Last night, Kragen, Katrina and I went down to Congreso to see the crowd wait out the results of the senatorial debate for Gay Marriage. Katrina has a friend who was helping with the arrangements for the concert. When I finally showed up, I was let into the VIP section without any questions asked as Kragen met me backstage. It is amazing how easy it is to get into VIP areas here when you are carrying a big camera and have the confidence to act like you belong there. Kevin Johansen was giving a free concert with artist Liniers who was drawing cartoons which were projected on the screen behind the band. Katrina got up on stage and danced, but unfortunately, I didn't get a picture. We have seen Kevin in concert before and he's a really great musician, I like his style.



After the concert, we went into the VIP tent and hung out for a while. I got my courage up and went and chatted with Kevin and got his PR contacts so that we can do an interview/article about him for The Argentina Independent. That should be fun. He was very personable and gave me a kiss as we said hello and goodbye. I love Argentina!



I took a bunch of photos of the crowd and the concert and we left around 11:30 to go back to our place for some dinner. When we finally headed off to bed around 4 am we heard cars honking in celebration. The senate passed the resolution 33-27 with three abstaining votes. The president now has to sign the bill for it to become law and since she has been a vocal supporter of this bill, that should happen any day now. Argentina has done me proud!



UPDATE! I just had a great photo essay published on Matador Networks! Check it out. You can see the photos much larger over there. :D
