Fantastic day out today!

First supporting our friend Jamaican-Caribbean friend Sutanya (aka Dinner For One) who held a pop-up residency at Comptoir Sur Mer, a local seafood establishment next to the Canal St Martin — she was co-hosting along with another fellow caribbean cheffe and we had a blast discovering these incredible flavors.

Next up: a pit stop at Buddy Buddy, a place I’d been waiting to try for a while, which happened to be just a bloc behind the restaurant.

And later: a long walk with my wife & daughter to head home on foot :)

Finished reading: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus: Season 8 Volume 2 by Joss Whedon 📚

2/3 in, things start getting very crazy!
But by the time I finished this “season” — it felt very true to itself and a great extension of the Buffy universe.

Wonderful night out for the official #NBAPlayoffs @trashtalkfr.bsky.social viewing party at Le Grand Rex (an iconic 1020s movie theater —one of the most beautiful and still one of the biggest in Europe today)

My second time being able to score tickets and love the experience with the other 2500 fans cheering all night long!
Special guests this year: Mickael Pietrus and Maxime Raynaud (one of the best rookies of the year and hopefully soon a French National Team player!)

A group of people is watching a large screen promoting an NBA Playoffs viewing party in Paris presented by Unibet.An NBA viewing party is taking place inside a theater with a large screen displaying matchups, featuring a vibrant red arched lighting design.A large screen in a dimly lit theater displays a close-up of a basketball player during a game.A large indoor screen displays a basketball game to an audience seated in a theater.
