The First Few Dates aka Middle Aged Lover's Club (MALC)

The first time they go out, it's not really a date. At least Yashiki doesn't think it's a date. Are four people allowed to go out on dates?

Mashita Satoru x Yashiki Kazuo x Daimon Shuuji x Hiroo Madoka (Poly Relationship, OT4)

This won't leave my head. You're welcome world for the ship no one asked for. Is this going to be a thing? No idea.

Warnings: Implied Canon Typical Violence, Low Self Esteem (Yashiki), Polyamory, Poly Negotiations, Pre-Relationship

The first time they go out, it’s not really a date. At least Yashiki doesn’t take it as a date. Hiroo had insisted the adults get together to let loose and Yashiki didn’t have the heart to say no. Mashita had loudly and insistently said he wasn’t going, a blatant lie since he was sitting right next to Yashiki. Hiroo and Daimon sat across from them, a bottle of sake in the middle of the table.

It doesn’t take long for Hiroo and Mashita to start bickering, Hiroo getting louder the more alcohol she drinks. Daimon sends Yashiki an amused look, shaking his head and ordering appetizers for the table. The two of them catch up while the younger two exchange barbs, easily starting an impromptu drinking contest. Daimon’s leg bumps into Yashiki’s under the table and he winks, Yashiki’s cheeks going pink. The other two don’t notice, getting close as they lean across the table.

The night ends with Hiroo leaning heavily on Daimon and Mashita smirking at her half-asleep state. Daimon gives Yashiki’s arm a squeeze before taking Hiroo home, the dual lab coats blending into the night. Yashiki drives Mashita back to the mansion, the ex-detective’s good mood not faltering. Mashita spends the night and Yashiki basks in the lightness in his chest; the normal crushing weight has left for the night.

The four of them don’t have time to get together for a couple of months, seeing each other sporadically. Yashiki takes a few cases with Mashita, not as partners but just to help. The knowing glint in Mashita’s eyes betrays what they both know, it’s only a matter of time. He always feels safe with Mashita, even when they’re running for their lives. The younger man is a steady presence at his side.

He goes to lunch with Daimon a couple of times, the two of them meeting at a diner close to the hospital. Yashiki always feels comfortable with the doctor; he doesn’t know what exactly it is but he enjoys relaxing with his friend. They talk about music and the other Mark Bearers, content to exist just the two of them.

Hiroo is harder to get a hold of but Yashiki does his best to make time for her. Usually that means she drags him over town to run errands, carrying her bags and then going for drinks after. She takes longer to relax than the others but Yashiki is proud the first time she actually laughs in front of him. She’s beautiful when she grins.

The next time they’re all able to get together Daimon picks the place, a trendy karaoke bar. Mashita looks like he’s going to cuss everyone out but Hiroo drags him to their room before he can make a scene. Yashiki doesn’t know half of the songs they pick but it’s fun to see everyone let loose. Daimon has a nice voice (when he’s able to sing without coughing) but Mashita is tone deaf. Hiroo vows to never let him live it down but Mashita doesn’t complain too much. It might be because she’s leaning so heavily on him as she laughs.

Something is changing between them. Yashiki can’t pinpoint when or how but things are changing. Mashita has been thawing, not only to himself but the others as well. Hiroo’s teasing is less mocking and has a sweeter edge. Daimon jokes more, something sly on his face instead of serious. Yashiki thinks that he’s changing too; more willing to relax and connect with the people around him.

Moe has been teasing him, saying that Mashita and Hiroo visit him at the mansion a lot more often. Once Moe knows, everyone else knows. Yashiki doesn’t think it’s a big deal, everyone comes to visit him, but there’s something that he’s missing. The one time he asks Mashita, the ex-detective looks at him, sighs and then rolls his eyes.

“Figure it out yourself, idiot.” The words lack their normal heat, Mashita sounding fond. Yashiki had meant to bring it up to Daimon before their next get together but it slips his mind with another spirit case.

Eventually Mashita drags them all to a local hole in the wall, something that Yashiki had walked past without noticing. It’s a mix between a jazz club and a bar, the lights dim and booths secluded. Mashita had swung by the mansion before hand and helped Yashiki pick out an outfit, something completely out of the norm. The detective hadn’t let anything slip, just smirking as he got Yashiki ready. As questions were ignored or brushed off, the older man giving up after a while. Yashiki feels silly as they walk in but once he sees Hiroo and Daimon he feels better; they’ve dressed up as well.

