SPN - Spielberg loves Tintin

2011-10-23T09:21:00.001+02:00

Steven Spielberg has told Sky News how much he loves Tintin as his film of the Belgian character is finally premiered. The director, at the world premiere in Brussels, says he never gave up on the project despite it taking 28 years to complete.

Tintin's creator Herge said 30 years ago that Spielberg was the only man to bring it to the big screen. And now, with the help of Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson and £82m of special effects, he has done exactly that.

Spielberg told Sky News: "A lot of my movies have taken a long time for me to get around to making them but I have never done a project that has taken 28 years between a time that I first optioned the story and the time the movie finally came to the screen.

"It is only because I loved it so much that I wasn't willing to give up on it. It just took a long time to find the right medium to tell this story in." Asked why he was so found of Tintin, he said: "He is a tenacious adventurer and he's a reporter that puts himself in his own stories. "It's not that he comes from any place of ego, it's just that he gets accidentally involved in the crimes he's solving and the mysteries he's trying to uncover. "He gets in trouble and he's got all these crazy exotic characters that get him into even more trouble."

The Adventures of Tintin - The Secret of the Unicorn aims to create new fans of the boy reporter with the trademark quiff and Snowy the dog. It tries to bridge the gap between the comic and the big screen by using a similar technique to that used in Avatar.

Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell portrays Tintin in the film, which also stars Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis. They had to adapt to acting in a studio and wearing special suits which registered their movements. This data was then transformed into a computer-generated, three dimensional image of the character. "It actually becomes like a rehearsal stage, like you are rehearsing for a play you will never put on stage," Bell said.

Spielberg told how he spoke to Herge shortly before his death in 1983 about adapting his creation. "He was a big fan of Raiders of the Lost Ark and actually on the telephone said he wanted me to adapt his books into movies," he recalled. "It was one of the most exciting phone calls in my life."

Asked what drives him to keep making films, the director said: "I just love movies, I love telling stories. "When I'm not making movies, I'm telling my kids stories. I'm going to do it one way or the other."

SPN - Spielberg Tintin Interview

2011-10-10T11:06:00.001+02:00

New Steven Spielberg Interview by Martyn Palmer

'I was struck by Hergé's illustrations. Without knowing one word of the language, I understood the whole story,' said Steven Spielberg of Tintin. I don’t speak or read French. In 1981, when I saw a review of Raiders of the Lost Ark in a French magazine, I didn’t understand what any of it meant. But I could see one word all over the place: Tintin. So I got the review translated into English, and in a very nice way it said that Raiders was a homage to Tintin’s creator, Hergé.

It suggested that I must have read all of the Belgian artist and writer’s books. In fact, I’d never even seen a Tintin book in my life. So I asked my assistant to go out and buy me a Tintin story, and she chose The Seven Crystal Balls. It was in French – they weren’t translated in the U.S. then – but even though I couldn’t read the text, I was struck by Hergé’s illustrations. They were so evocative of storytelling, plot and character relationships that by the end, without knowing one word of the language, I understood the whole story. I bought all the Tintin books.

I discovered that Tintin is a tenacious young discoverer and investigative reporter. His passion to achieve or uncover a mystery inspired me. I admired how nothing will stop him, and how he has this amazing relationship with the most unlikely partner, Captain Archibald Haddock.
Together they’re the yin and the yang: Tintin is the straight man, Haddock the fall guy – he’s the one who gets cold and drunk and lights a fire in a lifeboat, not realising it’s going to burn a hole in the boat and they’re going to sink. Hergé’s sense of humour was very close to slapstick and the silent movies. The detectives Thomson and Thompson are comedic characters, a double act like Laurel and Hardy.

I said to Kathy (Kennedy), my fellow producer, ‘We’ve got to make this into a movie. Where do we start?’ Kathy said, ‘We start by meeting Hergé.’ So I called him, and we had a wonderful conversation. He told me that he loved Raiders, he said I was the only person who could turn his adventures into a motion picture, and he invited us to meet him. Only a few weeks later he passed away, and I was absolutely devastated. That was in the early Eighties. At the time I was intending to make Tintin as live action – perhaps with Jack Nicholson as Captain Haddock. Roman Polanski, an old friend of mine, was going to come on board and direct one of the films. But I always say, if it’s not on the page, it’s not on the stage. I just couldn’t get the screenplay right. So I let the rights expire. It wasn’t until 2001 that I suddenly had an epiphany about how to make Tintin the movie and the whole process started again.

This time, Tintin was to be animated with the aid of motion capture (recording actors’ movements via sensors and using them to animate 3D models on a computer), combining live action and animation. With this method, I was confident that after four minutes of the audience wondering what genre this was, they would forget the medium. It would be like when I saw War Horse on the London stage. There were four puppeteers around each horse and the horses weren’t even realistic – they were impressionistic. Five minutes into War Horse, I stopped watching the puppeteers and I only watched the horses. Six minutes into War Horse, I saw real horses; there were no puppets.

It all comes back to the story and how you involve an audience in your storytelling, how you get them to forget where they are, who’s sitting next to them, they’re in a movie theatre or even that there’s a special effect. They’re simply transported by the experience. I am very nostalgic. I can’t help myself – it’s a wistful moment we all experience where we yearn for a return to our childhoods. If you’re not nostalgic, I don’t think there’s a pill you can take. You are or you aren’t.

For Tintin, 3D was right, but I have strong feelings about the medium. It isn’t right for every film. I would love to see David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia in 3D. But not Brief Encounter 3D! There are certain movies where 3D gives depth and breadth to the experience. There are other films where 3D removes the intimacy.

When it came to producing Tintin, I wanted Peter Jackson on board. I’m a big fan of his; he has invented some brave new worlds. The first time we met was in front of 800 million people – I opened up an envelope, took out a card and said, ‘And the Oscar goes to…’ And I presented Peter with Best Picture for his third Lord Of The Rings movie. The second time, I didn’t take the most honest route. I didn’t know if Peter had any interest in Tintin, but I commissioned his company, Weta, to do the original motion-capture test to show what Tintin and Snowy would look like. When the film came back I saw a perfect Snowy dressed up in a Captain Haddock costume! I guessed that I had got Peter at least halfway pregnant, so I called and popped the question. Would he be interested in producing the first Tintin movie with me, and, if successful, directing the second? He said, ‘You should see what’s behind me right now. I’m sitting in front of the entire Hergé library containing every single Tintin book.’

Ours was collaboration unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before – except perhaps with George Lucas. It was a real brotherhood. I had no ego. Peter and I shared all major creative decisions, starting with the scripts through to the 31 days on the motion- capture stage and beyond.
Peter is based in Wellington, New Zealand, so we had a live feed between us, and there he was on the television screen in front of me every day. It was usually 3am New Zealand time, so he would be in his pyjamas – him and Hugh Hefner! – mug of tea in hand. I wish there could have been a fly on the wall listening in on the conversations going back and forth between our offices, with us trying to get an exact match for the colours that Hergé used on his palate, trying to pick out minute details that the audience would never even know about, not just to honour Hergé but to represent his world in a photorealistic way. We were sensitive to the diehard fans from the very beginning of this entire endeavor, and throughout every day of the shoot.

