Took the stairs up the Eiffel Tower. By the first platform I thought my fear of heights had gotten the better of me - but one beer later I took another flight to the second platform - which is as far as the steps go. While the view of Paris is stunning, the building itself really is a masterpiece of functioncal ingenuity and transparent elegance. Certainly one of my favourite pieces of architecture - maybe even my favourite. (And getting back down the stairs was a breeze...) Pictures here.

Took a stroll through the nearby Montmartre Cemetery - with its rows of sepulchres like strange little stone houses for the dead probably one of the weirdest places I've ever visited. Didn't do the "graves of the famous" tour, but did come across Berlioz, Offenbach and Foucault (the pendulum guy, not the philosopher).
Later, we went to the small island of Île St-Louis - one of my favourite spots in Paris. After another fine lunch at Le Caveau de l'Isle and an ice cream dessert at the Berthillon tea room, we were close to a culinary overdose...

Flew off to Paris and checked into a delightful "homeexchanged" apartment on Montmartre. Yes, it even has a balcony...

My last Neon Machine gig - at least for the time being: Private birthday party for drummer René.

With the audio part of State of Mind debut album as finished as it will ever be, I'm now back in the studio. To prevent boredom and writer's block I'll try working on three separate projects at once - all involving generous helping of my new Minimoog Voyager. Results will be posted on a need-to-know basis.
