guessing this is another hoosier gig?
their are alot in france :O
does that mean the 6th of the 11th month
or the 11th of the 6th month
i don't actually get which one goes first because everyone does it differently :s:

[MrsBonzo]

haha, okay thanks!
It is quite confusing though i must admit!

[laurence]

I've just changed it Sorry in France we put the day before the month!!

If someone knows this sort of motor's event...Help me!! I don't understand at all how they can perform? Where?

[Delmea0203]

I thin it will be a concert with a few bands, before or after the race.
I can't go there, I'm in school.
Are you going there Laurence?

[laurence]

Actually I don't think so! But I finish my exam the same day in the afternoon and it's not so far from Paris...It woud be really crazy...I mean to go to a motor's course that I usually hate...But it's so tempting i need to know more about it...AAArgh what an irritating dilemna!! It will be simplier if they perform directly to Paris!!

[MrsBonzo]

really? i love cars :D
haha and are you going to go then ?:p

[laurence]

:dontknow: i've checked my exam's planning and I finish in the morning so it's possible...But this motor's context impressed me...Who will be the audience? do they come for the Hoosiers or for this motor course?
I'm fed up to not succeed to find more informations about it!! :dong:

[Delmea0203]

I think the audience comes for the race, sorry.

[laurence]

Yes I think so!!



...Poor them!! They will probably need some support, won't they? Hihihihi

[Samia]

Oh... I'll b in holiday on June.. :D




But le Mans is toooooo far from Sttasbourg -_-' :D

[theHoOSiERs-x]

Yeah they will thats why you should go and more people will care about the race so you can get more hoosierness;)

[laurence]

*Seriously thinking about it*

[theHoOSiERs-x]

haha awesome :thumb:
how much is it?

[laurence]

It's not really expensive 26 or 28 euros and indeed they have a special price for students... and it's the same price for the transport for go and return! So the total would be around 50 euros

[theHoOSiERs-x]

thats quite cheap

[laurence]

You try to convince me, don't you? :D

[theHoOSiERs-x]

*Well more people that go more pictures and cool stories that come back obviously i want you to go.. you have to go!!!!*
Nah im not

[singing chick]

i mite go it sounds cool

[laurence]

Ooh I can't stop thinking about it...I will probably take tickets this week

[Delmea0203]

Yessssssss!!! We've finally succeeded to convince her!!!
* see laurence*

'Oh, that's quite good for you!'
lol

[irwinisthebombyey]

i can't go. if its more than 10 miles away. i can't. and i live in england. so.... thats like 11 miles right?

[laurence]

Sometimes there is some low cost flight...Check it...It may be easy to convince some adults around you : a nice trip in France in a beautiful historic town + a motor event well-known...AND the hoosiers (the best part)
I think you have tools to plan a machiavelic process of persuation!! :D

[laurence]

I've got my ticket!!...I wait Lucinda...I doesn't want to be alone in the motor's sphere lol


It's a little bit crazy : I don't even know if I coul return by train the same night or if I have to sleep there...and where...we will see...

[Delmea0203]

Wow, so you'll see them the 11th!
Take pictures or videos please!

[Samia]

You're so lucky :D

[elaviel]

I'm so excited about going! Does any one know who else is playing on wednesday night?
:wave:

[laurence]

No idea Elaviel!! Do you come from Caen?

[elaviel]

Caen?wheres that?

I live in england!!!!:driver: :driver: Going to see the cars lol!

[elaviel]

The support band is Fiction Plane! BTW

[laurence]

Excuse me I was tired I supposed you were French from le Mans(and not Caen)...Oh you come from England...How long wll you stay there? One day or for the all event? Have you already seen the" 24h du Mans" or the Hoosiers? Sorry for all this question but it reassured me a little bit I've never been to this sort of motor event...

Maybe I'll see you there! ;-)


Thanks for the information I like Fiction Plane's music : great band!!

[elaviel]

I'm going for the whole event wednesday till sunday! The hoosiers are just the worlds biggest bonus!!!!

You just going for the wednesday night then?

[laurence]

Yeah just for the Hoosiers but I will try to understand this motor world a little bit!! I don't know yet if I will sleep there or if I will come to Paris just after...It's depends if there are still train this night!

