Welcome back everybody! Yesterday we celebrated our first post-summer meeting in our fabulos new location. Hopefully, our venue-driven journey has come to an end now. And what a night we had with plenty of guests, funny and ambitious table topics by Belinda, a charming Toastmaster of the Day Jeff, a broad variety of speech topics, and, above all, some fantastic evaluations. Our guests were thrilled, for instance, by the professional level of Kim's evaluation of Melinda's Hurricane speech. Kim acknowledged Melinda's ability to speak with a firm voice (it was her #5 "Variety of Voice" speech), but showed then in a very practical way that a steady firm voice has no effect on drama either. Kim started to demonstrate the impact of different voice levels and gestures, and everybody in the room felt like sitting on a roller coaster. Great job! The other three evaluators of the night - Xavier, Liam and Edith - were some tough rivals though. As far as the other speeches, Christian talked about the virtues of Open Source software, Rose in her tenth speech inspired the audience to find the path to solidarity, and Florian experimented for the first time with an advanced manual and performed a TV commentary on the current situation in Iraq. As stated above, the new venue has everything we need, and we all know that there are decent bars in Old Sarriá, which we proved right right after our great session.
