A double-barreled party at the ICBIE on the night of 30 May ’08: barbecue, guitar, jolliness and a lot of chatter, in many different and grotesquely mixed up languages, to send Marlene off on her trip (she’s already in Italy, by now) and to celebrate Marcella’s birthday (and we’ll diplomatically leave the number unsaid…).<\/p>\n
How can you describe the vibe of such an occasion? You can’t do it, except to say that geography is annihilated, language is a superfluous detail, and the differences only enrich the mix. Time passed at a pace that was laid out by the sound of Jura\u00e7i’s guitar and the rhythm of Mary’s Timbale, upon which we all…some better and some worse, tried our hands as makeshift percussionists, and therefore were able to feel a bit like artists, forging the beauty of an evening like that. A lovely evening, tranquil and full, like many others here, for which I’d like to say a few thankyou’s and comments:<\/p>\n
First of all, thanks to Jairo, for cooking the barbecue… otherwise, with empty stomachs, no one would have had any fun.<\/p>\n
Thanks again, as always, to MAMA LOU, for her famous cooking.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Jura\u00e7i, for the guitar, and to Marlene, for the classy and emotional singing that hypnotized us all.<\/p>\n
Thanks for the boys and girls of the Italian class, for their beautiful messages in Italian, written on Marcella’s card (tastefully designed by Amalia, with recycled materials).<\/p>\n
Thanks to Jodson for mixing up the great capirinhas (Marlene….n\u00e3o \u00e9??????)<\/p>\n
Thanks to everyone for the party, the precious smiles and laughs.<\/p>\n
And now we can turn to the birthday girl:<\/p>\n
Thanks to Marcella, for her universally recognized dedication, and compliments to:<\/strong><\/p>\n her great boyfriend…who added a splash of color to our table by sending a bunch of flowers from Italy. (Because we have to confess that, in fact, Marcella put on the party only in order to show off the flowers; and we have to say it because…if Italian men are romantic cavaliers…as far as I’m concerned…when I’m traveling around the world… I like to brag about it)<\/p>\n Compliments <\/strong>for the warmth that everyone showed her (because she clearly knows how to earn it)<\/p>\n And compliments<\/strong> (together with Cinzia) for giving such a genuine demonstration of the Pizzica Salentina dance, knocking the table I was sitting on and launching me into space.<\/p>\n And finally, compliments <\/strong>for having read (from the card) the name Bogus instead of Bigode. Too bad that Bigode’s signature (I promise you it’s perfectly readable) was right under his original sketch of his trademark FROG! AS IF BOGUS<\/strong> IS FAMOUS FOR HIS FROG….PAINTED ON WALLS ALL OVER THE CITY!!!!!<\/p>\n … come and join us… because we’re happy here….<\/p>\n Giovanna<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dupla festa ao ICBIE na noite de 30\/05\/2008: churrasco, viol\u00e3o, alegria e bate-papo, em muitas l\u00ednguas diferentes e misturadas uma com outra, para desejar boa viagem a Marlene (que agora j\u00e1 est\u00e1 em It\u00e1lia) e para comemorar o anivers\u00e1rio de Marcella (cuja idade diplomaticamente deixamos n\u00e3o dita …).<\/p>\n O que dizer sobre a atmosfera que reina nessas situa\u00e7\u00f5es? Nada, sen\u00e3o que a geografia n\u00e3o existe, a l\u00edngua \u00e9 um detalhe de pouca import\u00e2ncia e a diversidade enriquece a todos. O tempo \u00e9 passado com um ritmo todo seu, pontuado pelo som do viol\u00e3o do Juraci, e pelo ritmo do \u201cTimbale\u201d da Mary … em que todos, quem melhor … quem pior, n\u00f3s improvisamos percussionistas e n\u00f3s sentimos um pouco artistas, forjando a beleza de certas noites. Uma bela noite, serena e rica, como muitas aqui, por isso eu gostaria de fazer alguns agradecimentos e algumas notas<\/p>\n Agrade\u00e7o, antes de tudo, Jairo, por ter cozinhado o Churrasco … caso contr\u00e1rio, de barriga vazia, ningu\u00e9m ia gostar.