Will you go with your friends or parents?
Hey you should present yourself, shouldn't you? ;) Yeah I'm too curious sometimes so you're not bound to!!

[elaviel]

Its a car race on saturday about lunch time that finishes the following lunch time 24 hours later, what more is there to understand lol!

Going with my dad and his mate, my lot let me down!

[laurence]

Not understand the race :D but more people who like it...understand the interest of this kind of event!! Actually I don't really like much this motor event but who don't know, maybe to see the circuit live make me like it!! (I don't know if my sentence is understable...Sorry if it's not!)

[jules]

I can't believe that I'm going to Le Mans for the race and turn up a day late to see the Hoosiers (and Fiction Plane who I rather like too)

[elaviel]

you should come early! where you starting from?

[jules]

Sadly the tunnel is booked (and a hotel for the night before we go).

[laurence]

:wave: hello Jules glad to see that you'll come too!!
If I understand you also come from England!! Cool!! I don't imagine that it was so "international" as event!!

I hope it's not too huge...and I won't feel lost!!

If somedody has already been there and tell me how it's organised I will feel more reassured!!

[elaviel]

Organised?/????????

no idea!

[elaviel]

alot of people will arrive wednesday for the weekend race but it depends on ferries, tunnels and time off work!

Wednesday is the first day you can get into the campsites without paying extra so its always a popular day!

The evening concert (Hoosiers) will prob be attended by quite a few but alot will be drinking heavily after the long drives.


H

[elaviel]

1 week 2 days!!!!!:music:

[laurence]

Yeah it's near and it's also very far from me...so many exams with this huge horrible stress but It's almost finished *try to convinced herself*... I'm eager either to enjoy their show there!!

[laurence]

:rofl: Haaa it's nearer and nearer!! I'm so impatient!! I can't wait!!!

[elaviel]

I know, i'm so excited!

[Delmea0203]

:rofl: Haaa it's nearer and nearer!! I'm so impatient!! I can't wait!!!

It's tomorrow...

Hope you'll have lots of fun!!

[Samia]

[Ali]

Let us know how it went :music:

[laurence]

Yeah of sure!! ;-)

[elaviel]

so excited

[bexsta8]

You're probably there already but
Have fun!!!
:D

[Samia]

Yeah, have fuuun !! ^^

I hope it will be on TV ^^

[elicec]

Which channel ? France 2 or tf1 ?

[Samia]

I think it didn't was on TV..

So, How Was It ? :D

[laurence]

Not really so good as usual : The concert was during the race test (les essais) so the sound wasn't very good (soo loud especially the drums)...But I have to say I was already fed up by Fiction plane (their concert seems to be an eternity for me), the crowd, the noise...so I think I was not in a good day to appreciate the music at all! The Hoosier's part was shorter as their usual concert but it's obvious it was nice to hear themand we enjoy the show!! ;)

@Elaviel : Do you enjoy it? ;)

[laurence]

I'll watch it when my episode of The Big Bang Theory end :D

[Mod75]

It's my videos .There is a problem with , the videos are more longer and better , i'll try to put it again in the week end....

what happened?

[Delmea0203]

They didn't came to see 5 people who were waiting for them. They just passed in front of them, without anything else :(

I think laurence talked about it in the french thread

[taennchen]

Aww, that's mean... I can't imagine them acting like that.

[Samia]

They may were exhausted or, they remembered the last time they came in France which was ...

Like: "Can I Have a Kiss Irwin ?" "Oh Irwiiin I looove youuuu" "Aaaaaaaaah Irwiiin" :D

Ask Laurence, she was there, and she saw how the fans did with The Hoosiers :D

[taennchen]

Oh... Well, if somebody acts like that it may be a bit annoying for them. But anyways. They're their fans and they should treat them well and not ignore them...

That's so strange. In Germany they acted totally different.

[Delmea0203]

In France too, that was just this time.

Maybe they were a bit angry because of the show, laurence told me that the audience wasn't that good.

