Ok, so I've got this bunch of shows I want to go to, but going all by myself is kind of sad (although I've done that a few times in Toulouse, and it was the source of just about an equal number of crazy adventures!)... Anyone care to join me (or is already going) to any of those? The links are to the Last.fm event page, with samples of the music ( Read more... )

Damn! I wanted to see Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, coming to the Metropolis in October, but it's sold out! Oh well, I'll be trying to go to more small shows, I think. It's been too long I have been to La Sala Rossa, for example, and places like Zoobizarre merit being visited again. Oh, and going to see Miss Kittin & The Hacker on the 27th at SAT! ( Read more... )

So I went for a weekend in San Francisco... I was planning on that already, so I had packed a light raincoat and a few long-sleeved shirts, so I wouldn't look like a tourist, but as it turned out, I forgot them in Mountain View and looked like a tourist anyway! After obtaining a lender bike for the weekend (thanks Noé!) and deciding to leave my ( Read more... )

Uh, there was a traffic jam on my small street today when I left for work?!? Complete with no less than two city buses, trying to work around the cranes and other construction equipment currently cluttering the street... Weird ( Read more... )

Ok, so after going to Festival Kinetik last week (where I nearly snapped my neck ogling!), I booked up this weekend pretty solid: going to Mutek Nocturne 3 and 4 (Friday and Saturday), the Beer Fest on Saturday, the Tour de l'île on Sunday and She Wants Revenge on Monday. It will be both intense and awesome, I think ( Read more... )

Saturday, while shopping around for a better piece of furniture to hold our nice new television, azrhey and I drove in front of the Club Soda, I saw that there was Autechre on the headline there... For the next day! A bit later that evening, tygrbabe poked me about it too, but I was still unsure.

Finally decided to go, accompanied by azrhey and joining with crybetty, m3lang3 and tygrbabe ( ( Read more... )

A little while ago (okay, okay, that was in November!), I went to see Me, Mom & Morgentaler at the Club Soda with gregorama and tygrbabe. Oh my goodness, the energy! They did pretty well, for a bunch of fat people in their fourties ( Read more... )

I just can't wait to get to the new place, for a number of reasons (and no, the hawtness of both our male and female future neighbours isn't the main reason, but it sure helps!).

I want my own base of operations, and I want to be able to launch all-weather, night and day adventures. Being stuck in 9-to-5 in France wasn't cool, but the fact that I ( Read more... )

I've been lagging behind in a lot of things (sorry if you've sent me mail and are still waiting for a reply!), but I think it's been good for me.

The day after we arrived, I managed to catch serendipity_wpg's last show on the Fringe, where I met wlach, cpirate and scjody, without anything being scheduled. After a choriço poutine at Mondo Fritz, I even crossed pzion on the way ( Read more... )
