The Crêpe Nazi

Friday night:

Went out with my Spanish friends for the 'best crêpes in Paris' (it's on Rue Mouffetard...look for the lines...). We were very careful in ordering however, because apparently last time David made a slight change to his order half way through and the guy making the crêpe went crazy at him and threw away the whole meal in a fit of rage.

Sound a bit like this guy?

The Pepe Special = Fromage, Fromage de Chevre, Jambon, Oeufs, Salade = REALLY GOOD!

Saturday:

Drew pictures with Céleste this morning for 2 hours which was awesome. The family are moving to Thailand soon so my days of this sweet job are running out! Then had a lazy day at home. Really needed it as have been super tired. I did go up to the Sacré Coeur with Anna to watch the sunset (as she's moved really close to me now) and although the sunset wasn't visible due to the clouds it was nice to hang out. Then went home and watched 127 Hours...

I really liked it. I think James Franco did a really great job. He brought 'something special' to his performance. We got to see his fantasy and fun in how he deals with cutting off his own arm!

Sunday:

Had a fantastic meeting with Loredana (our Thursdays movement teacher) about putting on WANNABE at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I thought she could be great to direct as she's full of energy, is intelligent, really positive - and she knows the type of performance I'm trying to achieve (as she trained and works at École Philippe Gaulier!). So I asked her a wee while back if we could meet up to talk about it. She was full of ideas – smart ones (like honing in on finding the humanity in the show) - she seems to understands what the audience wants (nastiness!) and we're going to meet again soon. It was great to meet up with her. I felt really inspired and excited after it. Like I had got a new boost of confidence.

I also loved how she said if we do it we have to go "wanting to win". This spooked me out a bit because all the advice I’ve been given about Edinburgh is to not expect too much because you’ll be disappointed. But she said if you go just wanting an experience then that’s what you’ll get. But if you go wanting to win then you might just win. Of course she said there’s a balance – but she’s pumped me with a bit of a drive which is great.

We're going to meet up later in the week (I gave her the DVD) so let's see what she has to say...

Also I just bought tickets to London in 2 weeks for the 'Edinburgh Fringe Road Show'. I was doing a bit of research and came across this and thought it would be a good opportunity to go and speak to people face-to-face about what the festival is all about and how to make it work. I've found it really hard to get moving just sitting at home on my laptop looking at websites. Will also see my good friend Ryan there which is very exciting!