For the movie, the Hergé estate gave permission to combine several stories – Red Rackham’s Treasure and The Secret of The Unicorn, already companion pieces, and The Crab with the Golden Claws – so I could show audiences how Tintin and Captain Haddock first met.

Now it’s down to the public to say what they think of Tintin. Who knew anybody would like Jaws? I was 27 years old, I went 100 days over schedule, massively over-budget and I was roasted by the studios, who called me an irresponsible young film-maker. It was a debacle. Who could have guessed the public would embrace Jaws the way they did?

SPN - Tintin Trilogía

2011-02-01T17:05:00.001+01:00

Toda esta aventura empezó a principios de los ochenta. "No conocía nada de Tintín hasta el día en el que, en 1981, leí las críticas de Indiana Jones y el arca perdida con Harrison Ford, que comparaban a mi película con un tal Tintín...". El recuerdo es de un tal Steven Spielberg. Y es importante, porque aquel hombre intrigado por el reportero del tebeo más famoso del mundo ultima, junto al realizador Peter Jackson, la primera entrega de la trilogía sobre el personaje. Se llamará Las Aventuras de Tintín: el secreto del unicornio y será una adaptación de dos álbumes de Hergé: El secreto del unicornio y El cangrejo de las pinzas de oro.

El realizador estadounidense descubrió aquel 1981 las aventuras del intrépido periodista, poco conocido en EE UU, y se puso en contacto con su autor, el belga Hergé, para pedirle los derechos cinematográficos. "A principios de 1983, cuando me encontraba en Londres rodando mi segundo Indiana Jones, tuve el honor de entrevistarme por teléfono con Hergé y su mujer Fanny". La pareja invitó a Spielberg a visitarles en Bélgica y acordaron reunirse unas semanas más tarde. Pero la reunión nunca tuvo lugar. El dibujante murió el 3 de marzo de 1983.

Son recuerdos recogidos en una entrevista exclusiva publicada ayer en un suplemento especial del diario Le Monde sobre una película que se estrena en Europa en octubre de 2011 y en diciembre en EE UU.

Spielberg explica en el diario parisino que el proyecto quedó paralizado porque no lograba dar con el guión apropiado y que con el tiempo sus gustos fueron evolucionando. "Mis películas empezaron a ser un poco más serias, con temáticas más adultas, menos familiares". Fue pasando el tiempo hasta que un día, una conversación con su productora de siempre, Kathleen Kennedy, hizo volver a nacer el proyecto. "Empezamos a evocar los buenos recuerdos del pasado y de lo que nos habíamos divertido trabajando en los álbumes de Tintín (...). Y de repente, emocionados, ¡nos decidimos a volver a comprar los derechos!". A través de DreamWorks, el realizador volvió a hacerse con todos los derechos en 2002.

Otro aspecto que dejó el proyecto aparcado fue la falta de medios tecnológicos para dar con la estética adecuada al recrear el universo del dibujante belga. "Temía poner trajes a los actores, de estilizar los decorados y de hacer una película que describe un mundo que no existe". Ahora, el realizador cuenta con el apoyo de Peter Jackson, realizador de la trilogía de El señor de los anillos, coproductor y coguionista de la serie y que dirigirá la segunda entrega de Tintín.

Ambos directores utilizarán la tecnología del motion capture, inaugurada por Robert Zemeckis con el Expreso Polar y perfeccionada en Cuento de Navidad. Con esta técnica los actores interpretan sin ropa y con captores en el cuerpo que permiten grabar sus movimientos. A partir de ahí se reconstruyen los planos y se añade la estética de cómic, lo que permitirá "honrar el arte de Hergé, su tono, su paleta de colores, sus personajes", explica Spielberg. "Son artistas los que van a dibujar el arte"
El británico Jamie Bell, de 23 años, conocido por su interpretación en Billy Elliot, será el encargado de interpretar a Tintín. Contrariamente a lo que se ha rumoreado, el reportero lucirá su característico tupé. El último James Bond, el también británico Daniel Craig, interpretará a Rackham el Rojo. Andy Serkis, el Gollum de El señor de los anillos, se meterá en la piel del capitán Haddock.

Precisamente para poder presentar desde el comienzo a este personaje, es por lo que la primera entrega, realizada por Spielberg, combinará El secreto del unicornio y El cangrejo de las pinzas de oro. Para la segunda entrega, Jackson está considerando adaptar Las siete bolas de cristal, aunque todavía no es definitivo. "Voy a volver a leer todas las aventuras de Tintín durante Navidades y tengo que decidir antes de Año Nuevo", explica. "Para la tercera, me gustaría utilizar uno de los álbumes en los que va a la luna".

SPN - La historia de Tintin

2010-11-28T17:38:00.001+01:00

La Historia de Tintin

Las aventuras de Tintín es muy posiblemente la más influyente serie europea de historieta del siglo XX. Característica del estilo gráfico y narrativo conocido como 'línea clara', fue creada por el autor belga Hergé (Georges Remi) en 1929, y está constituida por un total de 24 álbumes (de los cuales el último, Tintín y el Arte-Alfa, no llegó a terminarse).

La primera de las aventuras de Tintín, la controvertida Tintín en el país de los Soviets, se publicó inicialmente en Le Petit Vingtième, suplemento del diario belga de orientación católica Le Vingtième Siècle, a partir del 10 de enero de 1929. Posteriormente, las aventuras de Tintín aparecieron en otras publicaciones, como el diario Le Soir (durante la ocupación alemana de Bélgica, entre 1940 y 1944), y el semanario Tintín.

La última aventura completa del personaje, Tintín y los 'Pícaros', apareció en 1976. Todas las aventuras del personaje fueron después reeditadas en álbumes, que han sido traducidos a numerosos idiomas. Varios de estos álbumes han conocido sucesivas ediciones. A partir de La estrella misteriosa (1943), los álbumes fueron editados siempre en color, y se emprendió la tarea de colorear también los álbumes anteriores de la serie (a excepción de Tintín en el país de los Soviets). Las nuevas ediciones afectaron en ocasiones al contenido de los álbumes.

Cine

Se han hecho varias adaptaciones cinematográficas de la serie, tanto en dibujos animados como en cine de imagen real. Las dos películas producidas con autores reales, Tintín y el misterio del Toisón de Oro (1961) y Tintín y las naranjas azules, fueron desarrolladas a partir de guiones originales y no de los álbumes de la serie. En su producción no intervino personalmente Hergé.

Por el contrario, todas las películas de animación, con excepción de una (Tintín y el Lago de los Tiburones), son adaptaciones de los álbumes de la serie.

El célebre director estadounidense Steven Spielberg adquirió los derechos para el cine de las aventuras de Tintín en 1983, aunque de momento su proyecto de producir una trilogía de películas de imagen real sobre el personaje no ha llegado a materializarse en el cine.

