G+ Concert #2 with Special Guest Henry Strange June 3

Assuming the 1st G+ Concert goes well, we’ve got another one scheduled for Sunday, June 3, 2012 from 8-9p Paris time.  So 2-3p EST, 1-2p CST, and 11-12p PST.

We’ll have special guest electronic musician Henry Strange performing solo, as well as with me.

What will be different this time around:

Live studio audience!

Live cameraman, so better camera angles, as well as handheld footage.

Keep Portland Weird… In Paris? Similarities Between Paris and Portland

Ok, so I just found out last night that my old friend drummer Ji Tanzer from Portland (OR) is playing with a band tonight here in Paris as part of a special 5-day “Keep Portland Weird” event at La Gaîté Lyrique  at the Centre Pompidou.  I love how the website introduces the “guest city,” which follows on the heels of the two previous “guest” cities–  Istanbul… and Berlin.  Um, ok.  Logical progression, right?

Videos from Aux Trois Mailletz

I just found these videos buried in a folder on my computer from a Parisian night on the town with my family last September– it’s a pretty accurate depiction of how a night can progress at the famous cabaret, Aux Trois Mailletz.  I have to say that the 3rd one was truly one of the best moments of my life.

Painting Snow Day

summer-paintingFirst snow day!  (First one since I’ve been here, anyway.)  And it was Sunday, so the world was shut down anyway.  I had such a delicious day– I went to the market and then I stayed in by myself and painted all afternoon.  It was really significant, because I haven’t painted one girl since I’ve been here (been a little creatively stagnant).  Today, I finished up one that I had started in the states, so she’s truly an international baby.  If you’d like to see how she progressed and who she finally became, click here. Click here to see some photos I took of Paris being its snowy self.

Limoncello Syllabub Recipe

Limoncello SyllabubI brought this dessert to a recent party Lauren threw for Gé to celebrate that he quit smoking.  Super easy and everyone loved it.  Here’s the recipe, adapted for all the stumbling blocks France tried to put in my way: More

Everything’s Foreign

Paris Ham

This is all ham!

It’s weird being in a new place.  It’s hard to like, figure out what to eat.  I can’t describe it… just imagine if every single kind of everything at the grocery store was different.  They even cut their cows up differently– none of the cuts mean anything to me.  Deli meat is sold in packages with just two slices inside.  And not only that– More
