TouLyoNice

I have to throw these cities into one blog since I can't remember a helluva lot of details.

Toulouse, I got nothing. Not even any pics. We didn't even stay in the city and left right after the show. I hear it's quite nice though.

Speaking of "Nice", what a dump. Ok, that may be a bit harsh but the entire city is under construction. I think they are putting in a new metro system or something, but not the elegant sea resort I was expecting. The streets down by the the water were really nice, quaint, cobblestone streets. Plus there was a big carnivale parade going on so lots of festivity. After our show we went cruising down the back streets of Nice to find some seedy bar to have a few drinks at, mission accomplished. And on the way back we had probably the best kebab any of us had ever had. I wish I had a photo to share of the kebab but you'll just have to settle or these:

Lyon, was short and sweet. The venue, Ninkasi, was a cool little rock and roll bar with a side restaurant attached that we hung out at afterwards. We were tipped off where to go drink and took several cabs down to this bar which was actually a house boat. It wasn't adrift but that would have been extra cool. Lots of cool folks there that had a great time at the show and wanted to do it up all night, but we had to hit the road. And hit the road we did. Next stop, gay ole Paris.....
