We’ve returned from Paris and the jetlag has abated (mostly).

It was a really great event – tons of attendees, lots of really detailed presentations and extended Q&A sessions, plenty of tiny, tiny food. Our partners at GOA went all-out, providing an amazing facility, GIANT Chosen and Witch Hunter statues to keep Jeff and I company on stage and plenty of excellent extra-curricular activities. So a big thanks to those guys for running an absolutely kick-ass event.

If you sent me something via Amazon that came off of my wishlist, two things:

1) Thank you!
2) I have no idea who you are because it came unsigned/unlabeled.

Please drop me a line to confess your generosity so that I may thank you properly.

We’re in France. We’re getting de-jetlagged. We’ve hit the Louvre (and will be posting a Very Special Mythic Tour later) and consumed something called “Campari” which – as near as I can tell – is iced Lemon Pledge furniture polish in a glass.

As part of my plan to always eat ridiculous, stereotypical foods when visiting Foreign Lands, my first meal was escargot followed by steak tartare:

I’m not sure what, specifically, woke me up at 3:00 AM with what the Hickman refers to as “assouline” and what our buddy Roland calls “Pershing’s Hole,” but I’m inclined to blame the Campari since the tartare and the escargot were both delicious.

I’m off to Paris for our big European press event!

Sorry I’ve been running silent for a few weeks, but we’ve had a TON of work to do to get ready for the French event and there hasn’t been much extra time for posting. Keep your eyes peeled over the next week as we’ve got a TON of new stuff coming out all over – and not just from Paris!

I’ll be back in next Saturday (my birthday!). Have a great week!

P.S. For anyone curious about the countdown ticker on the WAR Europe site, MBJ’s laid down the facts for you here.

We had a studio-wide Rock Band contest recently. Ten bands (not counting The Hickman’s “Boring Managers Band” who opened the show) competed for Wiis, iPods and undying rock glory. Paul and I MCed, dressed as two gents who JUST BARELY missed the chance to join KISS. Check out the pictures in the album below… IF YOU DARE!!!
