Librairie BD Fugue Cafe

rue Jean Francois Hache

Eve leaves for the US tomorrow. She's the tall blonde woman from Pittsburgh who keeps her own counsel most of the time, then lets loose with a well crafted opinion. Or a moose call. C'est depend.

I went over to her apartment this morning with a bag of pastries to share with her and her brother Jeremy over coffee. She was out of coffee filters, and it was too hot and we too lazy to get some. So we just boiled water and dumped in the grounds and let it settle before drinking it. Gritty, but not bad.

Still hungry, Jeremy, the least lazy of us, ran out to the gas station across the street and came back with eggs and cheese. Which we promptly ate.

After, Eve and I walked into town, sticking to the shade when possible. Eve lives near the Palais des Sports. Elton John is performing there tomorrow night. In the lot behind the arena was a moving van with the sign "Reserved for the Tea Women" in the driver's window. We theorized who these Tea Women might be and if there was an Elton John connection. But it was hot, so we kept on moving.

Eventually, after looking for a toy store I'd stumbled across once (didn't find it) and going to the post office and bank, we settled into this comic book shop/bar. Reading hard cover copies of French BDs (elaborate graphic books very popular here) we each drank a citron a l'eau.
