Cheers from Lucero

Ugh. I'm not good at the introductions part of the conversation. It feels like a first
date where my date is an undefined amount of people and they're all invisible. But,
since I was promised that nobody would bite (not even a nibble?)...
So here's the short version (the longer version will have to wait for another time,
preferably in a setting that involves a drink in my hand): i've recently uprooted
myself from Brittany, France to Madrid. And now seems as good a time as ever to
pull out the ol' guitar and get back to business (it had been a while...life happens!)
So I went browsing the webternet for all things flamenco and, after getting sidetracked
by videos of kittens, pop-up adverts promising that yes, I too, could enlarge this or that
appendage, news articles on how everything is going to sh** and we might as well all
go tiritraning off a cliff, I finally ended up here. And it seemed to be a safe haven of sane
people sharing a passion for art. So here I am! I look forward to getting to know you on
the foro!
Cheers!

Hi Piwin,

Welcome to the foro! We are just as normal people, instead of "enlarge this or that" we want to have the fastest picado
But if you can accept the most of us play picado at a mediocre but useful speed, this is an easygoing sometimes very knowledged and funny place.
Good you picked up the guitar again and joined us.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm sure I don't have the fastest this nor the biggest that so I'm perfectly happy in a crowd of "mediocre but useful" :-)
At this point, I'm pretty good at being mediocre at picado, not so much at being useful! Gotta warm those fingers up after so much time without playing.
Cheers

Thanks for the welcome guys, and for the pointers El Kiko. I'll be rummaging around to see what I can find.

Sorry to shatter your hopes but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. If it did, there'd be some
very famous and very rich doctor or scientist out there. He'd probably be, whether
he wanted to or not, at the center of a penile cult. Men would erect (pun intended) shrines all around
the world, circle around them 7 times while shouting "all hail the Phallomeister!"
But look at the bright side, at least this way, when the sex is dissapointing for the
other person, we can blame it on our genes and not on ourselves.

In the meantime, there's always the option of manscaping to make a representation of Pdl's portrait.
It won't make anything look bigger, but I'd tip my hat to you for being a true fan

Haha I know mate! I just couldn't waste the opportunity and not mention manscaping Pdl's face on your body
