Color me sentimental...

...but all this talk about reunions made me remember that amazing video Guillermo created and I thought it should be here.

Summer Reunion 2007 - who? when? where?

REUNION in Barcelona, Fri 29 June - Sun 1 July
are there any objections? or can we start looking for cheap flights? :-)


(Please indicate your preferences or suggest alternatives by Sat, 17 March.)
Ok, Saturday has come and gone. And since two thirds of the people have voted for the second option, both "publicly" and "anonymously" (in the BlogPoll), I guess we will be meeting on the weekend of 29 June - 01 July.
As for the cities (Rome or Barcelona), as far as I know few people have voiced an actual preference, and when they did it was Barcelona.





WHEN?
Option 1: Fri, 15 June - Sun, 17 June
1. Charissa
2. Tomasz (this date is my 1st preference, as 29th June -1st July I wanted to go to Polish Heineken Open'er Festival... but... if you guys are all coming to BCN at that time then I will stay in BCN and join you :-))

Option 2: Fri, 29 June - Sun, 1 July
1. Mellie
2. Vesna
3. Jens
4. Christian

Summer Reunion 2007

Last update: 5th March
Please scroll down for Reunion updates and contributions!


Hi guys,

Sorry for not writing for ages and ages and ages. I've been super busy with school work (graduating in December) and I was recently in Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) for a short conference, and later in NYC for a 3-day vacation. Check out the photos from Harvard below! NYC photos to come soon (Jen, I DID in fact touch the bull's balls in tradition of getting good fortune. My friends were somewhat not as amused as I thought they would have been. Though the tourists around me were! *LOL*).

Anyhow, I will be in Europe for about 3 weeks (tentatively the dates are 18 June to 5 July)... and I would like to propose a summer reunion in 2007 in either Spain or Italy!


Is anyone interested and available during this period?
Any ideas/comments on where we could meet for about 2-3 days at least?
What are your available dates?

Let me know! Email me at ngmelissa[at]gmail[dot]com or just skype me whenever you catch me online. :)

I'm really excited to meet up with some of you again this summer!!!

PLACES
What is hot this summer in Europe? Cities, Parties, Festivals, everything you can think of:
- Sonár Festival (Barcelona): 14 - 16 June
- Heineken Jammin' Festival (Venice): 14-17 June
- Nova Rock Festival (Nickelsdorf, Austria): 15-17 June
- Donauinselfest 07 (Vienna): 22 - 24 June
- Heineken Open'er Festival (Gdynia, Poland): 29 June - 1 July
- Rock Otočec Festival (Slovenia): 5-8 July
- Exit Festival (Novi Sad, Serbia): 12 - 15 July
- Seasplash Reggae Festival (Pula, Croatia): 19-21 July
- Festival Internacional de Benicàssim (Spain): 19-22 July

and since Mellie said Spain or Italy - Rome is always beautiful and exciting, with or without festivals :-)

Update from Mellie (5 Mar):
Hi guys! As Sylvia mentioned, it's probably best to pick the dates first. Whether or not we manage to get a festival would be dependent on those dates, and I suppose even without one, we still can party right? ;)

For myself, the best dates for me will be anytime between 28 June and 5 July. Sorry I realise it's a very small time frame, but I have already planned on going to the Greek islands with my girlfriends from 18-27 June. Coming earlier is abit tricky because my friend's wedding is on 16 June. =P

So let's see how it goes. Does anyone have any "preferred" dates also? Please email me! We can try to work out a compromise!
