and you may have noticed some differences in the blog’s skin. the pink might be a bit agressive i reckon. you’ll get used to it with time. i wanted some red but i know an other blog with a grey-black-red color-scheme already, and i do like pink :)

not even 2 months ago i would have never thought of going one day to la route du rock. i had only one envy for august: attending once again to an ellen allien’s dj set. moreover because she’s playing in cannes for the festival pantiero. but times have a bit changed and i seem to prefer popbitches to electroclashlesbians. good. awesome even! so here is the next days schedule: friday morning (or i should say friday night!): train lausanne->geneva->paris. then i have to leave some stuff at eloyz‘ flat before we get an other train paris->rennes->st-malo on friday afternoon. there, we will fight against the forecast rain and surely drink anything but water until monday morning. on monday we will come back to paris where i’ll stay until tuesday evening to catch a train to swiss-boring&depressing-land in the evening.
now, please, have look at your dictionaries for the expression: rock’n'roll because this long weekend will be pure essence of it! ôôô yess !
