Okay, so I am not keeping my promise to blog everyday, but I told you before hand that I might not get around to it because Cannes is too much of a party to spend at a computer. 

Day 4 was a big day On the Carpet because of the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 or 4 or whatever, so Johnny Depp caused a stir along with his co¨star Penelope Cruz.  Cannes can be crazy when the big stars show up on the carpet.  It is almost impossible to walk down Le Croissette. 

I got invited to a party by one of my new friends Miranda to meet some of her clients but missed  it because of an internet glitch and my France phone has been receiving text messages but will not allow me to send texts to anyone.  So I had to resort to my old phone from last year which has no backlight so I cannot see what I am texting very well.  (Something is trying to mess with my progress here.)  I also just got a message from Miranda telling me about meeting some other people who might be interested in my Red Carpet Productions and saying that De Niro invited us to a boat party.  Have not been able to contact her and I am really getting more and more upset with my internet connection.  (Can we say p???ed.)

Day 5 shaped up to be interesting as well.  Yolonda's Symposium was a big success and had  a good turnout.  It was also very informative for young filmmakers.  Good job Yolonda. 

After the seminar I went to Nikki Beach (my favorite hangout) and ended up at the table next to Kanye West who was hanging out with some of his friends.  He was really very cool.

As I was leaving Nikki I ran into my friends Fileena and Joanne from Hawaii for the first time since I arrived in Cannes. Fileena gave me a beautiful pair of earrings that she made especially for me. (gotta love that girl). We hung out for a while before I had to head back to Nice.

So my Cannes adventure has been very interesting so far this year and On the Red Carpet is turning out to be quite a rug.

Til next time (whenever)
