they should let you go on your own to Paris, for a gig of a band you've already seen, 3 days before the exams, and that you'll probably meet some people you only know thanks to the Internet ? I need arguments and I can't think about anything 
I so want to go ! |

The exams are the most important thing so make sure and show them how you'll be able to go to the gig AND be ready for your exams.
...as for meeting folk you only know off the internet, from experience parents are difficult to talk round when it comes to that. Especially if your parents don't use the internet all that much themselves and get most of their opinions from the scare stories of weirdos from online in the media. Is there nobody else from home that could go with you? |

So finally, the best way is to prove them that my revisions are done for all the subjects ...
And of course harrassing them :)
No one wants to come with me cause
1. They don't like rock in general
2. They don't know Travis
3. They want to revise their exams
And for meeting some strangers, well I've already done that and it went well. It's just a shame I "forgot" to tell my parents ...
Thanks, will do my best to make it ! |

How about - I will promise to pass if I go and i promise to fail if I dont ....or Heads or tails? I will mow the lawn for the next 2 years or just slip out the window anyway and leave a pillow in your bed ( I did that once - they get over it!) :) |

Tell them you're meeting people you met at a gig. Don't mention you previously met them online. Unless it's the first time you're meeting them, you'll need to tell someone just in case they're crazed axe wielding psychos.
I'm seeing Travis on Sunday, 2 days before an exam and then again on Tuesday 2 days before another exam! Just try to be ready, and look knowledgable at your parents. |

First try : "yeah but ... no" lol
It wasn't a definitive "no" though. I'm gonna let them think about it and try again tomorrow.
And Abs, we've already met last September at la Fête de l'Humanité :oP |
