Question for Candela:
Who the heck is Marta and Pedro? I'm assuming these two particular ones are famous. If not, there must be a few hundred thousand Martas and Pedros running around Madrid. hehehe..
Next time I see MY friend Pedro in Madrid I'm going to treat him like a celebrity and he'll probably quickly back-off. heehehe.. (just teasing)
Well, when *I* was in Madrid last Christmas/New Years, my ladyfriend & I went to the flamenco club
Café de Chinitas and sitting two tables over was one of the hosts, Raymond, of
Univision\'s "Lente Loco" (Latin American TV station shown in Miami, New York, California, & Latin America itself) talk/variety show. (see photos at link above) He's a younger guy about 30-something, short-ish, hip, you know the type. I KNEW I recognized him and then was certain when after the show the Argentinian man at my table got up and asked to have his picture taken with him. He was nice and all smiles (the celebrity was) and, I guess, happy to be recognized in Spain where the show is not televised (I don't think).
UPDATE: We saw this guy over last Christmas holiday in Madrid. Well, according to the Univision website and forums there, Raymond has been "released" and "replaced" by another guy. Poor Raymond. He probably had no idea he'd be returning to Univision without a job.. OR, maybe they just didn't renew his contract.
HERE\'S the Univision thread about the change in "personality" on the show. The network started the thread so, as you can imagine, all the feedback is nearly totally positive for the change.
UPDATE #2: I've updated this posting of mine twice now and, upon reading it again, I find it a real "yawner" and am contemplating removing the entire, silly thing. Well, I'll sleep on it. hehehe.. (I'm referring to MY posting here, not the entire, otherwise interesting, thread)
Saludos, MadridMan