<\/p>\n Agrade\u00e7o, como sempre, m\u00e3e LOU, por a sua famosa cozinha.<\/p>\n Agrade\u00e7o, Juraci para o viol\u00e3o, e Marlene para a gra\u00e7a com que ela cantou e nos deixou hipnotizados.<\/p>\n Giovanna<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n Doppia festa all\u2019Icbie la notte del 30\/05\/08: churrasco, chitarra, allegria e tante chiacchiere, in tante lingue diverse e mischiate grottescamente tra loro, per augurare buon viaggio a Marlene (che ora \u00e9 gi\u00e1 in Italia) e per festeggiare il compleanno di Marcella (sulla cui et\u00e1 taciamo per delicatezza…).<\/p>\n Che dire dell\u2019atmosfera che si respira in queste occasioni? Niente, se non che la geografia non esiste,la lingua \u00e9 un particolare di pochissima rilevanza, e la diversit\u00e1 arricchisce tutti. Il tempo \u00e9 trascorso, con un ritmo tutto suo, scandito dal suono della chitarra di Jura\u00e7i, e dal ritmo del \u201cTimbale\u201d di Mary,…sul quale tutti,…chi meglio e chi peggio, ci siamo improvvisati percussionisti e ci siamo sentiti un p\u00f3 artisti e fautori della bellezza di certe serate. Una bella serata, serena, e ricca, come tante altre qui, per la quale vorrei fare alcuni ringraziamenti e note<\/p>\n Grazie, prima di tutto a Jairo, per aver cucinato il Churrasco…altrimenti, a pancia vuota, non si divertiva nessuno.<\/p>\n Grazie, come sempre a MAMMA LOU, per la sua famosa cucina.<\/p>\n Grazie a jura\u00e7i per la chitarra, e a Marlene per la grazia e il trasporto con cui cantava e ci lasciava ipnotizzati.<\/p>\n Grazie ai ragazzi e le ragazze del corso di Italiano, per aver scritto bellissimi messaggi in Italiano sul biglietto di marcella (sapientemente ideato e realizzato da Amalia con materiale di riciclo).<\/p>\n Grazie a Jodson per capirinha che era molto buona (Marlene….n\u00e3o \u00e9??????)<\/p>\n Grazie a tutti per la festa, i sorrisi, e le risate, che tanto valgono.<\/p>\n E adesso veniamo alla festeggiata:<\/p>\n Grazie al Marcella<\/span>, per l\u2019impegno che tutti sappiamo, e complimenti per:<\/strong><\/p>\n il suo fantastico ragazzo…che ha colorato la nostra tavola inviandole dei fiori dall\u2019italia. (e lo dovevamo dire…perch\u00e9 Marcella la festa l\u2019ha fatta, in realt\u00e1 solo per mostrare i fiori; e lo dovevamo dire perch\u00e9…..se gli uomini italiani sono Cavalieri e romantici…a me…quando sono in giro per il mondo….piace vantarmi di questo)<\/p>\n Complimenti <\/strong> per l\u2019affetto che tutti le hanno dimostrato (perch\u00e9, evidentemente sa come guadagnarselo)<\/p>\n E complimenti <\/strong> per aver, insieme a Cinzia, dato una sapiente dimostrazione della Pizzica Salentina …travolgendo il tavolo….su cui io ero seduta….con conseguente lancio e quasi caduta della sottoscritta .<\/p>\n Complimenti infine<\/strong>, per avere ,nella lettura del biglietto…letto Bogus, al posto di BIGODE……peccato che la firma di Bigode (vi assicuro ben leggibile) era sotto un disegno da lui stesso realizzato,che…chiaramente.. ……..venite….perch\u00e9 qui si sta bene…….<\/p>\n Giovanna<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A double-barreled party at the ICBIE on the night of 30 May ’08: barbecue, guitar, jolliness and a lot of chatter, in many different and grotesquely mixed up languages, to send Marlene off on her trip (she’s already in Italy, by now) and to celebrate Marcella’s birthday (and we’ll diplomatically leave the number unsaid…).
