I was sitting next to a guy reading the January 2003 issue of American Window Cleaner magazine, formerly published out of Point Richmond, CA. (Now published out of Bedford, N.Y.). Who knew?
During my 17 hour stint in Paris I managed to buy three of the four Marjane Satrapi Persepolis comics in French from a bookstore in the Parisian suburb of Issy, where my aunt lives, for a total of 45 euros. (Shipping to the US would cost me 15+ euros.) I also bought a big duty-free bottle of Havana Club rum at Charles de Gaulle airport for about 12 euros and managed to smuggle it into the Commie-hating US of A. We’ll be drinkin’ mojitos at my New Year’s party, yessir. 🙂