SPN - The Brandery 2010. New Exhibition Areas

2009-12-13T13:57:00.002+01:00

"The Stadium" will be the sector at The Brandery showcasing the leading current sport style brands. Other attractions will be various performances by skateboard, BMX bicycle, streetdance and parkour specialists and an exhibition of snowboards decorated by well-known tattoo artists.

The Brandery, urban and contemporary fashion fair, which will be held in the Fira de Barcelona's Montjuïc exhibition centre from the 27th to the 29th of January 2010, will feature "The Stadium" which will showcase the latest in sport & street fashion, that is, sport style adapted to urban fashion.

The Stadium will house exhibitors of action sports, sport style, technical fashion and street culture. Music, art and sport will be highlighted with a specific space for each area: the Skatepark space will host exhibitions of the best skateboard and BMX specialists, in which teams of the different brands will be participating; the Expo Snow Tattoo area, dedicated to art, will feature an exhibition of snowboards customised by internationally renowned tattooists; and lastly, in the Streetdance space, visitors will be able to enjoy dance performances of parkour (a sport based on overcoming urban obstacles such as stairs, railings, etc) and demonstrations of the most avant-garde streetdance currents.

A New Deal for exhibitors and visitors.

The show proposes a new trade fair business concept, called New Deal, which draws inspiration from the economic measures introduced by the U.S. president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, after the 1929 financial crash. The Brandery's New Deal supports exhibitors with initiatives such as the "Hosted Retailers" plan, which offers free hotel stays for guests, and the "Brander Reward" plan by which brands will be given "branders", discount vouchers exchangeable at the July 2010 show in recognition of their promotional actions.

Visitors will also be able to take advantage of special conditions in various airline companies and register through the "free readers accreditation" plan offered by the sector's leading magazines.

Reference for the Southern European market.

The Brandery continues its progressive consolidation as the Southern European market's reference, and has the advantage of being located in Barcelona, one of the most dynamic Mediterranean capitals in terms of design, art and creative talent, and because it selects tailor-made products of retailers from Mediterranean countries, conditioned by the climate and cultural currents of this geographical area.

In this sense, according to Pere Camprubí, director of the project "we do not wish to be a global show, on the contrary, we wish to reclaim the traditional trade fair format, creating the ideal space where it is easier to establish personal relations and contact between client and brand, with pre-selected supply and demand to give all our participants optimum responses with speed and agility".

Data on the 2009 first edition.

Organised by Fira de Barcelona with the support of the city's council, in July 2009, The Brandery featured 113 brands and received 9,715 visitors.

The next edition will be held in halls 6 and 7 of Fira de Barcelona's Montjuïc exhibition centre and will double the area used in the last show. The show, which is still fully engaged in its marketing process, has the confirmation of 126 brands, including Custo Barcelona, Armand Basi, Sita Murt and Desigual that are repeat exhibitors.

The trade show is structured into four areas: The Fira, the exhibiters' area; The Brandtown, with bars, restaurants and chill-out areas; The Laundry, the "ideas lab" where presentations and conferences will take place; and The City, with activities linked to fashion and the trade show taking place all around the city of Barcelona.

The Fira itself is divided into four sectors according to product type: The Cathedral, for designers with their own label; The Loft, for brands with a distinct design or trend-setting component; The Warehouse, for denim-based brands; and The Stadium, focusing on the world of sport & street wear.

PARA EMPEZAR LLEGUE LA NOCHE DEL 19/10/2009 EN MELBOURNE. SENSACION MUY ESTRAÑA PARA MI VOLVER A TENER CONTACTO OTRA VEZ CON UNA GRAN CIUDAD, EDIFICIOS GRANDE, MUCHOS COCHES, MUCHISIMA GENTE…….TODO MULTIPLICADO POR NO SE CUANTO!!!! FUE MUY IMPACTANTE.

PASADA LA NOCHE DECIDI DE TIRAR POR LA ISLA DE TASMANIA PRIMERO.

LLEGADO A TASMANIA, PRECISAMENTE A LAUNCESTON, ALQUILE UN COCHE PARA RECORRER CUANTO MAS ESTA ISLA.

AQUÍ RECORRI TODA LA PARTE NORTE-ESTE DE LA ISLA, EN 5 DIAS, PASANDO POR MUCHOS LUGARES Y LLEGANDO A FIN A LA CAPITAL, HOBART.

DE CAMINO, CONDUCIENDO, TE CRUZABAS CON LOS CANGURITOS, RIZOS Y MUCHISIMOS POSSUMS ( UN ANIMAL QUE ES UNA EPIDEMIA EN AUSTRALIA Y QUE LLEGO HASTA NEW ZEALAND ). LA VERDAD NO MUY COMODO PARA MI AL CONDUCIR QUE ESTABA TODOS MOMENTOS PREOCUPANDOME EN NO LLEVARME ALGUN ANIMALITO POR DELANTE.

Y ASI FUE,POR SUERTE!!!! MISSION CUMPLIDA Y NINGUN BICHOS MATADO, AUNQUE HABIAN MUCHISIMOS APLASTADOS POR OTROS COCHES…….

ESTA ISLA ES UN INCANTO PARA MI. LA DEFINIRIA COMO UNA GRAN MONTAÑA CON CASCADAS Y INMENSOS VALLES DONDE TEMINABAN EN LA MAR JUNTOS A LAS MARAVILLOSAS PLAYAS DE HARINA, MAS QUE ARENA.

TODO ESTO SE PODIA ADMIRAR TODO CONJUNTO Y CON LAS OVEJAS Y VACAS EN EL PAISAJE.

MUCHAS NATURALEZAS Y CALIDAD DE VIDA ASEGURADA.

ME GUSTO PRACTICAMENTE TODO, PERO HAY ALGUNOS LUGARES QUE SIEMPRE PARA MI GUSTO DESTACARON MAS QUE OTROS: FREYCINET PENINSULA, ST. HELEN Y HOBART. LA PRIMERA POR SUS MAGNIFICAS PANORAMICAS QUE TE INMERGIAN EN UNA MANTA DE MIL MILLONES DE TONALIDAD DE VERDES HASTA LLEGAR AL MAR. LA SEGUNDA POR SUS PRECIOSA BAHIA DE FUEGO ( ASI SE LLAMA ) DONDE TE PERDIA EN LA INMENSA PLAYA BLANCA RODEADA DE VERDE. LA TERCERA, MAS CIUDAD, POR SUS PRECIOSAS CASA Y ADEMAS TIENE UN MERCADO PRECIOSO DONDEES IRRESISITIBLE A NO COMPRARTE NADA, AUNQUE SEA UNA TONTERIA.

TERMINADO LA ISLA DE TASMANIA VOLVI A MELBOURNE.

MELBOURNE ES UNA CIUDAD MUY BONITA Y DONDE LAS ESTATISTICA DICEN QUE ES LA 5ª CIUDAD DONDE MEJOR SE VIVE AL MUNDO.

