viva la france

with the upcoming bastille day fetes taking place this weekend, i thought i would mention a few other frenchie events going on as well as a great little french restaurant for you to check out.

this saturday night at vinideus, french chanteuse sophie delmas will be performing. i'm not familiar with her music but i'm always looking to hear new music so i thought i would go check her out. vinideus 4759 ne fremont

another event taking place this weekend is the showing of the agnes varda film "cleo from five to seven".

  1. Hey there H.G.
    Thanks for the great week-end ideas.
    My weekend was beginning to sound like it was going to be another one of those same ol boring,un-enthused dribble drabbles I have become so use to.
    Kudos to whom ever you are.
