I've met a lot of HoP-ers through the past few years, and everyone allways said that they'll have to come to Paris one day !!
Therefore, this is The Right Opportunity for you spinners to invade sunny Paris

I'm a member of Paris juggling association: "les ballapapass " which has been organizing "Balles Habilles à Belleville" (the convention) for the past 9 years.
This year we have the opportunnity to make the night-shows & open-stage in a very close artistic-squat ("La Générale"), where we'll be able to provide everyone with a nightime place to juggle & to accomodate everyone for FREE (so bring your own sleeping-bag)
As every year we'll have lawns to juggle, an amphitheatre for shows, sunny & warm weather warrantied by MeteoFrance (35°C & no rain for the past 8 years), and loads of French girls !!!

Here's a glimpse of the current program:
==> daytime juggling, circus & street-art shows:
- this year, as our main international headline, we are proud to announce:
" Rubber Heart Duo ", staves spinning & juggling show
- "Liugi & Gino", socially-involved juggling show
- "Xavier", automate/robotic show
- "Pich", contact-juggling show
& a lot more shows to be announced (we're still in the selection process)
==> concerts:
- "Balbazar" orchestra
- "Par la gauche"
& a lot more gigs to be announced soon
==> indoor night shows (to be announced soon)
==> all-night-long open-stage & renegade
==> juggling olympics
==> free breakfast
==> workshops
==> make-up & hair-undressing stands
==> Tale-teller brigade & magic close-up
& more


I've already got some confirmation from some of the best German & Irish spinners coming, so book your flight/eurostar/thalys tickets early, as the prices are still dead cheap & this convention 's gonna be HEAVY
Looking forward to see you spin / juggle / chill / sunbath / do the open-stage in Paris

Yay!!!

This is gonna be class!!!

Thanks olive...

hey olive
sounds great it really does and in the process of trying to book flights but the dam website is down.

thanks again olive and see you in paris

Any one looked into good ways of getting there from Bristol/London?

I would do myself but that would invole doing something (which is best avoided)

durbsing?

T&B: From Bristol with britishairways,..I guess is cheaper from london,..easyjet.com,..Hope that helps. Anyway they must be lots of more airlines from London,..

count me in, i'll be there

the day that all my exams finish, so a perfect excuse

that and my girlys birthday.

and she'll have gone home to paris that weekend, so lots of fun stuff

just booked tickets *does a little dance*

See you guys in paris!!

hmmm... i could tell my girlfriend i booked her a holiday in paris for that little weekend away we were gonna have...

.. but i don't think i'd last long if we rocked up at a juggling convention. might be a bit risky...

lol!!!

any one going over on the train, want to go as a nice big group????

i'll be dissapearing most of the 28th but still, going to bring a few friends with me as well.


woooo

going to be fun, i miss paris

I think I've been persuaded to go by a tim.

So now how to get there? Plane or train or Automobile?

oooooh this is soooo damn tempting

strugz what dates are you booked on the eurostar??

Right
I'm in montpellier at this time but will have just finished a spot a French schooling anmd although theoretically I will still be staying with my host family, I don't think they'll mind if I leave a day early. have also found that going by plane will be cheaper and quicker than the train so might just have to invest in some tickets
Didn't think I was going to be available for this when I first heard about it so feeling pretty good now

Is there any chance that I would be able to stay over somewheere on the Sunday night as well?

Erm - a tempting offer.
Let me see when I get back to Europe.
How and where do I apply for being in the show?
1/2 of SOLAR could be there

Well done to you and the rest of the paris crew for this
i'll be arriving on the 24th and i'd be happy to help with the setup of anything.A place to stay would be lovely Olive, and perhaps I can help with the tidying up afterwards for a day or two aswell
good times...

Mr Flip...

Am going to try to figure out this week if I can make this... would love to...
