I updated the post to include the dates I will be there. I still don't know where I'll be staying; depends on which of my friends has some floor space (or a couch, hopefully :P) where I can crash for the night. I do plan on staying 1 or 2 nights in a hostel or cheap hotel.

We're still in the planning stages, but we do hope to have everyone meet up on Dec. 31st to celebrate New Year's Eve somewhere in Paris. Ideally we'd like to meet up in a good bar and drink some beverages (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and hopefully be able to play some Alizée music. After the 1st we can also stop by the Fnac and other stores and also do general tourist stuff in Paris.

[HampsterOnSpeed]

wow...this gives me an idea...maybe I should just sell me piece of crap car and join up with you guys...it would be such a great practice for my french I suppose...hmmmmm I will think about it

[Max_07s]

I want to join it..but my final exam is near at that time..but if I have a time..I will go..put my name in list..but its not confirm yet... :P

[Snatcher42]

Hey... given that alot of you guys already know each other in person and I'm still kinda new, I was wondering if I'm even welcome to this thing? If so, put me down as a maybe - I'm not really sure of my schedule around that time yet.

[Riccardo]

Snatcher42, why not man, you are welcome.

[Max_07s]

yeah..I also dont know each of them..this is my 1st time I have been in Europe..and I want to celebrate in paris this new year..but..and for u guys info..i'm not drink alcohol..

[krazykanadian]

That's no problem, Max_07s!

It is possible that I can go to this fan meeting. I have to think about it though. If I were to go, I'd want to stay for as long as possible. If I can only be in Paris for a couple of days, then it would be hard to justify the cost.

[Ron V.]

I wish I could say I've got space for pals to crash, but I tried to let a buddy (an Alizée fan) crash last monday, and my host lady flipped out on me. Anyway, I look forward to seeing you guys again.

[Max_07s]

hope this meeting will be great...so..Mayhem..do u go to that meeting too?

[AlizéeInMYHeart]

oh, that sounds like lots of fun......too bad I can't come...I don't have the money (curses the civil-service salary :x )

[Ron V.]

Yeah, unless something unexpected comes up, I live here, so shouldn't be too hard, Max.

[Jaycubed]

You better be there!!! :P

and i will be there of course and i think i'll sort out the dates soon enough so the rest of you know

[Max_07s]

i want to know..how the new year celebration in Paris..my friend said that its boring..i dont know...maybe if u have an experience can tell me..

[DragonKL]

Boo... I wish I had the money to go to Paris. Gotta start saving up my paycheck. Too bad I'm only an E-2 in the military pay grades. Guess I gotta get more promotions if I want to afford a trip. Guess Ali will have to wait for a few years to see me ;) haha. :mrgreen:

[Pistacho]

Is this only a meeting of fans? :?: It will be nice. But i won't be able to go there. No money and the university...

but... if you come to Madrid maybe I can do the meeting :mrgreen:

[Bard]

Hey Ron, nice to see ya, dude. You literally disappeared from MSN two or so months ago. (Yeah, I did too, but I checked in to see if I could catch you from time to time)

How's going?

[IronRodent]

Too bad I won't be able to make it to this one. But if there's ever going to be another meet up in the summer...say around 18 May to 22 June...I might just be there!

[Backinblack]

Too bad I won't be able to make it to this one. But if there's ever going to be another meet up in the summer...say around 18 May to 22 June...I might just be there!

Hopefully I'll be living in France by that time next summer...

[Piece Of Paradise]

Too bad I won't be able to go this year or next year, for that matter. My stupid military conscription takes up too much of my time, and I really feel down being in the army. So maybe mid 2006 and later?

[Przemyslav]

;(;(;( I won't be able to get there in New Year's Eve, it's to far for me :( f*%king distance (Poland - France), if i have my own car.. there will be any chance (maybe)... enjoy your meeting and have fun :D:D don't drink a lot :]] :afro:

[Maju]

Nice idea only, that we Poles probably mum za far To France so costs are large also ... :( I know howdon't different, but I will settle in Paris :) how I will learn well French :) Alizée is see with my dream :oops: ....... it is every of us Probably such dream what ?


I greet all Fans Alizée :wink:

[Starski]

I have to see....maybe I can come...but I can't say it now. I would really like to meet some of you for the first time and the others for a second time.

[fleutice]

Nice idea. Meeting for New Year's.

But I can don't to go. I speak don't englisch :cry:

[Prometheus]

Well, at the moment it looks like I can't afford it but, we'll see. Sure would hope to go.

[snajper]

mogl by ktos to przetlumaczyc na Polski?? bo mi sie nniechce z angielskim meczyc:(

[UK Fan 2003]

Sorry guys, I am not able to go. My parents said no which made me pretty upset... :cry: :cry: :cry:
Sorry again, hope you have a great night though...

[Snatcher42]

I'm 99% sure I'll be there... just won't have the exact dates until I purchase some airline tickets. Looking forward to finally meeting some of you - it should be alot of fun. :)

[Riccardo]

mhh yeah we should make a starting point, any recommendations?

[Przemyslav]

a starting point


hmmm maybe the eiffel tower :D everybody knows this place :D

[kris]

well, i'd love to go there of course and maybe i`ll go beacause on the 2nd January i have 18th birthday so the meeting in Paris on the New Year`s Eve would be a great gift for me.

małe tłumaczonko: forumowicze chcą zorganizować spotkanko w Paryżu w okolicach Sylwestra.Można się zgłaszac; nalezy podać datę kiedy się tam i jak długo by było oraz hotel(miejsce) w ktorym się zatrzymamy.

[Riccardo]

well my bday is on 31.12. and that would be great! :mrgreen:

[AS Monaco]

Great Idea, maybe I'll come to Paris!!! It would be great. But I must look ^with my holidays and with my frienda here in Germany!

[Przemyslav]

well my bday is on 31.12. and that would be great!

hihihhi that's very cool. celebrate your birthday (raise toast) :D:D and everyone will bring his native liquor (vodka). party move on :D:D ps. russian vodka is the best :D

[n@pster]

russian vodka is the best

:thumbup: smirnof is the best :D :thumbup:

this is nice idea, but i from poland, and i am fifeteen so i can't go to paris to sylvester (parents...)

