As of right now, everything will be indoors.
Feb is Colombia is considered dry season but that still means it will be pretty hot.
The hotel for the event will be Movich Buro 51 which is a 5 start hotel in the nicer part of town. Since its carnaval and the most expensive weekend of the year, we were able to get some partial discounts for a block of rooms. Airbnb is also used in Barranquilla if you want to get a place on there just try to stay near by the hotel to make transportation to the event and other plans easier.
TBD. The venue will be on the north side of the city. We might do a party bus from the hotel to the parade on Saturday.
Valet will be available however we recommend taking ride shares or taxis. Please don't drink and drive, specially in a foreign country.
The main event will have a few finger foods early in the event then a buffer type dinner with two proteins to pick from.
Gabriel will be making a google form. Text him to get the link.
ABSOLUTELY, also each table will have a bottle or two available to pour shots.
Yes, our hotel block will be at the same place as the party, the Movich Buro 51.
No, either come or you hate us :)
No, this is not a wedding and we are trying to go nomadic. Please wire your gifts or buy us dinner in a different country.

The event will end at 2AM and the parade starts around 10AM, try to sleep in-between. Saturday will be a long day so no official afterparty. However the city will be active with the start of carnival that night.
We will be texting the guest who are RSVPing to the event to let them know any changes. We will also update the website.
