MM in Paris, part one.

Ok, I know MM aren't even in Paris yet, so why am I blogging about it already?

Do I have some kind of amazing time machine I used to skip ahead and tell you how the concert went?

Maybe.

(By the way, the surprise guest was Tsunku, and he even danced on stage with MM, and did some of his backing vocals live, and an old Sharan Q number, can't remember which one, but refused all requests for autographs.
Also, if Chibilolli EVER does that to Gaki again, I think she'll be getting a restraining order :P )

Seriously, I'm blogging now, because my journey to Paris is an epic quest ranging across half of England, and half of France, using 4 different forms of transport, all very (well, a bit) different, all for the chance of seeing Morning Musume live!

It all started the day the tickets were to be sold online, I had stayed up all night, to guarantee I could get one for myself, and shortly before buying it, I booked my flight with EasyJet (only £70 return from Liverpool), and had organised hotels, and then the tickets became available, and I leapt on them like, erm, like, well, like a wota after a Morning Musume ticket.

Only about an hour after I got my ticket, my father came online, so I spoke to him in MSN (He lives in France) and he said he'd been trying to get hold of me, because he was bidding on a van on eBay, and could I bring it down to him, and he'd pay all my costs.

Yeah, you guessed, I didn't realise until the next day, that my airline ticket wsn't refundable after 24hrs, so I was left with a flight that wasn't needed, and a wasted £80 inc insurance.

So, to cut a long story short (too late!!) I am now driving this van for him, still all expenses paid, and it now has my motorbike in the back, for me to go to Paris on, and my ferry out is a Fast Ferry, and it's a normal one back (or maybe the Channel Tunnel, I haven't bought my return ticket yet)

Anyway, here is the battle bus in all it's glory, on the carpark of the Cathedral of despair I am writing this from;



Yes, I am mad....yes that is a 16 year old Window Licker bus, converted into a motorhome....and yes, I am driving it all the way to Flers in France.

BUT IT'S ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE!

I'll update when I get to my Fathers house - sayonara!!

  1. If you parade along the Champs Elysées with that, you'll make history! :-)

  2. Cheers! Sadly, it's staying at my dads (tho not so sadly, as it cost me £60 in fuel for the UK alone, my bike will be a fair bit cheaper to run!)

  4. Have safe flights! I got here safe & sound, but have the long bike journey ahead yet. I'm going to update my blog tomorrow, as I'm way to exhausted to do it now!!
    I know of you, and look forward to meeting you. I'll be wearing either my bright green H!O AX T-shirt, or my bright yellow Tanpopo# T-shirt (bet there won't be another one of those there!!)

    Man, why didn't I read this before the trip? Then I would've thought twice about humping her leg whilst wearing my Stitch outfit. Dang!!! (>_<)
