Awesome! That sounds like another chance to take revenge over Vincent
on ice-cream eating.

Thanks for taking the first step about this on gugmasters, this Friday
our local group has a meeting for talking about something we are
putting together this December, I'll comment them about this chance,
but I think I can already say that there's no problem with the date,
you can be sure that we want our share of Vincent and Andre next year
:P.

We could even work out getting people from Chile and Perú together for
at least one of the two events, it would be really cool!.

I look forward for this to happen :), I'll get back to you with some
more ideas this weekend. Let's see what others have to say, please
feel free to comment!

greetings

Diego
