"La Fiesta en Medellin" FRIDAY 25TH, ROLLLLLLLLL CALLLLLLLLLL!

ALL PHB members and friends are invited to the first annual Medellin Traveler party in Medellin, Antioquia - Colombia! This is a great way to meet others who share the same interest in promoting the postive side of Medellin, whether you're a tourist, foreigner living in Medellin, or a Paisa, EVERYONE is WELCOMED to attend the festivites. This is NOT a crazy frat party with prepagos, that's another party, which I hope they don't forget to invite me.

hmmmm, so let me try to understand the site.

1) three sections to sit in (with shade/without shade)

2) tiered payment system for the bull rounds (corridas - odds & evens)

3) separate fee for festival (what is it?). separate fee for novillada (what is it?)

** can anybody elaborate? it looks pretty steep if you want to stay for the entire show.....

pedro says on Jan 20, 2008, 19:51:

Tejas,

On any given date there are 6 bulls. One particular day is the novillada (junior bullfighters who are not big names). Looks like on the "festival" day they have 6 bullfighters each taking one bull. On the corrida days, you have 3 bullfighters who take 2 bulls each.

Corridas 2,4,6 are slightly more expensive because on those days you have bigger name bullfighters appearing.

If you want to try a better and still cheap Italian beer, go for Moretti.
But, as already said, Italy is not famous for beer.

...." Medellin Traveler - I wanted to ask you a question? I think you having these parties are great and awesome idea? Did u start this awhile back..."


Mike.........I can answer that for you......... M.T's parties are famous in Medellin. He has been organising them for years. He buys all the beer , wine, wiskey, rum...........huge quantities of drinks. He also pays to have a renowned Colombian chef flown in from Cali. This guy produces an amazing meal for all of us. M.T personally goes to the fresh vegetable market to select the veggies. His chef picks out all the meats and fish. It truly is a wonderfull feast.

When it is all over he gets a couple of Italians to clean up the mess.

First thing I want to say, Maimi Airport SUCKS! We are supposed to be living in a world class country, but I've had better experiences at airports in third-world countries! You guys don't know how irate I am, but after reading RAAAY's post answering Mike19's question, I feel much better.

Medellin, 7 HOURS!

I drank all the beer! BURP!

Sorry RAAAY! Hope you keep a secret stash for emergencies, because I believe we may have a problem.

tejasmarcos, too much walking! What a dump of an airport! I was speaking to some of the employees here and they agreed when I told them what I thought of Miami airport.

I agree that miami airport is a shithole. I go to south beach miami twice a year and going through that airport is the worst thing about the trip. The lines are huge at all times with one worker at all terminals.

Darn! I was planning to be there, but I guess I'll stay home instead.......

I'm glad to hear that Raay and Med Trav will be doing some street performing, juggling, etc. to pay for the food and booze. But after all those steaks, chops, papas, beers, and cocktails, I usually want something sweet. If there is any way you guys could stay out performing for an extra couple of hours you would then be able to bring some cake and ice cream.

Well thank you GL for saying that BsAs wouldn't have been fun without me. I'm sure you boys would've hit the bars and strip clubs had I not been there, and maybe you guys would've made friends with some Argentine women too. But of course, if that wasn't your motive for coming to Argentina, then I guess I wouldn't have been "cramping your style" too much.

Hope y'all are having a great time at the party!