[fleutice]

I have really Envy to come, but my englisch is verry bad.

Then I can don't come :cry:

[Backinblack]

fleutice, il y a aura quelques membres qui parlent français (quoique ce soit pas leur langue maternelle). Et il y aura peut-etre des fans allemands si tu parles allemand.

Je vais peut-etre demander aux membres de l'Alliance si certains Français seront déjà à Paris, qui nous pourrions retrouver s'ils le veulent.

[fleutice]

Merci.

En ce qui concerne l'allemand pas de problème. J'ai d'ailleurs déjà posté dans ce forum.

[Starski]

Et oui...ton allemmand est très bien...pas de problème.... 8)

[Przemyslav]

you will come to understanding somehow :):) it will engage translators :mrgreen:

[Riccardo]

hey, no off topic please and be constructive here please. if u r sure to come tell us to add you to the list.

[Snatcher42]

Daniel (of the German Alizée Fanclub and Museum) was mentioning something in mIRC about a New Years Party at his place, to unveil some of the museum renovations (including a DTS theater system).

Is anyone here planning to go to that, or is Paris definitely the way to go?

Also, I see Mark and Petsku will be in France from Dec 30th to Jan 5th... anyone else know their dates yet?

Just asking before I start looking at plane tickets and hotel reservations for myself!

[Max_07s]

i never been in france before..so I didnt know where should I stay if i get there..

[aaaa]

I don't want to sound like a killjoy but isn't that quite expensive: the flight (I live in Germany) , the hotel, drinks etc...?

[Backinblack]

I'm going to Paris regardless of parties elsewhere. I'm not going just to meet up with Alizée fans; I'm going to visit other friends in France as well. And just to be in France again justifies the cost for me. 8) Of course, it will still be cool to meet other Alizée fans in Paris again. :wink:

I'm going to get reservations for 4-5 nights in Paris, and I'm staying 1-2 nights in Orléans, depending on how long my friends there can put up with me.

[Jaycubed]

I'm going to get reservations for 4-5 nights in Paris, and I'm staying 1-2 nights in Orléans, depending on how long my friends there can put up with me.

ha i love how you say that..."put up with you" 1-2 days is stretching it then a little ain't it? :lol:

Well as soon as i get my next bit of money i'll book this trip now so i can give definite dates, as it gets closer it gets more exciting

[loff]

no money.. i'll think about working to get some if icyhot comes, so we can make fun of him.. :wink:

edit: and then there's ofc the fact that i can't say i know the ppl who comes very well, no offence intended :)

[Snatcher42]

edit: and then there's ofc the fact that i can't say i know the ppl who comes very well, no offence intended :)
Well, same here more or less, but that's why I'm going - to get to know them better!

[fleutice]

I come in Paris, but for this moment not sure.

Where's in Paris, Paris is big and where's meeting point?

[Tapetor]

Hi guys, I am not sure if I can come. I hope that I have time.

[morpheus9999de]

Hi, So if Ricci and Tapetor have time that i hope we can go together one more Time. I think its a fantastic Idea!!!!

I hope i can come!!!! :bounce:

[Riccardo]

Hi, So if Ricci and Tapetor have time that i hope we can go together one more Time. I think its a fantastic Idea!!!!

I hope i can come!!!! :bounce:

that would be great, any chance my gf is able to come with us morph?

[krazykanadian]

It looks like I could potentially go to Paris for 8 days. That's not too bad, but I'm wondering whether it will be worth it. Taking into account all my expenses, I'd be spending around $1000. Considering that I've already been to Paris and France, it's hard to justify. But if people like Riccardo and morpheus go, then perhaps it's one more reason to go.

[Backinblack]

Just a few precisions on what I plan to be doing and a few suggestions for an itinerary:

I'll be flying out of Dulles and arriving at Charles de Gaulle on Dec 30 at 7:10 a.m. Then I'll head to Paris and meet up with whoever has already arrived. That day and Dec 31 we can check out shops, tourist sites, etc. For that evening, nothing concrete is planned yet; I'm waiting to talk to Ron about that.
Then Saturday and Sunday (Jan 1-2) will be holidays, so I imagine not much will be open then, except for tourist sites. Hopefully the weather will be good and maybe we can spend some time just walking around the city.
Then, depending on what my friends in Orléans are doing, I'll take the train to Orléans and spend Jan 3rd with them and then come back to Paris sometime on the 4th. Anyone who wants to come visit Orléans with me is welcome to do so (be warned, there's not much to see :P). Then on the 5th my flight leaves at 12:15. :(

I would have wanted to spend more time in France, a week or more like krazykanadian might be doing, but my university thought it would be great if they could make the students come back from Christmas break a week earlier than usual, so with school starting again on the 10th, I have to be back a few days earlier to get things arranged with teaching and everything. As for my expenses, I'm figuring around $800, including flights, lodging, food, souvenirs, and other miscellaneous things.

For others who are going, let us know what your suggestions are too.

[Petsku1]

umm yeah..im buying my plane tickets tomorrow
...(if im not überly tired after the work :P )
for these flights:
dep : 30 Dec 09:30 Helsinki [HEL]
non stop / 03h 05m
arr : 30 Dec 11:35 Paris [CDG]
dep : 5 Jan 15:25 Paris [CDG]
non stop / 03h 00m
arr : 5 Jan 19:25 Helsinki [HEL]
(man that's cheap 250€ 8) )

i don't know about the hotel expenses or any other expenses yet
....but i'm sure 750€ is enough... (+ Sean, remember the 70€ :P)

as for the suggestions what places/sights to visit... i have to think more
but besides the usual sights i was interested to visit La Locomotive...
the night club, heh... in 6 days we surely have time to do lots of things.

ill come back to this soon

[Jaycubed]

remember the 70 euros?? how could i forget :P

don't worry it's all part of the plan for me, as well as a few other things i'll keep a secret for now 8)

[morpheus9999de]

Hi, So if Ricci and Tapetor have time that i hope we can go together one more Time. I think its a fantastic Idea!!!!

I hope i can come!!!! :bounce:

that would be great, any chance my gf is able to come with us morph?

