Those wacky french and their cute sailor outfits!

Eddie White: you’re in France…and you’re eating what? Merde?
At least Plympton knows how to live.

tim’s level of happiness always correlates positively with the number of buttons undone on his shirt

ha in my defence, I had eaten baguettes etc all day and needed a quick snack before our dinner later that night… so yes it is merde, but only a once off

No need to apologize Eddie–I was just being nasty. IIRC the snacks in France and the UK are actually good. Especially the ones in those little chips bags. ; )
It’s here in the US where you’re killing yourself at twice the speed just touching that stuff.

Eddie: Crisps aprés baguettes? Beaucoup de carbohydrates, mon ami! What you need is some good saucisson!

Great to see a shot of Cordell, can’t wait to get a glimpse of his new film…it’s been way too long.

Yay, these are awesome pictures!! I had the most amazing time at Annecy!

One of the people I had the pleasure of meeting was Signe- she’s really great!! Not only was her film “Birth” in competition at Annecy, but she also won the Golden Bone award at the Annecy Plus screening put on by Bill Plympton and Nancy Denney-Phelps.

Great to meet you, Amid, looks like you had a blast too!! :)
