It's frontpage material to ME!! Thanks to all of you for your help. It has made things easier and fun to plan.
See y'all soon!
Maybe Jimmy will do something interesting to make FRONT page!
Usually phjim puts something about the concert and makes links for setlist posting. Maybe we can get him to put SOMETHING up!

He's Back.... Jimmy Buffett to Perform at La Cigale in Paris, France
Parrotheads from all over the world will converge upon the La Cigale Theatre on Saturday, September 26, 2009.
'Will call' will certainly have an ecstatic crowd on their hands as they LINE 'EM UP down the street at 120 bd Rochechouart.
The theatre will open its doors ONE HOUR before the performance. YOU MAY PICK UP YOUR TICKETS AT WILL CALL BEGINNING AT 4:00 pm.
Wooooo hoooooo!
(à partir de 16h00. Nous vous recommandons de venir les retirer au plus tôt afin d’éviter toute affluence au guichet avant le début du concert.)
Can you imagine the excitement of over 1000 Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band's fans
crowding the beautiful SOLD OUT theatre? They will surely keep the 2 bars in the venue plenty busy. DEBOUT! FUN FUN FUN!!!!
The La Cigale theatre was built in the heart of Paris and is a "Listed Monument."
First it was home to cabaret, where the greatest French stars like Mistinguett,
Maurice Chevalier, Arletty, Eugenie Buffet performed. Then later on, Cocteau held
its fururistic parties there. In the 40s it became a cinema, later specializing in Kung-
fu films. IN 1987, the new Cigale was brought up to date and redecorated by
architect-designer Philippe Starck. It re-opened as a multi-purpose venue,
host to some of the most avant-garde artists on the international scene, established French stars,
and various different unusual events whether public or private.
See "He Went To Paris" by Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band
at The New Morning Club in 2008.

You loose a day flying east, If flying direct they won't get here until the evening. My bet is they will transit through one of the big hubs and arrive Saturday morning. Look for 2 really tired people on saturday night.

Yea, I was just going to post also that an email says to please collect your tickets starting at 4:00 p.m. to avoid the crowd lining up and getting in at 7:00.
Please note that you will be able to collect your tickets at the venue box office from 4.00 pm at La Cigale, 120 boulevard de Rochechouart 75018 Paris. We strongly recommend you collect them as early as possible to avoid too much crowd in front of the box office.
Don’t forget to bring you confirmation email and identity document with you to be able to collect them.
The doors will open at 7.00 pm and the show will start at 8.00 pm.
Thank you for your cooperation.

David.....
I have never disagreed with you about your insistance that Jimmy was on stage early - however - both Andy and I do not remember that being the case
Are you sure you changed you watch to french time and were not still operating on GMT
We didnt arrive there until quite late and remember everything running to time......
Just a thought!![/quote]
No we had been in Paris a day.
good news the Paris concert has made the front page of Buffett News, bad news start time of 10pm.
On the Eurostar at midday tomorrow, see you all soon
