RIO Fest in Carmeaux, France, in 2009

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)

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!

Ten days to go (even less)

I don't see why you should suffer.

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'll also be there, but yet unsure how and how long.....

Yep!

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.
