When I went to Paris last December I made the mistake of staying in a 2 Star Hotel; it wasn’t a disaster and could have been much worse, but it was depressing all the more, when I first confronted where I was to stay for the next 4 or 5 days (even as I was out most of the time).

On my first evening in Paris, December 9th, I made this sketch in my hotel room, trying to be optimistic.

It was only later that I realized why the French were able to stand it, but I won’t go into that here. Below is the movie I made when I first arrived in my room after an average Trans Atlantic flight from New York. I also added some footage of me leaving the Louvre and then dropping my camera later that day or the next. Fortunately, the camera was repaired and the movie, you see, below.

Just wanted to share this.

I’m still in Paris attending LeWeb3; leaving tomorrow to go back to NYC – but I thought I’d post a movie I made at Maxim’s last Sunday. 

Also I spent much of Monday at the Louvre and will spend a couple of hours tonight at the Louvre.

I am Invited to cover LeWeb3 07 in Paris next month and now working on the logistics of how to pay for getting and staying there (I’m covering the conference as a blogger – while I’m sure I could speak there as well – I didn’t ask for that).

As I mentioned in my Webmetricsguru.com post – I find myself dreaming up all kinds of things – and they often come to pass – though I can’t usually control the the timing and circumstances.

Wish me good fortune in my dreaming.