Yeah thats great, she must come with us. ohh that are a funny situation 4 People in a VW Polo :mrgreen:

[Max_07s]

my final exam is near at that time..but I'm 70% can join this meeting..hope nothing happen in last minute...and who else go to paris from london? this is my 1st time i go to paris..and i really dont know how much money :wink: should I bring

[kris]

but my englisch is verry bad.

well, my is quite good(i think so), but actually i'd have to speak English first time with people whose it is their native language for , so i`m worried a little about it.

Just asking before I start looking at plane tickets and hotel reservations for myself!

i`ll look for too, but only look. i`ll probably know if i`ll go at the end of December(unfortunately)
I don`t know how much would it cost.I hope the hotel and flights( i'd stay for 5-6 days max. , i think so) won`t cost more than 1000-1300 ZŁ!(ABOUT 250-300 EURO)is it possible ? Does anyone know how much cost a night in a cheap hotel or hostel in Paris or websites with those informations ?

[Petsku1]

http://www.reservations.bookhostels.com/poyhtari.com/findabed.php?ChosenCity=Paris&ChosenCountry=France

here's some cheap motels/hotels

[Riccardo]

cool guys, but if i come i dont care about a hotel, i hope i can get a place to sleep somwhere in my friend's apartments...

[Tapetor]

Hi, So if Ricci and Tapetor have time that i hope we can go together one more Time. I think its a fantastic Idea!!!!

I hope i can come!!!! :bounce:

that would be great, any chance my gf is able to come with us morph?

Yeah thats great, she must come with us. ohh that are a funny situation 4 People in a VW Polo :mrgreen:

That is wrong morph, now I have a VW New Beetle

[kris]

But the most problem is how to persuade my parents and make them let me go .
They want to buy me a very good bike or HI-FI system(i hope you know what i mean). I`m also wondering when is better to go : in winter or in summer ?
I know you organise those meetings also in summer...

[Piece Of Paradise]

Well, kris if you are still under the guardian of your parents, then it's best to listen to them. They care about you and your safety. There's always a later time.

About the timing of when to go, I can't say because I have only been there during winter. So I wouldn't know.

[kris]

There's always a later time.

Later? When? When I'll be 25-27? Not till then will I be able to earn money(probably, if i had a job)and go.If i don`t go in winter this year or in summer next year( what my mother and my English teacher advise me)there won`t be another chance to go to Paris, not till will I earn money.Otherwise it won`t be the same going there being 18 and ex.26.

[Snatcher42]

Good luck, kris - hope your parents understand.

Anyway, I booked my hotel today:

See you guys there :!:

[fortezza]

I just found out about this Paris meeting last week, and ( last I checked ) I need two months advanced notice to get a good price on tickets ( $846, last I checked, with that much notice, less notice = higher price ), then I have to deal with the fact I work full-time and only have 2 days vacation ( started job in July of this year ), and finally, getting enough money together for the trip/hotel/parties is another obstacle. In short, I need a miracle to make this trip.

Just in case I find a couple of grand (usd) laying around the house, my boss give s me free vacation days, and the airlines/hotel reservations go well, what are dates/locations we should all meet? Is there going to be some type of web page dedicated to the trip to help people coordinate activities ( i.e. someone want to know where everyone else is at, how to contact them, etc. )?

Oh and any advice on Travel agency / Airline/Hotel for the trip would be appreciated.

Thank You,

[Backinblack]

I think we're going to plan to meet up on December 30th. Most people will be staying until Jan 5th. As time gets closer and we get everyone's flight arrivals, we'll find a time and place to meet. I figured we'd just use this thread to coordinate everyone's arrivals and lodgings, unless someone wants to set up something different. If you're serious about going, you need to look into hotels as soon as possible, because they're filling up fast. Of course hostels are the cheapest way to go, if you want to do that. If you're a student, sometimes you can get fairly cheap tickets on studentuniverse.com.

I've found lodging for 3 nights so far: the 30th and 31st at the Eden hotel in the 20th arrondissement, and then on the 4th I'll be staying at the Woodstock hostel. On the 3rd I'll be staying with a friend in Orléans.

[Piece Of Paradise]

Later? When? When I'll be 25-27? Not till then will I be able to earn money(probably, if i had a job)and go.If i don`t go in winter this year or in summer next year( what my mother and my English teacher advise me)it won`t be another chance to go to Paris, not till will I earn money.Otherwise it won`t be the same going there being 18 and ex.26.

Well, you can always ask your parents to lend you some money when you are 18 and then repay them when you have the money.

[Przemyslav]

I agree with u Kris. Money are the main problem. :roll: :roll: I think I will get in competitions part, maybe something will win :D and i must join to mafia :mrgreen: :cheesy: :mrgreen: :cheesy:


1000-1300 ZŁ!(


Jezus CHrist :!: :!: :!:

[Riccardo]

[morpheus9999de]

[tern]

So uh, what are you all gonna do when you meet up?

[Riccardo]

[Max_07s]

yeah..90% to confirm it..now i try to get a reservation for room and get a ticket..so when we will meet..i think i will go there 29 or 30th dec..

[tern]

Well have a great time guys. I wish I could be there, I love everything in and about Europe.

[Max_07s]

come and join us ternuc...

[tern]

Haha, I wish I could. I was only just over in Europe for 100 days not even 2 months ago. Already I want to go back.... but now is not the time.

[BLADEEK]

Hey guys...haven't seen u a lot...how r u all?....how it's goin' with Alizee?
I think till that i also maybe go to your New year eve...and maybe at last i'll u see ya all!!!
Have a good time with Alizee...gl...=)

[Max_07s]

urm..are u guys go to museum..i just want to know whether i have to buy museum pass or not?

[Riccardo]

Museum, in Paris. I don't think so. But I did that before of course and soem places were really nice.

[Snatcher42]

Dunno about the rest of you, but I do plan to spend a day or so at the Louvre... and of course anyone is welcome to join me (or not).

[tern]

Dunno about the rest of you, but I do plan to spend a day or so at the Louvre... and of course anyone is welcome to join me (or not).

