Not Constantinople

I originally designed this site to share photos of my trip to Turkey and Bulgaria in 2005 (hence the name) But as I'm currently living in London, this seems like the perfect place to share general updates and specific antecdotes...without running up my phone bill.

7.7.07

So, details...I had tickets to Live Earth (big concert, you may have
heard) and I offered the second one to my friend Betsy, who it turns out
is related to the bass player for Foo Fighters (months I've known
her and she didn't bring this up!) Anyway, Nate (her cousin, the bass
player) gave us VIP "Artist Guest" Passes. They wouldn't get us
back stage or even better seats, but they DID get us into the VIP
lounge where all the famous people in the secured boxes got to eat and
drink for free.



I met Eddie Izzard, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ioan Gruffuld, Kyle Mclaughlin,
and my personal favourite, Dave Grohl and his 18 month old daughter. I
met a BUNCH of British stars that I didn't know from Adam (Kasabian
and one of the guys from Bloc Party are two I remember NOT recognizing)
Of course I played it too cool to actually get a photo with any of
them...I didn't want to be the annoying groupie...not sure if I regret that
or not.

Anyway, it was really cool. The sneaky candids may get posted later,
they didn't turn out well b/c it was kind of dark, and I was trying to
be sneaky!
