We had a Paris and Nice gathering thread some time ago, but it has remarkably disappeared...
Anyway, if you are going to Nice and wish to meet fun guys like Gazza, Egon and myself, then please PM me your cell phone number. |

yes:
where,
when
how
& what?
Is the Nice summit a go? |
|
|
| Gazza |
A few folks from IORR are lookin' to meet up too so we should probably all arrange something between us. Agreeing on a suitable location should be the only issue as none of us are 'locals'. |

Egon could be considered a local, so he is in charge! |

in principal i say the old town.
the only problem might be getting from there to the stadium.
it's not really walking distance (not for me anyway).
I have no idea if there are any bars near the stadium itself.. |
|
|
| Gazza |
I'm staying in the old town. There appears to be good bus links to the stadium going by the website, but its not really walking distance. |
|
|
| egon |
unless anyone knows a nice bar next to the stadium,
i say we meet up in town.
i guess we could always get a taxi to get ot the stadium...? |

Remember that after a board reaches 150 topics, the last 50, including sticky messages, are moved to an archive. |

OK...You are in charge, Egon. Go for it.. Remember, I am chronicling your adventures.... so this must be memorable  |

as theres only 3 or 4 of us so far, its hardly 'major summit' material..lol
I'll mail everyone later plus a few of the IORR folks and maybe we can bang a few heads together and get a suitable place to meet up
Hopefully a few of our other French semi-regulars can help us out and would like to join us (Fourchette, Le Paul, Jacques, MW etc?)
and as Villefranche is literally about 10 minutes away by train, a trip to Nellcote at some point on everyone's holiday is essential. Hopefully I'll be able to find it this time. Thanksfully, a few folks have given me some ideas!

that we're aware of as its been posted here before - but thanks for the reminder in case anyone missed it - theyre also planning some gathering on the beach in front of the Negresco after the show (which seems a bit bizarre)
its the afternoon of the show we need - thats the only one I can get to. |

Partying on the beach is IMHO a way to avoid losing all your money in the fashion bars of town, they will probably have tons of beers  |
|

I predict horrific accidents. The beach in Nice is full of rocks and pebbles - not like the sandy ones in other towns nearby like Cannes, Juan-Les-Pins or that little one at Villefranche
Someone's foot will be "wide open"

The beaches are all STONES...how approriate...but the stones are all rounded...not jagger...I mean jagged...There will be plenty of beer on the beaches...those Heinekins and 7ups are only a a few seconds away as the beach porters are constantly singing away their wares...
The Negresco is where the band would stay I would imagine...or at Bono's house the next town over up the coast. |

gazza, should we call each other before?
I mean, i wouldn't wanna have another "london summit" debacle
on my hands... |
|
|
| Strange_Stray_Cat |
Beach? Rocks? I want a cocktail bar ! |
|
|
| egon |
only 6 more days and we still have no plan,
no meeting point, no gathering, no summit, no nothing
It's london all over again! |

Fear not. Something will work out in the next 24 hours or so...