They’re booth is tucked into a corner, away from the noise and other customers. Yashiki enjoys how the low lighting caresses everyone’s face and resists the urge to touch. It’s not something he thinks about often, the way his eyes and hands want to wander. Most of the time he’s able to push the thoughts back but tonight it’s harder. Partly sake, partly because Mashita’s hand has been on his knee the entire night. There’s something unsaid pulsing among them and Yashiki isn’t as scared as he should be.

The tension bubbles over once they leave, exiting into an ally in the back. Yashiki is laughing at a joke Daimon told, bumping shoulders with Mashita. Hiroo turns around at his laugh, letting go of Daimon’s hand to cup his face and kiss him. She tastes like sake and mint, Yashiki freezing before kissing her back. His eyes slide closed, only opening after Hiroo pulls back. The look on her face is self-satisfied, the scientist licking her lips as Yashiki’s cheeks go red.

Mashita let’s out a scoff behind him, Daimon offering a kind smile at Yashiki’s mounting horror. The doctor doesn’t give him time to react, leaning down to kiss him as well. This kiss is softer, tasting like citrus and sandalwood. Yashiki gasps when Daimon’s tongue brushes his lips, the older man taking advantage of his open mouth. Yashiki is sure that he’s going to stumble until Mashita’s arms wrap around his waist. Daimon pulls away; Yashiki gets a brief view of Hiroo dragging him into a kiss before Mashita is on him.

This is the kiss that makes Yashiki ground, all teeth and tongue and smoke. Yashiki thinks he’s dreaming, that has to be the reason all of this is happening. There’s no way everything would fall into place this perfectly; life doesn’t usually give him what he wants.

“Stop thinking.” Mashita’s voice is a growl, pulling away just enough to scold Yashiki. He doesn’t respond, brain still trying to reboot. Hiroo lets out a uncharacteristic giggle, smirk wide on her face.

“He should be thinking about the right stuff now at least.” Her tone is teasing and Daimon shakes his head, a fond look on his face.

“Should we take this inside?” Daimon’s words help to sober them up a bit, the four making sure no one else has seen them. The ally is empty and Mashita takes charge, taking Yashiki by the wrist and pulling him towards the van. Yashiki let’s them lead him away, slender fingers brushing over his hips.

“Does this mean we’re dating?” Yashiki can’t help but blurt out, the other three stopping just at the mouth of the ally. There are a few heartbeats of silence and he’s sure he’s ruined everything. Hiroo breaks the silence with a lout groan, running a hand down her face. Daimon starts to laugh, loud and carefree in a way Yashiki only hears occasionally.

“Of course we’re dating. We’ve been dating for months.” Hiroo’s voice is her normal brisk tone, Mashita giving a chuckle.

“Now you feel my pain.” Mashita teases, Hiroo smacking him on the arm.

“This is all your fault! You told us you’d talk to him!” Yashiki watches as the two begin to bicker; Hiroo pinches Mashita’s wrist and the ex-detective smirks.

“I did talk to him. It’s not fault he’s dense and self-sacrificing.” Yashiki snorts, feeling a wave of confusion and affection.

“We didn’t really talk…” He trails off and Daimon raises an eyebrow, interpreting something different in his silence. Yashiki goes red again and Hiroo huffs, crossing her arms.

“You liar Mashita! You were supposed to keep your hands to yourself!”

“Shut it you noisy brat; you’re one to talk about keeping your hands to yourself.” Mashita looks pointed at her fingers on his arm and Hiroo pulls back like she’s been burned. Her face goes red and Mashita gives another smirk, crowding her towards the wall. Yashiki clears his throat, all of them turning to look at him.

“I’d like to talk about it, if you’re all still willing.” Some of the sexual tension bleeds away, soft looks appearing.

“We’d like that.” Daimon gives Yashiki’s shoulder a squeeze, the doctor moving onto the street. They all share a secret smile, Hiroo moving to walk next to Daimon. Mashita falls into place by Yashiki and the older man smiles, linking their pinkies for a moment before letting go.

He doesn’t know when they started dating but he’s not going to complain. Yashiki might not think he deserves it but he’s going to cling to this happiness with everything he has. That’s what it means to live, after all.

