She said Sony would send me the info to the contact info that was on the letter I gave them. I went back to my room and no e mail. So I decided to give Ray a whirlwind tour of Paris. We got back around 5:30......................................still no e mail. I went back to fnac.

The gentleman I saw in the afternoon was still there and I told him I hadn't heard from Sony. His understanding of English wasn't that great. He started getting the 80 cds out of a storage room along with a couple of canvas shopping bags. I told him I didn't want to take them now if I'm just going to bring them back tomorrow. So he made a phonecall and a few minutes later, a woman I had spoken to that afternoon came down. I told her I hadn't heard from Sony;

She asked me to wait a few minutes and she disappeared. Several minutes later she came back and said Sony had arranged for another "private" autograph session to take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 pm.

Anyways, it'sa an a street only Parisian would know so it was really great atmosphere, only local people. We started to talk with the the staff and a goof friend of them and voilà not too much later they found out that we were Alizée fans. Well, unlike most of the France, thye were actually very welcoming/happy about that. Finally they played Moi Lolita in the bar and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in the bar joined for the song. The staff announced that it was for us and that we came far away for it. THere was crazy (drunken) French peopel dancing for the song. It wa special.... Was really nice talk with them and at the end of the night they offered free whisky shots for all of us (also for themselves).

I know I can show real Parisian places and real unique places, but this was a lucky one. We had a shit loads of fun over there

Even though iw was not something I expected, the way Ronney wrote it, it sounded great!

EDIT: I posted too late, again this is such a lovely thread!

Off topic, but if your time is limited, and you've been awake since the previous morning, Scruffy makes a great Paris tourguide. And he won't let little kids block the metro staircases either. Thanks for the tour today Scruffy!

As far as the bar; something I've heard before and something Ronny said is the best bars in big cities like Paris and London are; the ones in out of the way places. They are not tourist traps and you get more of a local flavor.

So me, RMJ and Amigo (AF) went to one Ronny found and sat down near one end of the bar. By the way just about all the music this bar played was in English. The bartender had lived in the States for a while years ago: Well this guy came in who was quite a character and he stood next to us, singing along with all the songs and making all kinds of funny comments and he started talking to us and asking where we were from and then he asked if we were there on vacation. Well I told him exactly why I was there which was to see my favorite singer Alizee at the signing for her new album. Well he got a big kick out of that. He told the bartender and he was able to pull up Moi Lolita on his entertainment system. Mean while the first guy announced to all the bar that they wer playing it for these American visitors. So some people got up and started dancing, others singing: It was a great time.

I filmed some of, but it was dim and Im not sure how it came out. If it's any good, I'll post it when I get back.

The bartender had a lot of sports banners for the Pittsburgh Penguin hockey team. I asked him about them and he had said he lived in Pittsburgh for several years and was a huge fan of them. Well I just happened to have a cap inside my jacket pocket that I carry for when it gets windy and it was a Boston Bruins cap. These two teams were huge rivals years ago. You should have seen the look on his face when I pulled it out. We all had a huge laugh over it. He gave us free shots later. It was a very good time!
