Sorry completely non design related topic...
I'm going to Paris in a few hours, just for the weekend.

I was in this cool Jazz Club, it was called Jazz Cellar or similar and is also very close to St. Michel, if you're looking for house or techno though I'm the wrong man to ask ;)
I've got a couple of friends over there though.....check your mail

was in paris last year - went to some huge architecture park north of paris soemwhere (only a short tube ride out of town).
some spectacular buildings there - see my photos.
sorry i cant remember what the place is called - i think it was some sort of expo thing.
have fun. paris is a beautiful city.
and the women are even more beautiful!!!its a god city to skate round in the wee small hours.
dont try and get into the louvre with a skateboard though - i about got arrested by armed police!

I'll concord with whomever said Favela Chic . It was a real good time. I remember seeing a Favela Chic mix cd in the record store one day too, hmmm. love the setup there, the "picnic" tables, the food, the music, etc.

You *got* to go and see some mad architecture:
Arab World Institute up by Notre Dame, by Jean Nouvel
La Grande Arch in a development called La Defense
Also, "concept shop" Collette

the photos that i took were over four or five days in paris.
i was there with a mate who had done a site for a skate expo called "on yer board" or something.
It was great cos we got to hang out around paris with all the pro skaters and graffiti guys.
Most nights we'd go out on the piss going from pup to pub getting lost then have to skate back to the hotel at godly hours when all the tubes were closed and there wasnt another soul about. some scary moments - but we always got home safe ;) lol

aaarrgl I love Paris. Haven't been since I was sixteen and now I want to move there!
The weather was shitty and so were the poodles but I really love the feel of the place. I didn't do much sightseeing or photography cos I was with friends but I'm planning to go over very soon when the weather is better, maybe by myself just to take photos and see if I like it as much as I think I do.
The guys we were staying with knew about the park, they said there is more there in summer, so will definately check it when I go back.
