This blog




This blog was intended to be incorporated in a new Web site for a new music label company in Paris. This all ended when my collaborator, Gerald Dierick, beat me. He works for L'eclaireur Music of the boutiques L'eclaireur and was supposedly working on the "Docks en Seine" project for the company. I was left with a swollen foot and bruises on my body that lasted over a week. He denied this fact and turned the whole story against me, making me look like the aggressor instead. He is a former guitarist, musician under the name of Gadje and his proper name. His Web site is: http://www.myspace.com/lidvinus63
He now works at the Cite de la mode et du design, also called Docks en Seine. It is a scandal that a man who beats women can sill still have a proper position.
