I thought too late that I could've offered once again to get 50 cds from her for her American fans (even though our forum members are from all over). This would have been going on at the same time the radio ads were running in Boston, which I think would've made for a good story if we could have gotten a French media outlet interested which I think would have been easy to do.

Problem was, I was so busy trying to do other things in conjunction with the ads such as writing stories to local media, to get them interested. Making up 50 dvds to give away at the open house at the French cultural center in Boston, that I never really gave it serious thought. There was so much stuff that I was behind in, in my personal life, that I didn't realize what a great opportunity this was until it was too late.

Well, I also think that many of the people who got CDs before were new to Alizée. That and the fact that it was only a few months ago and was the first for a new album means that you might not have been able to even get as many people interested in getting another signing on the same CD. When one does multiple autograph signings like this, one assumes that the vast majority of people coming to it are people who were not at the last one.

Sure, I went to Mexico 3 months after going to France to just get an autograph from Alizée because I was so in love with the idea of meeting her and being near her. I wished to be able to go see her every 3 months or so. But, generally people are not so eager even for big stars who are giving concert performances. Point is, the one thing turned out well and that's great, but you would probably have to wait for another more unique opportunity anyway to have it be so special. I think it was natural that you would not again fly to France for the second event.
