Bordeaux! C’est une ville tres beau! Yesterday before my show, I spent the afternoon wandering through the cobblestone streets of downtown. This is a beautiful old city, wow. Built for horses and pedestrians, long before the advent of the car. The streets are soooo narrow that in some places you can practically touch buildings on either side of the street at the same time!
This is “Rue du Soleil”… believe it or not, people drive down this street!
Just had an awesome hang out with my Brussels’ host (Frédéric Becker… rocks!): drinking assorted Belgian beer and talking assorted politics about Belgium, the world, Occupy Movement and matters of the arts. Afterwards we went on a brief tour through the old parts of the city, the awe-inspiring Grand Place, the steps of La Bourse, the Tin-tin murals. I even got to see Brussel’s pride and joy: the little peeing boy (aka Manneken Pis.)
Good morning, Brussels! Feeling oh so wide awake after 15+ hours in transit.
New Shows added in Zurich, Dusseldorf & Koln!