Rialto, CA-based soul outfit Brainstory will be releasing their Leon Michels-produced sophomore album Sounds Good on Friday through renowned purveyors of soul, Big Crown Records. The album will feature: “Gift of Life,” a lush, old-school, Quiet Storm-like, show-topping ballad built around a shimmering and vibey arrangement featuring fluttering, ethereal flute paired with Kevin Martin’s emotive, falsetto croon and some incredibly catch hooks. While the song see the band pulling from classic soul, psych soul and dub in a way that sounds like it could been released sometime between 1968-1974, “Gift of Life,” manages to feel remarkably modern.  “Listen,” a classic, two-step inducing groove-driven song with shimmering analog synths, an overdrive-fueled guitar solo paired with some dreamy falsetto melodies and harmonies that sounds — to me, at least — as though it could have been been a Mandrill or Isley Brothers B side. The song sees the band’s Kevin Martin encouraging the listener to spend some time enjoying the present moment, because life’s all too short and remarkably fleeting “Peach Optimo,” a slow-burning and summery bit of psych soul anchored around a strutting and wobbling bass line, glistening keys, some funky drum rhythm patterns and an expressive guitar solo paired with some retro-futuristic synths. Seemingly channelling JOVM mainstays Mildlife and L’Eclair, sees the trio diving into the banality and simple pleasures of teenaged suburban life — full of the nostalgia of cul-de-sac hangs and bullshit sessions with the homies. Sounds Good‘s fifth and latest single “XFaded” is a strutting, hook-driven and funky psych soul jam anchored around an arrangement featuring skittering boom bap, a sinuous bass line and squiggling bursts of guitar. According to the trio, the song’s sound was partially inspired by what theft thought a modern day George Clinton/Parliament funk jam would sound like — and by small town life, where getting fucked up is an unofficial/official pastime because there isn’t much else to really do. The slick Leon Michels production paired with the band’s razor sharp yet seemingly effortless performance ironically contrasts the notion of getting sloppy and fucked up but reveals the easy-going chemistry between the trio and producer. The trio are about to embark on a run of headlining Stateside dates and a couple of stops on the global festival circuit, before joining Lady Wray in May for a run of UK and European Union dates. Tour dates are below.

Sabías que, hoy cumple 78 años la baterista, cantante y compositora estadounidense Maureen ‘Moe’ Tucker, conocida por haber sido la baterista en el grupo The Velvet Underground entre los años 1966 y 1972. Con su aspecto andrógino y su peculiar estilo de darle a los tambores (en ocasiones tocaba de pie, prescindía de platos y usaba el bombo en posición horizontal percutiéndolo con mazas) fue una de las grandes atracciones de la mítica banda neoyorquina. En los años setenta se retiró de la escena para criar a sus cinco hijos. Volvió en 1989 como guitarrista, cantante y baterista de Half Japanese y produjo su álbum ‘Fire in the Sky’ (1993). Seguidamente, con su propia banda publicó varios álbumes en sellos independientes y participó en sendas reuniones de Velvet Underground (1992/93 y 1996), la última, con motivo de su admisión en el Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. En octubre de 2010 confesó que su nieto la tenía ocupada 24 horas y se retiró definitivamente del show business. @relaxvideobar www.relaxvideobar.com (at RELAX VIDEO BAR) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chv7ocoMGks/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

La cerveza para refrescarse un poquito y como no tiene alcohol, pues adelante.

TOP 5 Animes Tensos/Pesados (+18)

ATENÇÃO: Animes recomendados para maiores de 18 anos! 

1. Now and Then, Here and There

Sinopse: Shuzo Matsutani, ou simplesmente Shu, é um estudante de Kendô de espírito alegre e jovial, e que muitas vezes se vê em situações complicadas devido à sua falta de concentração. Ao voltar da escola para casa, ele se depara com uma garota misteriosa de olhos azuis e distantes chamada Lala-Ru. Shu não imaginava as enormes mudanças que ocorreriam em sua vida após este encontro casual. O lado brutal do ser humano colocará à prova toda a sua alegria de viver, e as cicatrizes serão inevitáveis.

