Off to Paris. Back Tuesday. See you soonish.

[NOTE TO SELF:] Write less. Post more cartoons.

[SUNDAY UPDATE:] In Montparnasse, Paris, typing from my favorite cybercafe, the one around the corner from my usual hotel. Paris hasn't changed much since I was here last November. Having dinner tonight with lots of bloggers etc.

[SUNDAY UPDATE- NOON:] It's weird reading Doc Searl's blog, realising you're about to go meet him in person for the first time in about 20 minutes... Brunch at Cafe Select on the Boulevard Montaparnasse, along with Mary Hodder, Halley Suitt and Caterina Fake.

[MONDAY UPDATE:] Still in Paris. About to go catch my plane. The conference was fun. Drew some cartoons while I was there, which Heiko posted (Thanks, Heiko!).

Great to see everybody... will blog about it later.

Special thanks to Loic Lemeur and his posse for making it happen.

(Some good Technorati links here)

There a was session there where journalists were asking a lot of questions. I came away thinking, "Dinosaurs don't like meteors". There is no point trying to sell a dinosaur a meteor. He/She ain't buying, so stop trying to sell him/her the meteor story etc.

Yes, I agree, more cartoons.

I have seen them all and I still desire to view more.

Hurry as I have developed and addiction to them and just ran out of methadone... oh WTF I'll go shoot some heroin until you get back.

Great Stuffs

You acknowledged my comment!

Even though some drugs are legalised and not scarce here in Holland, 'yours' (cartoons) are pretty hard to find.
More addictive than herion, btw ;)

Paris hardly ever changes.
Damn, every day I walk to school past an international trainstation. Every morning there's signs saying "Train to Brussels and Paris-nord leaves from platform 6" and I just wish I'd have the guts/time to buy a ticket and board it. Only a 3 hour trainjourney etc...

Posted by: veedubya at April 26, 2005 2:29 AM

veedubya: ordered not one, but two! Why - because I can afford two t-shirts, but not one (English Cut) suit ...
