It's a shame you can't attend, Anchovy Front! I'd be honored to meet you next month over some fried squid rings and a cold beer. :p

You'll find the names of the attendees in the thread " Well? How was the Bar Brillante party?? ". In that thread, you can also see a (washed out) photo of Antonio (Right), Replay (Rafael-Left), and me (center).

Of active members whose names I can remember, only Antonio and replay were there. Nuria, from Hostal Lopez, was there too. The others had seen the posting/notice on the website.

The honour would be all mine, MM. I will make a point of having calamares and cerveza on the 29th and raise my glass to you all! Point your private jet south and come and visit us on the coast one day!

Hola a todos,
It looks like this year I won't be able to make it to Zaragoza to spend X-mas time there with the 'abuelitos' :((I'm changing jobs this very week!) so....I guess I'll be joining you at El Brillante, along with one of my best friends, Dorene from Ohio; she and her boyfriend will be visiting around that time. Dorene left Madrid a year ago after having spent here five years!, sometimes I feel that in some ways she's more 'madrileña' than me! (so she's sort of a....MadridWoman, ha,ha!)

Anyway, it's too bad nobody's been interested in a "thanksgiving get together". And I'd like to wish those of you in America or anywhere who'll be tasting that delicious turkey, etc....HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

BTW;
El Brillante=The Shining
How scary, ha,ha!!!

saludos,

Hi MadridMan,

This sounds pretty good! Thanks for the invite! I'll try to come and bring along my (Spanish) wife and say hello and see who are all the rest the MadridMan crew is...

See you on the 29th.

Alas we wont be in Madders till February so we wont be able to join you.However , if whoevers buying the beer wants to get me one in Ill be sure to pick it up then!

Well Madridman, it looks as though I will be joining you guys in Madrid this New Year's. My Italian Stallion is no more. In fact, I have been praying for my time here in Rome to go by as fast as possible. Time is up tomorrow morning. Heartbroken in Roma...well, ce la vie.

Adios...roses.

Roses,

Take heart! There are many chavales guapos in Spain!

Don't worry Roses. You're in good hands with all of us. You're sure to have fun at the MadridMan Party at El Brillante.

By my rough count we have about 13 confirmed attendees so far, maybe more, and that number will surely double by the date (Dec.29th). Should be fun.

By the way, I may have mentioned it above, but just so it's clear , I'm only "arranging" the gathering and NOT buying drinks or food. Thanks for understanding. Sorry! MadridMan is not MoneyMan. :p

Saludos, MadridMan

Hello again MM
We would like to be there the 29th if I understand whats happening. Our concern is that we are planning on checking into the condo on Ibiza the 30th 4pm and don't have any idea on how to get there from Madrid. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ted

Hope to see you at the "Party" theobear! For transportation info, try the "Transportation" forum and use the SEARCH link using IBIZA as your keyword. If you find nothing, post your own topic in that forum. See you on the 29th!
