On Friday night, the night before Conga Bash 2007, Conga members gathered at the Cardozo Hotel for dinner at Oriente. After dinner, Gloria stopped by (straight from the recording studio) to personally meet and greet each Conga member in attendance. After making her rounds, posing for photos and signing autographs, Gloria then stood around and talked to the group for an hour, telling stories, news about her upcoming album and other projects, updates on her family and pets, and a series of very funny "Emilio-isms". By the time she left, she had been with the Conga group for almost two hours. It was truly a "Glorious" evening!