PARA MI ES UNA CIUDAD MUY EUROPEA Y UNA MEXCLA DE ANTIGUO Y MODERNO.

EDIFICIOS GRANDES, MUCHOS PARQUES, MUCHOS EVENTOS ARTISTICOS, UN PUERTO MUY BONITO Y MODERNO AL MISMO TIEMPO, UN PRECIOSO SUPERORGANIZADO MEGAMERCADILLO Y UNOS CENTROS COMERCIALES QUE SE INMERGIAN POR LAS CALLES ESTRECHAS DE LA CIUDAD. DE VERDAD UNA PRECIOSIDAD.

ESTUBO TAMBIEN AFUERA DE LA CIUDAD, UN PUEBLO SURFISTA LLAMADO TORQUAY.

AQUÍ, PRECISAMENTE EN BELL’S BEACH ( UNA PLAYA ) RODARON ESCENAS DE LA PELICULA DE SURF CON PATRICK SWAYZE Y REEVE KEANU “ POINT BREAK”. ASI ME ANIME A SURFEAR UN POCO. PERO NI SI QUIERA, DEPUES DE TANTO REMAR CON LOS BRAZOS PARA ALCALZAR LA HOLA, PODIA LEVANTARME EL LA TABLA POR FALTA DE FUERZA EN LO BRAZOS. ME REIAS MUCHO DE ESTO Y QUE DESASTRE. AL FIN LOGRE ALGO, PERO FUE PURA DIVERSION!!!

SOBRE MELBOURNE TAMBIEN TENGO UN PAR DE ANEDOTAS PARA CONTAROS DE LA POLICIA CON LAS INFRACIONES; SI TE PILLAN SIN CASCO NO TE MULTAN, TE DESINFLAN LAS RUEDAS Y UN DIA VI A UNA PERSONA QUE LE HABIAN PARADO Y ESTABAN DESMONTANDO LAS MATRICULAS POR ALGUNA INFRACION QUE HIZO,NO SE CUALA ESATAMENTE………IROS A SABER PARA QUE………

BUENO, CREO HABEROS CONTADO ALGO SOBRE ESTOS DIAS Y ASI ESPERO RESCRIBIROS MAS ADELANTE.

UN SALUDO A TODOS AHORA DESDE LA TIERRA DE LOS CANGUROS!!!!!!!

SPN - The Brandery Overview

2009-07-11T12:23:00.003+02:00

The Brandery, new contemporary urban fashion show, organised in the Montjuïc exhibition centre by Fira de Barcelona, fulfilled expectations and brought in 9,715 trade visitors from the fashion sector. The 113 exhibitors, 45% of which were foreign, attracted many national and international buyers; mainly Italian, French and Portuguese distributors and retailers interested in the spring / summer 2010 collections.

The majority of participating brands have already confirmed their presence at the winter edition which will be held at the start of next year. Other firms, absent at this first show, have already expressed their intention to take part in the January 2010 edition, which confirms the fact that the event was well received by the fashion sector. In this sense, Fira de Barcelona's director of Expansion who is responsible for The Brandery, Pere Camprubí, said that "exhibitors and visitors have expressed their satisfaction with their participation in a show which has fulfilled our set expectations of quality and results" he added "we are already preparing for the next show in January, at which we expect that the number of exhibitors will increase significantly, and that it is on its way to becoming a benchmark event Europe".

The first edition of The Brandery was structured around four major areas: The Cathedral, The Loft, The Warehouse and The Outerspace. The Cathedral showcased pieces where the designer name is the determining factor, The Loft presented specific groups of garments; while The Warehouse featured Denim and The Outerspace focused on street-wear brands and the world of sneakers. The show also provided the setting for two exhibitions: Sneaker Expo, with over 700 collector sneakers, and an exhibition of photographs by Karl Lagerfeld to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Barbie doll.

The Laundry provided a space for debate where experts analysed fashion trends and the fashion business and the different ways of innovating in economic, marketing and design aspects.
More than just fashionThe ambience at The Brandery was one of the characteristic traits of this new show. The design of four areas in Montjuïc's Hall 7, the choice of beautiful locations, such as the Mies van der Rohe pavilion, the setting for The Laundry, music from various DJs and outdoor chill out areas all combined to give the new show a distinctive personality.

The spirit of the show was projected beyond the confines of the exhibition centre through The City, a programme which took place in different areas of Barcelona, extending The Brandery effect by means of a number of initiatives linked to shops, exhibitions and performances throughout the city. The support of the Barcelona City Council and the sector contributed to maintain the city as a European reference in urban fashion.

SPN - The Brandery Overview (Spanish)

2009-07-10T10:20:00.005+02:00

The Brandery, el nuevo salón de moda urbana contemporánea organizado por Fira de Barcelona ha cumplido con las previsiones y ha reunido en el recinto de Montjuïc 9.715 profesionales del sector de la moda. Los 113 expositores presentes, el 45% de ellos extranjeros, han atraído durante los tres días del evento a un buen número de compradores nacionales e internacionales -principalmente italianos, franceses y portugueses - distribuidores y retailers interesados en las colecciones para la primavera-verano de 2010.

La mayoría de marcas participantes ya ha confirmado su presencia en la edición de invierno que se celebrará a principios del año próximo. A ellas se sumaran otras firmas, ausentes en esta primera cita, que ya han manifestado su intención de participar en la convocatoria prevista para enero de 2010, aspecto que certifica la buena acogida que el salón ha tenido en el sector de la moda. En este sentido, el director de Expansión de Fira de Barcelona y responsable de The Brandery, Pere Camprubí ha asegurado que “expositores y visitantes nos han manifestado su satisfacción por participar en un salón que ha cumplido con los objetivos de calidad y resultado que nos habíamos marcado” y ha destacado que “ya estamos preparando la próxima convocatoria de enero, en la que prevemos un significativo incremento de participación y ser referentes del mercado europeo”.

En su primera convocatoria, The Brandery se ha estructurado en cuatro grandes áreas: The Cathedral, The Loft, The Warehouse y The Outerspace. The Cathedral ha mostrado las piezas de diseñadores que dan nombre a sus marcas, The Loft ha agrupado grupos concretos de prendas; mientras que The Warehouse ha reunido toda la oferta de Denim y The Outerspace ha concentrado el streetwear y el mundo de los sneakers (zapatillas deportivas). El salón también ha presentado dos exposiciones: la Sneaker Expo, con más de 700 zapatillas de coleccionista, y una exposición fotográfica del 50 aniversario de la muñeca Barbie firmada por Karl Lagerfeld.

The Laundry ha sido el foro de debate donde los profesionales del sector han analizado las tendencias de la moda y del negocio de la moda, han abordado los aspectos económicos, de diseño y de comercialización y han estudiado diferentes maneras de innovar en todos ellos.Más que modaLa ambientación de The Brandery ha sido uno de los elementos característicos del nuevo salón. El diseño de las cuatro áreas instaladas en el Palacio 7 de recinto de Montjuïc, junto con la elección de espacios de cuidada estética, como el pabellón Mies van der Rohe, escenario de The Laundry, ha dotado al nuevo salón de una marcada personalidad propia. A ello también ha contribuido la música de diversos DJs y los espacios de chill-out ubicados en el exterior.

