NO Doubt (sin duda?)

"With my head in my hand, I sit and cry...
[the crowds, they weren't mine]
Don't tell me cause it hurts.
ooo, ooooh, ooo....."

A Letter of Appreciation.

Dear Mr. Bob Marley Painter Man,
My concerns are boundless, but let's start here:

WHY, are you so good?
HOW, do you know so much?
At once, I feel pity & admiration.

You are the perfect showman, the perfect spectacle, The perfect brand. In short, the Perfect Artist.
I see, I hear, I understand what you do. And, I want to do it too.

I envy your simplicity and your perfectly paint-splattered shoes. I envy the way you can be so nonchalant, you can smile and wink at me. You, more than anyone else, can wear all black.

Your hair is perfect, your message so clear, the Applause so loud.
You leave me speechless, thoughtless, and deaf with gratitude.
More than anything, I envy the deep and restful sleep you must find at the end of your day, knowing you've done so well.

To You, I extend my warmest thank you.

Birds of a Feather. (San Telmo)

TRANQUI/SAN TELMO

Con pocos preparativos, Tranqui va a hacer el acto por la primera vez hoy en San Telmo.
Hay muchos ilegales, locos, y payasos ahi, entonces, no tengo tanto miedo de la yuta (iza, rati, chancha, cobani, policia). Más, los turistas que seguro van a tomar fotos del ese Yanqui con un sombrero hecho de cartón...
Les espero ahi.

With few prepartions, Tranqui heads for the first time to do his performance in San Telmo.
There are many ilegals (things/people), crazy-types, and clowns there, so I'm not too scared of the po-pos. Plus, the tourists will surely take photos of this crazy Yankee with his tophat made of cardboard.
I'll see you there.

I have to Drink my Pills now.

macintosh lollipops.
my fingers and wrists hurt.

Can Tranqui Yanqui make things cooler if he says he loves them too?

Maybe Coca-Cola and Mac will pitch in to my cause if they know I'm helping theirs.

That's what I'm banking on.

la fiaca.

tranqui esta con su dia de fiaca.
Igual, es un dia para trabajar en los diseños de unas nuevas ropitas...
pantalones de los colectivos.
remeras de la guia 'T'.
y mas.

QUICK!! Make more $$$!!!

Tranquify that Shit.

With glitter and gold, Tranqui marketing is well under way. In production is a new line of clothing, cola, tranqui bucks, and a thorough advertising campaign to uphold it all; slapped with the Tranqui tag to make it even more awesome.
Wait.
More awesome?
Yes. More Awesome.
Yanquilandia watches the crumbling of a dynasty.
Tranqui Yanqui scoffs at those silly Yankees and their greed. His own money is the answer; Rich as ever in Tranqui Bucks...

El maketing de Tranqui Yanqui ya empezó hace mucho.
Brillante, con oro, el nuevo producción de ropas mentirosas, cola, plata, y los promociones para apollar todo. La marca de Tranqui está para hacerlos más copado.
Espera.
Más copado?
Si, más.
En Yanquilandia, están mirando el desmunuzarse de su propria dinastía.
Tranqui Yanqui mira a sus Yankees y su avaricia. Su mismo dinero es la solución;
Tan Rico con Tranqui Bucks.

Tranqui-Cola. Basta.

Collector's Edition bottles available. Sunglasses optional.

everytime a surprise.

stickers never get old.

los stickers nunca que consiguen
viejos.

YO F*ck the Police 'cause I aint the One!

BUSTED.
la segunda vez.

cuantas veces que la gente disfrutaban el show de Tranqui:
todos.
cuantas veces que la policia me dijieron que tenia que irme: 2.

# of times people have enjoyed Tranqui's show: everytime.
# of times the cops have kicked Tranqui out: 2.

my document was taken.
people were concerned.
for a split second, I thought they might actually do something with my ID.

Then I remembered, I'm in Argentina.

Feria at Mataderos, HOY!!

Veni a ver Tranqui en la feria de Matederos, a las 15:00!
Es un dia hermoso, por que no lo pasás con tu yanqui preferido?, Tranqui, por supuesto....
(Go to the Matederos market today, spend this beautiful day with your favorite Yankee, Tranqui, of course...)

casa is where the corazón is.

you wa- wa- wan- want it...

Coca-cola or Tranqui-Cola?

If you don't understand, just say so.
Si no entendés, decíme por que.
