Skating, shopping, soccer and saveurs this weekend. More details below...Des Monstres Aux Skates
The Rubis bar which I wrote about just after it opened is getting more and more interesting. As well as regular concerts, they are now hosting an art exhibition called Des Monstres Aux Skates. Mini-interview with Paul Guidal, organiser of the event:
Can you describe the exhibition in a few words?
A group of artists using a skateboard as a support and monsters as a theme!
Why this theme and this support?
The idea came to me during the making of an animated film that I was directing. I thought it would be a good idea to reproduce the experience, and to bring together a group of artists, suggest a subject and a format, but without any particular graphic style imposed on them.
Who is taking part?
At first I thought that maybe there would be ten skateboards, but the idea proved to be a popular one, so I added ten more artists, and then another two that will be coming from New Zealand for the final exhibition (note: the boards will be displayed in three groups). Most of the artists come from the world of animation, but there are are also graphic artists, printers and illustrators.

Le PSG a 40 ans
Without giving too many secrets away, the leading football club in Paris was born in the same year as me, so it’s only natural that I should want to share in their party. The city of Paris is also getting involved with a selection of 40 iconic photos (Weah, Ginola, Ronaldhino) in the Hotel de Ville.

May also of interest this weekend
A few more ideas - if you have any others, please let me (and other readers) know in the comments.
- Ed Banger on Ice. The first Friday of the month in winter means ice-skating parties at the Pailleron rink. For those who want to continue the party later on, an after is planned at the Point Ephemere.
- The first weekend of the month also means free museums on Sunday. Click here for the full list of museums taking part.
- With Christmas nearly upon us, now is the time to stock up on food and wine. The huge annual December Salon Saveurs event gives us the opportunity. Tickets are normally 8 Euros, but you can normally find free passes in the magazine of the same name.
