EXPAT BLOG party - 11/09

Post new topic

CatrionaM

hi everyone!
i'm proposing another meeting for all those in barcelona that are looking to make friends. some people already met in july and i heard that they had a great time.
how does everyone feel about Saturday 11th september? one member even suggested we meet at his house but if thats not possible what about just meeting at a pub? the george payne irish bar is good for ex-pats. its right beside urquinaona metro station.
im willing to do any co-ordinating that needs to be done.
right, thats the ball rolling. post on to share thoughts or confirm that youre coming.

We should check if the bars are open... 11th sept is a holiday! I don't think it we'll be a problem if is an Irish pub :D
Me and and some others from Expat.com met in July, it was fun!
Hope to see lots of people there!
Ciao

Ooh, I must look here more often - any road up, ( I tried to explain this phrase to a Spanish friend last week),  hopefully catch up on the above date...!

CatrionaM

Hey everyone,

That sounds like a good plan Caitriona.  I will be around and if you want any help planning it, let me know.

Chat soon,
Brenda

CatrionaM

quick update. i emailed my friend at the george payne bar and she says that they will be open. it is a public holiday but she reckons most touristy bars and cafes will still open.is 8pm ok for everyone? i think ill make a sign or something so everyone knows who to look for. either that or ill do a little dance to attract attention. good times.
brenda, do you fancy meeting for a cup of coffee before hand?

JPope

8pm is fine with us.

gaudi

Sorry, will be out of Spain till the 16th of September, but still interested in future meetings.

GuestPoster6741

Caitriona, Yeah that suits me.  Will chat to you offline beforehand.

Brenda

CatrionaM

hi everyone! neil and I have settled in nicely in our new apartment. The only thing missing is internet access so I write this from a cafe across the road. Looking forward to Saturday. Diddly, good thinking about it being in the back. Whoever´s there first, try and get the big round tables. I´m going to make a sign saying ´Expat.com party!!´or something. Sohel, I dont think there´ll be much of an agenda apart from maybe drinking beer and having fun!
See you all soon! Yay!

b_c_n

Hi Everyone!
I might be coming with one or two friends, really nice people!
Looking forward to meet you all this saturday!
Adéu!

GuestPoster6741

See you all tomorrow!!

chimes

Guess what I forgot about? Damn. Oh well. Next time. Hope it was good! This site really should alert you when posts have been made... (I AM subscribed, btw - just rarely get alerts).

NicoBcn

I really wanted to come too, but I wasn't in good shape yesterday . I'm sorry. I hope there will be other events pretty soon :)

Seb67

I was there but I did not find you guys ... I didn't see any sign and I didn't want to ask every table if they are from the Expat.com :p.

GuestPoster6741

The meetup was a great success!  Disappointed to hear that you were there Seb and didn't manage to find us.  Lets try to organise another one soon.

b_c_n

Yes it was pretty fun! :D
I don't know if you feel like going to a concert for the BAM?
25th september, Belle & Sebastian in the old Estrella Damm Factory.
See you!

chimes

Yep, I'm going to this...!

JPope

It was a good night, although all those who left before about 3am missed out on my scintillating rendition of Parklife - I'm looking at you person who went for a smoke and never came back :p

Seb - we were in the big room at the back to start with, but then we ran out of table space and we moved upstairs. Sorry you missed us, see you next time?

As for Belle & Sebastian - I'm in! Maybe someone should start a new forum thread about it.

diddly6969

when´s the next one!!!

CatrionaM

Hi everyone! Yes, it was a great success. All down to me. haha! Yes, J, I know I´m a dirty runner. I just couldnt face fighting my way back into the club after Id escaped. Never mind.
So, where are we going next and when?

diddly6969

Hey had lunch with the Pope today (that is john and monika!!!) and we were talking about maybe doing a picnic on the beach one sunday lunchtime before it gets too cold, but people bring their own sandwiches etc., (bit of a botellon really) waddya think?

shaka1976

Sounds good to me!!

CatrionaM

Hi Diddly,
When you do fix a date and location, could you start a new post with it in the subject. We'll stick that topic on top of the forum!
Cheers
