In Paris, 4:00am, not much time to talk.
Took a bicyle ride from the airport (CDG) after an incredibly boring fly over the Atlantic. The airline charged me half the price of my ticket for just taking the bicycle. I am not going back the same way.
Home is beautiful. Imagine being in the middle of the 4th arrondissement and having a place to stay there for three months. There's a big blue door that faces the small, medieval rode that must be open. It leads to a courtyard where people are growing potted plants and the various apartments reach differing heights above you. The door to this apartment is opened with a giant, brass key and only after you move the three+ meter door shutters out of the way.
This night, the first full day in town, I visited a "rock and roll" club and saw Germaine aka Germainbow of Old Time Relijiun, Josh Taylor's Friends Forever and Rainbow Sugar also known as my former neighbor, play in a band called the Castanets. They were great and the show, amazingly, was free! El Gran Chufle also played and they were amazing surf-rock-dub... stuff. It was really good. Kind of like a loungier Destroy All Astromen!

Met a Texan with a giant beard who invited me to a
country western sing-along in a crêpe shop. Was promised cheap-to-free
booze - they have a special that if you wear a cowboy hat, or cowboy
boots, *or* if you're from Texas or Australia, you get a free drink - I
am nor have, any of these. Why Australia? I think Nick Cave sometimes
pours the drinks.
Things are a bit random... Had dinner with a polish beautiful girl, who plays bike polo on Sundays.
The start of something wonderful.
