Stan Sakai attends the Japan Expo in Paris and gives the kind of travel report only a very seasoned traveler could produce — lots of good info here! Also, the nugget that he’s writing a Hulk story for Marvel. WOOT!
I have 12 books in France–16 if you count the four original oversize editions–so I was kept busy singing all the time. Fanfan was there and, at 4:30, escorted me to a signing at an Album store. The chain has three stores in Paris, and about 30 throughout France. I was at the one in Bercy. Customers were given tickets for the signing, but I went through them, and signed for any one who wanted it.
We dined outdoors at a restaurant across from the store. I had roasted duckling with new potatoes. The creme brulee with ginger bread pieces and fig syryp was too sweet. I also had a banana nector/pineapple drink. I had never even heard of banana juice. It was worth trying once, though not twice.
That should be “signing”, not “singing”. Not even French people would want to hear me sing.
