About the location:
This is in (or on the edge) of LATINA, "below" the Palacio Real. Message board member barry wrote: This is a NON-touristy location so it may just be perfect for us... WAIT! We're mainly tourists!!! hehehe.. Oh no!

Unfortunately because of the "renovation" of the Glorieta de Atocha we won't be having the "Party with MadridMan in Madrid" gathering at the famed and favorite El Brillante. <sniff!> This is very very unfortunate and I'm quite disappointed. Believe me! Oh well. Time to try somewhere new.

As usual, I'd like to start at a terraza so we can all sit around and meet. After an hour or so of eating, drinking, and getting to know one another, we'll move on to someplace else and likely visit a few more places for more food, drink, and talk.

I ALWAYS look forward to these annual gatherings but this year has been a bit different what with the recent events in Madrid and Spain. I'd even considered not having it but... well... people are still traveling and maybe the get-together is more necessary now than ever.

See you there, I hope!! Saludos, MadridMan

Hi Madridman! I am pretty sure that PIM and I will be joining you for your soiree!

Will give some thought to possible locations. Have a great flight!

To meet the legend!!! Count me in!

Oh, come on! I look forward to meeting you!

I'll be there

I have a dinner that night but I'll be there with all you thirty minutes at 9 pm.

Pls note places:
El Espejo at Paseo de Recoletos
Cafe de Oriente at Plaza de Oriente

I'm looking forward to seeing you again, ABP!

I had considered El Espejo at Paseo de Recoletos & Cafe de Oriente at Plaza de Oriente but thought they'd both be too expensive but they are great locations. I should be announcing the location tomorrow night.

Saludos, MadridMan

MM:
Did you receive the e-mail I had sent you from my other e-mail address about two weeks ago? It was asking if you'd have time to visit my office while you were in Madrid this time around?

By the way, I hope to be able to join this party with MM, but can't stay late since I have to be up early on Saturday morning to take my son to his chess tournament!

Location decided!! (see above, first posting) Woo Hoo! Now I can relax. You can be sure I'll check it out beforehand, "test" the food and drink (with pleasure!), and see if I can reserve a few tables for that night.

Can't wait to meet many of you whom I don't already know and anxious to see those whom I do know. See you there!

Saludos, MadridMan

I don't know when you're getting into town Madrid Man, but it might be a good idea to see if we can reserve tables in advance and cut some deal with the bar. I'll stop by and ask if you want. Let's just hope it's not pouring rain that day!
