You can count me in for the meet on any day, at any time and at any place - only give us some advance notice!
Hi Tony and the others coming/already in:
We're planning for a Dec 21 lunch-time meet up at Clube Vasco da Gama, run by Ernesto. We plan to meet there by 12 noon, chat and bit and then go over for lunch.
This venue was suggested by Mario Fernandes of Vancouver, who's already in Goa. Am grateful to him. Not only does it have the reputation for a good ambience and menu, but we might actually convince some of our members that the Goanet admin team wasn't born with pathologically anti-Portuguese genes. Viva! ...(Oops! This must be the effect of Iffi on me.)
Eugene Correa is in town and phoned me from Bogmalo. I caught Eddie and Lira trying to smuggle their 'delegate' car into the Kala Academy the other day, and threatened to write about it on Goanet (after all, what would life be without all the controversies?) Unfortunately E+L have to leave on Dec 19. Silviano Barbosa is threatening to release a book shortly, and has commissioned me (surely a bad choice) to scout around for a chief guest.
Prof Mascarenhas is down from Tanzania, in Quepem, but would be leaving soon. Christine Pinto is coming from Down Under, and I'm her postbox for awhile. _VM_ was motivated enough to shift down to Goa -- bag, baggage and family -- so we have him kind of captive here. Then there are all our home-grown, based-in-Goa Goanetters, starting with old faithful Tony Correia Afonso. We do hope that both Aires Rodrigues and Maria Rodrigues will show up too ;-) Cecil, Miguel... anyone within 40,000 kms distance of Goa.
Have I missed out anyone on the list? Vivian(a) is coming in Jan; and so is a surprise guest whom I'm not allowed to spill the beans on. If you're coming down to Goa, and want five seconds of instant fame, just email me your details. FN
