"Taxi de Ruta al Centro, Tijuana" by River Berumen

[sgiandubh]

Mordor says He returned only for Visa reasons. They did some math and understood that Sam had been there for almost 90 days, só It was time for a quick walk home.

Dear Visa Anon,

Which Mordor luminary came with this idea? The MENSA-level CRT Clique or Miss Marple, who thinks I know nothing (the Dimwit from Madrid is still learning how to spell, so I can't believe it's her)?

Regardless. These people should immediately stop watching Ninety-Day Fiancé on their cable network, following a severe overdose on Uzbek midgets and Egyptian gigolos 'looking for true love' stories.

Maybe they could also have checked their facts before solemnly stating bullshit, since they clearly think all the visitors to the wonderful U S of A are tourists and as such, entitled to a maximum 90-day stay at a time (and then a short hike to Tijuana or Canada and back on tracks: not EDI/GLA, FFS!).

Incidentally, may I remind these geniuses that S has been spotted only near EDI, which of course would mean for them he'd be getting his visa there. Unless...

Unless you know the US General Consulate in EDI does not issue any type of visas - LOL, idiots. And unless he'd need to be in LHR for the pre-appointed interview and then another 7 working days delay for processing and 1-3 working days for passport delivery by mail only (never in person, chickadees). Doesn't really click with timelines, Madam Expert.

Because they are all very intelligent, they also forgot everything about/never bothered to look for the new-ish ESTA system (https://www.handyvisas.com/esta-us-visa/british/), especially designed for Visa Waiver countries' citizens. So I insist: if traveling as a tourist, S does not need a visa to enter the US for up to 90 days - that is correct, but by no means applicable to S's reality. And if he knew he'd need to stay more than 90 days, he would have applied for a visa - mandatory - in London before the Summer of Sassenach tour.

But he is not traveling as a tourist and very probably not under another type of non-immigrant visa, simply because he has businesses there and he is also involved in the OL project with *** (d'oh!).

Let's unpack:

As per US current regulations, S cannot apply for a B-1 (business non immigrant visa). To understand why, kindly refer to the US Customs and Border Protection FAQ (https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/B-1%20permissible%20activities.pdf). I already munched it up for you:

He could only apply for a O-1 B immigration visa, for which his agent or employer should mandatorily petition the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. These are special visas designed for the individual who (...) has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements. This is very subjective and a contract with * should be enough - I was in a taxi when I received your ask and immediately checked with a friend from the US Consulate, to indulge you. And all this hassle just because a Tumblr Nobody has flatulent opinions, huh?

According to the USCIS's own regulations, not Dutch fantasy or Belfast sagas, the authorized period of stay and possibility of extension are as follows (https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/o-1-visa-individuals-with-extraordinary-ability-or-achievement):

The good thing about getting this visa (and I think * sorted it out a long time ago for both of them) is that it helps tremendously with the Green Card procedures, something I bet the farm both S & C already have, by now.

So doing the maths was perfectly inane and useless.

Does that answer your question, clever Anon? Can I go back to the Quaich post I must finish (it will be VERY long, beware) today?

Thanks for asking and I am sorry for the length: this fandom being paranoid, I had to include all the tedious details. I hope we can put this idiocy to rest, now. Parochial twits.

'Afternoon, all...it's Mr. Baggins, back with your Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax! I thought today might be a good day for Part Two of our ongoing series about Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass. Let's grab that Tijuana Taxi and head south!

Let's go back to the beginning, all the way back to 1962! Here is the very first Tijuana Brass record. It's Alpert solo, with his trumpet part overdubbed and a touch out of sync. It's also the very first record issued on A & M Records, which Alpert formed with business partner Jerry Moss; they also formed their own publishing company "Almo Music, Inc." A & M went on to be the largest independent record label in the world. The distinctive "gold" version of the label (like the one above) came later that next year. Here is The Lonely Bull.

With all the airplay on TV and commercials, there was no shortage of demand for new TJB music. For the next seven years, they would have hit after hit after hit, until Alpert disbanded them in 1969. Let's hear another big hit from '66, his version of "What Now My Love?"

The drummer, Nick Ceroli, was a well-respected jazz drummer, boisterous enough to hold his own in Stan Kenton's big band, a guy who must have cut his teeth playing for strippers! Here is the TJB's stripper-ready version of the old '50s hit "Love Potion #9".