3 hours there is all you need. My brother and I went through almost every room and saw the Mona Lisa. It really is ridiculously huge and I wish the French wouldn't hog all the things they ransacked from other countries along the way. All-in-all very interesting. Be sure to see the things on the guide. I'd only heard of two things that I saw there before I went.

[Snatcher42]

Oh, I know - I've been there before. But three hours? Na, not enough: I spent a whole day there, and did see alot (though not everything)... but it was my fav part of that trip to Paris, so I want to go and do it again! :cheesy:

Incidentally, I know I've said this before - but that trip was also when I first saw Alizée (Moi... Lolita music video on TV in the hotel room). Ah, memories...

[tern]

@Snatcher42
My favorite part of being in Paris was seeing Lance Armstrong win his 6th consecutive Tour de France and seeing the Champs de Elysses lined with American and Texan flags. It almost brought tears to my eyes... :cry:

[DavidAlizée]

Its supposed to be a fun time, not a school trip lol...

[Backinblack]

Or you can do like we did in January, go there an hour before closing time and run around and try to see as much as you can in one hour. :cheesy:

[tern]

For some the louvre is fun (not me of course). It was enjoyable from a "I've seen this and you haven't" perspective for me. I can't imagine paying so much to spend only 1 hour there. That's like 10 bucks!

[Max_07s]

my friend said that a lot of people go there...i dont think easy to get in..by the way..i will reach 28th with my friends..this is our 1st time in paris so we decide to go around paris..and I will join u guys when u had set the meeting time.. are u guys go walk around too?

[Riccardo]

yes why not, i mean i nearly was at the most improtant places but i dont midn being there twice or more...

[Max_07s]

cool..we will meet on 30th or 31th? and i forgot..i will go back on 2nd January..I just bought a camcorder from eBay..I hope i will get it before I go to Paris..

[Snatcher42]

Probably the 30th, but we haven't set the details yet... I'm sure we'll go out partying or something on New Years Eve too. :cheesy:

[Max_07s]

wow..that's great...party all night..ahahah... :lol:

[Snatcher42]

Oh yeah: a bunch of wild Alizée fans let lose in Paris on New Years Eve? They'll be no stopping us. Them French ladies better watch out! Watch me impress em with my language-skillz: "Bonjour, prenez-vous du fromage?" Rawr!

[Petsku1]

finally made the reservation for me and Sean... also for Mark
for the nights between 1st and 2nd ...2nd and 3rd of Jan.

Superior Room... 140€ per night

Superior room of over 19m2, perfect for business and leisure travellers, great for families, with high speed internet access, satellite pay tv, minibar, air conditioning and in room safe.

Superior Room... 140€ per night
:shock:
for you only?

No, silly. It's a room for him and Sean for 5 nights plus I'll be staying with them for two nights as well.

[Snatcher42]

Cool, I was looking at that hotel too when choosing mine. Looks nice, and big - another Holiday Inn... its site says that the nearest metro stop is the rail-intersection Guard du nord, 2 km away - but I think there must be some closer, as on a map it looks like it's right on 5 lines (also mentioned in its description). Good price too, as my room came out to 125eur a night, but that's just for one person...

So next we should start planning what we want to do and when... :)

[Jaycubed]

You know when you're respected when you can call the owner of the Forum "Silly"

Way to go Mark :P

[kris]

It seems i won't go. My parents don't want to agree. They say it's dangerous to travel alone, be alone in Paris. I told how i'd provide against being attacked, losing money, passport etc., but they say no! They don`t want to hear about it.They say , they'd let me go only in summer.Why not in winter, they don`t want to explain.

[Pawel]

kris
I had exactly the same problem with going to her January concert. Well... actually it wasn't a problem, cause I didn't care what my parents were saying. 8)
I'm already planning to spend this New Year elsewhere, so I'm not going. But maybe on another occassion I will. We both could go, so start saving money. :P

[Backinblack]

Yes, for anyone who is unable to make it over New Year's, start looking at plans for a trip during the summer. That should give us plenty of time to get a big meeting organized (including the Alliance forum too). Who knows, maybe Alizée will be promoting again by then.

[Snatcher42]

^ Yes, though another thing to consider is that, for those who care (such as moi), Mylène Farmer will be having some concerts at Bercy one year from now (January 2006)...

[Backinblack]

Yes, I bet there will be a huge reunion of Mylène fans (many of whom are obviously Alizée fans as well) when her concerts roll around. Fortunately for me, I'll be hitching a ride to Europe with my aunt and my grandma around that time. 8)

[britkit]

I'm interested.. is this for this year or no?( sorry , I skimmed thru the thread and didn't read much)

[Snatcher42]

Yup, about 3 weeks from now...

[britkit]

Sounds like fun... I'll bug my fiance to come with me(He's American and doesn't really understand french. He went with me a few months ago and freake dout pretty bad. LOL. My parents live in Brittany and told him he has two years to learn french before they stop talking to him in english)

[tern]

@Kris
When I was trying to get back to Paris Nord my Eurail pass was rejected for the RER underground subway to there so I was forced to walk about 2 miles through the worst part of Paris (hookers, strip clubs, no street lights) and it wasn't so bad. But, it's not for everyone.
Summer of next year is probably too soon to get money together. Anyone wanna talk summer of 2006? That's world cup time in Deutschland, I could totally go for some border-hopping though.

[kris]

Yes, for anyone who is unable to make it over New Year's, start looking at plans for a trip during the summer. That should give us plenty of time to get a big meeting organized (including the Alliance forum too). Who knows, maybe Alizée will be promoting again by then.

I had asked about summer meeting before. How big chances are there for it ?The main reason for i want to go is to buy her singles (the most ACC), and i'm afraid that the later i go the less chances i'd have to get it.

[Moco]

Well, you're right about one thing. The longer you wait to buy the singles, the more difficult it will be to find them. Last I checked, the ACC single and Maxi-single are still available on places like FNAC.com, Amazon.fr, and Amazon.com. So if you can only make it to France in the summer, I suggest you buy it online while it's still available. Because trust me, I'm still looking for the singles from the Gourmandises era and they're not easy to find. I'm also kicking myself right now because FNAC recently had several of them available for a few days but quickly became unavailable the moment I wanted to buy them. :?

