Title: PCE 30th anniversary party in Paris - 2017. 10. 28
Post by: shubibiman on 10/31/2017, 07:51 AM
The French PCE community had a party in Paris last Saturday to commemorate the PCE's 30th anniversary.

The party was held in a museum in Paris, next to the Montmartre area and the only drink we had was champagne of course.

Here are some pics of this event:

Cool looking museum.  I especially like the Nipper oil.

Y'all are heroes (if masochists) for playing multiplayer on an LT like that.  Was it Bomberman '93?

P.S. - Twin LTs!  :mrgreen:

They were playing Final Match Tennis. And yes, Joseph was there too.

lol, everyone crowded around that little screen reminds me of playing 4 player splitscreen games on a 13" TV as a kid.

Fun, but never again.

Wow this does look like it was a fun time.  I have no idea what that octopus hose thing in picture 4 (with all the what look like champagne bottles on the floor) is though, can someone explain it to me?  Sorry for being a plebe.

The party took place at the Phonograph museum.

These actually are earphones from the beginning of the 20th century, they're plugged into a phonograph. Some people would buy a phonograph and go from fair to fair. It was used as a kind of amusement machine: people had to pay to listen to the music burnt into the roll. Several persons could listen to the music at the same time, that's why there are several earphones.

The guy you see playing the piano is the best french caravan mode player. He played some PCE tunes on the piano (Final Soldier, Jackie Chan, Aldynes, etc.). How classy is that?

Thanks for the clarification!  I never would have guessed what that was at first glance, makes sense in a phonograph museum though :)

I'm not sure you could get any more classy/badass than playing on an LT in a phonograph museum in Paris

No, the guy playing the piano is Laucops. He's the best caravan player outside of Japan I think.