In '68, Herb sang the Bacharach/David tune "This Guy's In Love With You", which became a number one smash. The album it was taken from, "The Beat of The Brass", included this great tune, which was co-written by Alpert and TJB guitarist John Pisano. Pisano, btw, was an astoundingly talented jazz guitarist. Here is "Slick".

Now this next one is an absolute gem. It came from the album "Herb Alpert's Ninth", and was one of the biggest singles from that album. It's a pop-musical tour-de-force of the main themes from Bizet's Carmen. Each little sub-section is self-reflexively done in the style of one of the TJB's EARLIER hits...you'll recognize the "What Now My Love" section, etc. It's really a piece of pop musical genius. I've played you Vladimir Horowitz' "Carmen Variations", which he played at the end of his Television Concert. Alpert must have seen it and composed this arrangement as a response. Here is the TJB's "Carmen"!

Here's a tune composed by TJB guitarist John Pisano for Peggy Lee. Pisano was her guitarist as well! Her vocal version became a hit, as did the TJB's version, in '66. Here's "So What's New?"

As I've said before, I learned how to make an arrangement by listening to these guys obsessively as a kid growing up. They fascinated me with how they layered and constructed the arrangement and built the sound. And the playfulness and freedom with which they re-arranged old hits was just a kick, like this one. Taken from the "Sounds like..." album in '67, here is their total re-work of Gene Pitney's "Town Without Pity". And that's drummer Nick Ceroli doing the honors on the whoops and shouts throughout.

The same playfulness is evident in their version of The Supremes' "The Happening", from the same album in '67.

And I thought I'd wrap up this Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax with the 45 version of their re-work of "Zorba The Greek", from late '65. It's actually quite different from the LP version that's on the "Going Places" album. Enjoy!

That wraps up another Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax! Hope you've enjoyed today's installment in our series on Herb Alpert and The TJB! Mr. Baggins signing off for now, I'll return at 7pm Pacific with a set sure to soothe your achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night.

Until then, be kind, babies, be kind.

Baggins out.

ELENA DEL RIVERO & CRISTINA RIVERA GARZA

Las feministas

Pronunciaban la palabra. La escupían. La celebraban.

Corrían.

(Atrás de este vocablo debe oírse el pasar del viento.)

Hablaban a contrapelo. Interrumpiéndose.

Ah, tan descaradamente.

Vivían a la intemperie, que es el mismo lugar donde sentían.

Supongo que así nacieron.

No sabían de refugios, de techos, de amparos,

de patrocinios.

Estaban heridas de todo (y todo aquí quiere decir

la historia, el aire, el presente, el subjuntivo,

el contexto, la fuga).

Agnósticas más que ateas. Impactantes más

que hermosas. Vulnerables más que endebles. Vivas

más que tú. Más que yo. Estoicas más que fuertes.

Dichosas más que dichas.

Intolerantes. Sí. A veces.

¿Mencioné ya que eran brutales?

Caminaban en días de iracunda claridad como musas

de sí mismas

(eso ocurría sobre todo en el invierno cuando

los vientos del Santa Ana iban y venían

por los bulevares de Tijuana, arrastrando envolturas

de plástico y el polvo que obliga a cerrar los ojos

y negar la realidad)

a la orilla de todo, bamboleándose

eran la última gota que cuelga de la botella

(la mítica de la felicidad o la aún más mítica

que derrama el vaso o el sexo

impenetrable en la mismidad de su orificio)

y caían.

El colmo.

La epítome.

El acabose.

(Por debajo de estas frases debe olerse el tufo que deja

tras de sí el viento horizontal.)

Supongo que solo con el tiempo se volvieron así.

Con hombres o, a veces, sin ellos, besaban

labiodentalmente.

Y se mudaban de casa y se cambiaban los calcetines

y preparaban arroz.

Y bajaban las escaleras y tomaban taxis y no sentían

compasión.

Decían: Este es el viento que todo lo limpia.

Y pronunciaban la palabra. Enfáticas. Tenaces.

Prehumanas.

Tajantes. Sí. Con frecuencia.

Conmovedoras más que alucinadas. Sibilinas más

que conscientes. Subrepticias más que críticas.

Hipertextuales. Claridosas.

Estoy segura de que ya mencioné que eran brutales.

Fumaban de manera inequívoca.

Cambiaban de página con la devoción y el cuidado

minimalista de las enamoradas.

Siempre andaban enamoradas.

