[Update by afew: See below for a (imo excellent) Friday evening suggestion - who's up for this?]

So check back often!

Re: Who's coming? (4.00 / 2)
Mmm I replied in the wrong place, here goes:

I can't know for sure whether I bear a strong responsibility for the choice of October this year (hint: there is a reason around early September why we are moving to a bigger place), but having dropped a considerable weight of not-so-subtle hints towards those who might make it so I must say thanks.

And, of course, I'll be there. Probably on my own -one month may seem a little young for a family trip.

Plus, I think Mouna would be scared of the Eurostar trip with both the newborn and Elwan -maybe if it had been only one she would have considered the trip at that young an age.

Re: Who's coming? (none / 0)
Where's your ambition?

Actually, she's the real concern at that stage - the baby doesn't give  a damn where it is so long as there's food, warmth, cuddles and someone to periodically clean poo off it. Whether mommy is up for a trip that soon afterwards isn't something you'd know until after the delivery - after a c-section Sam certainly wouldn't have been travelling anywhere at the end of four weeks, and she made a really fast recovery.

Re: Who's coming? (4.00 / 2)
Actually, I'll probably come with Elwan, leaving Emrys and his mum at home.
Yes, I hope one day she feels a bit more daring and realises that the trip would not be traumatic to anyone. But at the moment she is very tired, and probably not that comfortable breastfeeding in public. Also, there are only a few positions that are not too painful for her so she may be worried about the train.

There's a good Cuban restaurant (very simple, but also very good, especially the porc) nearby.

Or, we could do dinner at my place depending on how many people are going to be there, and then hit the bars in Oberkampf.

Re: UPDATE: 2011 MeETup! (none / 1)
I can´t justify a trip to Paris just for a social occasion - enjoyable though that undoubtedly would be. There are too many important things to do and think about.  How about an ET seminar on "Preparing for Depression" or TARA vs. TINA.  We need to start oprganising a coherent alterantive policy response and garnering media attention for same.  One of the most striking features of the EU crisis is the complete lack of any cooperation between the PIIGS.  The serious people in each country seem so deperate to differentiate themselves from all the others.  But perhaps organisers on the ground - as in ET -  could organise a conference with papers from distinguuished speakers which would highlight the areas for concerted action?

How can we expect Eurobonds to "emerge" if there is no European demos pushing for them?  If you really want to put the frighteners on creditors you have to get the debtors to unite.  The whole ponzi scheme depends on fracturing the populace - getting people so afraid that they turn on each other.  But if ET could organise a forum which allowed reps from each of the PIIGS countries to formulate a common charter - debt restructuring, eurobonds, infrastructural investmenty etc. - then we could play our part in setting a new agenda or at least getting a TARA debate going.  If our leaders in Council and EP can´t do it, then maybe we have to.

Otherwise an ET meet-up just seems an indulgence...

But I still don't know if I'll do it.

Just arranged travel for Karin and self. Can't reach Passy Home, they seem to be bought by another company, and can't make reservations on the non-existent Passy home site or the new owner Federal Hotels. When i tried the old number it doesn't work.

Plant to arrive Thurs eve, hit the Thalys for breakfast Monday morn.

Hope to reach Passy Home if it still exists.

There are boatloads of hotels just beyond the périph' but with Parisian adresses. The best deals around if you don't mind being only slightly out of the way...

Indeed porte d'Ivry is just beyond the Chinatown, but only a tramway + RER ride from the 16th.

Re: Looks like it doesn't exist anymore (none / 0)
I've stayed in the Kyriad in Courbevoie (West) and Vincennes (East) before, and the amenities seem very standard (and very basic) from one to the other. Out there in the suburbs, they are often paired with a Ibis, which is one notch above (price-wise too).

Haven't checked Paris hotel prices in a while, but I remember it's very expensive, especially in the Western side.

Booking (none / 0)
Booked at Auteuil Tour Eiffel because it's just around the corner from the meet. Too expensive at €160 for two with breakfast, but cancelable for free up to 48h before arrival. (We're there Thurs to Mon, so that's why it's so expensive.)

Cheapest we've found (afew found) was €105, and i'd checked (on the net) a dozen with little satisfaction on the nexus of price/quality/location. I have found that location often saves hours and costs, especially if it allows easy access to metro.

i sure wish some of you would make a last minute decision to come. LEP, are you still thinking you can make it?

I bought a small boat this summer to help me to get away from politics. My wife told me I was too old to go back to boating but I'm determined to prove her wrong. The boat itself wasn't expensive but hiring a bodyguard when I go out will make it so ;)

You don't have to explain things, you don't have blank faces when you mention something.

I understand, and I won't make it about you, but I'm so shy at first it just makes me feel better if there are more females around. And I don't even know which of the other attendees ARE female, though I've noticed there are some wives coming.

It partly depends on what my husband can work out about Friday and Monday off, too, which we won't know until tomorrow night.

You're still a big part of it for me, though. But no pressure... heh.

Could I add to that mini-meetup idea with the proposal that if anyone finds themselves jonesing for some Berchtesgadener Land touristic activities, they'd be welcomed here? I may be shy in a new group, but my husband and I love visitors who are very casual in their attitudes of comfort (one bathroom for however many) and we love to cook... vegetarian.

So if or when any of you find yourselves in our area, we'd love a mini-meetup weekend and can sleep 4 extra in a relatively comfortable way.  The view from the balcony is GORGEOUS, the trails and walks and tourist attractions are numerous and the company is tolerant.

Grève! (none / 0)
I got to Verona this evening to find the train to Paris cancelled due to a strike in France. Rather than take a bus from Milan, I decided to go home and hoped to leave early in the morning and connect in Munich. I assume the strike has blocked the ICEs as well, as I could only find connections via Bruxelles (!). The first Munich-Paris connection which doesn't go via Belgium arrives in Paris around 11pm, so I may take that. But, assuming it is running, the question is whether there is any point - how many of you may be forced to cancel because of the strike?
