What a recipe for disaster




(click on the thumbnails to enlarge)
Take one rainy night in Buenos Aires... add a strangely named joint that no one has heard of... or been to... in a part of town where few of us live... sit back and watch NOBODY show up.

But that's not what happened!

A blog studded turnout by any standard is what happened, graced by none other than the mysterious 99 of lalilita.blogspot.com, Malaya and Maya and her husband Tom of Sexy Spanish Club, Holly y su novio Beto y Tobias of Tango in her Eyes, Alan Patrick of buenostours.com, Ken of Un año sin Primavera, Malcolm and Pericles of Greek in Argentina, Kiki from Buenos Aires Daily, Empresario Leonardo Blumencweig, Artist Marina Riscino, Traveller Brendan... and... I can't remember who else (we'll update as memory serves.)

A great crowd even considering those poor souls whom the weather understandably kept away.

Service was excellent at BIG MAMMA'S which has the best area de fumadores in all of Buenos Aires.

I hope to see you all at next year's bash... and sooner.

Thanks to all again,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for organizing what was a really fun event, and even more, thanks for the beer! ;-)

It was a roaring success.

All the best,

Alan

Great fun Mike. Thanks so much. I appreciated the lesson on Argentine ranching/farming and will do my best to eat as much beef as possible before it goes the way of the US....
