Sounds like the perfect party to crash....

Val,

Get your readers to sponsor your trip. I'll pay the $89.00 admission.

Crash the damn thing. Let 'em all really start to "like you", ........

.......then drop the hammer on 'em.

HARD.

Val, if you want to go, Jim's idea sounds good to me. I hope there's a large protest with graphic photos to entertain the cagastro guests on their way to the ball. This is sickening.

I'm in and willing to pay Val's way to DC - Val I live 45 minutes from DC y mi casa es tu casa - but, in all fairness those people at the Cuban Interests Section are vile rats and Val doesn't need to spend any time amongst them.

"The diplomats of the Cuban Interests Section are excited to introduce you and your fellow professionals to Cuba's rich culture, which has been essentially inaccessible to American citizens for decades."

Inaccessible? Sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiit! All Americans citizens have to do is to go to Miami or any other Cuban community in the US if they want some of Cuba's rich culture...without having to spend $89. And they don't even need a passport.

well well...im sure jesse jackson will attend,los pastores por la paz,harry belafonte and the rest of cagastro lovers.
ojala que la carne puerco les caiga mal y se vallan en cagalera y tengan que limpiarse el culo con la bandera del movimiento 26 de julio .

The Cuban Interests Section in Washington resides in a gorgeous mansion built in 1917; its thick red carpet and crystal chandeliers offer a spectacular backdrop for a true Havana evening

is THIS for real ?????

Cause at $89.00 a pop hey Ill fly down and urinate on the thick red carpet and then claim a medical condition.

I THINK WE SHOULD ALL GO!!!

Rather than going in to the party we should protest outside. We should wear gags and handcuffs symbolizing the political prisoners. I swear to God I'd love to do it. The last time there were protests outside the Cuban Interests Section they sent some goons out to beat up the protestors. I'd love to get my hands on one of the ñangaras. We should mobilize the Cubans in the DC area and in Jersey.

It would be fun to burn and torture fidel in effigy. Hey CB got that mock el paredon ready?

Yes, Kate, you are in charge of the grace shot!!!

ARE WE GOING TO DC??????

The country of Cuba is NOT misunderstood. It IS a beautiful country with fascinating history, wonderful food, and an amazing culture. However, the government is a serious problem to anyone interested an authentic Havana experience. Perhaps if the Cuban Interests Section wanted to provide a "true Havana evening" they could bring in Castro's minions to treat them the way people are normally treated there.

Oh wait....that's the S&M crowd that likes that sort of thing.

Whatever was I thinking?

Wait a minute. I don't see any of those Cuban burritos on the menu.

I'll be there as I got FREE tickets, cant wait for this grand event to take place.

Further to Fishfan's comments, I was there the morning after those goons attacked some peaceful protesters. I had coincidently gone up there that Saturday morning with my kids to protest over the Elian situation when we learned what had happened the night before. Those goons try to intimidate free Cubans here in the US with the same tactics they can use in Cuba. I agree that protesting outside the Interest Section that day and night would be a good idea to shed more light on castro's human rights abuses and hopefully embarrass some of the attending tontos utiles. I wouldn't mind going there again and yelling at those scumbags!

89 dollars, a steal. A Cuban only needs to work 9 months to make it.

Can I pay in moneda nacional?

This sounds all TOO convenient and smack in the middle of a lot of political machinations on the part of EL SUMO HIJO DE PUTA so...Let me play "Paranoid Crazy Cuban” again:
To me this just sounds way too bizarre. If I was looking for some sort of a set up THIS would be it! So JUST IN CASE THE WORSE HAPPENS this is the scenario I think these motherfuckers have in mind.

They will pack the Cuban Interest Section to the rafters (open bar and full meal for $89.00 ???) then SOMETHING terrible will happen (like a bomb, bad fish , whatever) of course TERRORISM within the USA against CUBA ! Just as Cuba is complaining that the USA is harboring Terrorists. WHAT A FUCKING HEADLINE for THE BEAST. The same will happen if ther is a demonstration SOMETHING will go afoul and the Miami Mafia will take ALL the blame.

So 500 people die ... the propaganda potential is invaluable.

So if that is the plan.. Mr. KaSStro and you think this will bring an outcry to hand over Posada. FUCK YOU, you are getting too fucking senile to come up with anything new.
And the FBI god damn better keep an eye on this little shin-ding. As for me , I am calling the FBI in DC first thing tomorrow.

It's more likely to be bad fish but you bet the Cubans will screen visitors. You really think they let anti-Castro-people in?
But yes, lets keep an eye on this. My bet is they will cancel because of some evil tricks of the "Imperio"

The protests are great yes, but the best way is to fight fire with fire. Infiltrate! Quietly at first then when every one is chummy starts asking questions, then watch the faces changes. Let’s let them be the one that get violent and show their true colors. Who ever goes must be willing to take a few good shots. I'm willing if I can get a ticket. We should also plant a photographer outside the place and take pictures of every one that enters. Publish the pictures, smear their campaigns and show them as people who will not fight for human rights. Expose them for the hypocrites they are. This is exactly the tactics castro has used against us. Its time to turn the tables. I'm serious we need to plan this.

Even if one can't go in person and protest this shame-fest, one way of trying to deflate this balloon is to attempt to shame - and educate - this Professionals in the City organization about rubbing culos with these "Cubans." Send them a link to the Real Cuba (therealcuba.com) website via their email. In fact, the organization's email address is already posted in the Real Cuba home page. Ask them to take a look at the REAL CUBA. Send them a link to this blog too - ask these "professionals" if they can have the honor of attending cooking classes with el maximo comediante, the same ones any ordinary Cuban in Cuba can attend...yeah, right.

Tell them to have some dignity and stay home! That would be a hell of a silent protest.

Alberto:

I would love to see most of them stay home, but I'm pretty sure that the invitees are carefully selected sypathysers. One of the posters on this thread mentioned that he had tickets. If anyone can get in we need to have a good strategy. ALso, they idea of posting a photografer outside the event would be good too.

You are right about the carefully selected invitees, mojoman. Still, there is value in spreading the information about this "event" to as many sympathetic (to our cause) groups as possible - that's what the lefties do when something offends them...if anyone knows any members of Professionals in The City (I do not, unfortunately), they could put pressure on them to skip this fandango, or encourage them to ask hard questions if they attend.

You so have to get someone to confirm who attends this perfume-on-a-pig gala.

I have been left out of the loop on this one!!
I bet all the Greek Orthodox "missionaries" are invited to this Gala of course.....
Not to sound paranoid,I have a feeling that all the "invited guests" have been reading this blog and getting their information on us...so if we go to DC, I say lets do a silent protest... stand there wrapped in a Cuban flag orjust have the women dress in white holding pictures of the Cuban dissidents...
Val...keep this going please!! it really insults my intelligence to have something like this right here under our own noses!!
