Hello Everyone! I am not sure how many of you will read this, but if you do before tomorrow... the dinner has been moved to 10:30pm at La Galette. I hope that this doesn´t throw anyone off. I will be there at ten anyway, just in case some people don´t receive this message. See you all tomorrow...roses.

HAVE A GREAT TIME IN MADRID, EVERYONE!!!!!

I REALLY wish I could attend the party. Someone, PLEASE have a bocadillo de calamares in my memory and hoist (at least ONE!) glass of Mahou beer too.

Hope someone takes photos!!!

Dear Rose: It sounds as if it will be a Great Gathering in Madrid tommorow night. I do wish Kathi and I could be there but alas we had our evening with you. Good Luck to you & Warren and Enjoy.

Well, we had our dinner last night and it was totally interesting. We had a total of 13 people show up... however, only 6 rsvp´d, so I only made reservations for 7. We were able to seat three more people at our table, which came to ten. Then Cheba and Papi showed up, but there was no more room for them at our table, so they had to sit at another table away from us . Then Warren came (last), but Dru had to leave, so Warren took his seat. It was at a very nice restaurant in a very nice neighborhood in Madrid. Although we didn´t really talk about Madrid, we enjoyed sweet conversations about our lives, our future, and our aspirations. We were a really good group. After, all of us, including Cheba and Papi went to a local bar to drink some cool Spanish beer. I, roses, was dared to down mine... get this, I didn´t even throw up. After our beer fest, some of us continued our night on to a nightclub called Gabana, but we unfortunately were not dressed to a T, so we went somewhere else and danced there for about an hour. Finally, we decided to all call it a night, but then Flem decided to try one more club near my apartment on Gran Via called Cool... I guess here we were cool enough to get in, because we were able to walk right in at 3:00am and get free admission, we even jetted up to the VIP room ... it´s amazing that what´s not at some places is hot at others. Anyway, it turned out to be a very nice evening and I enjoyed meeting everyone. Thanks for joining Warren, my friend and not husband (as some had thought), and me for a wonderful night in Madrid. Until next time...roses.

Replay gave me names of many, but thought it would be fun if you all claimed yourselves upon seeing them. After collecting all the names, I'll index them here in this thread.

Saludos, MadridMan (who is oh-so-happy to be "MadridMan"! )

Dear Rose: You are to be complimented on the wonderful job you did in putting your MM.com dinner gathering.Plus it was done TranAtlantic. The reservation situation is sometimes unavoidable and such is the "Foibles" of us all.I am so happy for you & Warren that everything worked out and you all enjoyed a good time.Enjoy Espana & keep in touch. Love Bill Ski

I was so happy to hear you all had a good time at La Galette last night. I was thinking of you all. I LOVED seeing the pictures (and so quickly too!)and seeing the menu for the restaurant..it brought back lots of wonderful memories of when we used to go to La Galette...it looks the same! Anyway...thanks for keeping us all posted! esperanza
