BRUSSELS for Serge's Concert

Serge Kakudji planned a concert to thank all of the people who have
helped him over the past few years, and my ex-boyfriend Jan offered
the "box" of his theater for the venue, so Tullio and I trekked to
Brussels after my Lille concerts to see his concert.
We spent part of the day listening to his "sound check" - which was
almost a run-through of the entire program. I had to stop him so he
wouldn't sing himself out, but overall, the whole concert was in good
shape. We then went to hang out with my good friend Anait and her
family. Since I'm godmother to her littlest girl (Nina), we thought
it was fitting that we spend some time with them!!! Anait, as usual,
obliged my sometimes obsessive nature and played through some of the
Strauss with me for my concert in L.A.

Serge's concert went swimmingly, and we were SO proud of him!  We hung out in the bar afterwards with friends, and got to catch up with a bunch of people, and everyone got to meet my husband.  Even Jan and he had a chat, which was a little weird but nice. Of course they knew each other over the years, as Tullio and I have been friends forever, but it was strange for all of us to meet again with our relationships so changed.   But we got over it quickly, and it was so nice to be able to have so many dear people to me all together in one room.  Of course I didn't take any pictures, idiot that I am...

Next, HOME!  via Charleroi...   I'm so glad Tullio rented a car!
