Absinthe Ground Zero: Creux du Van, 15th June 2007
The home of La Fee Verte, the magical cliffs of Creux du Van, high in the mountains above the Val de Travers. We gathered there - from France, Switzerland, Italy, the UK, the US, Germany, Scandanavia - the day before the Fete de l’Absinthe at Boveresse to celebrate 10 years of the Fee Verte Absinthe Forum, and especially to pay tribute to Kallisti, who started it all.
The Heads and Francois Thevenin, GM of the Emile Pernot distillery in Pontarlier.
The Standard Deviant dressed down as usual.
Sixela (personal motto: Vorsprung durch Pedantik) explains an interesting nuance of the rarely used French pluperfect subjunctive to Dom, Marc and Helfrich. Then they tried to throw him off the cliff.
A rare photograph of publicity-shy Ted Breaux, the enigmatic Garbo-like founder of Jade Liqueurs.
The hallowed walls of the Le Soliat fondue hut at the top of the cliffs have a new marking….the enigmatic Head Prosthesis was here!

Damn, I missed the conversation about the pluperfect subjunctive! But well, if I had been part of the discussion, I would have been absent from the other photo.
