pphaneuf: (Oatmeal)

Monday morning, I went to the Préfecture with [livejournal.com profile] azrhey (thank goodness!).

Lots of waiting, but that I expected. I didn't expect the person to be so stuck to the letter of the word as to not get the part where my visa says that "I don't have to have a work permit" doesn't meant that I can't have a work permit! [livejournal.com profile] azrhey ended up composing a letter to the Préfet saying that his esteemed colleagues at the Consulat de France à Montréal were a bunch of morons or something to that effect, and please let me have a work permit. Which I then had to transcribe nicely.

I managed to screw up signing my own name, too, so really, I'm quite thankful to [livejournal.com profile] azrhey for leaving as little as possible to me to do (screw up?).

What an adventure...

I put those plans on the backburner for a bit, as I soon after got some notification that a number of people would be passing by Toulouse in February, so it kind of make it tricky. We're having a release at the end of March here, so that was kind of out, but I was about to think about that again.

I'd have to look (or, uh, have [livejournal.com profile] azrhey look) at the pricing of plane tickets, but I'd guess that maybe the end of April would be decent? What's your take on this?

I was meaning to see the Ungdomshuset, being a bit of a closet anarchist, but seems like I missed the boat on that one... Oh well, there's still Christiania, I suppose, but I hear that's going downhill as well?

Christiania doesn't seem to be going anywhere in the near future. But it does seem to have lost a lot of its atmosphere after Pusher Street was closed down. There used to be a lot of small "houses" that were all torn down, erm, a year or two ago.

As for the end of April I have some good news: I've still got 5 days of vacation that I have to spend before May 1st but no money to travel anywhere so I'd be delighted to take some time off to show you and [livejournal.com profile] azhrey around.