Asimismo, ha proyectado su espíritu más allá del recinto ferial a través de The City, un programa que ha extendido a diferentes zonas de Barcelona el efecto de “The Brandery”. Las iniciativas han estado ligadas al comercio y han incluido exposiciones y actuaciones en numerosos puntos del entramado urbano. El respaldo del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona y del propio sector ha contribuido a proyectar la imagen de la ciudad como referente europeo en moda urbana.Barcelona, 9 de julio de 2009.

SPN - The Brandery - Opening day

2009-07-07T17:20:00.003+02:00

I have to begin by saying that The Brandery is well organised and I have to take my hat off to Albert Planas and everyone involved at FIRA Barcelona for putting this fashion and trade fair together in such a short space of time. I am sure that after Thursday, the fashion world, especially those companies in Europe that haven't made it to the opening edition, will be queuing up to be part of the second edition when it is hosted in January 2010.

Xtra Xposure, the latest addition to SPN will be focusing on Media Communications and Public Relations for events such as The Brandery, targeting UK companies in order for them to shpowcase their collections.

SPN - The Brandery Welcome Party

2009-07-03T00:34:00.002+02:00

To celebrate the inauguration of The Brandery, a Welcome Party will be held on the evening of Tuesday 7th July to the backdrop of the spectacular display of light and water of the magical fountains of Montjuïc. The party will also feature entertainment by the band Chicks on Speed and performances by various DJs.

Open air photography exhibition - All along Rambla Catalunya, between Diagonal and Gran Via, there will be an exhibition of giant transparent cubes featuring 11 photos commissioned by the magazine Yo Dona. Rossy de Palma and the fans created by Louis Vuitton to support the NGO Orphanage Africa are the stars of the shots.

Exhibition of trend magazines - Hercules, B-Guided, Metal, Neo 2, H and Tendencias, six of the most important trend magazines in Spain, will be showcasing their identities to visitors to the show and Barcelona residents through a small exhibition on the streets of the Born district.

The art of graffiti - Four graffiti artists will be painting live on wooden cubes set up on the Portal de l’Àngel. One of the faces of the cubes will be dedicated to each artist’s interpretation of The Brandery. Another six cubes, already painted by other graffiti artists, will be set up in front of the Mies van der Rohe pavilion.

Clubs and Terraces - Visitors to the show will have access to the clubs and terraces of The Brandery’s partners to enjoy the city’s ambience at CDLC, Opium Mar, Lotus Theater, Boulevard, Sutton, Broadbar, Otto Zutz and Jamboree and on the terraces of the hotels Me, Barceló Raval, Ars, Axel, B and Claris.

SPN - The Brandery Update

2009-06-22T09:37:00.003+02:00

Custo Barcelona, Pepe Jeans, Armand Basi, Desigual, Sita Murt, TCN, American Vintage, Lacoste, Rams 23, New Balance, Reebok, Etnies, Element and Cruyff Classic are among the brands that have confirmed their participation in the new salon of urban fashion, The Brandery, which will be held at the Montjuïc exhibition centre of Fira Barcelona on July 7-9.

In accordance with the rate of recruitment that has been carried out in just over two months, more than one hundred brands will be present in The Brandery, 40% of them international.
According to Fira Barcelona's director of Expansion and of the project, Pere Camprubí, "count on a hundred or so brands in the first edition, and given the current economic climate that's noteworthy, especially if we keep in mind the quality of the offer, with the presence of the leading Spanish brands in urban fashion and other outstanding European brands who bet on Barcelona as a platform for the sector." He underlined that "we have the opportunity to organize a meeting point of urban fashion in Barcelona and we want to take advantage of that. We are convinced that it will be a good experience and an important step towards future editions."

Camprubí added that the response from contacted firms has been very positive, confirming that the idea of a tradeshow is the right thing. "Actually, - he said - many of those who will not be able to exhibit in July - almost all for reasons of previously set budgets or schedule conflicts - have expressed the intention of participating in the January 2010 edition. For that reason, we are sure that in July, The Brandery will start a long path towards becoming a point of reference in the European market, with a progressive increase in the number of exhibitors."

Visitor Campaign The Brandery, which is still in the process of commercialization and addition of exhibitor space, is also initiating a visitor campaign that includes the Hosted Buyers plan, which offers free hotel rooms to the exhibitors for their clients in different hotels throughout the city. Also, the salon will invite some 1,000 buyers with great decision-making power on an international level.

The tradeshow, which relies on the support of the Barcelona City Council, will take place on the upper part of the Montjuïc exhibition venue and will be divided into various areas dedicated to the different segments of the market. There will be everything from big brands to newly created ones, presentations, performances, areas for debate and reflexion, as well as events and expositions. Highlighted among them is the sneaker show, an exhibition exclusive to Europe, which will include 600 models of collectable shoes, presented by decades, where the historic insignias of some of the most important international brands in the sector will appear.
Barcelona in the past few years has become a point of reference in contemporary urban fashion. With The Brandery, the role of the city will be evident, as its streets and establishments welcome events related to the sector and the tradeshow with expositions and stunning visuals in various areas and in different emblematic buildings.

SPN - Olivia

2009-06-16T19:40:00.003+02:00

Wednesday 10/06/2009 - At 12:30 and almost to the minute that the doctors predicted, Olivia Alejandra Molloy Portas decided to join us and we haven't stopped smiling....

She is absolutely beautiful and although she only weighed 2.47 kgs and measured 46 cms, she is perfect, healthy and should start to grow quickly..A very big thanks to everyone for their gifts, flowers, wishes of congratulations and to all of the family and friends who made the journey up to Clinica Teknon. Monica and Olivia are now back at home resting and both doing fantastic..

We already have too many photos to publish on this blog, but I will add one or two when I can find the time between changing nappies, bringing up her wind etc etc.. ha ha ha. I even enjoy it when she is crying. Well she doesn't actually cry. She "screams" but without any tears.. Finally, as it is my turn to change the little surgical bandage that you have to use (I am learning something new everyday) to wrap around the small piece of umbilical cord that eventually falls off, I will finish this entry with one of my already favorite funny photos of Olivia.

SPN - Final week

2009-06-05T18:09:00.003+02:00

When we thought that we still had at least two weeks left before the "big day", the doctors have finally decided that Olivia will be born by c-section on Wednesday 10th June 2009 between 12.00 and 12:30. How is that for confidence!

I don't know who is the more excited? Monica, myself or Teo our dog who suspects that something big is about to happen, but he can't put his paw on it. He will probably wonder what the strange smell is when I bring the first freshly soiled nappy back to our apartment from the hospital. The vet told us that this is something that "we have to do" and I am not looking forward to transporting the contents home!

