what i've been doing lately.

Last Sunday Devin and I tried out La Villette Sonique, a FREE music festival that's in the north east corner of Paris. We saw Monotonix, (band from Israel that was kicked out of the country because of their rowdy shows) Deerhoof (mostly unremarkable), and Dan Deacon...which made me happy and sore from jumping/dancing/being stepped on/kicked etc. for the next few days. Here's a photo of Devin and I courtesy of Miles...no idea how he found it:


(I'm to the right of the dude in the shades and striped polo, Devin is the curly haired dude with the hipster glasses)

Then last night some amis et moi went to the Champ de Mars and had the usual bread/cheese/wine/chocolate binge and then watched Home, a film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand that was planet earth-esque and amazing to watch on a huge screen right in front of the Eiffel Tower. The field was completely packed with Parisians...possibly a thousand? It was phenomenal. The film was also screened in Central Park, and was airing live on France 2 last night. You can learn about it here

Leaving Paris in 13 days...still need to find a way to the airport (don't want to pay for a cab) and am grasping desperately for things I need to do before I leave. I feel pretty well accomplished if I do say so myself :)
