Thread title as coined by baaderonixx...

So my project seems to have ended early so I have less money and more time in Paris than expected. This is the thread where ex-paris ilxors as well as the few current residents talk about the cool cheap stuff to do, especially in and around the 18th and 10th arrondissements!

Or just babble in faux français.

Bloody frogs, always nicking our ideas.

They all wear berets and they're all called Jacques,
They even steal from us the words they lack
Le weekend, Le Camping and cul de sac
That's why I hate the French, oh

so i'm in.
about the time we have to take into account the fact that the bar will be packed on saturday evening and it may be very hard to find a table (dunno how many we will be though).
we'll also have to find a way to recognize each others... un beret et une baguette sous le bras ? a rose in the hand ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 27 February 2006 16:30 (twenty years ago)

some M.I.A t-shirts?

― Le Baaderonixx de Clignancourt (baaderonixx), Monday, 27 February 2006 16:34 (twenty years ago)

I shall attend in spirit.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 February 2006 16:36 (twenty years ago)

some M.I.A t-shirts?

funny, i've had the same thought. has MIA become the symbol of ILX ? a mascot ?
maybe a tshirt with a picture of Ned also ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 27 February 2006 16:38 (twenty years ago)

Now we're talking.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 February 2006 16:43 (twenty years ago)

I would love to come to this, as I really need an excuse to go to Paris again (cannot believe it was all a year ago, I was there...) but I have too much dirty dronerock on this weekend.

(sorry for using your pic without asking Ned but it was there, crying to be the mascot of the FAGOW...)

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I have no problem with that at all!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

(Besides, I'm wearing a Cranes shirt and Cranes did an all-French album once so it all works.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

(ah, for a second i thought you had a Chanel Paris t-shirt)

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:04 (twenty years ago)

― Le Baaderonixx de Clignancourt (baaderonixx), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:05 (twenty years ago)

wow. that's not a baguette. i could see you dressed like that Baaderonixx. undercover in Pigalle style...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:07 (twenty years ago)

We will burn a candle for you at the Sacre Coeur, Ned.

― snowballing (snowballing), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:38 (twenty years ago)

Ah, I am still awaiting the confirmation from the dozy PR responsible for sorting my trip, hope to be there Thurs/Fri.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:45 (twenty years ago)

er. so you wouldn't be in town on saturday ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 27 February 2006 17:58 (twenty years ago)

Might be. Publisher will probably sort a night's hotel and am waiting to see if best friends in Paris who live in Rue des Martyrs itself (oh yes, I am a lazy sod) will have me for the rest of the weekend.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 27 February 2006 18:14 (twenty years ago)

hum. okay. well, let's hope you can make it then.
ok, i'm leaving the office now. time for the aperobic !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 27 February 2006 18:18 (twenty years ago)

OH BY THE WAY SATURDAY IS MY BIRTHDAY ahem

― richardk (Richard K), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:12 (twenty years ago)

so are we on with this? saturday at fourmi? 9ish?

― Le Baaderonixx de Clignancourt (baaderonixx), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:17 (twenty years ago)

Tomorrow, that is. 9ish sounds good. I think I will reserve the table

― richardk (Richard K), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:19 (twenty years ago)

Have fun. At this point I think the only way I will join you EVER is if some publicists die painfully and/or they rename the airport Paris-O RLY.

― suzy (suzy), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:20 (twenty years ago)

guys, we still have to find a way to recognize each others...
suzy, i think there are plans for a new name for roissy : YA RLY, i believe.

― Poison(Ivy) (PoisonIvy), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:27 (twenty years ago)

oups, by the way, i'm alextc using the cpu my girlfriends uses usually so i forgot to change the username... (she may join us at la fourmi tomorrow).

― Poison(Ivy) (PoisonIvy), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:28 (twenty years ago)

Boule de neige, are you in?

― Le Baaderonixx de Clignancourt (baaderonixx), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:35 (twenty years ago)

Poison(ivy) is a guest ilXor so she should also attend!

― Le Baaderonixx de Clignancourt (baaderonixx), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:36 (twenty years ago)

once I randomly attended a DC FAP and just said ILX ILX ILX to everyone I saw until someone lit up and said 'yeah!'

― richardk (Richard K), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:17 (twenty years ago)

that was probably just some guy called Alex though.

― the kit! (g-kit), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:19 (twenty years ago)

hah! No reservations chez Fourmi, but I guess 9 is early enough for there to be room, right?

Distinctive characteristic: White scarf.

― richardk (Richard K), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:32 (twenty years ago)

I think at my first ever FAP I approached a table full of likely looking people and asked if they loved music.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:35 (twenty years ago)

bump because my birthday celebration looks to be quite shabby as is..

― richardk (Richard K), Saturday, 4 March 2006 02:20 (twenty years ago)

Hey, happy birthday Richard. Is it possible to meet at La Fourmi a bit earlier (8'o clock would be perfect for me) ?

― snowballing (snowballing), Saturday, 4 March 2006 13:49 (twenty years ago)

I can try and get there around 830 but I think everyone else has stopped checked the thread, so 9ish it is.

― richardk (Richard K), Saturday, 4 March 2006 14:32 (twenty years ago)

Don't bother, I'll be there at 9.

― snowballing (snowballing), Saturday, 4 March 2006 14:38 (twenty years ago)

Remember to chant my mighty name to summon the others. Or something.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 4 March 2006 16:36 (twenty years ago)

Arrghh, wont be able to come finally... Sorry about that, and please do get drunk for me (and for Ned).

― snowballing (snowballing), Saturday, 4 March 2006 18:08 (twenty years ago)

are u online richard ?

― Poison(Ivy) (PoisonIvy), Saturday, 4 March 2006 19:46 (twenty years ago)

Nope, wasn't online--great time, though! I've been hung over all day, struggled through the insanely crowded Salon d'Agriculture strangely drowsy instead of headache-y. Post or email the pics!

― richardk (Richard K), Sunday, 5 March 2006 22:35 (twenty years ago)

Bah, a Paris FAP and I wasn't aware of it. Then again, I don't know anybody here. But it must have been nice and all.

― Jibé (Jibé), Monday, 6 March 2006 00:03 (twenty years ago)

Now you can know about the next one.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 6 March 2006 00:14 (twenty years ago)

eleven months pass...

― RJG, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

I will be in Paris! In June! Fancy a fondue?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

don't think I'll be in paris in june unfortunately

― RJG, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

Hey - until when will you be in town? March looks difficult, but maybe I could come down in April.

Is richardk still in town?

― baaderonixx, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

end of may, I should think!
