2nd day

This is me.
This is me after thinking we would go back to Nice on Friday night, to be properly ready for my red carpet debut.
This is me in front of the Gran Palais, no deodorant, no brush, hair not cleaned in 2 days, going into a premier of a film called "The Map of the Sounds of Tokyo"
This is me on the Red Carpet in Cannes!

I felt a tad bit uncomfortable, but to be honest I was one of the most dressed up people there. There were a lot of jean wearers, t-shirts and birks w/ socks. I think maybe people thought they were going to Euro-Disney not Cannes which I thought was a bit disrespectful to the Cannes experience, but hey, it looked like I combed my hair with a porkchop.

What was I wearing?
I was wearing a borrowed dress from Martinique. Thank you Mandu!

The film was okay, but had one of the best movie soundtracks I have heard in a long time. (I thought the movie failed at doing a Wong Kar Wai impression, but he is my favorite director, so I am extra critical. And I am a movie snob)

It is still hard to believe I was there. On flickr there will be more photos of the inside of the theater.

This marks the end of my days at the 62 Annual Cannes Film Festival. I wish that I would have had the chance to see Asher's film in Cannes. I wish there would have been a way to sneak inside of the Short Film Corner, just to watch it. He got a lot of great response from his film and made some contacts. Keep your fingers crossed.

(This is him after the movie in front of the golden laurel)

We spent the rest of the day exploring the streets of Cannes. We had a great dinner at a cafe with this flamboyant rock and roll mama dressed owner who really knew how to hustle. The place was full and she was the only server, but no one cared. By the end of our dinner, they had dragged all of the inside tables outside, people who didn't know eachother were packed together at tables like sardines. Our dinner was two hours long and we were sat at the same table as a man from Detroit, who we talked to the whole time like we had been friends for years. That is what traveling does.

After, we packed up our teenie apartment and headed back to Nice.
