[howthelightgetsin]

I've just bought my ticket for Grenoble - can't wait! Who else is going?

[howthelightgetsin]

No one on here going to Grenoble?

Looks like you're on your own mate. I went to Vienne in the summer, but this time around it's Tours for me....much nearer.

[trish]

I'm going! And looking forward to it too!

fil/Phillipe who lives in Grenoble, told me in Vegas that he was going. So Aymi and Trish, you'll have company, and on top of that, Phillipe will be familiar with the area.

[Fil]

Of course i will be there !!

I flew to California to meet him, and Mr Cohen is so kind, generous and polite he's decided to return my visit and come again in France with a night in my own town, Grenoble !

If anyone needs informations or help to find hotels or tickets or whatever it is, just let me now !

Philippe

[howthelightgetsin]

at least I'm not the only one from here

Philippe - do you know of any good hostels in the centre of town?

Phillipe it was so nice to meet you and I am glad you came to Las Vegas and San Jose!
The only time I played the slot machines was after the concert sitting next to you. I put in $1 and lost it all.
You seemed to be doing better than I was..sitting there with that beautiful smile of yours.
How lucky you are to have Leonard coming to your home town.
I will think of you that night!

Thank you Leslie,

It was such a wonderful experience to go to L.V. and to S.J. to hear L. Cohen and meet you and all that stunning bunch of Cohenites.

You can say i'm glad Mr cohen and his band are back in France in March ! Atttending a show every three or four months, that's just what i need !

All the best to you

Hi,

I've just bought my ticket : "carré d'or" BLOC B, row 7 (There's already nothing left closer to the stage ! )

I've got it directly at the venue, cause they sell the best seats (i.e. BLOCK B). I first went to LA FNAC but as the whole tickets are shared between those different tickets-seller, LA FNAC, for example, can only provide BLOCK C, and not even the front row seats.

So don't hesitate to try several websites before choosing a seat, they 're not necessary dealing with the same pack of tickets.

Here the link for the venue's website : le palais des sports (clic on "billetterie") :

I hope many of you will be there !

Best wishes

Philippe
