Let me take you on a trip around the world and back ...
We got back in the hotel entrance hall where we invaded the couches and sofas waiting to be thrown out of the hotel  , where we spent the whole night talking  even in a tired state until 6h00 am ; we didn't get thrown out  from the hotel they let us there... we took at that hour taxis to get to the railway station of  Basildon ( where still stayed some  tags of the presence of crazy french dm fans for the DM convention 2000  for their 20 years of existence  ).

back row : Pimpf, Luc, Claire, Tibo , Franck

Direction London,Fenchurch Street  station plus the subway  heading to Victoria Station and all this in about 45 minutes  ( faster than to go to Basildon by bus …) and finally the trip back to France by bus , getting separated from  Céline sniff L as whe was heading directly to  Lille , and  Franck, Tibo, Luc ,Lorédana , Rose , Antonella, Claire , Perrine and myself in the same bus back to Paris… the trip back was quite calm and quite comatose !!( mostly for me !  48 h without sleeping that's quite a lot ;) ) and the travel in Ferry was quite enjoyable even though it was fresh , the weather was sunny  …

 

Getting back to Paris around 17h30 where everyone went to his own way , the heads full of  souvenirs and heart still beating for all those moments lived in  Basildon J , it's hard to imagine it wasn't that far ago ! …

 

It was a wonderfull trip , really nice  and which was worth it . The fact of making it in Basildon this year to celebrate the 20 years of the band gathered more people than usual , as it seems those last years, the convention had been lost a bit of its "flame"

 

Basildon it's a strange town …
