Sorry Mona Lisa, that was pretty good, but not quite as cool as meeting James Hetfield and the "new bassist", Robert Trujillo, of METALLICA at the freakin Louvre!
Seriously. We were sitting there staring at the sculptures and resting our aching legs and I hear people speaking English, which is refreshing and Tim is doing double takes at these guys. I didn't see James at first and Tim was all, that looks like the new bassist for Metallica and that's James Hetfeild.
Very cool, nice guys. We didn't get pictures with them or autographs b/c you know, we are cooler than that. I did however try to snap a picture before everything went down. A little blurry as I was hurrying before Tim got to him & trying to be discreet, but definitely James.
They told us they usually stay in Paris when playing over here, you know they "make it their home base". Rockstars.
So, what did we do ... we left. Nothing at the Louvre was going to top that. Tim was like a kid in a candy store. Shook James' hand twice and Robert's once. He probably hasn't washed it either.
Great pix. Hope you guys are having a good time. Papa and Syriah are doing their thing and I'm sure Papa will be sore by the time you get back home. She hit the swimming pool, rode her bike (getting better everytime she rides it), did back flips (w/Papa's help) and played catch. No wonder I'm tired. Keep the blog and pix coming, always looking forward to the next chapter.
ReplyDeleteThats cool! I hope you had been at the louvre for a while to enjoy it first!
