Paying our respects
It's difficult to say something about the Paris attacks without sounding patronising/angry/worried/scared/upset/shocked/devastated.

I wanted to pay tribute to those who lost their lives or were hurt. For those who survived and will forever remember the horrific events.
This blog is also to remember those gig-goers who would never expect such an ending.
Here are some of the most touching things I've found in reaction to the attacks:
1. @beclumsy works for La Blogothèque (they film music concerts all over France/the world), her blog serves almost as a diary and is very moving.
2. This article is from a webzine that reviewed the 'Eagles of Death Metal' concert.
3. Joann Sfar's drawings. Click here for the translated ones too.
4. Lettre à Paris is a collection of thoughts from hundreded of people (initiated by Radio Nova).
5. This child trying to understand the attacks (subtitled in English)
And finally, contributions:
Touchant (Moving) Ce dessin de Vidberg dans le journal "L'Equipe" m'a arraché mon premier sourire depuis vendredi soir. Les équipes d'Angleterre et de France ne faisant qu'une, ce pourrait être aussi notre devise à Culturethèque. 8-8-4 forever ! Philippe
