Thanks
Since I write too long and I don't want this section of my comment ignored, I'm putting it first:
I must thank lowbeam and his Aldo (not to be confused with Greg's Aldo) for the new special issue CD's they gave several of us; Greg for really cool Alizée luggage tags and a great story about meeting Alizée's friend Soko and his Aldo for taking over helping us with Spanish when Miguel, who did a great job of that, was gone; and especially AC Mix who lent his Banamex card that got several of us as close as we got to Alizée. We've had a number of difficulties, still not all resolved, with getting tickets for each show, but I got in and got to both see Alizée up close and touch her. That made for the "ultimate concert experience" as Snatcher42 might call it, or at least close enough.

Oh yes, the vendors! In Mexico City it was really a great thing to see, well except for the pirated copies of Alizée's music. I'd much rather see everyone actually buying a legitimate copy of her music than anything else as would she I'm sure. She did the work. She should get paid. Anyway, I tried to get down to the vendors right after the concert the second night and was literally squeezing in between people just all jammed together trying to get a look at the stuff. I had to give up after a short time because it was so hard to even move. Man I wish I still had access to all the Alizée mania that existed down there. In fact, one can not even get access to that kind of merchandise here in the States maybe even regardless of money.

Guadalajara really was great as far as being close to Alizée and actually her singing. I really hope they were recording that too. It wasn't very different, but enough for me to notice and say that her performance was exceptional.

You just need a computer and iTunes to download the podcast. There is another program which can download supposedly, mentioned here somewhere, but it didn't work for me.

Oh, and as RCS keeps bringing up, that was the cutest wow ever. So, you got to hear it kind of a couple times in that Sound of Silence clip. Maybe it'll be even better on the DVD, but thinking of it just puts a smile on my face. That's what I just want to hold in mind forever is the cuter than a button Alizée. Even now as an adult, there's an example of her adorable cuteness still in force. We really had a great time hearing that the first few times especially.

Oh yeah, where's my photo with the "arliquines" (clowns to the rest of you)?

Wow, Ben, I wish I had done a coverage of the trip like you did. Those detailed walk-through descriptions really mak it great for those who weren't there and nice to remember stuff for the rest of us too. Well, I saw 5 shows. You'd think I'd remember better, but I guess I mostly just really enjoyed the whole thing every time.

ha ha, Elaine's (sp) dance. Well, Alizée did at times do a bit of jerky movement. Kinda funny, but yes, not really like Elaine.

By the way, does anyone actually have any clue how to call in? I'll have to do a little search for that.