[krazykanadian]

Well, I probably won't be able to make it to this fan meeting. I just don't have time to prepare for such a trip, and it's really hard for me to justify the cost for such a short trip. I've already been to Paris and done all the touristy things before, so essentially I'd be going just to meet people from this forum at a time of year when it is going to be really cold. Besides, if I were to go, it would be from Dec. 26th to Jan. 2nd, meaning that I wouldn't be able to hang out with you guys for too long before I'd had to leave. If there were a concert like that of Jan. 17th, 2004, then that would be a bigger reason to go. With that said, it would be a real privilege to meet some of you, so hopefully I'll get another chance in the near future when it makes more sense.

For those lucky enough to go, you can check out the ice rink on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower!

[Petsku1]

A shame that you can't come.

But the ice rink, I was laughing the same thing yesterday.
hmm should i take my hockey stick and puck with me...
:mrgreen:

[username]

thank u but

i will celebrate with alizee

:scooter: :date: :surprise: :tvhorror:

[kris]

you can check out the ice rink on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower!

I wanted to tell you the same! Have a great time there.

Please, tell me if ACC single is available now in Fnac or such shops. I'll probably try to go there as soon as possible.I wonder if I can get anywhere Moi Lolita single, but French version.I haven't got a credit card, but my father has a card which he use to pay in shops, but I don't know if I could pay by it(could I ?). But if yes maybe, maybe maybe he would mercy and lend me it, if he didn't agree for going to Paris.If I bought online,I would only on website which is translated into English.

[serge]

Hi there, it's been a while that i've been here.I bought the dvd from the concert and i tought, i have a look at the site to see what they have to say about it.
I love to come on new-year evening but i have to work,grrr....to bad and during the summer it's the same story.Sorry :oops:

[fleutice]

Je ne peux malheureusement pas venir :cry: . J'ai des obligations. Je regrette vivement. ça sera pour une prochaine fois (j'espère).

Sorry to make of french, but I speak don't englisch good.

[Max_07s]

Parisians skate on the ice rink set 57 meters (188 feet) above the ground on the Eiffel Tower in Paris Thursday Dec. 9, 2004. Lodged between two of the tower's immense latticed steel legs, visible in background, the rink is not big at 200 square meters (2,150 square feet), but adds a new dimension to the breathtaking views from Paris' best-known landmark. It will remain open until Jan. 23, 2005

i just know about this today..ehehe..now I can skate in front of eiffel tower...i'll be in paris on 28..but i go walk around paris before I meet with u guys on 30 or 31..is that ok.. :P

Going down south to California for about a week and a half. May be able to find a coupla minutes here and there for Alizee, but I doubt it. I will always have her music with me, though. Merry Christmas all and Happy New Year!

[Finnn]

Man, if I could go to Paris, I would so be there. I don't really like America, but I just started at a new job, Oh well.

[Max_07s]

i want to know..where will we meet..? and what time?

[Petsku1]

hmm... ill be arriving on 30th and then be checking in to my hotel near 2pm...
with Sean (most likely) ... so from around 4pm on that day any time would
be ok for me. And for the meeting place/point i thought Bastille...
or is it too crowded there... any other suggestions?

[Pistacho]

Hey guys! What is the plan finally? How many people are going? We want photos!! :wink: and enjoy the party! :P

[Snatcher42]

You can see an updated list of who's going on the first page of this thread (though Max_07 should be on the "sure" list now)... plans, hmm: guys, we should all chat online sometime over the next day or two - an MSN conference or IRC room or something... lets work out the details.

[Max_07s]

yeah..because i will go to paris on 27th..so better we discuss it as soon as possible..

[Snatcher42]

Oh, that is soon! Ok, I've made an IRC room: "#ParisTrip" on DALnet... anyone going, feel free to stop by there or IM me on MSN or AIM... I'll be around most of the night.

Ok, here's all the hotel info we know so far... please let us know any missing details like phone number, metro station, and if you don't mind, your last name (so we know who to ask for if we have to call the hotel). I'll edit this post as new info comes in:

[britkit]

Is there a certain day and meet up place for this? I have no plans and now I'm interested. I just need to know whats oing on at least a day in advance so I have time to get there.

[Snatcher42]

^ We're working on it... though some folks haven't been online for a few days, so not everything is set yet... the first meet up for those already in town will probably be on December 30th... then some more people are arriving on the 31st, so we'll meet then too for some New Years activities, and plan things from there...

[Pawel]

Have a good time there. Happy New Year.

[Moco]

Hah! My first stop in Paris after checking into my hotel was that very same FNAC near the Bastille! Man, I wish I could've gone again this year. Hope you guys have fun.

[Backinblack]

Bastille FNAC works for me.

[RR]

have fun guys. i'll just wait for the next fan meeting (and to get enough money) before i'll meet up with you guys.

[Max_07s]

yeah..save enough money to get here..so BIB..when u arrive to paris? 30 or 31st?

[britkit]

Sounds perfect to me... I think everyone here know's what I look like... if not, look for the short thing wearing pink & black with cat earrings.

[Ramon_Morales_Jr]

HAPPY NEW YEAR IN PARIS !!!!!!! :mrgreen: :cheesy:

[Zeka]

Have fun and tell us all about it when you come home.HAPPY NEW YEAR.

[Snatcher42]

TY... dunno if I'll be able to get on the net while over there or not, so in case I don't: see you all in one week, and have a VERY HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
To everyone coming: see you soon!

[IronRodent]

Bon voyage ! Amusez-vous bien !!!

[Akbar]

Je souhaite vous rencontre Alizee en Paris.
I hope you will feel really good in Paris. I wish you all A happy new year and all your dreams become reality ( Alizee also) (except nightmares) :lol:

[Backinblack]

Finally got into Paris after being delayed for a day in the States. Hangin' out with Sean, Ben, and Petteri. Waiting for Riccardo and Ron to show up (they ran into a little trouble at Ron's place :cheesy: )

[Pawel]

I hope that you're going to send postcards to cheer up all who couldn't go ;)

[Lía]

oooh hope u have a gr8 time....!! Paris is wonderful 2 celebrate new years... sooooooo much better than london!!!

