Another quiet week for Lara publicly, with no indication where she is or whether she’s currently working on the new album. Gigi d’Alessio was at the nrj music awards on the 17th but Lara was not, which might suggest she is away.
The new version of the official site announced on the 20th that fan club resubscriptions were now available – but on going to it today, it was still unavailable. The price has gone up 2 euros, to 40 euros/year. Outside of the private ‘concert’ in October, the only thing this healthy amount has seemed to bring were the 4 Farfallinas (the quarterly magazine) – and even that is not really assured. Several people in the States have not yet received the newest version, and even the previous one had to be asked for several times. The Fan Club has been run in as desultory a manner as everything else associated with the official site. A number of people writing in have said they are not planning to renew; it will be interesting to see if Lara’s people make more effort in this regard.
Fans however continue to be active in their own way. In case you haven’t noticed, all of Lara’s songs/duets with Mario Frangoulis from the concert in Athens on September 24th are now available on Youtube. (Do a search for Lara and Mario Frangoulis at Herodian…) It was a wonderfully unique set, and thanks go to JeSuisMonCoeur for making them available.
In addition, a televised version (Greek TV) of All Alone Am I is available at:

More good news: NABBOX has been saved! Stephanie has agreed to be the new administrator, and Arnaud will remain on board to handle technical issues. The necessary funds to continue are still being solicited, so if you’re interested in contributing, go to
www.nabbox.com/index.php?...12053&st=0
There are 3 payment options, but the easiest is option 1 (if you’ve already registered), and one can do it through paypal. (Payment is not necessary to use the forum or download videos, a service which is available for all who register.)
