European Tribune - Comments - Thursday Open Thread

Thursday Open Thread | 59 comments (59 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

It's one of the two holidays in this town: their lady of Carmen. The socialists are sponsoring a street party with grilled sardines and sangría, where I'm supposed to show, but I don't know for what.

It's not an appealing combination, but it should be fun.

Re: Is it Thursday? (4.00 / 2)

Well, the food doesn's sound to tempting to me, but the rest could be fun - so I hope you enjoy yourself.

Re: Is it Thursday? (none / 1)

We were spared the sardines, but had chorizos, blood sausage and panceta on the grill. Very good.

Then I got to draw beers at the young socialists stand until midnight in a park concert, until the loud fireworks started and we got out of there.
