Please remember the maps show where signed CDs were set, NOT necessarily where people might attend a live performance in greatest numbers! (See, for example. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_bias .)

It might also be the case that the locations of people looking at alizee-officiel.com is also biased, but my guess is that it is much less so than the autographed CD survey. That's why I direct your attention to my post <a href="http://alizeeamerica.com/forums/showpost.php?p=154177&postcount=16"><i>What is the estimated traffic to Alizée's official Web site? (episode 2)</i></a>

Among the cities (N.B. NOT metro areas) of the world over the sampling period, only Mexico CIty requested over a thousand cookies from the Web site. And the leading city in the US, Phoenix, only asked for 53.

Looking at US states, you'll be happy to hear California, with by far the biggest total population, led with 299 cookies. But perhaps Arizona asked for the most cookies, 72, on a per capita basis - I'm too lazy to do the arithmetic.

Among Direct Marketing Areas (in the US), New York and Los Angeles beat the tar out of all the others with, respectively, 164 and 156 cookies. But Phoenix still managed a respectable 66, accounting for nearly all of Arizona.

The bottom line is that nowhere in the US do we see a respectable cluster of potential show attendees. But Mexico City alone accounts for about 40% of the substantial total Mexican contingent. If the Corsican girl can't fill the Grand Rex, perhaps she can still put on a successful show in Mexico City.

But if you are stubborn and want a US show strategy, I offer up a multistage plan that would take at least a year and probably still doesn't have the AAm critical mass to start the ball rolling anyway.

(Oh, and yes, I know that Grand Central is NOT in reference to the train station in NY. )

Crap I wish I knew about this forum back when I could have signed up to get an autographed CD. I can't believe I missed my chance. Just the idea of holding a CD that has been touched by Lilly drives me crazy. Ahhhhhhhh!!

How about rubbing the spot where Andy's car stood in GCT instead?
