This is my sad attempt at being festive for the 14th of July, coming to you live...from Long Island. Total sad face. Perhaps I could have zipped back to Paris for the weekend, but since I fly stand-by where a seat isn't always guaranteed, and my consulate appointment is on Monday, heading to Europe for just 48 hours would be cutting it a bit close. Even for me.
So no festivities this year.
Having experienced several Bastille Day celebrations, luckily I know what it's all about, and the actual real disappointment is missing a wedding in Brittany that Séb and I were invited to. He, of course is still going and is doing a midnight dj set at the reception. A homemade flyer of him calling himself DJ David Ghetto, with his face Photoshopped to the body of Will.I.Am in a black pleather jumpsuit has been floating around Facebook this past week. My very own Mix Master Mike is very proud of his set, and will even pay a little homage to moi by including Lady Gaga's "Telephone" in his lineup.
Fun Fact: When I get drunk, I reenact the video. Beyoncé parts included. ("You've been a very bad girl, a very, very, bad, bad girl, Gaga." I can't help myself!)
While I couldn't be at the wedding, Séb is heading to Brittany with our card which has a little boosta from the both of us, as well as a special picture that explains exactly who is stopping me from leaving the States.
We didn't want to bore the soon-to-be newlyweds with my visa woes, so we figured this would be a much more entertaining story...
Here's to Rose and François' lovely wedding, and for those of you who are in France, enjoy the 14th, the fireworks, and please have a drink or two for me! Bisous!
What was happening a year ago today? Fireworks at the Eiffel Tower!
