Hitting the streets with Tony

Stayed at Shakespeare & Co. last night since we missed the last metro by about 5 hours. It's a famous English bookstore in Paris, run by a excentric man, George Whitman, who allows travelers to stay on the small beds around the store. The accomodations are just the necessities: bed(covered w/books) and W.C. No showers, but there's a city fountain(tim) out front.

Visited the flea markets of Clingoncourt, had a beer with a plumber from south-east africa, and Sacre Coeur(again) [2] with Tony.

Tony, from Arizona, invited me to a party that he had been invited to hosted by Jim Haynes(founder of SUCK magazine, 60's radical, english bookstore owner). Ninty-plus-people to talk with (Jim's 14-volume addressbook tells all), great food, great girls(Sylvia Beach Whitman). To the surprise of Tony and I, four S&Co. people showed up to. Pose before hitting the metro.

Wanna comment?
