SPECIAL: Casa Patas Photo Gallery by Omid Maleki


An evening at Casa Patas (in Spain) by Omid February 4, 2005

Hi Miguelito:

This is Omid, from San Diego. I hope you are in good health. About three days ago, I came back from Spain. As usual, I have pictures to share with you. In Sevilla, I went to Bernal guitar shop, which is run by Valerino's Nephew Antonio Bernal. And, of course, we talked about you. (He asked me to give you his regards.) I really did not want to buy any flamenco guitar, but I seduced myself to buy my first Bernal flamenco guitar, Model 1a, which is a new model that has not been introduced to the market yet. It sounds fantastic and feels very comfortable. I have some pictures of Antonio included in this email. In one of the pictures, he is putting the finishing touches on the guitar I bought. Other attached pictures are about a horse show from Jerez in Madrid at Plaza Mayor. It was very interesting to see the dancer dance flamenco with the horse. I will send you more pics later. Feel free to publish any of the pics in your website. Have a good night. Viva DCFlamenco!

Sincerely,
Omid

Dear Miguelito:

These are pictures I took of a flamenco show at "Casa Patas" in Madrid. What brought alot of Madridians to the show was the 10-year-old female dancer. She was great. What was crazy about that night was that the show started at 12:00 AM, ended at 2:00 AM, I stayed at the tablao drinking in excess, by 5:00 AM I left the tablao and went to the airport to catch my flight back to San Diego. Have a good night.

Sincerely,
Omid