Hope everyone in Paris is having a great time...!!!
Speak to you all soon! :mrgreen:

[loff]

dunno when you'll get home so i'll make this topic before anyone else gets to do that.. and i get a free post this way, which is also very nice (yay, posts !). i'm extremely disapointed, i was in paris today and no one came to say hi (i was located at the airport for approx. 1 hour). anyway, we want details about the meeting, pics and stuff like that..

[DavidAlizée]

:laughbounce: poor Kim

[Moco]

loff, did anyone know you were going to be there? I don't see your name on the list, so that might be the problem.

[BLADEEK]

Happy new YEAR RICCI!!!! and all of u who are not in GMT +2... wish all the best...and everything u're supposed to do come true....GL in new year!!!

[Riccardo]

Update from Paris:

Yesterday we walked around, and walked around, and did some more walking around. Ron forced us to drink copious amounts of alcohol. :D We celebrated the new year at the base of the Eiffel Tower, but some of us were unfortunate enough to be exposed to the effects of tear gas. After a night of very little sleep, we're hanging out at the hotel. Pictures of the mayhem will follow shortly. :cheesy:

[fleutice]

Thank you for this Update.

J'espère que tout ce passe bien et que vous passez des moments agréable.

[UK Fan 2003]

Thanks for the update Riccardo!

I hope everyone is having a good time in Paris and that you have taken lots of pictures to show us all that couldn't go... :cry:

Happy New Year to you all, Best Wishes! :wink:

[DragonKL]

Damn I wish I could have been there.

Maybe next time... too bad I don't drink but I don't think that would have made a difference.

Ah Paris... the city of lights, how I yearn to see it. :D

[Max_07s]

sorry for u guys cos not show up yesterday..i was went to versailles with my friends and celebrated new year at eiffel tower too..but I had met with snatcher..petsku..jaycubed..sorry cos i dont know what extension for u r room to told about that..hope u guys enjoy at paris..

[Moco]

We celebrated the new year at the base of the Eiffel Tower, but some of us were unfortunate enough to be exposed to the effects of tear gas.
Tear gas!? You're going to have to explain that! :shock:

[tern]

Woohoo, I am back. Trip to California was awesome. I got to see the girl for me whom I have always loved and will probably someday marry. It was awesome to see her at least once a year. I also got to see my cousin who is my favorite relative and one of my best friends. She and I are like brother and sister, or at least ones who get along :P.

Anyway, hope all of you are having a wonderful time! Paris is such a beautiful city and it's nice to go somewhere and be able to see people who you know but have never met. Put up the pictures!!

[Orion]

I am so envious! I wish I was there in Paris with the guys. I will have to wait for next time or for her next album and maybe go to a concert together. I want to be with people who I can talk about Alizée with, and who would understand!

PEACE!

[tern]

I am so envious! I wish I was there in Paris with the guys. I will have to wait for next time or for her next album and maybe go to a concert together. I want to be with people who I can talk about Alizée with, and who would understand!

PEACE!

Agreed, many people I know can't understand this addiction of mine. They agree she is beautiful but somehow steer clear of her intoxicating personality. It strikes me as odd.

[Orion]

Don't use the word "addiction" when around your friends! They would not understand. They hear addiction and they think something that is not deep for you! Like me, I am sure there are many people who will say that they are not addicted to her - it goes far deeper than addiction!!! :(

[tern]

I only say addiction because she is inside of me and I cannot stop myself from thoughts about her. It is much more than that because I enjoy it being that way. I only say she is my bad habit and such as a joke because to others it may appear that way. You guys are the only ones who can understand.

Sorry, I am off-topic. And so I say this: I wonder what those fans in Paris are doing right.....NOW.

[Orion]

I knew that! I was talking about others who would not understand use of such words. Yes, have you seen the new pic in the gallery? I see Sean, snatcher and Ricc. Who is the other guy? Oh, that beer looks good! DAMN:(

[DavidAlizée]

Snatcher, Mark, Ricc and Sean

[Orion]

Thank you! If you ask me, this is more enjoyable than . . . .before *cough* and how it should be :)

[tern]

@Orion
You think that beer looks good to you?? I'm 18 and I come back from Europe and now I can't go out and get a drink somewhere with my friends. What a step backward. Good pic guys, looks like fun.

[Orion]

Oh! It's 21 in the states, right? Well, if I was there I'd buy us a two/four and just drink to our heart's content!! I feel sorry for minors hehe . . . err . . . sorry

[DavidAlizée]

Thank you! If you ask me, this is more enjoyable than . . . .before *cough* and how it should be :)

:wink: yep!

Thanks. Sounds good!

[Orion]

@ David:
OMG!!! mutual agreement. Sometimes these damn forums make people out to be something they are not. I guess it is because there is no sense of what type of emotion the other person has when posting something that appears offensive in some way. I bet that face to face, there would be more understanding when someone speaks.

If we ever meet at a Paris fan meeting someday, I will have to buy you a beer (if you drink)

Sean was right: kindness is better than confrontation! For laughs, maybe we should beat up Sean when we see him in Paris! Test his mentality, haha

[britkit]

if he drinks..lol my dear.. he drinks like afish when he finally drinks..don't you david!*nudges* he pratically bathes in the stuff..lol.. oh getting back to topic.. i was spose to go.. but im battling a case of strep at the moment... its not being very kind to me.. i wish i could have went to see riccs..*giggles* anyway...

[tern]

Thing is, a summer fan meeting would be so much better for me. As long as I'm shelling out $600+ for a plane ticket and eurail pass I might as well spend a month or two over there. Then I can return to my deutschland.

And yes, it is hard to see peoples' emotional state when they post. That's why when I mock somebody I always put one of these guys ":P" at the end. AKA haha, I really think that but get over it.

[DavidAlizée]

@Orion.. yes i totaly understand that, and yeah.. ofc i should be there at the next one. hope to see you there also. Yeah sometimes those little faces that people post can be sarcastic even when they are not supposed to be lol

@bri.. lol! I don't drink alot, almost never, but on NYE.. eeek, i was out of it. Like wise with Brit .. my little vodkagirl :P

[Orion]

@britkit:
I'm sure Ricc knows, hehe. btw, do YOU bathe in the stuff? becaus if you do, we have to meet and bathe together . . . . um . . . yeah!