Sem dúvidas um dos animes mais tensos/pesados que eu já vi até até hoje, Now and Then definitivamente daria muita polêmica se fosse ao ar nos dias de hoje. É uma obra que não tem medo de mostrar o lado podre do ser humano, abordando diversos temas polêmicos, além de várias cenas impactantes, em especial o episódio 12 da série, que bagulho TENSO, mds. Recomendo apenas para quem tem uma mente aberta e também para quem procura um anime diferente, brutal e com uma história que definitivamente irá te marcar! 

2. Death Parade

Sinopse: Após a morte, os humanos são mandados para a reencarnação ou para o vácuo. Mas alguns acabam indo parar no Quindecim, um bar onde um bartender misterioso de cabelos brancos, chamado Decim, trabalha. Todos que vão parar nesse lugar são desafiados a jogar vários tipos de jogos mortais, onde suas verdadeiras personalidades são reveladas, sendo que no final, é decidido pelo árbitro se os participantes irão para a reencarnação ou para o vácuo.

Talvez o anime mais conhecido dessa lista; Death Parade é um exemplo de anime original muito bem planejado, são apenas 12 episódios porém com situações tensas pra caralh*, em especial o episódio 9. 

3. Shinsekai Yori

Sinopse: Cinco crianças vivendo no futuro são os protagonistas. A história começa quando eles tem 12 anos e estão começando sua vidas escolares em uma escola avançada para aprender o "poder amaldiçoado", telecinese.

Shinsekai Yori vai dividir a opinião de muita gente, é aquele tipo de anime que tem que prestar bastante atenção para entender tudo, sua arte e principalmente sua história, é bem diferente do que estamos acostumados a ver em animes. Não diria que é um anime de terror, apesar de ter elementos do gênero.

4. Gunslinger Girl

Sinopse: Henrietta era uma menina como tantas outras, até o dia em que foi deixada para morrer após ter testemunhado o brutal assassinato da sua família. Terrivelmente traumatizada e sem vontade de viver, permaneceu no hospital em coma até que uma corporação decidiu usá-la para um de seus projetos secretos. Após ter-se submetido a um tipo de lavagem cerebral e ter muito de seu corpo substituído por implantes cibernéticos, Henrietta não tem nenhuma recordação de seu passado e começa sua nova vida como uma assassina, trabalhando para um grupo secreto anti-terrorismo.

Como já puderam notar pela sinopse, Gunslinger Girl está longe de ser um anime de slice of life moe genérico, nessa obra vemos tudo que há de mais podre na humanidade, filmes snuff, tráfico de pessoas, policiais corruptos, e por aí vai, entretanto acredite ou não, o material original, que no caso é um mangá, consegue ser ainda mais pesado que o anime.

5. Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou

Sinopse: Desde os tempos antigos, este mundo tem sido governado por duas cartas de tarô: O Diabo e O Elemental. O Diabo se alimenta do obscuro das almas humanas e usa isso para trazer dor e sofrimento interminável. O Elemental retira seu poder da natureza para opôr-se ao Diabo. Garotas escolhidas de 22 linhagens sanguíneas diferentes se tornam as portadoras do tarô Elemental, colocando-as nesta batalha secreta para manter o mundo equilibrado, enquanto carregam uma culpa assoladora...

Outro anime em que a sinopse já diz bastante. De todos os animes da lista, eu diria que Genei wo Kakeru é o menos pesado. Um dos pontos fortes da série é sua trilha sonora, que é excelente, deixando as cenas muito mais impactantes e tensas de certa forma. Sobre a história, é um anime que aborda muito questões religiosas (“bem vs. mal”).

Estas son las mejores propuestas nacionales e internacionales, que han visitado León y los alrededores en los últimos 10 años (1° parte); 

festivales, bares y foros que han pasado a la historia y otros, que siguen abiertos en la actualidad.

Hace una década me dieron mi credencial de elector y con ella; el pase de admisión a los mejores gigs en diferentes bares de la ciudad. Yo me centraba en el flujo de rock, punk, new wave, garage, indie, alternativo y house que bajaba del norte. Esa pequeña corriente sabor a cielo que se reforzaba cada vez más, gracias al incremento de tecnología. La invasión inglesa traspaso fronteras y me despertó curiosidad por escuchar más música en español e inglés.

Incluso, desde antes de los 18 años, ya me juntaba con inmorales en fiestas amenizadas por puras joyitas musicales. Recorrer las calles en búsqueda del soundtrack más adecuado para tu vida, le daba sentido a la misma. Zarpar en búsqueda de la mejor experiencia musical, era la tarea más importante que había entonces.  

