Christina Billotte
When Lidia and I knew about Quix*o*tic making a Spanish tour, we started to pack our bag in order to go to see them at the nearest city, that without looking up the map we knew it would be Madrid. 12 November 2000. If you don't know about it, Quix*o*tic is the new band where Christina Billotte is playing and i have to say that i like all the bands she has played with. Those are Autoclave and Slant 6 (is there has been other i don't know). So if you haven't heard them, now is a good moment, ok?.

The show went very well. I think all the people there enjoyed it a lot. It's not an everyday experience to hear something so personal and special. Nobody plays like Christina. She changed instruments with her sister Mira, who sings in a very intense way, really. At the end they played the Smokey Robinson cover you can find on their record ("Night for day"), "What's so good about goodbye". Wise words.

So, for making the end sweeter they gave us as a present other Smokey Robinson song! ("Who's lovin' you"). It has already become one of my favourite gigs.
Despite of what i said at the beginning, the thing was that me and Lidia went to buy the bus tickets the day before the show. We almost found an impossible mission traveling to Madrid, because all the normal tickets were sold out (and train tickets too), so we had to pay for "supra" class bus tickets!. I always thought that traveling by bus was incompatible with luxury...
