Just checked his FB page. He says he's safe and sound.
I'm good, guys....thanks for the concern. I'm here shooting a documentary at the Univ Of Paris Sud.........had to literally sneak back into the city tonight. Whole place is on lockdown. No metro.......No busses......no nothing. I'm staying at the Westin near the Louvre....and it's a ghost town outside. Only thing you hear are sirens.
I'm in my hotel...........all is well. Tomorrow might venture out depending what the reports are. The feeling in the air here is weird.

Yeah, but you're still going to watch the Iowa game, right?
Good to hear your safe.
If you have trouble with the game here are a couple sites I use here in Europe.

Have to navigate all the pop ups but you can usually get the games.
We stayed at that westin and returned last week. The us embassy is just to the right around the corner f you ever need to make a run for it. Sorry you are stuck in lock down. Good luck getting home safe and sound.
I am glad you are okay. Would you be able to post some pictures? Clearly we are getting a load of material back home, but if you have some of your own man-on-the-street pictures I would appreciate them.
Good man, eff terrorism; there are Hawkeyes to be watched!
I haven't been able to get out around the city today....had more filming to do.....I will be out and about all day tomorrow.......the Eiffel Tower and other places are closed.....so it might mean a very easy city to get around tomorrow.
I haven't seen the news at all today so i don't know what's being said. Just returned to my hotel..........so trying to catch up.
once again...thanks for the concern and caring, guys. I take it to heart. "Might" be in town for the Purdue game. But only if Im' not working on the 21st. I will be in Iowa working between the 18th and the 25th.
One piece of information.......... I haven't talked to him yet, but a friend of a very good friend of mine is the tour manager for Eagles of Death Metal.........he saw all of it start to go down before the band fled the stage. I want to interview him and possibly the band, once this all settles down.
I know this much from last night. EoDM were in the middle of a song when the gunmen ran in and started opening fire........The band stopped playing...and once they saw what was going on, dropped their guitars and sprinted from the stage. They were able to get out of a loading dock door and ran to the nearest police they saw, and begged them to go in and do something.

You mentioned not being able to watch the news and I thought, "what would be the point if you can't understand what they're saying?"
If I were you I would lock my door and get hammered drunk on the finest French beer and whiskey.
I assume those things exist? If I knew where to find them I would do the same thing in IA
