Melbourne: Meet with a Difference
April 20, 2017, 10:45:42
This weekend I'm lending my support by playing Flamenco guitar for our dance troupe at the Paella Festival at Vic Market, so that would be an i30 Owners Club meet a little out of the ordinary. Plenty of paella and sangria to go around for those who want to make a lunch of it.
The floor show will be free ... seriously, would I expect you to pay to see me?

Sounds like a fun day out, too far to go though, have fun.
Paella & Sangria in large amounts, a recipe for a headache and an overworked exhaust.

The irony is that I'm a gym junkie, all protein, no carb kinda guy, so I don't indulge.

More Irony! Gonz's better half Elena is a big fan of Pete and his paleo diet...

Nothing wrong with that. My brother has diabeties, and has seen massive benifits from following a paleo diet. I found keeping trim much easier when I cut bread from my diet too....

Funny how that happened. I came back from Afghanistan having spent the deployment on all protein / no carb and Elena was annoyed at having to cook for two different types of diet.
Fast forward a few months and people around us are using labels such as Atkins and Paleo and she's a bigger paleoite than I.
I don't use the label but that's pretty much how we've lived for several years now.

Sorry, I didn't take photos but I'll see what I can find online. We've got another gig there in about a month.

I wasn't fretting.
We got complimentary paella and Estrella Damm beer (yeah, I know, but I made an exception). Nicest part was enjoying it with the dancers in the group, all lovely girls in their 20s.

Missed it this time, but will try for next time. I'll make a point of dropping past the forum to find out when. We have Spanish friends and I would walk over broken glass for a good paella. Love a bit of flamenco dancing too.

Well, that seals it. If putting on my black and whites and dragging a guitar out on stage is what it takes to meet Kitti, I'm in.
I'll be sure to announce the specific weekend.
And happy birthday, Kitti.

Hi, Kitti.
Both, which means I'm going to abandon my cadets as they attend the 75th Anniversary Commemoration of the Battle of the Coral Sea at the Shrine on Sunday.

I'll see what I can work out.
Family will be at the footy on Saturday, so I'll just need to organise myself. No promises, but I give it a crack.

Well, for what it's worth, Saturday we'll have two girls dancing but Sunday as many as six, so that's probably the show we'll stake out with several Go Pros for some creative video work.

Saturday is more likely.
Believe me you don't want me to frighten the crowd away by trying to flamenco.
