Photo de la Festival de Cannes!

This took much longer than it should have b/c of a caustic mix of busyness and laziness. Anyway, if anyone's interested, here's some choice photos from Cannes. First is the red carpet entrance to the Lumiere Theater (where the big, black-tie premieres happen.)

Above is the Carlton, one of the many huge luxury hotels along the beach, decked out in movie-promotion-mania.

Below: The Mediterranean, a block or two from our hotel (which was a 30 min walk or 5 min drive to the Lumiere Theater.





Indy-fever: the front of the Carlton hotel and fans outside for the Indiana Jones premiere, many were wearing these terrible "Indiana Jones"-hats that looked like a 5-year-old's cowboy costume.

Below: Mike Tyson at the premiere of "Tyson"

Above: The incredibly stylish terminal at Charles DeGaulle airport in Paris before boarding the plane to sweet home Chicago.

Below: We were waiting around in front of the carpet to hit the town for the night. I decided to light up a cigar and it turned out to be quite the photo-op.


Something also worth a look, if you're really feeling French, is this short film that some of the guys on the trip made at the hotel (regrettably, I had had virtually nothing to do with the making of this) . It's kind of the product of an inside joke, but I think it perfectly sums up French people. It's called "Bonjour".

Coming soon, an update for LA Apartment Search 2008! (hopefully)

Hey, thanks for the "Bonjour" shout out. How's L.A.? We're going to be there for a couple of months in a couple of weeks. Maybe see you around.
