Time for an update and further explanation on a charity event that went awfully wrong. This is one long assed entry so brace yourselves. Plus
Here's the background.
My sister is studying at this gastronomy school to become a chef de cuisine. They are quite good but the management can be terrible specially because some of the teachers/chefs there are so ridiculously obsessed with their thing. Or maybe it's just a cook thing no one understands, anyway they hold this big ass dinner each year to help Teletn which is a fundraiser where all the proceeds go to Hospitals and Care centers for children with special needs and no money, who are properly taken care of and treated with advanced technology, medication and DIGNITY. The enterprises and evil corporations do their part but it's mostly the common people who make it work and donate.
(The site's in spanish but I encourage you to visit nonetheless)
Now for what you've been waiting for.
This year's theme was a Brazilian night. There was going to be plenty o' traditional brazilian food, capoeira, music, the whole enchilada, you see. But it turns out for some reason I'll never understand, they decided to hold it in the parking lot, or the grounds surrounding the school I just forget which one it is. Then Tlaloc, God of Rain, decided he would not have this. He sent a storm that made everyone run into the school for refuge, turning tables and grills over in the process. The idiot in charge of the event decided they'd carry on with the program, because at some point the rain seemed to stop.
If only.
It was around this time that I absolutely refused to stay around for dinner. I hate crowds, specially when they're all wet and snotty. My part was done, I had contributed with my money to this great cause and I was exhausted anyway so me & the family members who were there headed for this fancy new restaurant right across the street. That's when all hell broke loose. The rain began falling even harder, flooding the courtyard and the wind began to blow real hard, causing the things that covered everyone to fall down, iron supports and heavy cables included. Chaos followed. Ambulances everywhere, people running, trying to help, to get their stuff, or just get the fuck out of there. People were injured and the event was a total disaster. I counted 10 ambulances, though only one paper mentioned it the next day (see, some big shots were there, and they wouldn't allow this kind of thing to get out... try to stop ME bitches, I'll unleash my hounds and you'll regret it once you got the tax collectors at your doors) apparently there were many people with different kinds of injuries.
Well, enough of that stuff. Here's the few pictures that made it to my email. I honestly hope the person who took them won't be discovered 'cause she'll get expelled for that.
Enjoy.
