How far is Blackbeards from Hotel Del Ray and the other stuff?

I was thinking about staying at Blackbeards, then can always take a trip to Hotel Del Ray?

that would be 1805.7 kilometers or 1122 miles to the North East, but you'll have an unbelievable lot of trouble finding a cab that will take you there.

I do not remember a Blackbeard's in SJO. One exists in the Costambar section of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, though. If you desire directions to that one, let me know.

Prolijo,

I was just kidding about the tickets. I dont think I would do that.....but it would be nice to get some support from my fellow gringos, to have a house party.

I think it is somewhat of a trust thing. Guys here just dont know me, and therefore perhaps dont trust coming out for something like that.....plus as you say, perhaps my timing was off some with not too many guys being in SJ before Thanksgiving.

I may try to have another one on Thanksgiving weekend, and also try to get the word out more.

I did list it on the CRT board....but did not have any response for there.

I have a new local girlfriend now who is tica, and is a registered nurse and a paramedic here in one of the local hospitals.
She says she is in love with me after only 7-8 days, and is crazy about sex with me.....so all is not bad with things here.

I think I will build up a core group of perhaps 2 to 3 gringo friends whom Ive met here, along with their girlfriends.....and when the weather warms up some, we should be able to have some nice.....very private parties at my house.....with skinning dipping in the pool, food, drinks, music, and lots of fun for all.

I guess I dont need to expect to entertain all the forum guys (gringos) at my house. And perhaps I was overexpecting things quite a bit, when I thought that I might get perhaps 20 or so guys and 20 or so girls to come out for a party on SUNDAY afternoon.....in the middle of Nov.

I will scale back things for the next fiesta.........

Lets hook up (you, me and some gals, of course) when you get back down to SJ.

Steve,

I think you meant well. As when I first read your post I thought it was some type of scam. Then you stayed with it and it look like you were really trying to get a party going. It seems you got lucky really. What if 20 or 30 guys did show up and you only had 2 girls. In my view like any bar that is first starting. Some of the moves you need to make. Pussy, pussy, pussy brings guys. Ladies drink free nites, no cover for the ladies, these are moves that new bars use so maybe you need to do the same. Where do bars like sportmens, hotel and others get the girls for special events those hotel m girls I see in the photos are girls I don't see in the gulch. Anyway if you throw one of these when I am in town I will be there.

You may have better luck trying it again over Thanksgiving weekend for your re-kickoff weekend since a lot of guys, especially the single ones, come down then to take advantage of the 1-2 days of paid time off during that week. The Sportsman's usually has a Thanksgiving dinner during that Thursday afternoon that you probably wouldn't want to compete with but I bet a lot of guys would be interested in a pool party that Saturday. Don't be afraid to expand your market to CRT and give them enough notice this time around. Once you get yourself established you can probably expect better turnouts relative to this past one but I wouldn't shoot for as many participants as you were unless its a holiday weekend with extra guys in town. Except for Thanksgiving weekend where you might be able to pre-sell a fair amount of tickets and other such occasions, I'd scale back your preparations to more like 6-10 guys and a similar number of chicas at best. But that is just my humble opinion.

Hey,
My little swaree (sp) was not much of a success. Only three people showed up. One gringo, and two girls. But we had fun nevertheless.

Guess there is a trust thing that goes on in foreign countries.
People dont know me.....and therefore no trust....that sort of thing.

I spent about $ 150.00 for groceries and beer, and such....with most of it leftover.....but I will be eating well for the next week or so.

I guess I will just have to spend the time at my $ 300,000.00 manshion alone with my girlfriend....who is a registered nurse and paramedic here in San Jose.

Oh well........I was kind of tired of humping around the Del Rey anyway.......

I may think about another party later....but will perhaps sell tickets to the next one......to cover my ASS with the expenses.

Pura Vida

If my little house party is successful today......with some chicas coming out as well as some gringos....then yes, we may well have other weekend parties.

I am going to the super market now to buy groceries......I just hope that I dont have to personally eat all them for the next couple of weeks.....that we actually have some folks come out today.

PM me later.....or call me 876-2715

Steve

So did did the party go?

Steve,

I will be in sjo from Nov 29 to Dec. 4. Any parties then?

Dick

[Stevewxly]

Pro
Thanks for the kind words. My only objective for this party is to put some other people into this great house for a few hours to party and have fun....besides me.

Wish you were going to be ín town for it. If this one turns out well, I plan to have a similar fiesta about every weekend for a few weeks.

Thanks, Steve