As you can imagine, the last few weeks have been non stop preparation, so we will be enjoying the final few days before Olivias birth by having as much extra sleep as we possibly can. Everyone says that we are going to need it and as we are first time parents we are listening to advice and helpful tips from family and friends alike..

SPN - Monicas belly again.

2009-05-26T20:18:00.003+02:00

With less than a month to go and instead of keeping her feet up, from the smile on Monicas face (dancing in the living room) you wouldn't think that she was about to have a baby within the next 3 to 4 weeks..

Ok, it was the "belly dance"so we can forgive her..

SPN - Fira Barcelona

2009-03-21T12:12:00.003+01:00

The brands, their interaction with the public and the appeal of Barcelona are the core areas of The Brandery, Fira Barcelona's professional contemporary urban fashion trade show, which will take place twice a year. This first edition is planned for the coming month of July at the Montjuïc exhibition site, following a process to define the event, which involved professionals from the sector.

The Brandery, with the support of Barcelona City Council, comes with the aim of bringing 250 national and international fashion exhibiters together around the Magic Fountain of the upper area of Montjuïc in this first gathering, which will be held on 7, 8 and 9 of July. All those exhibiters involved share the vision of a new fashion identity based on brand protagonism and defined by the "post fashion circus", a new stage not only based on clothing, but on the brands and the people in the "circus" of day-to-day city life who interact with it to give them their personality.

Another decisive aspect is "Made in Barcelona", due to the fact that the city is an international benchmark and possesses the innovative push necessary to make The Brandery a European platform for contemporary fashion.

The brands as protagonists. During the presentation ceremony celebrated today 19/93/2009, with numerous representatives from the sector in attendance, the Mayor of Barcelona, Jordi Hereu, pointed out the this is a "personal project the would help Barcelona become a reference point for international trade fairs in contemporary fashion. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Fira Barcelona, Josep Lluís Bonet, underlined that "in Barcelona there is a significant gap in the market" and that "commitment by the sector is fundamental if the trade show is to be a success. It is a project born of the sector and with the sector."

Fira Barcelona's Expansion Director, Pere Camprubí, explained that The Brandery is structured into 5 large areas which make up a global proposal in terms of the market:
The Fira will be the commercial meeting area between exhibiters and clients;
Brandtown, serves as the outer leisure area, with restaurants, bars, and chill-out zone; Brandstreet will house merchandising, the press, clients and the brand catwalk;
The Laundry will serve as a laboratory for ideas, debates, exhibitions and reflections; and, in The City, those present will be able attend the events, parties and exhibitions connected to the trade fair.

To house the brands, names of urban spaces have been chosen that fit each one's style and personality:
The Cathedral for those brands where the designer is the determining factor;
The Loft, for brands with a more designer/trendy flair;
The Warehouse, for denim-based brands; and
The Outerspace for street-wear brands and sneakers.

SPN - UK Press Release

2009-03-08T13:59:00.002+01:00

SPN Launches UK Directories - SPN is pleased to announce that from the end of March / early April 2009 the UK directories for Liverpool, London and Manchester will be active.

SPN the number one specialised search engine and directories for parents in Spain, will be actively approaching a minimum of 1000 relevant industry related companies for each of there online directories, to join them in there goal of "making life easier" for parents in the UK.With the launch of SPN Liverpool, Manchester and London within the next three weeks and with Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds due to be online mid September, parents will soon be able to find everything that they require for their children with just one or two clicks of the mouse from our carefully selected categories.

SPN is the specialised search engine and online directories for parents that is "making life easier" by doing all of the hard work for you. No more searching through hundreds of irrelevant web pages to find what they want for their children. They can simply click on the category and choose any of the listed companies that are included. From an idea that first came about in 2003, when trying to find an ET doll for a friends baby daughter and after two years of planning and researching the various methods of "search" in other European countries, SPN set about designing and building a website that was simplistic in its looks and even easier to navigate. SPN Solo para niños was founded in April 2005, launched online in Sept 2005 and is registered as a private company in Barcelona, Spain.

The company is owned by two of the three Molloy brothers Raymond and Christopher and is fully privately owned. The companys business is internet publicity and advertising. The company now includes online sales and distribution (if required) for all of clients and companies related to the growing children’s sector of the market, via the SPN shopping catalogue which complements their parent friendly search engine and growing city directories. Their search engine enables the included businesses in the directory to advertise to parents who are actively searching for the products or services that they have, either on their own exclusive page or by linking users directly to the companys website.

Instead of having to search through hundreds of irrelevant web pages to find what they are looking for, parents will now be able to find almost anything and everything that require for their children in Spain and the UK. Unlike other search engines or online directories that automatically include hundreds, if not thousands of irrelevant free listings, at SPN they take their time to personally check each individual request and only include those that are relevant to their categories. SPN's goal for the coming years is to make SPN a household brand name and to become the only specialised search engine that parents will need to use.

The company currently has 25 city directories online in Spain: (Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Sevilla, A Coruña, Alicante, Girona, Granada, Las Palmas, Málaga, Murcia, Tarragona, Palma de Mallorca, San Sebastián, Santander, Tenerife, Valencia, Valladolid, Vitoria and Cádiz) with 3 UK cities (Liverpool, Manchester and London) launching at the end of March early April 2009 and a further 3 cities (Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds) towards the end of the year. SPN Sweden, Italy, Denmark, France and Germany will follow within the next two years.

The SPN categories included in the search engine and directories are: Baby Clothes Shops, Childrens Fashion Shops, Baby Products, Baby Accessories (Prams, Cots, etc), Catering, Parties, Clinics, Dentists, Hotels, Travel Agencies, Hospitals, Pharmacies, Infant Schools, Junior, Schools, Nurseries, Leisure Activities, Language Schools, Music Schools, Theatre Schools, Dance Schools, Plag Groups, Childrens Parks, Online Shopping, Private Education Schools, Sports Shops, Fitness, Toy Shops, Hoppy Shops, Specialist Shops and a category for Useful Websites.

If companies would like to be included in one or more of the relevant business categories in the forthcoming UK city directories, then they only need to use the contact links that they will find at the top and bottom of every page. Alternatively prospective companies can also contact any of the SPN UK team (Liverpool, Manchester and London) directly prior to the launch and they will be pleased to forward the relevant information that is requested: Anthony Lee (Liverpool) +44 0775 221 3979, Christopher Molloy +44 0773 773 2426, Naqi Shah (Manchester) +44 0781 849 7173.

SPN - Linkedin

2009-03-03T13:30:00.004+01:00

SPN would like to highly recommend Linkedin. A great website for making new contacts online. Join a related group and enter into the various topical discussions or create your own and see if it is of interest to anybody.

It works a little bit like a "spiders web" because once you invite a friend, colleague or a new person to join your own network, it begins to link them all together by various degrees of seperation and before you know it, as I have recently noticed, in less than one week I have over 100,000 new business contacts who I can now introduce myself and my company to..

SPN - Support Niamh Coyne

2009-02-11T19:53:00.003+01:00

SPN was sadenned to hear about young Niamh's illness and would like to help to spread the word, in the hope that a liver donor can be found before it is to late for her.

