from Lawrence, Sunday PhiloMadrid meeting: Prohibition (of happiness)+ NEWS

Dear friends,

This Sunday we are discussing "Prohibition (of happiness)". An apt topic given the prolonged
duration of the recession or the so called economic cries. If one was weak minded one might think
that the whole crisis was a set up for the powers that be to take advantage of the precarious
situation people might find themselves in. Nothing makes people happier than prosperity and fairness.

In the meantime:

Oscar has asked me to circulate details about his new project; he wants to start a small vocal group
and he send sent me these details. If you are interested please send me an email and I'll forward it
to Oscar:
I'm trying to create a small group of vocal music, to sing popular music, just for pleasure. Just 4
o 6 voices.

I need a Bass voice (male) to complete the 4 voices.

We intend to sing just for pleasure, as I told you.

The group is to play songs by Beatles, Flying Pickets, Lucio Battisti,...

Better if the Bass lives in the North of Madrid, because for the moment the rehearsals would be in
my house.

----Lunch at the Segoviano----
1) Last Sunday we discussed the possibility of organising a lunch at the centro and I asked Encarna
for details. However, we still have to organise the date so you can think about this lunch and find
a gap in your busy diary. I also have a pending appointment at the hospital and won't know the dates
until next week. What is sure is that we start lunch at 3:30pm and then start the meeting as usual.
In the meantime we can think about the menu:
-Starters (frituras variadas), Entrecot o Cochinillo con ensalada, Postre- cafe-bebida. 25 euros per
person.
-Alternative option 1: fish or vegetarian but you will have to speak to Encarna about this, I've got
her number so please ask me or her when you come to the meeting. 25 euros per person
-Alternative option 2: cochido completo (plus the extras above) 20 euros per person.
(Looking at the menu you might think this is a challenge to this week's subject, but I am assured
that the food is very good!!!)
