Guadalajara: Friday

On Friday we had more time in the morning and chose to seek breakfast out, and settled on the terrace at Chai, a bright cafe in a small square off Juarez, a short walk from our hostel where the Huevos Rancheros and large coffee went down well.

Then we were back at MIND for the presentation of Mabli's painting to Jalisco Government before the film crew took Rebecca and I up to the roof for our interviews to camera.

Then we were free to explore – heading out to picturesque artisan area of Tlaquepaque for some street food and shopping before joining the others for drinks and dinner at their glitzy hotel.

After dinner I headed back to FIL with the boys for the second half of the Cinematic Orchestra set.

I’ve also been wondering if any of the guys are having the same reserves and rigmaroles as me. Probably not. I doubt they’ve bought new heels. I’m having to put away any spoilt child tendencies too. For my book launch(es) will involve sharing the spotlight with the three other titles and authors that make up the Parthian Bright Young Things series – Tyler Keevil, Wil Gritten, and JP Smythe. This has pros and cons. Pros include getting to have more launches (Cardiff, Swansea, Bangor and London) as we pool marketing budgets, cons include the party not being exactly as you, singular, would want it – glitter, cupcakes, my favourite band in my case – and the impossibilities of arranging so many dates where all ...
