My ticket is also yellow. Ordered it from the English site Z posted on the first page of this thread. It's filed away at home now with some air tickets and hotel bookings.

"En concert pour la première fois en France ! Groupe mythique et très influent des années 80, The Sisters Of Mercy a toujours été caractérisé par le travail sur le son et la mélodie de leurs chansons. Leurs concerts sont souvent décrits comme des "expériences", fortement marquées par la personnalité d'Andrew Eldritch, frontman charismatique. A ne pas manquer !"

For the very first in concert in France ! Cult and influential band from the 80's, The Sisters Of Mercy is characterized by the work on the sound and their great sense of melodies.

They are a few nice pubs, but they are a 20 minutes walk from the venue ...

Nah.
There's an exhibition centre next to the venue, that kind of stuff. It's definitely got a family vibe, but it's in no way designed for partying. Neighbourghood is a tad slummy.
And thx for translation.

No, not that lazy, but when you book a hotel-room right opposite the venue, you hope to be able to concentrate your drinking activities near there too :lol:

Guess we'll just have to buy bottles of our favourite drinks then, put them in paper bags and hang around a metro entrance :von:

Since you can not buy any proper beer in the whole of France anyway adding some decent green bottles to your hand luggage seems to be required.

Pastis?

That's just faking the real thing (actually even the word is derived from Pastiche for fake). Absinthe it is! ;D

Be careful : only in the suburbs can you burn things.
Don't ever do it when there's valuable things & happy tax payers around.

On the other hand, you might be more than willing to burn valuable things, but then it's a whole different story. :twisted:

BTW, eons ago there was a heavy metal bar called The Ministry in Pigalle. Right around the corner, there also was a nice bar called Lili la tigresse, supposedly Russ Meyer's fav place in Paris. Such voluptuous dancers... :eek:

Both were great places to hang out. Any chance they might still exist ? :P

Pastis it is.
As for absinthe it actually smelled like cat p*ss and poets used to drink it only because they couldn't afford wine. :lol:

Well, nowadays it is very drinkable, really ;D

Not poisonous anymore either, they used to put in copper sulphate or something to make it green because there was very high demand. However, as stated in another thread, it has a slight hint of Dreft to it :lol:

Sure. Good thing it's only loosely related to that 19th century romantic crap. I may be confused, but I think in France they call it Absente (missing) : sounds like absinthe, looks like absinthe, but won't get you blind.

By the by, if this forum detects and corrects bad words, does that mean that I can swear IN FRENCH ! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
