Expats Cocktail Party

[rosieposie]

After getting together in several restaurants and not always having the chance to meet everyone or chat ,we thought of a different concept: Expats cocktail Parties.
For those who still want to vote go ahead: propose a place or an idea for the next event.
This one will be fun, it's for the "young and younger" - for those who like to linger on, the place doesn't close until you drop. Great food, music and an enviroment set for every taste. Everyone is welcomed bring friends along, also post this event on other sites . It's time for us to really get together and have a blast!
So you missed out on a lot of Spring day parties? get ready for spring has just begun!!

Great idea and I congratulate you for breaking out of the rut of those sterile dinners. At the last dinner I had the misfortune to attend, two old fogey "expats" were already at a separate table before the other expats arrived; they then joined their small table to that of the main group, placed their order, finished their meal, paid their bill separately, and buggered off. Call that a social occasion?
If I may be bold enough to venture an idea or two, I might suggest some game -- something to break the ice -- say Charades or Cluedo; dunno... anything might do. Just an idea. Don't know if it'll work.

Big Bad Wolf: Actually, that is a great idea!!! Thanks. Every idea is always worth a try- that is if it has some common sense.
Thanks for your compliment and your input.

Just a reminder that the YESBA cocktail party is another good way to meet people. No entrance fee, but you pay one price for unlimited wine (bodega 33) and empanadas. it was 10 pesos last time i went. probably went up. anyway, its a good mingle party.
Also, the Gibraltar pub in san telmo is crowded 7 nights a week. i live a half a block away, so i know. Plenty of expats to meet, and argentines as well. they have happy hour until 10pm. 2 pints for 8 pesos. prices are quickly rising in BA so maybe it will be more soon.
Both these options are cheaper than 25 pesos, for those of you on a budget.

I am sure that the pubs you mentioned are fine however we believe that BAexpats are special and we'd really like to see a good turnout for Friday's party. $25 pesos is about $8 US dollars and includes very good food. Hope to see you there!

Guess I'll just show and reference my user name if need be.

Thanks.
