Hey all,
I just had an idea: each week if you want to go out in Madrid on a Thursday, just say so on this topic and we can arrange a place to meet!

I'm on for going out tonight....

Regards, Martin.

Well, i am going out tonight, with some friends, and are going to dance salsa at Randall.

are you inviting me?

Yes, if you like this kind of music. But, itseems that another person in the group prefers O'Zona, so we will go there about 12 PM (also a salsa disco).

How about a bi-weekly (or monthly) gathering for all MadridMan Madrileños that can include kids? Hubby, our 14 month old doodlebug and I will be in Madrid August 19th, staying for a year. It would be nice to be able to hang out with other MM aficionados. We can discuss him and never ever ever post our deep psychoanalyses of his relationship to Madrid!

I will be in Madrid around the 26th of August and would enjoy having some tapas or beverages with some of the people here in the group, which I find extremely helpful for my ingorance in Spanish knowledge! Keep on posting so I can follow what is happening.

Me apunto! Después del día 15 de Agosto!

I will attend those meetings if I can

Good idea, thursday is my favorite night.

Martin R.J. Cleaver, WOW! First Thursday nights and NOW Wednesday night too (see other thread, group)!? WOWEE! You are one party animal! Hehehee... Enjoy yourselves! I'll be attending one of these months myself. That'll be fun!

Venue for tonight: Palacio Gaviria .
Time: 10:30pm.

Tickets are almost free if you get them from Forocio (at STA travel, Plaza de Sol) beforehand.

Meet in the cafe directly opposite, but leave message on this board to say you are going to join us and I will send you my mobile number.

What is Palacio Gaviria ?

[ 07-19-2001: Message edited by: MadridMan ]

Aha. Palacia Gravia (name might be wrong) is a nightclub. It was an old palace building and is situated between Sol and Opera.

All on one floor, it has three dance areas and three bars plus lots of space to hang out and talk.

The dance floors are techno/dance spanish pop and spanish couply type dances.

And I *like* it, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

Hello,

I will try to reach in time.

It is Palacio Gaviria.

Arenal Street, I think. In the Sol Metro station everybody knows it.

I can't make today but feel free to organise amongst yourselves, rest assured everyone I have met or talked to (5 people) is really very nice!

(Next Wednesday I am on for, for sure)

Its that time again!

¿Anyone on for joining me tonight?

I thought we´d meet up about 11pm, stay out til 1:30. Find some bars or discos (I hear the word Nightclub has a different meaning here in Madrid!!)

Salud, Martin.

Martin,

I'll e-mail you right now about the meeting.

Night-club's meaning would be ambiguous, but Club (when speaking of somewhere you go at night to have fun) use to be understood (not always) as 'whorehouse'.

Now that gives a new meaning to the old club house us boys had when I was a kid...

Here we thought we were being naughty by lighting up a couple of cigarette butts, and reading Shel Scott mysteries by Richard S. Prather.

Wolf (Who musta been a sheltered kid, at least until he discovered girls.)

Hey Martin R.J. Cleaver! Are these gatherings still going on or have they kind of dissolved?
