I have a very close contact to Jimmy says there are no plans for any other shows around that time.Paris is usually an exclusive trip going by past years.

Well you better start stocking up on beads now Dutch!Do you have to pay surcharges on your baggage for all that stuff?Its well worth it and well appreciated I can tell you.
We got our floor tickets yesterday.Now all we gotta do folks, is wait nine months..............!

Dont think Jimmy loses any sleep over this and neither do I.In fact I hate the constant need of the music media to pigeon hole acts into certain genres at all and then for someone to decide who should or shouldnt be inducted into the HOF.Its only someone's opinion after all that says who is or isnt ...

Dublin,Ireland.You heard it here first!

Yeah we're all agreed about the after show venue.Well we got a year to sort it out!Did anyone go into that American Bar on the right hand side of the street as you went down Boulevard des Italiens?Very much hope that its Olympia again next year,although maybe the bar staff could be sent on a "H...

Well done Dutch,you certainly deserve it!My wife and sister and law were beneficiaries of your generous pre show gesture.Great fun and ideal for the already pumped up crowd.Well done again.See you next year!

Flew home to Dublin today.VERY seedy heads in our group but totally worth it.What a day yesterday was.Nothing to do with the show but we had maybe our greatest lunch ever in an amazing French restaurant near Tuileries which lasted from 2 til 4.30pm and included lots of rose and champagne,incredible ...

Just to put it in to perspective for anyone worried about the terrorist threat.Its at level "red" which is the second highest setting but it is also the same level as it has been in the United States for the past few months.Maybe Jimmy shouldnt have sung about Iraq,Iran,Afghanistan! I'm mo...

Right here we go, this is it.A short working week.Off to Paris.Fine wine and haut cuisine.And then Jimmy and the Reefers at Olympia.Whats not to like!!Are we FEELING it people?!

We dont mind the impending "manifestation" of French wines and cheeses though do we?!

I think Yorkshire has called it about right.These strikes usually begin the evening before the actual day (the 22nd in this case) and will end at 23.59 on the 23rd.Levels of delays and cancellations during this period is anybodys guess.I'm sorry to say though that there is virtually no chance of thi...

Sean,
If you just scan back through this thread you'll find plenty of info on the Paris experience,including people's Top 10 tips!

Its due to finish at 23.59 on the 23rd,you should be fine.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news fabduo.Let me say again,no two of these strikes are the same.From what happened last time most flights from the US were unaffected.Once you land at the airport the trip into central Paris by whatever mode may well be more time consuming than usual.Basing this on la...

Oh oh people,seems there has been announced that there will be a General Strike in France on Sept 23.The French are known for this type of thing (on this ocassion I dont blame them as they are protesting against plans to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62) but what is never known is the levels o...

Hey Tiki Bar and dnw, thanks for the good thoughts.Getting VERY excited about Paris now.I've heard that Olympia is a pretty special venue and I know its got an amazing history.Everybody from Edith Piaf to Snoop Dogg has played there!I think this is gonna be the best Paris show so far.And thats sayin...

If I see you Peterb I will introduce myself again!

Peterb, you're not the guy from last year wearing the Netherlands orange jersey with BUFFETT on the back are you?!
We met such a character in O'Sullivans after the show.

Just a query on where the AFTER show festivities are taking place.O'Sullivans has been mentioned by a few people but I just want to point out that there are several places in this chain in Paris.The one we were in last year after La Cigale was O'Sullivans By The Mill on Boulevard de Clichy.However,O...