@ternuc:
But I work many hours in the summer . . . I guess I can take a week off, though!

[Orion]

Like wise with Brit .. my little vodkagirl


something we should know?? Smethings are beter left unsaid, i guess. The truth is out, britkit!

[tern]

Like wise with Brit .. my little vodkagirl

Head over to the pics thread. She thinks things seem to be pretty serious between the two of them. Vodka is sweet, but I drink in moderation.

[britkit]

lol... try 4 pints straight in 10min... it was awesome.. i was grabing the carpet and cryingbecaus ei thought i was falling off earth and iwas afraid of being chopped up by my ceiling fan...and about bathing in the stuff.. i try to keep that too a min. lmao

[tern]

@Britkit
Haha, wow. Hope nobody saw you in this state.... Ceiling fans are far more dangerous that most people imagine.

[DavidAlizée]

and look now, its 7.11 am, and we still can't sleep hehe

[britkit]

lol...were you still covere din your drink?..lmao

[DavidAlizée]

lol yes, hehe.. wayyyyyyyyy too much. But bri.... 4 pints!. i remember when you put half a bottle of vodka down ur thoat in a few gulps hehe..i kinda blanked out after that. and now i know why we are awake at 7am lol...
we are both in recovering mode lol

[Jaycubed]

Update number 2...

Just got back to our hotel, yep, 7:25am. After hangin out at the bar for a while, Mark and Petteri are here and Ron and Ricc are still in town drinking the hours away till Ricc heads back to Germany. You have to believe us when we tell you, Ricc has not slept since he arrived in Paris 3 days ago. :P We haven't seen him sober since we've been here, and we have pics and vids to prove it!

And such a small world it is...At the Longhop Bar in Paris, we met a fellow forum-member, Antonio from the Spanish forum. (pics to follow)

And about the Tear gas, we all got totally totalled by it. We really were in the wrong place at the wrong time. And directly from Mark: "Tear gas burns like Hell!" :mrgreen:

[Snatcher42]

OMG, you guys just got back? :shock: I left ya all at that bar around 1am... I just woke up and am planning to head out for the day... I'm guessing you all wont be up for gallivanting! Heh heh.

Oh, PS to everyone... I've uploaded another pic of the gang to the gallery... it should be appearing soon. And expect a full report once I'm back in New York.

[Z3R0]

ricc sounds like quite the partier 8)

and tear gas ha oh man i bet that burns. kinda like pepper spray i heard.

[tern]

Wow, calm down you guys. So what did you all talk about? Speak english or what?

[morpheus9999de]

Hey man, it was really great in Paris!!! At the Eifeltower was a big Party!!!!! :mrgreen:

[Riccardo]

I just got back man, woaw the last day was great but somehow horrible too :D i will tyr to get some text written till the next 2 days... hopefully we can get all the pictures....

those who have some please email me for getting that ftp account to upload them....

[Orion]

Wow! tear gas, intoxication and insomnia. If those aren't the signs of a great time, I don't know what are (Really, not kidding !!). Next year, if I'm there, I will have to add to that list, hehe.

[fleutice]

Oh je vois que vous avez passé d'agréables moments.

Si une nouvelle rencontre se fait au prochain Nouvel-an, je ferais tout pour pouvoir me joindre à vous.

Et riccardo je t'enverrai un mail pour le compte. Merci par avance de ton partage.

[loff]

no moco, i don't think anyone knew. i didn't myself before the 30th.. but paris isn't that big (comparing to the rest of the world), and 5 (?) ppl are more than one.. shouldn't be *that* hard to find eachother :P

[tern]

Haha, just noticed Ricco's posts are leet (1337), but not for long I'm sure.

[Manu]

Ok, we'll be waiting for pics!

[Snatcher42]

[ArlettyFan]

If we were to "see" Alizee that easily, I'm sure we would have all sold our families in order to make the trip! :P

jaycubed looks like justin timberlake to me..hehe

[Orion]

Timberlake is fake; Jay isn't!! Still, though, I do not see the resemblance. Besides, Sean is better looking than Justin. And . . . . . . . . . . why the hell should I care anyway lol . . . . . . . . :oops:

[Z3R0]

[Orion]

hehe, as you can see, I snapped out of it just in time! phew 8)

[Snatcher42]

Well guys, this is it... we all head home today. It's 4am now, and I obviously can't sleep... I'm so sad about having to leave Paris and all the great friends I made here. We really had a wonderful time. I took lots of pictures (77 at last count), and those will be online very soon. Petteri took even more (somewhere in the vicinity of 400!), and those should be up too at some point. I'm also working on finishing a personal log of the trip along with my own reflections. But I'm just posting now to thank everyone involved for making this an experience I'm sure none of us will forget. In particular:


Azrul for going out of his way to meet us despite his busy schedule.

Riccardo for being "the man" - such a cool dude and true party animal!

Ron for showing us his favorite bars and for being our fantastic host.

Petteri for being a fellow metalhead, functioning under extreme intoxication, taking all those pictures, and walking closer to my slow pace.

Sean for being the first person I met in Paris, and the one I spoke with most - both during the trip, and before it for planning.

Mark for being the oldest and wisest among us, speaking French when no one else could, and guiding us through the streets and metro lines of Paris and Orleans.


I'll miss all of you, and I hope we can meet again in the not too distant future.... As for Paris, man have I fallen in love with this City. I will one day return, of this I'm sure.


To Alizée, the reason for everything, who brought us to this place.

[ArlettyFan]

If you just read snatchers post, do not read mine yet. I did not go to paris, and as such, my post is not nearly as beautiful as his. Remember his last line about Alizee. Now close your eyes, take a breath, and have a few moments for her. Let the wonderous enjoyment of both Alizee and the beautiful city of Paris sink in.


If your ready, read my dumb post now. If not, save it for tomarrow :D


If we do this again, we better pick a better date. Like start on the 27th of December, some of us have to get back fast after new years! And I know I'm not the only one to say this. 8)

[Snatcher42]

Well, some of us did start on the 28th. Myself on the 29th, more on the 30th, and the rest on the 31st.