Niamh was born with a rare bowel disorder. There was nothing that could be done immediately when she was born, so the doctors, nurses and consultants at Sheffield Children's hospital worked their magic and kept her alive.

They have to feed her through a tube all of her short 2 years of life and she has been hospital bound. She has never spent a night away from hospital. Unfortunately, as with all medical things, the medicines and TPN (Total parental nutrition) that is fed into her has seriously affected her liver which was an expected side effect. However, now she is critical and needs an urgent liver transplant in order to survive, therefore, the plea is for everyone to register themselves as donors and also, to bare Niamh in mind if, god forbid they are faced with the loss of a loved one, in order that maybe she can have a chance of life.

Thanks for your support, it really is overwhelming. Please pass the group request onto all of your friends so we can try and push this nationally and give Niamh the chance that every child deserves.

If you haven't already, it takes just a minute to register as a donor and you could help save a life. http://www.uktransplant.org.uk

PASADO EL CONTROL POR FIN ME DAN UN VISADO DE TURISTA POR TRES MESES. ASI LLEGO A QUEENSTOWN CENTER DONDE, REVENTADO DEL VIAJE, MI AMIGA NEKANE ME LLEVA TOMANDO CERVEZAS Y ENSEÑANDOME EL LUGAR. UN LUGAR PRECIOSO DONDE HAY MONTAÑAS Y LAGOS EN PLAN SUPERGRANDE. UNAS PANORAMICAS DE MIEDO DE NATURALEZAS QUE TE DEJAN SIN RESPIRACION DE LO INMENSO QUE ES ESTE PRECIOSO SITIO.
AL FINAL DEL DIA LLEGUE POR FIN EN CASA, DONDE ENTENTE DESCANSAR UN POCO. NO DORMI APENA...PERO BUENO....
AL SEGUNDO DIA FUI CON WISO Y NEKKY, COMPAÑEROS DE PISO (SOMOS 3 EN CASA, ESTA PAREJA Y YO), AL PICO DE CORONET Y ALLI FUE MI PRIMERA EXPERIENCIA CON EL DEPORTE DE AVENTURA VOLANDO EN PARAPENTE. POR CIERTO QUEENSTOWN ES LA MECA DEL DEPORTE DE AVENTURA DONDE LLEGAN GENTE DE TODO EL MUNDO A PRACTICARLA. LA DE VOLAR CON EL PARAPENTE FUE UNA EXPERIENCIA TREMENDA. FUE LANZARNOS DESDE UN MONTE A 1000 METROS CIRCAS ( ME DICIERON ) Y VOLAR POR ENCIMA DE ESTE ESTUPENDO PAISAJE COMO SI FUERA UN PAJARO.....VAYA SENSACION!!!!.
EN TODO ESTO TENGO QUE RECORDAROS QUE TENGO VERTIGO, PERO ME LA SUDA AL FINAL.....¿HAY QUE HACERLO NO?. ¿¿¿NO OS PARECE????
ALLI WISO ME PROPUSO DE VOLAR CON EL, POR QUIEN SE LO COMENTE YA, POR MARCAR UN RECORD DE PARAPENTE BIPLAZA. ESTE RETO SERIA DE LANZARNOS, ENGANCHADO DESDE UN GLOBO A 2000 METROS Y ALLI SORTARNOS EN UNA CAIDA LIBRE DE 15 SEGUNDOS APROXIMADOS Y ABRIR PARA VOLAR UNOS 54 KM SOBRE LOS MONTES Y EL LAGO WAKATIPU. EN UN PRINCIPIO IBA A HACERLO CON NEKANE, QUE AL FINAL SE HA TIRADO ATRAS Y DESPUES ME LO DIJO.
¿¿¿¿.....EN QUE ESTAIS PENSANDO AHORA......???? .....PUES SI, ME LANZARE CON EL Y NO SE SI LLEGARE BIEN U MUERTO DE MIEDO. ESTO LO DIGO POR EL LANZAMIENTO DE CAIDA LIBRE Y NO LO DE VOLAR. LO DE VOLAR ME DIO MUCHO RESPETO, PERO NO VERTIGO......AL FINAL YA OS CONTARE.....
EN EL MISMO DIA FUIMOS A UN PUEBLO CERCANO LLAMADO ARROWTOWN, PUEBLO MINERO Y PINTORESCO MUY BIEN CONSERVADO. ME GUSTO MUCHO Y ALLI EMPEZE A TENER MI PRIMERA EXPERIENZA CON LA COMIDA LOCAL. ME COMI 2 "PIES", QUE SON TORTAS MAS PARECIDA A EMPANADAS PERO MAS JUGOSA CON UN SABOR BUENISIMO.
DESPUES DE LA EXPERIENZA DEL PARAPENTE NOS FUIMOS, OTRO DIA, DESDE UN MIERCOLES HASTA UN SABADO A LA COSTA SUR-ESTE DE LA ISLA A VER LOS "CATLINS". UN LUGAR PRECIOSO Y ESPECTACULAR. FUE MI PRIMER CONTATO CON LA NATURALEZA NEW ZELANDESA DONDE DOMINABAN PAISAJES CON ALCANTILADOS Y OVEJAS POR TODOS LADOS. ALLI VIMOS BOSQUES, RESTOS FOSILIZADOS DE HACE 160 MILIONES DE AÑOS DE UN BOSQUE JURASSICO, PRADERAS, PLAYAS INMENSOS, BAHIAS, CASCADAS, RIOS, HELECHOS POR TODAS PARTE ( SIMBOLO DEL PAIS ), FOCAS, LEONES MARINOS, DELFINES HECTOR SALTANDO Y JUGANDO CON OLAS( QUE SON DELFINES PEQUEÑOS BLANCO Y NEGROS ), PINGUINOS DE OJOS AMARILLOS, PARDELAS Y MUCHAS MAS ESPECIES VOLATILES QUE DESCONOZCIA.........UNA PASADA!!!!!.
PASAMOS UNOS DIAS INOLVIDABLES AUNQUE EL TIEMPO NO NOS AYUDO MUCHO POR LAS LLUVIA (CHIRIMIRI, CREO QUE SE DICE ASI). AQUI EL CLIMA CAMBIA MUCHO Y EN UN DIA, AUNQUE SEA DE VERANO, PODEIS VER LAS 4 ESTACIONES. MIENTRAS HACE CALOR DE REPENTE EN POCO TIEMPO NIEVA......NEW ZELAND, NIÑOS!!!!
EL CLIMA CAMBIA INCLUSO EN EL LA ISLA DEL NORTE, ME EXPLICO. EN EL SUR HACE MAS FRIO(EN VERANO) QUE EN EL NORTE Y EN INVIERNO......MEJOR NO OS CUENTO.....
LA GENTE AQUI ES MUY TRANQUILA Y LA VIDA MUY PAUSADA. EN UN BAR PIDIENDO UN CAFE (Y NO HAY NADIE, ¡¡OJO!! ) TARDAN EN PREPARALO 5-7 MINUTOS. AUNQUE ESTEN CON GENTE TARDAN LO MISMO EN PREPARTE LOS CAFES Y TE ESPERA SIN PROBLEMA ALGUNO, ASI ES AQUI......EGUAL QUE EN ESPAÑA, CON UN COETE EN EL CULO Y A VOLAR....JE...JE!!. HAY UN ANEDDOTA GRACIOSA QUE CONTAROS: AQUI LA GENTE DEL LUGAR HACE MUCHAS VIDA DE CASA, EXCEPTO LA JOVENTU Y POR SUPUESTO EL TURISMO. ENTONCE LOS RESTAURANTES, PARA QUE LA GENTE SALGAN MAS A COMER EN SUS LOCALES Y QUE LA COMIDA LE SALEN MAS BARATOS A LOS CLIENTES, ACEPTAN QUE EL CLIENTE LE TRAEN SUS BOTELLAS DE VINO ( EL ALCHOL ES LO MAS CARO EN ESTE PAIS, EN BASE AL NIVEL DE VIDA DEL LUGAR ) Y POR ESO SOLO LE COBRAN 10 DOLARES N.Z. POR EL DESCOLCHO DE LA BOTELLA Y LAS COPAS DE VINO ( SERIA EL CUBIERTO POR ELLOS ). IMAGINAROS QUE QUIERES QUEDAR COMO UN SEÑOR...VAS ALLI UN PAR DE ORAS ANTES, LE ENTREGAS LAS BOTELLAS QUE QUIERES ( CLARAMENTE DE LAS BUENAS ) Y DESPUES DE LA CENA PIDES LA CUENTA AL CAMARERO PARA ENVITAR TU Y LA PERSONA QUE HAS ENVITADO SE CREE QUE ESTAS PAGANDO UN PASTON ( CLARAMENTE COMO OS CONTABA LO DEL ALCHOOL QUE ES CARO ). EN REALIDAD TE ESTAS AHORRANDO UNA PASTA PORQUE EL VINO ES TUYO Y SOLO TENDRAS QUE PAGARLE LOS 10 DOLARES N.Z. POR HABERTE SERVIDO TU VINO. VAYA, VAAYAAAA..... BUENOS ESTO TAMBIEN ES NEW ZELAND.
VIVIENDO AQUI Y GANANDO EN DOLARES N.Z. LA VIDA ES NORMAL TIRANDO UN POCO A CARA Y NO TE VAS A FORRAR, SIN EMBARGO CON EUROS A CAMBIO SE DUPLICA EL DINERO Y LA VIDA ES A MITAD PRECIO QUE EN ESPAÑA POR LA MAYORIA DE LAS COSA.
TE PUEDES ENCONTRAR ANIMALES CONTINUAMENTE EN LA CARRETERA, OVEJA, VACAS, CONEJOS....INCLUSO FOCAS Y TIENES QUE TENER UN CUIDADO CON ELLOS A NO TROPEZARLOS. EL CINTURON ES OBLIGATORIO COMO EL CASCO EN BICICLETA Y TTOODDOOSS LO LLEVAN, PORQUE AQUI SI TE PILLAN......Y LA GENTE ES MUY LEGAL. IMAGINAROS: DEJAMOS LA CASA ABIERTA SIN PROBLEMA Y NADIE ENTRA A ROBARTE....EXCEPTO EN ALGUNOS LUGARES COMO OS CONTABA CON LOS BRASILEÑOS. SE CONDUCE AL REVES QUE EN ESPAÑA Y TAMBIEN EL VOLANTE ESTA EN EL ASIENTO DEL COPILOTO ( EN ESPAÑA....CLARAMENTE..JE JE !! ). NO SE PUEDE CORRER MAS DE 100 KM. POR HORA Y LA CARRETERA MAS GRANDE ES COMPARABLE A UNA CARRETERA SECUNDARIA DE ESPAÑA. NO HAY AUTOVIA...SOLO CARRETERAS SECUNDARIAS Y CARRILES DE TIERRA.
BUENO, CREO QUE NO SE ME OLVIDA NADA QUE CONTAROS......SI LO HAGO LO CONTARE EN EL SIGUIENTE MAIL.
ESPERO QUE TODO VA BIEN ALLI Y AL SIGUENTE CAPITULO.
UN ABRAZO MUY GRANDE DESDE LA TIERRA DE NADIE.....-

