El Chopo: The Goth Experience

June 24th, 2010 · 4 Comments

Well, most of you DON’T know that I moved down to ole Mexico.  Those of you who know the “real” me do know that I moved down here.

Anyhoo, I had an adventure last weekend.  I was going to go to an annual goth event; a big one, on Saturday night.  Of course, having nothing to wear, we decided to wander over to El Chopo.  El Chopo is a Goth market that occurs every Saturday in Mexico City.  You will find every type of person there, and you can buy just about anything Goth, Ska, Skater, whatever there.

I thought I would feel terribly out of place, but it was a ton of fun, and my friend and I both got outfits.  I even got some really cool boots that I can wear again and again.

She and I decided that we are total “goths” and are going to “embrace” the lifestyle; at least as one of the many eclectic lifestyles that we are playing with down here.

Anyhoo, I didn’t get any pictures because you are supposed to have some kind of a badge or something, but here’s a blog about El Chopo with some great pictures and it’s funny too.  Take a gander.  It’s a lot of fun!

    Well, you’ve skipped over the whole move thing. Blog about that for a while.

    And I still don’t know what job you are doing down south. Tell us about that.

    Have fun at your goth event. Halloween is only four months away, so we must get ready for that as well.