Para refrescar la memoria; recuerdo que mi padre me contó la historia de cuando tuvo la oportunidad de ver a B.B. King en la ciudad de Guanajuato. La leyenda tocó en el estadio de baseball de Pastita en la histórica sexta edición del Festival Internacional Cervantino de 1978. A lo que nos lleva a recordar la octava edición del mismo festival en 1980. Pues era la visita del también artista reconocido: Ray Charles; considerado “uno de los 100 más grandiosos artistas de todos los tiempos” según Rolling Stone. También, recuerdo que cuando vivía en Guanajuato capital; me platicaron que en 1994 Radiohead, paseó por la ciudad en fechas cervantinas sin ser parte oficial del festival. Aunque ninguna de estas historias me pertenece, me hacen sentir más motivado a recordar.

Quiero hablarles del 25 de agosto del 2011; un día antes de mis 20 primaveras. Evento al que fui con mis amigos al extinto Pub Monaghan para ver a Thieves Like Us (banda con referencias retro y ritmos post-punk en synth-pop) Excelente regalo de cumpleaños. Los integrantes, humildemente bajaron a tomarse fotos con el público. 6 Años después; 4 de junio de 2017 volverían a Hammer Soul.

(Pontus Berghe, baterista de Thieves like us y yo en Pub- Monaghan, León, Gto. 2011 :))

En 2013; un accidente me dejó en cama por meses. Fue inevitable perderme a Man Or Astroman en el centro de León. Del 29 de agosto al 9 de septiembre, se llevaba a cabo el XVIII Festival Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo (FIAC) frente a la casa de la cultura. El cuarteto de surf-punk espacial compartía escenario con Rebel Cats, Sr. Bikini y Los Mustang 66.

(Man or astroman primera vez en México. Esta foto le pertenece al Instituto Cultural de León)  En el Festival Duro que se llevó acabó el 08 de marzo del 2014. En las instalaciones de la feria. Pudimos disfrutar de la presentación estelar del Reverend Beatman y The Monsters; blues, punk, new wave, folk y rock & roll.

(Foto de Ana Muñiz: the Monsters y el Reverend Beat-Man en León)  

El 28 de octubre del 2016: The Schizophonics visitaba nuestra ciudad. La pareja de San Diego, California; Pat Beers (Guitarra) y Lety Beers (Bateria). Tocaron en uno de los foros que ha desaparecido con el tiempo, y promovieron la mejor combinación de Rock y Fuzz. El 18 de noviembre del 2016: Se anunció la asistencia de la orquesta cubana; Buena Vista Social Club en el Festival del Globo. Noticia exagerada porqué solo fue la tecladista esa noche. Recientemente se presentaron gratis en San Miguel de Allende el pasado 08 de marzo del 2020.

(Buena Vista Social Club en SMA. Foto de https://cobertura360.mx/)

Los Peyotes vinieron a nuestra ciudad el 1 de diciembre del 2016. En la calle Pedro Moreno #529. Entre las calles Zaragoza y Libertad. Esta es la banda que revivió el garage revival de Sudamérica. Con mucho flujo freakbeat y toques de a go go, completan una de las mejores propuestas del garage hispano a nivel mundial. La banda insignia del ska y reagge: The Skatalites. Frecuentaron el estado de Gto desde el 2013. Aunque la última vez que pisaron tierras guanajuatenses fue el 17 de noviembre del 2019 y celebraron su °55 aniversario en el Bar Nandas de Guanajuato capital.  Y sí hablamos de ska, porque no recordar la visita de una propuesta muy importante del género en México; Salón Victoria al Abbey Road Bar el 21 de mayo del 2015. Masser Chups el 17 de febrero del 2017 se presentó en el Rolling House; banda de Rusia, San Petersburgo con sonido surf, rockabilly y horror punk.

