Black Tie Affair
The premier party for John Cameron Mitchell's "Walk Away, Renee" was much easier to work since we were only serving beer and wine. Not to say that there weren't many who would have preferred liquor or may have had too much to drink. However, all around though it was a success. The fashion was black tie and the music was hoppin'. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.The men were decked out in their finest, having come from the premier, and the women were in dresses of every kind. I was aware of the drinking in France, but it has amazed me how much alcohol we go through each night with these parties at The American Pavilion.
Work was quite a whirlwind on Sunday, and I believe the fact that most other places around town were closed was to blame. However, time always seems to fly when things get busy, so I am trying to make sure I am using my time wisely, continuing to connect with my customers. I actually was able to meet Robert M. Yandrofski who works for Open Water. He introduced me to one of his actors from New York and told me he had another actor coming this week who had a lot of connections with the Fashion Houses in New York. He gave me his card so that I could keep in touch and meet this actor to network.
At five, I met a friend and intern for a drink at the Short Film Corner "Happy Hour." It was interesting seeing all the flyers and posters for the shorts that are being used during the festival. We then decided to go to McDonald's and home for a nap. I can not tell you how amazing that first bite of my cheeseburger tasted, and do not fear, I also got a McFlurry. I have had McDonald's in three different countries now, and I have to say, France is in the lead for taste!
