I gorgeous day in Cannes. We had rain (mostly drizzle) on Friday followed by a beautiful day on Saturday. I am sitting with in the cabana of our Tunisian friends right on the beach. The Tunisians are awesome hosts to us and we hang out with them often. They are happy to offer us a beer (or coffee) at 10am. Yes the beach out in front of the cabana is topless, but somehow not all that spectacular because many women are, let’s just say, “retirement age”. And yes there are the 60 year old bronzed men in speedos that let me know I am another country all together.

The busiest days at the Marche du Film (FIlm Market) are Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, so I am spending most of my time this afternoon setting up appointments with film reps and distributors on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday we may just take the day and see some sights away from Cannes.

Monday evening we are hosting a reception sponsored by Spiderwood Studios and the Austin Film Commission. We will be having some fun and will take a bunch of photos for everyone to see. In the mean time we have some invitations to pass out.

I am rushing to get to my next meeting.

I upload my photos to my facebook account. Be my friend by looking up by “Richard Dean Johnson” on Facebook. I can post to FB from my iPhone and I post smaller notes more regularly since I have it with me all the time. The laptop gets heavy to carry around in addition to the promitonal materials that I carry around with me.

Also, my friend David Anderson is a voice on KVET in Austin. He blogs more regularly than I do and you can see his posts at www.am1300thezone.com/pages/davidanderson.html. He calls into the Bucky and Bob show with daily (weekday) updates from Cannes as well.

Merci!
