I went to the Comédie on Friday and Saturday.
One of the first celebrities I met there was Eric who manages a video company and a blog called Vudici. There is a video about the Comédie on his blog. If you watch it, you will see me as I was interviewed by Eric.
The lady is our mayor, Hélène Mandroux. The man is Franz-Olivier Giesbert, a journalist and a writer, who hosts a program on TV entitled FOG (his initials). Don't you think FOG and Mme Mandroux seem to be singing in unison?
My French blogger friends will recognize this other celebrity very easily. He is one of the personalities the French like best.
Now I'm going to do something very bad. After the opening of a cultural event, the city hall generally offers drinks and food to the "attendees." Well-behaved people take a glass and an amuse-gueule or two and then they let other people reach the counter. Some people are not well-behaved. They stay before the counter and they drink and eat everything their stomach can contain. We call them pique-assiette. That's what the lady with glasses did.
Thank you very much to all the bloggers who left messages on my previous post. I will not be able to visit your blogs before the end of this week. I am leaving Montpellier for Connecticut on Wednesday.
La Comédie du Livre s'est tenue ce week-end à Montpellier. Les photos que j'ai postées montrent Eric Galland, de la société (et du blog) Vudici. Si vous regardez la vidéo qu'il a mise en ligne sur la Comédie, vous pourrez me voir et m'entendre :-)) La dame de la seconde photo est Hélène Mandroux notre maire, et l'homme est Franz-Olivier Giesbert qu'il est inutile de présenter.... J'espère que vous reconnaîtrez l'homme aux cheveux blancs de la troisième photo. Dans la quatrième, on peut voir une pique-assiette ordinaire qui a dévoré pratiquement un plat sous mon regard courroucé.
