We are arriving from San Diego Sunday Sept 20 and leaving Tuesday Sept 29 ! :D !
We have tickets for both Jimmy & Jake [smilie=giggle.gif]
The last time I was there was two years ago for Jimmy's first show...I took my Sister
for her birthday. I expect I will be seeing the some of the same faces that I have in my pics
from June 07...I hope!
It will be great to meet you. We were also at the first show in Paris so may be on your photos somewhere.

We are going to see Jake on the Thursday followed by the saturday show. A few of us are then planning to get together for a drink on the friday, as some people do not fly in until then. If you can join us you will be most welcome. No location etc yet but will arrange that a bit nearer the time.

Cheers !

We don't have anything planned for Friday (at this point)...our biggest problem is that we do not have a cell phone
that will work in another country, we barely ever use the ones we have here so it is hard to justify a new iphone.
If you have a meeting place figured out before we leave on the 19th, that would be great; if not we can find out where on Thursday at Jake's show.


:o :o :o :o :o

I haven't even thought about the cell phone not working over there.
So no DD's from you and Barbara, huh ? 8) :lol:

Okay, I figured it out and purchased the tickets. How does the seating work for this place? I have 2 tickets for:

CAT 2 DEBOUT. Is this general admission?

You must be on the 2nd level. ORCHESTRA Debout is standing on the ground floor in front of the stage!

Some of us are planning to meet up for a drink friday evening - you are welcome to join us if you are in Paris by then?

Up to 1400! which I guess makes it similar to the venue in London. A lot smaller than most US venues.

Don't know how the numbers are distributed between the floors........

Yeah No Shoes, you hit the nail on the head there. I've been to Paris a couple times since '02 and most places to eat weren't what I wanted.
Last time I did find a decent little place on the Champs but can't remember what it was.
The first time we ate at a Hippo place that didn't do much for me. Hell, this time we'll probably just go to the little Irish pub near Sacre Ceour and have a pint and some bangers & mash.
Must be nice to be there now. We'll be landing on Sept 19 to embark on our 3oad trip thru EU then back to paris for the show. Can't wait.

Steve from Vegas is not going and I have his booking reference and a copy of his passport, with a letter authorising me to collect the tickets, can your Hubby call and see if this is going to be ok?
