Hello
for those who want to meet with other cohenites in Lucca, I just had a look in internet and found a bar which looks suitable to meet (but I do not know it personally). If there are some interests I can ring them up also. We could meet there on sunday before the concert at 19.00 (7pm) .
Who would be interested in meeting there? Just let a note here in the forum. We can of course decide then if we meet afterwards again in some place.
Here it is:
http://www.ilbarino.it
c/o Caffé del Mercato Piazza San Michele, 17 55100 Lucca

of course if someone knows another place, we can change

Please let me know
bye
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Place looks nice but i have some doubts about time. Isn't 19:00 to late?
On the official Lucca Summer Festival www site there is an information:
[i]
Apertura casse cambio voucher ore 11.00
-postazioni in C.so Garibaldi
apertura casse Di and GI ore 16.00
-postazioni in C.so Garibaldi
cassa vendita biglietti
-postazione P.zza San Michele

Apertura cancelli ore 19.30
inzio spettacoli ore 21.30 [/i]

I don't speak Italian (almost) but there is something about hours. Could you be so nice and translate?
Anyway, we (3 people from Poland) will be at the meeting for sure.
See you there,

Sebastian

Hi Andrea, two people from Slovakia will be there

FROM TOM I KNOW HE WON'T BE IN LUCCA BEFORE 6. PM-7 PM
CIAO A PRESTO

I hope the place is big enough to admit all Forum members in attendance…
I’ll probably cover the longest distance to come to Lucca, all the way from Kyoto on the other side of the world, so I’m getting on my way already on Thursday. See you there, Andrea, and everyone else. Great excitement.

Doron

There will be also one from deep south Italy. Just a question, there will be anyone around my age (i'm 22 yo) ? You know, I'm concerned about being the youngest and my english is that little I learned at the school or watching Letterman on Tv. Anyway, I hope to be there, I'll arrive in Lucca in the afternoon.

We're starting early in the morning with the car, so I don't know when we will arrive, but we'll try to find the place in time.

Also, we have extra ticket here, if you know somebody wanting to buy it, just tell me

hello andrea. i have just arrived in lucca from australia to attend the concert. i have checked out your suggestion for a pre-concert get together. unfortunately they are closed on sundays and apart from that it was very small. they suggested STELLA POLARE which is on the southern side of piazza napoleone--where the concert is. maybe 6.00pm? all the best, john (harros)
