Rito de Acero: La union de un pueblo

This is the title of a documentary a friend of mine realized. After a year and a half of hard work he saw his dream become a reality. So us, his friends, had to go to the premier and support him but also enjoy with him his success. We all stayed in a "rural house" in his village, La Seca, which is fifteen minutes from Tordesillas. It was not the first time we visited it, since we usually go every year over there to attend its festivals. We are members of a Peña called Tatocao in which we had good friends. Anyway, that's not the point of this post and I'm loosing focus here. The thing is that we spent an incredible weekend in La Seca.



Of course, the main event of the weekend was the premier of the documentary and it was a complete success. But we had way more fun the next day during the barbecue at my friend's place. His family organized it and lasted the whole day. Great fun! There was time for everything: eating, drinking, karaoke, dancing... When it got dark, we took some pretty big and nice speakers outside to the frontyard and created our very own disco. Some neighbors told us the next day that they could hear the music from the other side of the town, it was pretty sick.

But most important, it was a good excuse to visit my friend, who I don't see as often as I would like. And I believe this weekend they had some kind of party around there as well. I wish I could have gone but I couldn't make it. Have fun guys!!!!!

The Killers in Barcelona

Yes, believe it or not I'm alive. I know it's been a really long time since the last time I wrote something here, but I've been busy as hell for the past month and did not even remember I had a blog to update. I will update you on things I've been doing for the last month and a half in different posts. This particular one is gonna be about the craziest and funniest weekend I've ever had in Barcelona.

I went there in order to see the Killers. We bought the tickets some time ago and were now ready to have real fun. The friends I went with got into Barcelona a day before me, since I could not get Friday off at work. Anyway, I arrived there on Friday night and after meeting with my friends we went out to Razzmatazz disco. It's a pretty big one with awesome music. Great night. I even met some Korean girls who I will see again in May when I go over there, but that's another story I will tell some other day.




On Saturday, I met my cousin who is working in Barcelona and spent some quality time with here. Since I see here quite randomly, it was really nice talking with here. She even invited me for lunch. And at night, CONCERT. It was sweeeeeet!!!!! They started playing Human, and the whole crowd went crazy. All the best songs followed, and they did not missed any of them. I had not sweat so much in my entire life. We bounced, yelled, singed... during every second of the spectacle.



And afterward, we went to a house party of someone my friend knew. The best part was that we did not even know we were going to a party. We thought we were going to that guy's place in order to drink a little bit before going out. But when we got there, we found it was a crowded and weird (in the good way) party. I became the Underground organizer of the party, gaining the name of "Under" for the rest of the night (don't even tell me how I did it or try for me to explain the whole thing because I don't even know for sure myself)



So all in all it was an awesome weekend with lots of partying and fun. I really needed it and I can't wait to my next excursion.
