11時間半の空の旅は意外と快適。

いつもより寝れたし、スラムドッグミリオネアも観れたし、満足。

さて、到着後渋滞の中モンマルトルへ。チェックインもサウンドチェックも

気持ち悪いくらい問題なし。その後枝国んち「GUILO GUILO」へ。

京都人の数少ない友達と言える中のひとり枝国栄一、人間としてはともかく（笑）

クリエイターとして共感、尊敬してるんよねー。

音楽と料理、表現は違うけど、高みを目指す気持ちは似てる気がする。

そんな彼のパリのお店のまさしく一周年の3時間前ってタイミングに居合わせた。

オープニングに来れなかっただけに本当よかった。勿論料理もすばらしかったよ。

食事中も予約の客が早く来て押し出され気味、、パリでこんなって......

で、ELYSEE MONTMARTREでのパーティー巨大なウエアハウス内のクラブに

結構人は入っててなかなか楽しいパーティーだった。ちょっと客層が薄い気がしたけど、

ヴェニューは大きくなればまるほどそういうもんだよね。

勿論ヘッドライナーの役目ヤリキッタし、パリっ子ロックしといたしー。

パーティーの写真は次のブログにて☆

The hour and a half flight was surprisingly comfortable.
I got more sleep than usual and even saw some of "Slumdog Millionaire".
After arriving, I found myself in the middle of traffic on the way to Musée de Montmartre (モンマルトルへ). Checking-in and the sound check also went almost sickeningly well. Afterwards, it was off to Edakuni's place,「GUILO GUILO.」As far as people go, Eiichi Edakuni, who is one of my few Kyoto friends, is not just a really great guy (LOL) ... I also respect him as a creator. Though the expression of cuisine and music are different, I think their aim; the strive for excellence, is similar. And here we are meeting-up, 3 hours away from the one-year anniversary of the opening of his restaurant in Paris... what timing!!! I am so glad that I was able to attend the opening. Of course the food was delicious, but the patrons with reservations came in early so it felt like I was being pushed out. Even in Paris, huh!? The ELYSEE MONTMARTRE party was held at a club inside a huge warehouse. Lots of people came and it was a pretty interesting party. At
first, I thought that it was a thin crowd, but you know, the bigger the venue... that's just how it goes. Of course, I was able to pull off a headlining performance, and ROCKED the Paris kids!
I'll post the photos in the next blog!☆
