Back from Cannes, Off to America and Vegas
May 24, 2007 -- I had a great time in Cannes. I calculated that over the four days, I spent 26 hours in the saddle of my motorcycle. 8 hours there and back,
two hours a day to and from Cannes (one day it was four hours, two trips). It was great. We stayed outside of Cannes near the great little town of St. Paul-de-Vence and we got a chance to run in the town every morning, which was a fantastic experiecne.
Chopard, who is an official sponsor of the film festival and the designer and manufacturer of the Palm D'Or, gave me the behind the scenes view which will make for a great story for InSync. The film festival is quite a glamorous experience. I wonder how anyone gets any work done with all the partying and schmoozing that goes on.
On the last night I was in Cannes,
I met two of the producers of "Entourage," which was filming there. The Entourage boys were going to Cannes and they were faced with some real production challenges -- just shooting on the Croissette would be a nightmare because of all the people. I wish them the best and I am already looking forward to seeing episode. "Entourage" is one of the few shows I watch regularly (along with 24, Lost, NFL Primetime, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip). You would be surprised how many people go to Cannes just to try and see celebrities. There were people who brought lawn chairs and just sat next to the sidewalk all day, hoping to see someone.
I got so tired of the paparazzi chasing after me ("Hey! Aren't you that guy from InSync?") I had to leave. Ha!
Next up on the hit parade is a trip to Vegas for the JCK show. The InSync ride is the day before the JCK show opens and we've got a good crew of people riding -- I think about 15 in all -- and we are going to Oatman, AZ this year.
Should be fun!
