Right then you lot.







I shall be gracing the fair city of Paris with my presence for the weekend from the 4th March.



I have no idea where in Paris i will be.



Which is why im posting up now.



I might also not have a phone with me...and the only way for contact will be my sisters landline (if she has one) or her mobile.







Will anyone be around to meet up?

How many people usually turn up to the Eifel tower spin.

Cos I dont want to be the only one who turns up.

Cos that'd be rubbish.

Posted: 24th Feb 2005
Hey eRic .. looking fwd to see ya again

UCOF> last saturday we were smthg like 30 ppl including drummers or ppl that simply watch
it looks like that
https://7robo.free.fr/video/palais2tokyo1902.wmv
In the warm days, there can be more ppl like 100 to 150
so don't worry about the number of spinners
especially if I post in the French forum, that we have the visit of a badass British

Posted: 25th Feb 2005

wow Olive, nice double staff style as well... did you download those 1 minute vids I made of "Stevo" through slsk? they have some nice tricks in it like a double staff neckroll or even a kickstart (where he has an unlit staff on his foot which he kicks up as he does a burnoff with the one in his hand, thus lighting the one that was on his foot).

eRic.

See you tomorrow evening.

Posted: 21st Mar 2005
Thank you for such a lovely evening and im sorry for not posting back here earlier.

For those who will be going to is Paris, I can strongly recommend trying you hardest to get to one of the spinning meets. The standard of spinners is high and there are some really nice people there. The Palace de Tokyo is where i went on a Saturday night and its a great place to spin.

*Paris gets UCOFs two thumbs up award*
