Pictures, please!

I'm waiting too...

Hi!

Madridman, Becks has expressed my exact sentiments (just forgot to ad that the fact that we had gone out the previous night due to a previous appointment didn't help either ). I'm truly sorry I missed the party , and that a few people I was going to "bring" 'se rajaron' as well. But I'm really glad you had such great time and that the location suited the occasion! So...when is the next one?

Barry;...."You're the top! you're the Coliseum, you're the top! you're The Louvre Museum,...."
(Mman, as you can see, we share a common admiration for Mr. Byrne....)
I miss a lot seeing you around the 'barrio' lately guys!

Saludos,

p

hey Madridman...have you forgotten the pictures ( and your thoughts about your trip...whether it be a diary or not...)We are all dying to hear from you!! Remember...

DOH! No, I haven't forgotten but it was a very busy weekend so I didn't get around to it then. Okay. I PROMISE (write it in stone) to post some party photos tonight. TOP PRIORITY. Sorry for the delay.

There won't be a journal this time as I had no extra/free time to write while there. I have already posted my "review" of my daytrip in Segovia. Did'ja see that?

Saludos, MadridMan

Thanks MadridMan for hosting the annual party and for your incredibly informative website. Hello to Barry, Pablo, Dean, Julio, Patricia, Susana, and Rosa who helped to make my first visit to Madrid so memorable. It was everything I expected and so much more...can’t wait to come back. When is the next party?

As promised, here we gooooo! I'll place those names I can recall. Please, those whom attended, add your names and I'll edit it as we go. The photos used below are "email-size" photos and not the full sized ones (which are about 150kb each while the small ones are 15kb each). You may click the accompanying link for the full-size photo is you like.

In all, we had about 33 people attending the "Party with MadridMan in Madrid" and we had such a good time. In fact, as I mentioned before, I had SUCH a good time I broke my own exit-time record for these parties by three hours, staying until 3:30pm!! There were still about 8-10 of the group still at the last bar too!

CAN YOU BELIEVE I DON'T HAVE A SINGLE PHOTO OF MONGO!!!!!!!????!?!?!!?!? How is THAT possible???!

Thanks for the great photos, I was bummed that I didn't bring a camera to the MM party. Corrections: the last photo is me, Judy, (not Patricia. Susanna and Patricia are in the earlier photo you labeled the lively ladies from Southern California.) and Dean, not Dennis. Hello also to Andres, Antonio, Luis and Rafael who I missed mentioning in my earlier post.

Hi Judy S.! Thanks so much for the names and name corrections. I'm sorry I mis-labeled you.

When's the next party? Well, I'm guessing there will be a few more there in Madrid WITHOUT ME (hmph! ) before I throw another one. I'd like to think I'll have these things monthly. What better way to socialize with both Spaniards and NON-Spaniards?

What fun we had at the last party. Can't wait for the next one.

Saludos, MadridMan
