I fell off the proverbial wagon slightly. The rules of my walking adventure through France have been bent slightly. Ted Mayhem offered me his clothes and a meal in a lovely restaurant. I couldn't refuse. The descriptions on the menu were so funny and as Ted read them to me out the car window I salivated profusely. Stevie also broke out the Campari. We dined like French kings speaking in broken Latin-influenced romantic words. Words like 'Merci' and 'Avez vous une bicyclette?'

But I also hadn't realized that I had a gig to do in Austria tomorrow. It isn't Mayhem's job to remind me of such things but after the sharp intake and choking up of my duet of roasted goat, we figured we could make Nice airport quite comfortably if I put on a brisk walk for 36 hours. Putting the smelly yellowing T-shirt back .. a night in Ted's 5 star tent felt horrible. I actually shouldn't have taken it off. I made the flight to Vienna and I have to make the decision whether to go back for more walking or home to my bed and back to Stevie's house to edit the video. I think we got some amazing shots though. I only wish we could have seen Ted's paragliding footage.. I feel free, calm and sandy

lol... I've been waiting for a gig in Austria for several years now and you tell me in your blog that you nearly missed it... Oh my gosh, can't believe that. Shame on you, Mike! ;D

To make good for it, you gotta say at the concert tomorrow "bam oida". just pronounce it "bum oi-tha". It's an expression that whole Austria uses at the moment. It means sth like "let's have a party". Everyone will laugh, i promise! *rofl*

you're right it's very usefull and romantic to know : 'Avez vous une bicyclette?'
hope that you liked the French food and that French people did welcome you correctly!
Bon appétit (good appetite) et Bon concert (have a good gig!)
Greetings from a French fan ;)
