Chris Garcia came to Austin from the San Francisco Bay Area in 1998, the year of his first heat stroke. As the American-Statesman's movie critic, he is both loathed and dimly tolerated. Sandra Bullock, among others, will never speak to him again. He reads more than he eats, drinks more than he sleeps and breaks too many sticks when he drums.
Frequently using his tattered passport, he hasn't time for a dog but just enough for a rat named Tammy. He bit into the head of a chicken in China and plans to drink snake blood in Vietnam. He is a fervid animal lover.

Round trip to Buenos Aires from Austin is $1,031. The globe-hop is scheduled for Oct. 29 to Nov. 15.
Same dates to Barcelona is $731.
Can anyone convince me of the beauty and glories of Argentina? I’ve been blathering about this hypothetical trip for months and still can’t muster the verve to actually commit. Am I just being namby-pamby?
I skipped my spring trip, pure heresy. I need to get out of here.
