In return, i got tickets to the opening night of the festival, including a short by David Lynch and the premier of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/zephoria\/501376043\/\">My Blueberry Nights<\/a> (a Kar Wai Wong film starring Jude Law and Norah Jones and Natalie Portman and others).  So i had to get all dressed up and walk the red carpet.  Thank goodness for the SF designer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mirandacaroligne.com\/\">Miranda Caroligne<\/a> being so kind as to make me a dress for the adventure.  It was walking remix!  Totally purrrfect!<\/p>\n<p>Following the premier, i got to go schmooze at dinner with a bunch of folks that i&#8217;m sure i&#8217;m supposed to know but am dreadful at recognizing.  I&#8217;m currently back in my hotel giving my feet a rest before running off to a post-party party (sponsored by Louis Vuitton of all people).  This whole thing is quite absurd.  The glitz, the glam, the gawkers.  I feel *way* out of place, but it&#8217;s a fascinating ethnographic adventure.  Still, no one can believe that i don&#8217;t know who this that or the other person is.  Doo dee doo.<\/p>\n<p>More later&#8230; just thought folks (like my mom) would enjoy the pics!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That ridiculous picture to the left is me walking the stairs at the Cannes Film Festival. ::giggle:: I came to Cannes to give a keynote about youth and their engagement with film and new media.
