At least the GOA London has kept the festival going but the GOA Toronto had to
cancel Viva Goa for various reasons.
As for Melwyn's assertion that Meniono de Valpoi that he has taken the "time
off to give factual coverage." Melwyn is forgetting that Menino needs to do
something to boost the number of visitors to his website, Niz Goenkar. .
Remember, Menino isn't doing a favour.
----------COMMENT-------------
I have had the pleasure of attending one of the Viva Goa events. It was held at
the ex-Bombardier hangars. Super-warm as it was at the venue, I enjoyed it very
much. I commend anyone who offers to organise such large events. It does take
quite a bit of personal time and effort to make them happen. I also commend the
GOA in London for organizing the annual there.
Wrt Menino de Valpoi, I agree with Melvyn. I add my Thank You to him for his
video-input.
Life is often like a village football game. We have 22 players on the field and
a 'stadium' load of spectators. Many of the spectators come, enjoy the game and
go home. There are a number of non-playing experts and then there are those
recurrent hecklers and assorted disordeiros. We would do very well by
appreciating the players. But for them, there would be no game.
Have a good morning, all. On this side, we were expecting Cristobal to blow
some heavy showers on us. Fortunately, it is traveling northward a good 300
miles due east of us. We invite most storms to stay away from us.
BTW: unless Cristobal fizzles out in the next 48 hours, the UK should expect it
make its presence felt this weekend or soon thereafter ( a la Bertha).