HASTA PRONTO.

SPN - Old Friends

2009-01-10T20:34:00.002+01:00

Just thought that I would make a quick entry in this blog, to remind myself that old friends are always at the end of a telephone line and never actually disappear - they just have busy lives like everybody else.

SPN - Nieve

2009-01-04T18:31:00.002+01:00

2009-01-02T10:29:00.002+01:00

2009 begins in un pueblo called Puigcerda. A great little town in the north which sits on the border of Spain and France. The people who live here during the different seasons, actually have time to say hello when you pass them on the street. This is the place where I would like to live....

SPN - Feliz Año Nuevo

2008-12-31T09:46:00.004+01:00

Its new years eve and we are off to the mountains to recharge our batteries and to relax with the family. The way that 2008 is finishing I think it means that we will have to prepare for a very busy 2009, and as Monica my wife is pregnant with our first child (hopefully the first of many), the more rest that she can have the better. So, I would like to wish everybody out there a very happy new year and if you stumble across the SPN blog, please take a look at this link and feel free to leave your comments. Feliz Año Nuevo a todo!

Ok - now I have to place some script on the front page of this blog so that a company called Technorati will allow me ownership to the blog?? Not sure what this means, but here we go.

SPN Blog - Up and Running

2008-12-30T16:23:00.004+01:00

Wow - I am amazed! It took literally 5 seconds to transfer our blog from Blogger to our own server at SPN. Everybody says "Ray you must have a blog on your site" so now that it is finally 'live' we will see how well it works. On a closing note, it will also be a great place for practising my Spanish. After all we are based in Spain.

Waiting.

2008-12-28T11:13:00.002+01:00

We are waiting for this blog to transfer to our own webserver, so apologies if you can't find it. There is now a button on the SPN front page which will eventually do what it is supposed to do.

In the help section it says that it is all very simple - do this and that and all will be well. Has anyone else had this problem? Even I am having trouble and keep having to log in. According to the instructions it should take 2 to 3 days. Fingers crossed.

Feliz Navidad.

2008-12-25T10:48:00.001+01:00

SPN Solo para niños would like to wish all of our clients and parents around the world, a very happy and peaceful Christmas.

SPN 2009

2008-11-27T13:58:00.003+01:00

2009 is just around the corner and here at SPN Barcelona, where we can never find enough time to do everything that we have planned, we have decided that we will soon be adding this blog and maybe even a photo gallery or a forum to our portal, so that parents can help us to improve our services. We have received many emails from users, who say that we are like a "Paginas Amarillas" or a "Google for Parents". Hopefully that is a compliment!
