Quay Paree


InCiters on the Seine [Click for Larger Image]

In Paris we were booked on a converted barge boat docked on the river Seine. In the area there were several other boats converted to restaurants and clubs. Ours was the Alternate. We arrived fairly early in the morning and after some maneuvering, got positioned on the quay a short distance up the Seine from the Alternate. No power or facilities but there was a hotel room nearby that we hit up for showers after the show.

With five hours liberty, most of us walked up to Notre Dame and poked around there, eating and sightseeing. I walked into the restricted area of a Venetian costume event, completely innocently. I snapped a bunch of pictures with the press before someone realized that my little camera looked out of place and asked for my press pass.

The Alternate show was good. We played to an enthusiastic if not overwhelming crowd. I am sure we would have sold a bunch singles if we had any. The motion of the boat when rocked by the wakes of the tourist boats took some getting used to but no one got seriously sea sick.
