Merry LUCHA Christmas! This could only happen in Lucha Libre. Via the CMLL blog (& The FPU messageboard):
“EMLL is doing a special show at Arena Coliseo tomorrow where they will re-enact the birth of Jesus with wrestlers playing the roles from the bible. Alan Stone will play Joseph and EMLL valet Xiomara will play Mary, Brazo de Plata Jr. will be playing the Archangel Michael and Sagrado will be the Archangel Gabriel. The 3 Wise Men will be Brazo de Plata/Hijo del Gladiador/Tony Rivera. Other wrestlers taking part in this will be Angels (Loco Max/Ringo Mendoza/Veneno/Volador Jr.) vs. Demons (Averno/Damian el Terrible/Mephisto/Pierroth/Satanico.)”
Links & Places
The Lucky Tiki – The owner of The Bigfoot Lodge and Little Cave has opened a new Polynesian/tiki-themed bar. Pity we couldn’t make it to the opening last night. One of these days we’ll have to check it out. (It’s way way up north in Chatsworth)
Bahooka is a tiki restaurant reommended by Mr. BaliHai, with whom we will have the pleasure of dining very soon.
Thanks to Antoinette (whom I hanged out with while in San Francisco) for linking to us on her groovy food/culture blog – Adventures In Bahn Mi. Mmmmm… Memo to self: Must buy ingredients to cook Kow Yuk.
Also, thanks to OddioKatya and Mr BaliHai again, for the recent links to eddiemuerte!
El Hijo del Santo & Blue Demon JrOscar of Cuadrilatero has started another lucha libre blog: Arena Solidaridad. This one’s in Spanish and has lots of cool ring-action photos. (example – above pic)
Cacao Planning sells masked wrestling paraphernalia. This keychain looks like something we need to have… Pity we can’t read Japanese.

Thanks for the Lucky Tiki link. I just read about it a couple of days ago at Critiki and hadn’t gotten around to googling their website yet. Great pictures! I think I’m going to show them to our interior desecrator who’s currently busy drawing up plans for our own basement tiki bar! WooHoo! We’ll also be paying a visit to Oceanic Arts to look for masks and tiki poles to ship back to the frozen tundra to help decorate it.Looking forward to seeing ya’ll! I’m glad that Lisa and the Professor can make it too. I’m anxious to try those exotic Polynesian appetizers at the Bahooka…particularly the fried cheese stix…Aloha!
