Can I suggest we meet at the Novotel Lille Centre Gares (49 rue de Tournai) before the concert unless anyone has a better suggesting. I don't know Lille at all so it's difficult to decide. I rang the hotel and asked about the bar area and it's quite a big one.
Not too long now!!!!!!
I think this was the plan for the previous meetup - obviously everything got put on hold! I don't know Lille at all, so unless anyone knows somewhere better, we could keep it there? (I think a lot of people were staying there before, not so sure now...)

This sounds ok unless anyone knows anywhere better.
We are staying nearby I think.

Yeah, a meetup sounds like a great idea. I was looking on google earth
the other day that there is a little cafe within sight of the venue that might be handy too?!
I'd have to look it up again though.
So far, on the Lille meet up list, venue TBC! are

Google earth?!
Would never have thought of that, but that's a great way of scoping out the area
I suppose it depends on how little the cafe is (or how many want to meet up).

Hi friends,
please count us (me and my husband) in for the meet-up in Lille. Thanks!
We are looking forward to see you all, old and new friends. I have missed some people in Gent, I hope we can meet now.... (pe ??? )
From what I have heard in Gent I think we can expect great attendance in Lille.
Jarmila & Peter

I found a handy guide to Lille from The Guardian:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2004/f ... apesection
I have seen the enticingly named 'La Palais de la biere' mentioned in several other guides to Lille as well. But perhaps people might prefer a cafe or something?

Please count me in on the Lille meet-up!
Am arriving about 2-ish on Eurostar, staying in Hotel de la Paix - wherever that might be.... - and have to collect ticket before concert. Somewhere not far from the venue sounds good, either before or after the concert - in fact, preferably both!

Hi Burningviolin
If there is a phone number for the little cafe I am quite happy to give them a call and see if they don't mind us meeting up there and of course it will depend on how many of us will be there. I will be with a friend. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Zodka this is the name and address of the cafe I spotted on google maps.
Sci La Paix Duez
24 Rue Paul Duez, 59800 Lille, France - 03 20 88 16 15
The other suggestion was the Novotel, that is close to the venue too.
There was one other place I saw, it was a little bit further away about 600m walk, also it says open until 2am.
Le Versailles
43 Boulevard Louis Xiv, 59800 Lille, France - 03 20 52 59 60
http://www.le-versailles.fr/
Hope this helps, glad someone has got the ball rolling!

Hi Burningviolin and everyone going to Lille
It might be a good idea to know roughly how many of us will be meeting before I give them a ring. Does anyone know numbers?? I will wait a day or two before contacting both places you suggested and also the Novotel again as it was such a long time ago when I spoke to them about it.

Hi all-that-are-going-to-Lille,
HugoD and I (Marjan) will be driving down from the Netherlands. Please add our names to the list for the pre-concert meet-up. With Hugo driving I'm sure we'll make it to the venue well before the time I finally arrived at the Ghent meet-up (i.e., after the majority had already left...)
