    Bad, cheer up your going to Amsterdam. So you miss the big event in Paris but your still going to Amsterdam.

    the main race will start at/near republique on saturday
    and the bike polo tournament (plus trackstands, skids, sprints and stuff) on sunday, location to be confirmed (either Champs de Mars, near the eiffel tower, or the museum Palais de Tokyo)...

    it's my fault really, lack of commitment as my teacher used to say. kinda got dragged into drugs and partying and that was really it for me. fuck knows where i spent saturday but i know paris quite well and it felt more like i was in berlin. kept thinking i'd find you using the internet without considering i couldn't use it while i was out and about. boo. nevermind, velibs are way harder to use than i remembered anyway and if you'd have lent me a bike i would have given you back a taco...
