Movie On Ze Beach In Cannes
Now on to more serious things. Yeah, right! A few weeks ago Blork and Martine spent some time in San Francisco and Ed kept blogging all the cool stuff they were doing, and I considered blogging from France to get back at him. In the end I didn’t do it, too much trouble blogging from internet cafes. But now I’m back and here’s my answer: movie on the beach at Cannes during the festival!! Huh? Huh? How’s that Ed? This ain’t to stinkin’ Apple Store! I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I love Ed. ;)
You can see the complimentary wool covers to keep warm, the beach chairs to be all comfy and the structure where the screen will be raised a few minutes later.
Ok, the movie was Dawn of the Dead but still, pretty darn cool if I do say so myself. Here’s a shot from the boardwalk and oh, before I forget, one of Pedro Almodovar while he was walking on the red carpet in front of us earlier that day.
[Update] I didn’t realize this, Dawn of the Dead was an official Cannes film, hors compétition!
Back, Kinda
I said I would’nt blog until June but, well, I feel like it so a few numbers, while I have them in mind.
- Pictures taken: 894 (that’s not counting the ones deleted on the fly but including the ones I will delete as soon as I see them on a bigger screen).
- Unread news in the RSS reader: 1476
- Cafes offering free wireless in Paris: Too many to count, I shit you not. And they say France is behind internet wise!
- Most expensive Coke can price I saw: 3.90 € and that’s not in a bar either. And don’t forget the 8.50 € pints of beer. Then again, pretty good bottle of white wine for 5.5 €…
- Hot women: lots and lots but we still have more ;). But daaamn do they dress sharp in Paris!
- Number of japanese tourists seen taking a picture of themselves with some work of art or another: Not sure I can count that high.
- Number of pairs of Puma “sneakers” seen: What’s the population of France again?
- Times I whipped my head around and thought “man this city is gorgeous!” : At least twice an hour and I’m including sleeping hours in that average.
- Times I thought “If only there were fewer tourists” : About the same as above.
- Spending 18 days in France: Priceless. Well, not really but I’m not sure I want to know how much it cost me. Anyone have a contract for me?