[Samia]

May be, it must be that ^^

(By the way, I love your avatar taennchen ^^)

[taennchen]

(By the way, I love your avatar taennchen ^^)

Yeah, there's no other good answer. Because normally, they're great guys!

haha, thank you!:D

[laurence]

@Mod75: Ok I wasn't sure it was you I hesitated...I've changed my post! ;-)

In fact, they hasn't a real excuse for their comportement...we were extremily calm...In fact we were discussing whereas they came out...just only five persons...I would understand if they hadn't time to speak a lot, but they should have explain it : just " we don't have the time, sorry bla bla"...From our point of view it wasn't very polite and a little bit dissapointed...

And for the audience I don't know I were in front so it's hard to fell the real atmosphere but it wasn't good for us in the crowd maybe not for them ( I think they have a a good reception especially if we compare it to the Fiction Plane's one)...They were excited but not in a good way like in the elysée Montmartre!! most of the guys behind me were totally drunk and had already during the Fiction plane part push themseves or other stupid things like throw glass of beer (full) actually I never received more beer in my life :pound: But in fact it was at the end really irritating even if sometimes I was the first to smile of it...

[Delmea0203]

When I said 'angry', I meant they were annoyed, or something like that.

Maybe didn't they do it intentionally?

Aww, i'm so sorry for you... :hug:
I'm sure they did it in good faith.

[Samia]

If I were you, I wouldn't be desappointed. It's OK if they dind't talk to you, you didn't come to the Mans to talk to them, but to see them performing ^^

(J'dis ça j'dis rien hein :D)

[laurence]

Their behaviour was disapointing but this didn't mean that I was disapointed...

It's obvious that I'm not sad or anything like that...I'm 24 years old and I didn't wait for something really special...and otherwise I spent a really nice day with Lucinda!!
But their behaviour just in a "human way" ( don't know if it's the good term) wasn't great this time. It's not the end of the world!!

[Mod75]

I drived 400 miles to see them so I think it's normal that i'm disapointed about their behaviour , right ?!

Maybe they can't realised that we came from Paris...

[Mod75]

Unfortunately , I think they did ...

New vid' of the intro : http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=9Aa-TURPX6I

[elaviel]

They were good though!

Did you see them watching fiction plane and holding that sign up?

My dad had a conversation about fiction plane and the racing with them without having a lue who they were!

Sad to be home now but hey bring on margate!

[laurence]

No I didn't see them watching Fiction Plane. Where were you in the crowd?
Your dad was with you at the concert?

Yeah of course the concert was good...But ( yeah there is a but lol) the sound was so loud ands weird sometimes (with the parisian concerts I was used to have a better sound so that explain my reaction)...it was better than for Fiction Plane (which the sound of the guitars was quite irritating).

And for the race I surprised myself to watch it at the TV... and be a little bit disappointed that Peugeot (a french motor) didn't win against Audi!!! :pound:
after the concert a plastered guy explain to us the test journey and his love for this event...and I just remember that Peugeot was the outsider of this test journey!!! He also said some stuff quite interesting especially that the main attraction concerns the industry by the financial repercussions for the consumer! :D ...

Yeah I have to admit, even if I really enjoyed to be there, have watched for the first time of my life a motor race, it was hard for me to support the noise of all of this... we arrived around 5 PM... and there were already some test

And tell me did you enjoy your french trip? Did you have the time to visit the town le Mans? What do you think about all this? You seemed to have a great moment!! I'm glad about that!!

[elaviel]

There were 10 of our camp down watching it but i left my dad at the back, the hoosiers were standing in the middle of the back and fiction plane even said about them being there lol!

oh well, just sad to be home.

Didn't make it into the centre of Le Mans really, popped over to St Saturin on Friday and La Chartre Du La Loir ( Sorry if i got that wrong!) on Thrusday!

I wanted peugeot to win too Audi have hads the title toooooooo long now! But i think Peugeot will learn from there mistakes and sucessed next year!!!

I was glad that the Astons won GT1 class though!

Oups I haven't even noticed it..We were probably more focused on some people in the crowd...it was weird :twitch: but funny too...I've never seen before glasses of beer flying in the air like that, I'm not against that (let the glasses their independance) but the problem it's when it come back down...:D It was almost a shower of beer for us especially for that poor girl next to me : she litterally received a glass of beer on her...Added to that we almost have the privilege to see a beautiful bum of a guy who probably forgot to attach his trousers...If we take the positive side of all of that it was really funny but it make me loose a little bit my concentration :pound:
