Who will be there?

Re: Who will be there? (none / 0)

I have not been around much lately, so I might not have seen comments about attendance at the Meetup in other Diaries or OT's. Please leave a note here if you are not on the list.

I plan to be there on Saturday. I'll try to think of a Friday program but for the moment I'm not able to do a lot of walking.

I am arriving on Friday, but I will catch up with some old friends at dinner in the evening. I'm leaving Sunday morning for Lyon and then Aix.

Re: Who will be there? (none / 0)

I'll be arriving Friday 8am, but I have some shopping to do in the morning, and can only check into my hotel at noon. So I should be able to meet from 2pm on (maybe 3pm, to be on the safe side).

Re: Who will be there? (none / 1)

I will have to take a look at my finances when I get back to Copenhagen. It looks like I can be there, but I want to add up some numbers before confirming.

Re: Who will be there? (none / 0)

I just had a look at my finances, and they are too perilous at the moment to permit international travel. But I do hope that you'll bring a toast or two to absent friends.

Re: Who will be there? (4.00 / 4)

Unfortunately it seems I'm in the 'need a lottery win' camp with most of the rest of the UK contingent.

Should we have a UK meet sometime? It's been a while.

Count me in -although my wife would argue that I live in France more than in the UK (an overstatement, I think).

Eurostar loyalty points mean that no lottery win will be needed for September, though.

Re: Who will be there? (4.00 / 5)

Very quick note from the law library in Melun:
Ivonne and I will likely be there. As most of you know, we swear off the net for a summer of travel, and now that we are back in circulation--or will be tomorrow-- we will be there.
Look forward to seeing all our friends soon.

Re: Who will be there? (none / 0)

I will not be at the meetup this year but I will be in Paris from this (Monday) afternoon to Thursday morning and again for 24h-ish from Friday evening to Saturday evening.

Those of you with my British or Spanish mobile numbers can call me at either if you'd like to meet.

Re: This and That (none / 0)

My nearest thing to a programme will involve a tour of some Parisian markets on the Friday. Haven't really got a plan together, but I do have a website detailing all of them.

I'm a foodie rather than antiques or such so that'll be the focus

Re: Friday event. (4.00 / 3)

We all had a great time two years ago at the Assiete du Fromage in the quartier Mouffetard. And many did not get a chance to walk around and see that picturesqe area because we were so late eating.

As I remember we had a very nice meal for 20 euros which included a small pitcher of wine although I'm sure we drank much more than that.

Here's a link to the photos of that evening.

If you all are up for a repeat of the Assiete du Fromage I could try to arrange it.

Regrets (4.00 / 3)

I'm afraid my slim chances of making it appear to have evaporated due to pressure of other business. I hope you guys have a good time and hatch a few good plots in my absence. Sorry not to meet up with old friends and make a few new in the flesh - so to speak - this cyber stuff can only take things so far.

Perhaps we should have a doom porn meet-up in Ireland sometime - to pick over the entails of the phantom tiger that never was and the perhaps nourish a few green shoots of recovery. I hope to do an optimistic diary soon, but am still somewhat short on material...

The Irish cabinet meets today to consider a further 3 Billion in budget cuts for public services and a total of 25 Billion in subventions for Anglo Irish Bank which they acknowledge will never be recovered. Even the FT says they should force a debt equity swap on bondholders but apparently the German banks now own us and haf to be appeased.
