Barrio Fiestas

[James Hubbard]

Hi!
I am just trying to get my head around this.... I have 2 questions, and I am sure it's easy for some of you to answer (please)

( 1 ) I assume that the Barrio Fiestas take place every year in the summer? Are there any other occasions?

( 2 ) Are there any links online that would have a list of all the Barrio Fiestas? Next year when the Mrs comes here, if I knew all of them, then we could do the full tour of all of them in the car! Road Trip, letting the Mrs see the whole country plus having lots of Pinoy fun for her


I hope to hear soon from someone in the know


Thanks in advance

There is a link and i have seen it on here and will have a butchers. Most are spread thoughout the summer and then in the winter and valentine there are plenty of dinners and parties throughout the country.

Found it well one im sure there are a couple of sites which have calendars on them

But make sure you keep a close eye on whats happening on each one as politics seems to affect the running of some of the fiestas from what i read between the lines which can lead to them being cancelled or schedules and line ups changing at short notice

thanks for the fantastic useful information SB

and they will never ask your age...as long as you pay the entrance. Not like the english club. Ive been kicked out few times they thought i was under age?
...

[James Hubbard]

hahaha, yeh right, that's what I thought when i read it haha


anyway ....


yeh, in Birmingham I was delined entry to some bars, even though i had a huge wad of cash in my pocket, coz my shoes were the wrong colour!

I WAS IN MY WORK CLOTHES! lolz

the shoes were formal but tanned in colour!

Well ... it just so happened that I was a regular there, so ... regular talks to manager, ... bouncer never seen again hahaha! maybe now he's door supervising at DV8

oh and ........

before i get into this rant .. my dad was a security guard ...

but ....


security personnel always seem to have this complex where they take their jobs WAAAAYYY to seriously! Maybe they want some kind of super duper respect or something???????

I think that they think that with the uniform they look like police so they think they have the authority of the police (but with no maturity)

POWER TRIP

lolz


anyway ....

I shall now resume scheduled programming