[ArlettyFan]

ahhhhhhhh see the 31st is trop tard. I would have to head back on the night of the 1st, i guarentee it. Some of us have work/school on the 2nd or 3rd.

[Snatcher42]

Heh, then you better just not come, I'm sorry to say. On the night of the first, everyone was totally wasted... on top of still recovering from the previous night. This is a New Year's party after all - you gotta be there for New Years Day! Hopefully there will be some sort of summer fan meeting.

[Max_07s]

i like the word "To Alizée, the reason for everything, who brought us to this place".

i think thats the reason we met in Paris. And u guys are cool dude. Maybe I will join in next meeting again if I dont have busy schedule (i hope not).

[britkit]

Whew that was an earful.

Glad you all had such a great time and I like Snatcher's idea of a summer fan meeting. Those are good.

[fleutice]

I am too sad :cry: (de ne pas pu avoir faire celle-là).

When is a new meeting?

Sorry for my Englisch. I speak don't very good this language.

[Orion]

^ fixing your english cause it bugged me lol... its phrase.. not word!*winkx* and no.. i don't have a crush on jaycubed..and i hate justin timberlake..and..um..orion are you gay buddy? you are judging men.....

Gay?? hahahahahahahaha . . . . . . . .ha! You should read this babe:

[AKMS]

Gay?? hahahahahahahaha . . . . . . . .ha!

:shock: :mrgreen: :cheesy: I'm crying.

[Orion]

hehe. Women!! can't live with them, can't live without them (Lili excluded, ofcourse)

[Petsku1]

The trip didnt go as i expected....or had thought how it would be.

but...

Yeah, it was truly a great trip... or should i say UNBELIEVABLE! :P
big thanks to everybody on my behalf too.

many unforgettable moments.... and moments that i already have forgot ( :mrgreen:) heh.

ok, i might write a short report too or just add my point of view to Bens report. roger and out for now.

[AKMS]

paradox. isn't it? cursed circle... damn.. we says "No!" but meet inevitability sooner or later...
I'll move to war. no lie, no women

[Orion]

You should use a better translator, hehe. Men and women might lie, but not their hearts. And, to keep on subject, I hope we meet in Paris next time and show these guys how to party! Tear gas is lame by totay's standards :P *cough*

[tern]

Perhaps just the fact that it has come up twice is cause for speculation... j/k You all good man. Funny stuff. I'll just keep my eyes on Alizee.

[Orion]

I'll just keep my eyes on Alizee.


You'd be crazy not to . . . . . . . . . . . or gay! hehe, sorry :lol:

[britkit]

lol.... so defensive..and orion darling.. what you say to a group of men you dont know and hang out with i dont care// i know many gay men who play it straight... but if you are gay i dont care..and if you arn't then the same as well... but serioduly..all this men commenting on how other men look thing kinda..is a bit..odd... i have seen it lately and they tell eachother they look "cute" or "good"

[Orion]

Britkit, I said it to Sean because he is my best friend here and I was trying to tease him; we talk on MSN and we are like brothers, so I know him. Now, I think you are a little obsessed here, or just teasing me. :zzz: You are thinking too much about it. Don't waste your time. Anyway, I think you are beautifull and I will only make love with the opposite sex. Now if you still want to question me and waste some more time, then that's your loss. But, you are too beautifull to be wasting your time on such worthless things. Now that's odd! :flush: hehe

[Manu]

Hey cool pics, guys. Keep em coming! =)

[AKMS]

Orion,

You should use a better translator,

it was joke, btw
seriously war have more truth.

[Antoni Martinez]

Hi people, this is Antoni, from Spain, we met in that pub at the first of december night... I hope that you'll remember me cause everybody was a bit drunk :wink: Until next week I wont have the pics I took, I'll open a post at the Spanish forum. Hey, please remember me the nicks of all the people who I met in Paris.

[Petsku1]

Yes, it was a bit of a surprise as we ran into you by accident but it was great to meet you.

the guys you met there: Snatcher42 (Ben)... he left before we took the pics.
the rest: ofc Riccardo, Backinblack (Mark), Jaycubed (Sean), Mayhem (Ron)
and me (Petteri)

I will upload the pics soon.

[Antoni Martinez]

^ Yes, it was great to see you! At first I saw Riccs (the only one I could recognize by photo) and when I asked him if he was really Riccs and I met you I was glad :)

[Backinblack]

Got back home today, a few random musings:

First off an apology to Sean, Petteri, and Ben for the taxi ordeal in Orléans. Although without that, we wouldn't have had "Unbelievable!" :D

Second, thanks to Ron for taking us around and showing us the nightlife in Paris. I was a little burned out in the end but it was worth it. And when I mean "burned out," I'm not just talking about the burning sensation I felt in my eyes as we were leaving the Eiffel Tower. :cheesy:

I realized I walk a little too fast for Ben and Petteri. :wink:

Riccardo's antics in the bar and restaurant on the second night were priceless.

If only I hadn't been tired the whole time (average of 4 hours of sleep per night). But I guess that was expected.

More priceless quotes:
After stumbling back to my hotel at 6:30 a.m. on New Year's day, I get a call from Riccardo at 11:00: "Hello, I'm somewhere near the Hotel de Ville and I haven't slept all night. Can you come find me?" Then a few minutes later, a call from Ron: "Hi, I'm somewhere outside of Paris and I'm nowhere near the metro and my battery is almost dead."

And now, a very random collection of stuff I bought from Fnac:

A big Mylène book, her Bercy and Mylenium Tour DVDs, a couple books on French grammar, and a few children's books in French for my niece. That drew a few strange looks from the clerk and the people in the checkout line at Fnac. :D

Thanks to everyone, Sean, Ben, Petteri, Ron, Riccardo, Morpheus, Tapetor. Also thanks to Antoni for recognizing Riccardo in his drunken state. :D Max, maybe I'll be able to meet you at a future fan meeting. Let's hope next time we have a concert or a TV performance we can meet up for.

Finally, thanks to the German TV channel which introduced me to the show "Brainiacs" and also, of course, to Sweety das Kuken. :P
