Post title: Such a unique opportunity!

Happy to be amongst all of you! I do regret I had to skip the dinner, as I would have loved to chat at greater length.

I also very much enjoyed a couple of para-powwows in Madrid (coffee with Cindy Chadd) and Barcelona (dinner with Madeline, Ruben and Pablo).

More than ever feel blessed to be a part of this community.

Cheers from sweet home Chicago :)

Thanks everyone for your feedback and encouragement. It was great to put faces to names, and I left with a better understanding of our vibrant Barcelona / Sitges community. So while it was productive, I also wouldn't mind catching one of the Barcelona "informals" someday.

Thanks again to Pablo and the Sitges crew for handling the venues. And here's to the xato and Catalan cream!

I am so glad to meet so many Prozians in Sitges. It was a wonderful event because of so many great members who came and also because of a great organization by Pablo and Berni. Thank you to all.

It was really a great event. Be looking forward to seeing you again sometime soon. And less formality and more peanuts and drinks.

It was terrific for me and my wife as well to put faces to names, and to have such a good time talking to new people. The web's an incredibly good thing but still comes nowhere near to the real world, I might think.

Thanks to all who turned up and made this an unforgettable event. Many thanks also to Pablo, Roser and anyone else who contributed to organising the powwow.

On a different note - Ceci, have you realised that there's a "Parrot's Pub" just off "Los Vikingos"??

Is this why it's called powwow? It was really amazing. I'm glad to have met you all. When's the next one? And in Girona? Count me in!
I apologise because it was so late I could'nt stay for dinner. Next time I'll do, I promise!

Sorry I had to leave but my wife and 13-month old daughter were walking around Stiges and it was time to leave. It was a pleasure meeting you all, and AnneM I think it would be a great idea to meet again. Never been in Girona myself. Thanks again.

you all too, and I'm only sorry I couldn't stay for longer, or talk to some of the faces I discovered behind the names during the presentations (!) (Thierry, Sean...) If there is interest in a more "informal" pow-wow come spring, I could organize another one up Girona way...

Still in Barcelona - having a look at ProZ from an Internet cafe (and struggling with that Spanish keyboard) - I was glad to meet you all and I hope to see the pictures soon. I hope that your wife feels better now Berni.

....compared with other powwows I have attended. But perhaps that will have suited people better who feel that powwows are too informal ;-) - We msut cater for every taste in this life, huh?

I enjoyed meeting you all and I am sorry I had to dash away from the meal. My wife had a temperature and was coping alone with our whirlwind of a five year old daughter.

Hope to see many of you again on site and in person at future events.

Cheers,

Berni

PS As soon as I get my photos resized, etc. I'll post a note here.

I think it would be a good idea to book our dinner earlier, say around 20:00. That's closer to a European time, and will definitely allow leaving on the last train after a little bit of "sobremesa". I'll have to take this train BTW, my girl's flying early on Monday.
