – what is it? Is it about surfing, furniture, sofas? NO. It is about community. Tune in and learn about the CouchSurfing Project. Buenos Aires is one of the most active chapters in the worldwide web-based organization. Now with members numbering over half a million couchsurfing is not only changing the way a person travels, it is changing the world.
Join author Marc Thomas as he speaks with us about his latest novel “Ten2Seven”. The novel not only travels areas of the physical world but also areas deep within the soul. In this interview we focus on his early years as a teenager in Argentina during the coup d’état of the 70’s and segue to a spicy tidbit of “coming of age.” There is much more to the novel. Get it, read it. And while waiting…here is your chance to TASTE it.
SHE just landed in Buenos Aires on a space ship from Mars. HE arrived a year ago from Venus. They meet in a café to talk about TELO’s. Listen in and get the gist from a foreigner’s perspective. Live, love, laugh and learn. It IS all in good educational FUN !
