nice legs

Saw a rugby match this weekend between Paris and Bourgoin (a team from Southern France). We left at halftime because the weather was typically Parisian. I'm not sure exactly what the mascot for Paris is, but their colors were the most flamboyant of pinks and a nice baby blue. Really tough. There were also pink lilies or something on all the team merch...

They throw each other into the air to catch throw-ins (not the correct term)

And this is a melee; where the 8 biggest guys from each team pounce on the ball...sort of like a jump ball?


Tricia and I went to see this band called Psapp from the UK play at this cool venue in the 20th called La Fleche d'Or...for those of you who go to U of I it was a lot like Canopy.


...they play children's toys-- that thing in the corner was some sort of dr. seussical horn made from like k'nex and a rubber lobster

  1. I'm all caught up now on your Parisian life. Also, I think that melee thing is called a scrum.