(Esta foto le pertenece al Instituto Cultural de León. Masser Chups en León)

En el Festival Visceral organizado por Factory House, la noche del 25 de febrero del 2017 y las bandas estelares eran; Has a Shadow (garage psych) y OCEANSS (Deep-Noise) de CDMX. En previos eventos; el concepto móvil Factory House, había encontrado su camino desde la primera sede, donde comenzó el movimiento. En aquellas madrugadas de brujas en el Sabbath, cuando algunos miembros de The Wookies, llegaron sin mascaras a un after en la sede original de la Factory a principios del 2013. Continuando con el flujo electrónico del after: Cabe mencionar la noche de principios del año 2019, nos visitó Friso de Adana Twins el 5 de enero. Además, el 29 de julio del 2019; MACHINO, desde Tijuana asistiría al Bar El Taller en el centro de la ciudad de León. También es importante mencionar la noche del 7 de noviembre; Purple Disco Machine en The Normal.

(foto por Esteban Cisneros: The Cynics en Jaibol) El Bar Jaibol siempre ha figurado como uno de los lugares más populares de zona centro en la ciudad de León, Gto. Con ambiente alternativo y 100% familiar. En sus principios, alrededor del 2012 o 2013. Estaban más enfocados en el público juvenil, y el Jaibol era el punto de referencia para la banda rocanrolera de diferentes géneros. El sábado 8 de marzo del 2014 optaron por darle cuerda a la juventud alocada que frecuentaba el bar, con la presentación de The Voodo y The Cynics; el mejor garage-revival de todos los tiempos. Un par de años más adelante: El 15 de abril del 2016; The Gore Gore Girls. Luego, el 10 de junio del 2016; The Fleshtones y Wau y Los Arrrghs!!! visitaron el Jaibol para recordarnos la época dorada del garage revival en León, gracias al Jaibol.

(Amanecimos con Build A Vista)  Al rededor del 2013-2016 se empezó a encontrar la decadencia urbana que tanto me gusta en el Bar El Callejón. El poder psicodélico de Build a Vista se apoderaba de este lugar; el 8 de septiembre del 2018 y de nuevo, el 6 de agosto del 2019. El escenario era de El Muerto de Tijuana, el 29 de septiembre del 2018. Seguimos con El Cómodo Silencio De Los Que Hablan Poco; presentes el 28 de octubre del 2018; banda chilena experta en canciones emotivas, pasajes instrumentales y un permanente espíritu juvenil. Las Pipas de la Paz destrozaron el escenario el 9 de febrero del 2019. También, acompañaron a Los Nastys el 22 de mayo del 2019. Garage punk mexicano y garage revival español; reunidos por primera vez en León.

El 15 de febrero del 2019; venía O-Tortuga con la potencia capitalina. Luego, el 7 de marzo del 2019 desde Noruega nos visitaba la vanguardia en música experimental; MoE. Un mes adelante, Juan Wauters nos agendaba una fecha para “La Onda de Juan Pablo Tour” el 15 de mayo del 2019. La dinastía de The Froys nos citaron en el Callejón el 29 de junio del 2019. El último día de agosto, tuvimos una noche fuzztástica con la visita de los matemáticos de Mengers. Y, para terminar; tuvimos la visita de El Shirota (01/Nov/19) con una versatilidad envidiable sobre el escenario. Implementando un toque experimental y psicodélico impresionante.  

(Con MoE en el Bar El Callejón.)

Para despedirnos les voy a hablar de un lugar, que en 2017 tuve la oportunidad de ver a una de mis bandas favoritas: Maybach Concert Hall. Desde entonces lo he considerado como un foro muy importante para la ciudad de León.

Como les iba diciendo; el 19 de mayo del 2017, asistí a San Pedro el Cortez y Belafonte Sensacional cumpliendo fechas del Tour Circuito Indio. Dos propuestas que me han acompañado hasta el amanecer. Continuamos con Hong Kong Blood Opera el 1 de julio del 2017; elevando revoluciones con sus teclados punkys.  Seguimos con Los Master Plus y Sabino el 20 de julio del 2017. Terminamos con el indie de Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, presentándose el 9 de septiembre del 2017.

Estos fueron algunos gigs que hemos tenido en la ciudad. Esperamos que vengan más bandas a nuestra ciudad en crecimiento. Ya es hora de hacer crecer el flujo de música. En la actualidad, apoyamos a los artistas independientes para salir gloriosos del underground. También, estoy seguro que pase por alto muchas propuestas interesantes que deberían estar en esta lista. No me gustaría que se mal interpretara mi intención. Escríbenos y lo mencionaremos en la segunda parte. Gracias :)
