Plus I had the problem where it would start zooming in on it's own.

I can't see the vids, but I'm sure they can't be terrible enough to worry about! Are they on your youtube channel? I might be able to see it on youtube, earlier I actually caught a good enough signal to watch Les Collines mv for the third time ever!

Yes all the videos are on his youtube channel and I hope that you'll be able to see it. Best of luck with that.

It's bit funny at times!:

Edit:

The video is good. One thing that we can notice from video is that everyone was busy in their work, recording, arranging album booklets, she was busy in signing. I guess that's why Scruffy didn't get much chance to think much about the moment except when channel persons asked him. The quality is video is not as good as previous one. Scruffy, o you have better quality video in the original one? It's still Ok and we have a long video. What can be better than that. You have done a good work and I appreciate it, Scruffy. Merci!

Well, the first video is not available on mobile, and the second video was screwing up way too much to try to watch, due to a lack of signal. Oh, well. If I get into Fredericksburg sometime soon, I will try to check it out!

So many things to do and nothing comes easy.

I'm trying to get videos uploaded, trying to get things organized for mailing out the cd's when the thought crossed my mind that I hadn't thanked the gentleman at Virgin Megastore for what he had done for us. So I'm not the best letter writer, but I sent him the following note.

Dear Mr Bertail;
I've been so busy with what has been going on in the past couple of weeks, that I almost forgot to thank you. That would have been unthinkable. I doubt if you have any idea how much having a cd autographed by Alizée means to us. Most of us found out about her within the past 3 years, thanks mostly to Youtube. I'm one of the oldest members of this forum and I have never heard a singer that has brought as much enjoyment into my life as Alizée. I found that with your typical singer, let's say Shania Twain, a beautiful woman, some of whose songs I love very much, when she releases a new song, radio stations will play it numerous times a day at first because people want to hear it several times a day. But there comes a time usually about 2 or 3 or maybe 4 months later, where you grow tired of hearing it so much and then you only listen to it once in a while. Well with Alizée's music, I've been listening to it day after day after day for the past 3 years. I don't understand myself why I don't grow tired of it.

I think a lot of it has to do with the French language. It is definitely the most beautiful language in the hands of the right person and Alizée is the right person. It has that certain quality, as the French call it, a je ne sais quoi about it, that I can't explain, can't understand, can't get enough of. She has 4 songs that she has both a French and an English version of and by far, I like the French versions better and I think it's a combination of the French language and this je ne sais quoi of the language and of her.

So giving me this unbelievable opportunity to meet her on this basis and to give her fans in America and so many other countreis that Alizée America has fans in, an opportunity to have this closeness to her by getting an autographed cd, something most of us can only dream of because of the distance between us is something that words can hardly express the deep down gratitude for what you and your store did for us. It truely is an opportunity of a lifetime for so many of us.
Merci beaucoup.
Dave Hardy.

I'm trying to strike while the iron is still hot. For those of you who are familiar with the French tv station in San Francisco that I tried to get a hold of not to long ago before my trip, well I sent them an e-mail of details about my trip, just on the chance it might get aired.

Indeed a good and purposeful letter, Scruffy. You are able to express your gratitude towards the person. Also you have mentioned about the fans that she has all over the world. You have appreciated her work well in this letter and expressed why we all love her. Overall, it's a good one.

Yes we do remember about that and I'm sure that she'll get some attention there. The chances are much better now after your meeting. Good luck with it now.
