FANTASTIC!!!!!! You all are going to have a great time together. I beg someone to take a camera and get the waiter to snap a couple group photos and I'll post them right here in this thread. Sound good!? Enjoy, everyone!!

Rkennedy,

Thanks for posting your picture. However, tonight is crowded. What color is shirt?
And which part of the bar will you be sitting.

P.S. I am wearing white pants with printed black blouse. See you tonight!

Have a GREAT time tonight, gang!!!! I'll be with you in spirit for sure.

Congratulations on your successful gathering!! I'm sure it was a blast.Please write it up and offer any suggestions for a yet to happen gathering in NYC. This pertains especially to you MClarke who will be at the NYC get together as well as partying in our Nations Capital tonight.Good for you all.

The first DC Dinner Group was a lot of fun! There were a total of 5 of us in attendance:

- Myself
- Mrs. rkennedy17
- mclarke
- jmcarr
- a friend of mine from High School who is a fellow Spain-lover

Anyhow, dinner was great -- we had a number of different tapas, including croquetas, tortilla espanola, pan con tomate y queso manchego, setas al ajillo, pimientos rellenos, conejo, esparragos, embutidos variados (all of those wonderful cured meats...), and a few others that I've forgotten! We washed it down with some sangria and chatted for a few hours about all things Spain -- it was a lot of fun! The only regret was that nobody remembered to bring a camera.

Next time, hopefully we can get a larger crowd involved and perhaps even make this a semi-regular event?

mclarke & jmcarr: It was a pleasure to meet you & I'm sure we'll cross paths again!

Saludos,
Rob

Any tentative plans for next dinner?. I'll be back from my 2 weeks in Spain July 8 so hopefully I can meet you all sooner or later!!

It was indeed a great tapas night for the DC Metro MM folks. The young folks -- RKennedy and wife, Larry, JCarr made me feel so young and alive. Jaleo's setting was like having tapas in Madrid! Thanks Rob for taking the initiative!

Regards,
mclarke

I'm so happy to hear you all had such a good time. Yes, thanks rkennedy17 for setting it all up. Hope you enjoyed everything. Shame no one had a camera. Oh well. There's always NEXT time!

Saludos, MadridMan
