Drinking with strangers

OK. Winter is cold and vaguely boring. So let’s break the monotony of things.

I am very glad to invite you to the very first Stuff Parisians Like get-together. It will be held chez O Chateau, in our Caves. As I’m a good Parisian, I’m going short notice on you.

Let’s do this next Tuesday (the 19th).  Let’s say 7.30pm. Bring a bottle of wine. Friends welcome. The more the merrier.

Please let me know if you (+ x) are coming by responding here. Should be a good time.

Address is 52, rue de l’Arbre sec in the 1st. Metro Louvre-Rivoli (Line 1).

A mardi!

Olivier

PS – And for the record, drinking with strangers is not something Parisians usually like.

    Thank YOU!
    We had a great time last night, trop court biensur!
    More get-together, more posts and more wine, toujours!

    Merde, I missed this! Will there be another one?

    Les Parisiens se sentaient bien seuls? Moi non.

  5. Leesa says:

    Sorry I missed it… but I heard it was G-R-E-A-T!!!
    I was too tired after work to get my putain ass up to Paris… Can I say that???
    Anyhow, again, I am sorry we didn’t come but here’s to the next one or any others to follow…

    Would love to make it, but stuck in San Francisco.
    Whoops…it was last night anyway.

    Nadia… It was nice to meet you and Henry. All your mores sound like more work for me!
    Henry… Un mot du grand Frédéric Dard: “Dans la vie, on est toujours seul, l’important c’est de savoir avec qui.” :-)
    Darlene… oui oui!
    Myrrha… Comme quoi, les miracles du péripherique…
    Leesa… Did you really just go capital letters and hyphens on me? Wow, well, I’m glad people seem to have enjoyed their evening. And for the record, no you cannot say that. (cause A. You’re a woman and that would not be a pretty thing for a woman to say and B. It’d be “putain de”, but not in that sentence anyway). Next time then, yeah! Cheers!
    Paul… Maybe one day we’ll do a SPL get-together in San Francisco… there seems to be a few readers in the Bay Area!

    Oh No! Olivier, I am not English! I’m Welsh!! How insulting! ;)
    Actually I am a slightly confused Welsh person (Cymreag in my native tongue) as I am married to an American who lived in Paris for 7 years and has the weirdest accent you ever heard. That may explain my grammar a little… I will look forward to future gatherings then,
    please raise a glass for me,
    Iechyd Dda!

    Oh no! I just saw this and am so disappointed to have missed out. Since you weren’t posting very often, I had taken to checking the site only once a week. I guess I learned my lesson- visit the site daily.

  10. Olivier Magny says:

    JennyClaire… Oopsies. Rejoice: you have a better rugby team than England!
    Nicole… Sorry! Daily doesn’t sound reasonable really! :-)

  11. Darrell says:

    Triste que nous l’avons ratee… :( A la prochaine… Il y aura un autre occasion?

  12. Miranda says:

    Next time, Master O!
    And I’ll bring some strangers too; any particular characteristic desired?

  13. Olivier Magny says:

    Darrell… Il y en aura d’autres! Pas de pb!
    Miranda… Intelligent, joyful and amazingly good looking please!

  14. badaude says:

    Missed this one. How’d it go? Did all ’63 responses so far’ turn up?

  15. Olivier Magny says:

    Badaude… Based on the 70 bottles empty bottles of wine I counted the next day, I’d say it was probably around 50ish people. My readers are people of quality!

  16. Athena says:

    what a great idea, organising a get-together! This was almost a year ago I guess…? BTW I can’t see the dates of people’s comments… am writing this on Dec 26th 2010.
    Any more meetings coming up in 2011? I live in Luxembourg but love to come to Paris whenever I can so would love to join one of your meetings if I’m in Paris on that day.
