MR Reader Meetup in Paris on Friday, July 18th
I am happy to announce our very first MobileRead reader meetup -- right in the heart of Paris. Thanks to Zelda who has been planning the meetup! Tebaldo is already coming, and so is MobileRead editor and Feedbooks mastermind Hadrien.
Here's the scoop: Friday, July 18th @ 7pm La Fontaine 33 Rue Juliette Dodu 75010 Paris (01 424 536 27) Google Maps Please tell us that you're thinking about coming, or our egos will be mercilessly permanently wounded, ok? And prepare for an insane amount of geekery! |

I tried to get driving directions from Google Maps, but it told me it couldn't calculate them. Hmmm?

I am thinking of coming, but sadly that is about as far as I will get.
Paris in July with my Sony 505! It is such a good dream. |

just so you know, the little arrow on the google map is not *quite* accurate (which is a crushing disappointment : google maps, fallible ???? what ????). the bar is actually on the corner of the rue Juliette Dodu and the rue de la Grange aux Belles (this corner is visible on the map. it's only 3 doors further). but if you can find the place marked by the arrow, i'm sure you can find the bar as well. (of course, i won't tell you that the only reason i want to organise this is purely self-interested... i just cannot wait any longer to see e-ink in person. and besides whatever different liseuses will accompany the MR members, tebaldo works on e-ink projects and has many prototypes to show off...) |

Have we already thought of a time that would/could work best for most who'll join?

I am thinking very strongly about making an appearance. Unfortunately, my Mapquest directions tells me to swim across the Atlantic, and I get such terrible swimmers ear... |

I can't believe it, I'll actually be in Paris that day (but with a tour group).
Maybe we can do a little side trip... |

I passed your hometown very closely last sunday, Alex. But I think I won't be able to make another trip next weekend.
