So, the World Cup is over, we lost, it’s cold, and everyone seems to hate Argentina these days — or at least that’s what algorithms are constantly pushing into our phones. Good news is we can still play another national sport, this one called fingir demencia (‘just pretend you’re insane’), act like none of that actually happened, and carry on with our lives — especially our weekend.
This one in particular is expected to be both chilly and filled with entertaining options, from film programs to a literary party in Chacarita, jazz and pop legends playing, a citywide cocktail festival, and a slate of food events.We didn’t get to bring the Cup home, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good time. And, as always, the Herald’s got you covered.
