I’m headed to Barcelona tomorrow and will be rolling around the Catalonian country-side for a few days before MWC, which starts next Monday. I’d love to talk to start-up folk and/or fans in B-town and Girona. My number in Spain, thanks to the super-cool MaxRoam, will be +34957780732 and my SMS-only number will be +972543563127. I’m also available via email.
I’d like to plan a CG meet-up on Wednesday at about 6pm. Drop me a line @ john at crunchgear dot com if you’d like to sit down for a beer, a chat, and a bit of tapas.
why did not you tell us earlier
I will be in Barcelona next Thursday
I’ll call you later on.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Will you make it here in Sevilla?
Have fun and don’t get hustled by the paper ball trick!
What’s the paper ball trick!
It is not the trick itself to be worried about. Barcelona is notorious for pickpockets that use things like the paper ball trick and 3 card monty type of scams as bait to pick a pocket or two.
Hi John,
I am the co-founder of one of the first spanish based entrepreneurial VC’s.
One of my passions is to convert Barcelona in the entrepreneurial hot spot of Europe. Besides start up-trends and great entrepreneurs I could give you some insider tips for your Catalonian country-side trip…
Regards, Christopher Pommerening