En los días sequísimos del Santa Ana elevaban

los rostros y se dedicaban a ver (podían pasar horas

así) esas aves que, sobre sus cabezas, remontaban

lúcidamente el antagonismo del aire.

Y el Santa Ana (y aquí debe oírse una y otra vez

la palabra) (una y otra vez) despeinaba entonces

sus vastas cabelleras ariscas. Sus cruentas pestañas

(una y otra vez).

_ Cristina Rivera Garza.

Advance Reservations: Many private transportation services allow for online bookings or phone reservations. Confirm your booking and keep track of any confirmation details or instructions provided by the service.

Gateway to Adventure: Navigating Transportation Options to Tijuana Airport

Embarking on a journey often begins with the simple yet significant task of getting to the airport. For travelers heading to Tijuana Airport, a vital hub for both domestic and international flights, understanding the various transportation options can enhance the travel experience. Tijuana, a vibrant city bordering the United States, offers multiple means of transport to the airport, each with its own advantages. This guide delves into these options, helping you choose the most suitable one for your needs.

Driving to Tijuana Airport

Driving is a convenient option for many travelers, offering flexibility and control over your schedule. If you have access to a car, driving to Tijuana Airport can be straightforward. Major highways connect Tijuana to various parts of Mexico and the United States, making the airport accessible from multiple directions. It's important to familiarize yourself with the route beforehand, considering factors like traffic conditions and border crossing times if you're coming from the United States.

Parking facilities at Tijuana Airport are ample, with options ranging from short-term to long-term parking. However, it's wise to check the parking fees and availability in advance. Additionally, if you're renting a car, ensure that the rental agreement allows for cross-border travel, and be aware of insurance requirements in both countries.

Public Transportation

Public transportation is an economical and eco-friendly choice. Tijuana has an extensive network of buses that connect various parts of the city to the airport. The city's main bus terminal offers services that can take you directly to the airport or nearby areas, from where you can easily catch a taxi or shuttle.

For those traveling from the United States, the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) provides services that get you close to the border. From there, a short walk or taxi ride will take you to the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) pedestrian bridge, a convenient passage directly into Tijuana Airport. CBX is a unique feature that allows ticketed passengers to cross the border seamlessly, significantly reducing travel time.

Taxis and Ride-Sharing Services

Taxis are a popular choice due to their convenience and speed. In Tijuana, taxis are readily available and can be hailed on the street or booked in advance. It's advisable to agree on a fare before starting your journey or ensure the meter is running to avoid any misunderstandings.

Ride-sharing services are also widely used in Tijuana and offer a modern alternative to traditional taxis. These services can be booked via smartphone apps, providing an added layer of convenience and often competitive pricing. Ride-sharing is particularly useful if you're traveling with a group or have a lot of luggage, as you can choose a vehicle that fits your needs.

Shuttle Services

Shuttle services provide a balance between the cost-effectiveness of public transport and the convenience of taxis. Various companies offer shuttle services to and from Tijuana Airport, catering to different budgets and requirements. These shuttles can be booked in advance and often provide door-to-door service, making them an excellent choice for travelers who prefer not to drive or navigate public transportation.

For cross-border travelers, there are dedicated shuttle services that operate from various locations in Southern California directly to the CBX facility. These shuttles are particularly useful for those who prefer not to deal with the hassle of parking or navigating border crossings on their own.

Cross Border Xpress (CBX)

The Cross Border Xpress is a game-changer for travelers heading to Tijuana Airport from the United States. This pedestrian bridge connects San Diego directly to Tijuana Airport, offering a streamlined crossing experience. To use CBX, you need a boarding pass for a flight departing from Tijuana Airport and a CBX ticket. The bridge is accessible from a terminal building in San Diego, where you can park your car, check in for your flight, and cross the border within minutes.

CBX is particularly advantageous because it bypasses the often congested vehicle border crossings, saving time and reducing stress. The facility is equipped with amenities such as luggage carts, duty-free shops, and comfortable waiting areas, enhancing the overall travel experience.

Conclusion

Navigating transportation to Tijuana Airport is an integral part of planning your trip. Whether you prefer the autonomy of driving, the cost-effectiveness of public transportation, the convenience of taxis and ride-sharing, the reliability of shuttle services, or the efficiency of the Cross Border Xpress, Tijuana offers a variety of choices to suit every traveler’s needs. By understanding these options and planning accordingly, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey to this gateway of adventure.
