Le Set the la Butte... is this special hidden place in Montmartre that opened its doors especially for my show! What an honor!
I've been living in the Squat for a couple of days now.
I'm getting used to the rusticity, still I got the need to offer my guests some comfy sheets and pillows. What an update, what a fiesta! But I got a show tonight, so I head to that unique swimming parisian pool: it's on the boat on the Seine and you can see boats passing by while you're doing your laps! Quite amazing. I use the facility to do my hair, like a real homeless punk girl (or a Madonna Icon from the "Desperately Seeking Susan" model) and head to my gig.
Big luxury here! The sound guy is fantastic and reshapes my sound as I warm up, until he comes up with a sharp Rock one. My host is amazing, clamming his place as a church, and the place is definitely cut for my stories with lots of wood and exotic carpets.
I have to say it was quite impressive to play in front of people - friends, colleagues, and family - who mostly known me from another life where they all played a crucial role! So good to see everyone gathered in that precious moment! I know some of you came from a far away place, and I had a blast telling stories you'd never heard otherwise!
I ended up having a wonderful diner in the hills of Montmartre, where I used to live, which I rediscovered that night. Staying at one of my cousins was really lovely too since we had a chance to share a moment together, and I got to have coffee and a shower in the morning.
The next day I went to an Internet café and found out that my music video "Running Away" has been featured on YouTube, which stated 4,400 hits within 24 hours. I was so thrilled, I started to shake and had to tell the waitress about it!
What a blast!
