24.02.02: Le Bastille, rue de la Roquette / Place de la Bastille Sometimes silly things like the price of an espresso do have to be noted. I'd paid 21 FF (about 3.00) at one of the St. Michel factory-farm cafés last St. Patrick's Day, which probably stands as my personal record. But the 2.60 for this one, not 15 minutes from my house, felt wrong. Just wrong. Granted it was one the borderline slick/trashy place on the Place de la Bastille, and I didn't have too much choice on a tranquil Sunday evening in winter. In any case, it was only a time-killer on the way to Place d'Italie to meet Brian and Damien, this year's Irish envoy to Créteil, for what can only be descirbed as the most whacked martial arts film I have ever seen.
