Hey everyone,

Christmas is coming and Patchou is coming to town. I'll be in Paris for the holidays and as I already got several emails from people asking if I would be able to meet them there, I'm making this official announcement.

If you have nothing to do on December 27th and want to spend some time with fellow Messenger Plus! users in Paris, you're invited to come meet with us. The date is fixed to the 27th and won't be changed. We'll meet sometime in the afternoon and go have a drink, get something to eat, whatever you want to do in fact, I'll plan something more carefully once I'll know how many people will be there. Even if I would like to invite everyone interested, the number of people could rapidely become way too high so unfortunately, I have to restrict the invitation to people who are active in the community, including msnfanatic's forum, mess.be's forum, this forum, and any other Messenger related forum.

I will offer to all the attendees a meal and a drink (give your thanks to the sponsor ). I'm sure we'll have a good time, after all, this is not called a "community" for nothing! I'm counting on all of you who's been on this forum for so much time. I rarely go to France and I'd really like to meet my users&helpers to talk head to head for a change .

If you're a qualified attendee, please send an email to **edited (invites full)** , I will get back to all of you next weekend with the precise time and location. The deadline is December 20th, not a day more (I won't be home any more after that date).

Note for those coming from other countries: if needed, I'll pick you up at the train station (or equivalent). I'm reserving the whole day to meet with all of you so, even if the "official" meeting will be in the afternoon at a fixed location, I see no problem in meeting with some of you earlier in the morning so that you don't get bored to death.

Thank you
Patchou

I am so annoyed that I can't get to Paris, I mean, what 14 year old could! Maybe you should go to London sometime to meet up with some of the British users of the Messenger Plus! Forums . Then I would happily come and see you, believe you me, if I had the money I would definitely come to Paris, but I can't afford it to be honest .

Have fun anyway ..

London is really nice btw, maybe you should go there sometime for some sight seeing

Hey Patchou, hope you have a great time in Paris!  It would be great to go along and meet others in the community, but I'm not allowed abroad for another 18 months

Never mind, maybe next time.  Have a great time meeting all your fans

It's great to know about this, but I have no family, friends in Paris in whose house to sleep (and I don't think I'll have enough money to spend in a hotel).

I'll think about it: 18h in train (there and back) may be worth the meeting!

Good Luck to you there Patchou!! If you have any souvenirs of the sculptures pls share to us.

I've already send the mail. I'm comming. As for how I come, dunno, maybe by train (although very expensive), maybe by car (but I need a GPS then cause I'm hopeless )...

Staying overnight? dunno, it is possible to go back the same day by train (to Belgium/Netherlands) if the meeting isn't till the night though. For others, there are many cheap hotels in Paris also, (youthhostels), maybe I'll do that too, dunno yet.

But, when I can drive (I hope so, although the car wouldn't be mine, so let's hope) I can bring 4 other people from Belgium/Netherlands....

All depends when we have more info (like location/time).

are you paying the plane ticket?

err... no?

Well, I can't go to Paris either, but great idea and, for once, POST PICS! 

(or send them to your web designer so that he makes a special section )
