If I may.....

This comes from the hotel owner at Cap'Découverte

If had to cancel due to important family business/problems last friday, the couple that checked in to my room instead was more or less welcome to do so, but under their names, instead of usurping the name of the person who had reserved it for me......

BUT THE ROOM WAS NOT PREPAID..... So when they (the couple) left without paying (probably assuming it was)..... is leaving one of the organizer/host with a hole in his accounting

This will probably not hurt the host too much, but it's certainly not a good thing that this unfortunate happening falls upon him, and might dampen his (the hotel/facility owner) spirits in future events of the genre....


If by any chance someonne (the couple) recognizes their "politically incorrectnerss", could he gat in contact with the owner????


I'm not saying it was someone on this board, butb it would be nice if the (I will write the same post in Prog Archives)

If anyone gets near a computer with an Internet connexion, could anyone tell about the events? I'm not sure to be patient enough to wait until the CD or DVD of each band.

Well for the second time in a row, it looks like I'll have to pass up on this....

first time was for health reasons


this time is for family reason


I've seen Guapo 5 times, Magma 7 times, UZ a dozen times, Present also... Aranis seven times



I was really looking forward to seeing them another time, but I really wanted to see Yolk and The Muffins for a first time. Heyward and the Japanese group were just bonus


I was hoping of talking Joris Vanvinkenroye (of Aranis) to play his contrabass solo between groups in order to promote his first solo album called Basta!

Just a quick message to all those of you who are heading to Carmaux - have a great time, I'll be there in spirit (if not in fact). I've seen Charles Hayward and Yoshida Tatsuya this year, and I'll be seeing Magma next month in London, but I really regret missing the Present/UZ concerts, especially as I've never seen UZ live.
 
And especially to Martin & Hugues - eat, drink and be merry, it would have been great to meet up with you guys again but there's always next time - hopefully I'll be seeing you again in the near future.
'Like so many of you
I've got my doubts about how much to contribute
to the already rich among us...'

 what about meeting saturday morning in the breakfast room of the auberge. I will put some distinctive sign on the table let's say a Gentle Giant CD...I know Victor (77)  & Hugues (Sean Trane) so for the others who want to join look out for GG on the breakfast table!
PS I will put optionally on the table Potemkine's Nicolas II ( the band came from the region, from Toulouse)

Hello !

It's a great pleasure for me to be back to RIO festival far from Japan again!
In 2007, It was a fantastic experience.
I'm very looking forward for those days in there and all the concerts
especially Charles Hayward and Univers Zero.

See you in Albi and Carmaux soon !

...But I haven't done any preration for long journey yet.

I wonder if I'm not going to suffer the eight-hour long train trip: it sounds less complicated.

I've also thought about flying straight to Toulouse but it's a way more tiring trip from the US (you have to wait almost a whole day at the NY airport before leaving to Europe) and also more expensive than to fly to Paris and then taking a train to Carmaux.
I did this same itinerary on the 2007 edition (flying to Paris then taking a train) and I really loved the train journey because even though it's a nine hour trip, the views that you see are beautiful so it doesn't even become tiring. I really recommend taking the train instead of flying to Toulouse.
I'm taking train #3641to Carmaux on Thursday 17th departing at 2 pm and arriving at Carmaux at 10:55pm.

I've also checked out the trains from Paris to Camaux, but it looks like a very long ride, isn't it easier to just fly to Toulouse?
Which train are you taking?

That's great!
I'm gonna get there on Thursday night and I'm gonna be staying at the hotel of the festival called cap d' couverte, so I'm probably not gonna be taking the shuttle too much (maybe one day to check out the toulouse museum) but I'm most likely going to stay around the festival area.
I'm really excited to see all of the bands but specially Magma, Koenji, and the Univers Zero/Present concert.

Hello,

I will be going for sure to this 2009 edition of R.I.O on September.
I already have flight tickets, train tickets, and reservation in festival area.
I will be flying from Los Angeles to Paris, then taking a train from Paris to Carmaux
I went to the 2007 edition and it was fantastic but surprisingly the line-up this time got even better!
So count me in for sure (A friend of mine from texas is also going and we're meeting up in Paris)
Anyone else going for sure?

Life is terrible: I'm not sure to be able to come.
If I'm lucky, I could begin to work around the 1st of september. How could I ask for having a four-days holiday after only two weeks at my job???
And how could I "pray" for not having this job???

Damn poor timing. In Europe for three months and I leave a week before the festival... I'll have to think about changing flights.
