Maybe it's the same I found Is that by the lake also? Did U find that on MySwitzerland?

Anyway, we can wander all night long after the show... and let's hope the first show lasts at least three hours.

Is that the Hostellerie Du Lac?

So Friday meet sorted

We ought to arrange one for saturday afternoon, iether 1.00 or later i.e. a place we can meet have a picnic and drinks prior to the evening

Any ideas?

I'd say a bit L8R, then we can go straight 2 show.
MayB easier 2 fix exact time/meeting place after Fri, cuz we'll know the place a bit better by then.
(don't worry I/we can post details on here once finalised 4 those orgers arriving Sat)
I think we could try by the lake?

Since I'm gonna spend the night after the show as a homeless guy (my train is at 8.39 on sunday morning), I'd like to know if I could use some company

Thanks.

Its just around the corner.....

Hi everybody,

Prince live in Montreux !!! How exciting, what ?

I will arrive with the train coming from Austria around 7 pm, will check in my hotel and then have a look to the bar for the org meet-up. I wonder if there is anybody of U left after the happy hour is over ? So maybe I'll do it the other way: first bar and then hotel ?? We'll see....

Anyway, see U in Montreux soon

Hello again everybody,

We figured since we started this thread we might as well (try 2) finalize it.

What has been said before by others sounds good enough, so we're just going 2 clear a few things out :

We will all meet each ohter at the BAR located opposite the Miles Davis Hall at 6 PM on Friday. Let's just say that either you're wearing a PRINCE t-shirt (The Time, Sheila E. or Wendy & Lisa will do too) or else you'll roll up ONE of your sleeves...

After that (probably around 8 PM) the 2 of us will be having dinner in the area, and since we arrive in Montreux around noon we'll have some time to make a reservation somewhere (hopefully). If anybody cares 2 join us 4 dinner as well WRITE YOUR REAL NAMES IN THIS THREAD ON THURSDAY(+ how many people will be joining U) and we can try 2 make a group reservation somewhere. We will try 2 find something nice that's not too pricey, but we won't be looking at McDonald's either, if u know what we mean...

We can decide about lunch or whatever on Saturday during our drinks and/or dinner on Friday, but we think it would be cool 2 do that and from there on we can all go Q-ing 2gether.

4 those who can't join us on Friday, we'll be posting the details of the Saturday meet-up Friday night (probably very late) or Saturday morning (I'm guessing between 9 and 10 AM) right here !

(Also taking facebook friendship requests from now on ; look up Bart Hermans)

The exodus has begun...

C y'all soon !!!
Bart & Rick

Hey There!

There are quite a few 'Bart Hermans' on Facebook??


I'm coming early Saturday morning so I can meet you lot Saturday afternoon??

I will be wearing purple...

A-haa I think I found you!!

C u at the bar at 6

May eat before 6 so don't bother with us for Friday, maybe Saturday


C U there

near the swis border now, In pont les moulins.
Arriving in Montreux tomorrow.

Same to me, my train leaves at 7.15 in the morning....so we should arrange a meet-up for the 2nd show-end, right ?

Anybody knows, where to go in Montreux in the middle of the night or early morning ?

Will join for dinner Friday evening at 20.00.

We are Brian S. and Henrik M.

I probably won't be able to read this thread until very close to 19.30, but we will show up (if we know where)
