Exhausted. Back from a one-day trip to Paris yesterday. Hell IS the last Easyjet flight from anywhere. Saw some friends old and new, and as a bonus got taken to the vernissage of FIAC, Paris' big annual contemporary art fair. There was the usual dicks-and-fannies shocko/yawnorama, and the "I'm so clever that just by photographing an advertisement I raise it to the status of ART!" stuff, but also a lot of excellent, innovative, and disturbing work. Inspiration for SMOKE covers, ahoy. Also, I've come to the uncomfortable realisation that I mainly know Paris from where events in Melville films occur. The Place Vendome is the heist scene from CERCLE ROUGE, etc. Oh, and girls: never, ever walk down the Rue de Faubourg du Temple in a miniskirt, unless you want to be propositioned by lots of very shopworn-looking men.
