Je peux pas.

Merde.

Désolé...

moi non plus.

I know!
It clashes with the *only* weekend all my non-spinning mates are getting together...
This year is not a good year for festivals - everything seems to clash this year

Don't forget me Olive I'l be spinning like a maniac with you :P

I so look forward to that
gotta see how your triple poi has improved !!

Yay Festiflam

Comment ca va mes amis?

I'll definitely be at this one. In fact I'm researching the travel details at this very moment. I was hoping maybe people might be road tripping from England but if not I'm also looking to meet up with people traveling from Paris.

Olive, I'm guessing you're going this year again. How and when do you plan to get there?

A tres bientot.

G.

im totally up for this, i dont have anything stopping me, except id need to find a cheap way there from england as im on a backpackers budget..

will have a look into it though

wow more brilliant spinner coming

G / Pete> I'll personally will be travelling by train Paris to Montpellier (depart thursday eve or friday morning / back on monday night)
I reckon the easiest way to travel from the UK is eurostar (2.5h) + TGV (3h)
You guys can have a longer stop in Paris if you feel like it
Pete, if you're running on low budget, I can investigate car sharing with the parisian I know.
I personally will be taking train, cause the driving takes at least 7h

thanks olive.. ill look into in.. but if you can get me a lift, that would be awesome..

also.. i want to go to paris at some point before i leave this part of the world (september).. im just not sure when.. am trying to sort out places to stay before i get there, so i dont end up having to pay for to many hostels

@pineapple pete: you can also take a flight to montpellier,
the cheapest company I found is bmybaby, and people from montpellier can take you at the airport....

This festival will be amazing !!! For shure I would be there...
If people needs some information and contact in France you can ask me
Hope to see some of you there!!!

It will be 4 great days! I can't miss it

I hope to meet you there! see ya

See you on fayafestival my friends !
