I'm still alive... but...

Sorry, I disappeared from the blogosphere ... I've been sooooo busy !!!

On Monday, I was "closing" Gary's tour's file ! Two gigs booked, posters done, event created and invitations almost sent... I just needed news from the supporting band for the second night. 

On a email, Gary told me that the gig he had the thursday night in Glasgow was cancelled, so he was able to play a third night in France... I reopened the filed to try to find a third gig...

The same day, I was dealing for Josh's tour... The Monday night, I had the last confirmation from the venue : Josh Beech and the Johns live @ l'International (Paris) on October 11th ! Only one gig. Wonderful, but soooooo sad for me ! Because it's so many hours of work for just few hours with the boys ! 

On Tuesday, Jack was supposed to send me pictures for the poster... The morning, nothing, it let me checking what I had...

Problem is that I don't have a lot of good pictures of Josh, and for posters, you have to use pictures in high definition : the pictures I like are in very very bad definitions. The only one I have in high def is the one I used last time... And I don't want to use it !

The afternoon, Jack sent me all the details I needed for the posters, and pictures from Sofi de la Torre who's touring with Josh in October. I was able to create the first version.

On Wednesday, I sent the version I made to Jack, and it was the beginning of the end ! I turned off my laptop at 01:00AM, after 13 versions of the poster ! No inspiration for me, and no idea for him... Bad pictures, sooo hard. We tried a lot of things, had a good moment on Skype, but no poster.

On Thursday morning, I had a job interview in Paris for a hugeeeee promoter. Somebody in the team is quitting soon, and so, in September they will be looking for somebody. Because I applied for another job, they have my résumé. Because I really need a job, I sent it again. I met the guy Thursday morning, and it was wonderful. I have to call them back in September. And I will, because, as you know, I have gigs in September, and the gigs help me to meet people, soooo....

Thursday afternoon, I was back on Photoshop. Sent other versions to Jack. And, late afternoon, he told me that finally, his favourite was the 4th one. He sent it to Sofi's manager, and later, I left home for a girls' night with Pauline. 

Her birthday is on August 5th, middle of holidays, and because she will turn 25, I choose a crazy gift, because it's Pauline. But, sorry, it's sooo crazy that I won't tell you what it is; the only clue I can give you is that there are 2 awful CDs, one teenage book and a good one with wonderful recipes for cupcakes/muffins/cookies.... !!

I went back home around 3:00AM after a crazy night. Julie came later during the evening, we spent 2 or 3 hours gossiping about boys like we were 14 !! It was wonderful, and both told me "what are you waiting for, you have to date him !" Thank you girls !!

On Friday, the day was hard ! It was the last day of "work". I sent the last invitations for Josh's gig, and middle of the afternoon Jack sent me an email "do you think you can try 2 or 3 other versions of the poster, cuz the manager is not sure about it." Of course, Jack left early that day for his well-deserved-holidays, he has no internet, I don't know what the manager doesn't like in the poster, I was terribly tired, and a little bit angry because of the email. The deadline for the poster was supposed to be August 15th, I said no cuz I'm in holidays until August 18th, I'm in Italy for a crazy trip, and I don't want to take my laptop with me. Jack suggested August 18th, and then August 20th.

He will come back before me, and I think that I may leave with a copy of the files on a USB card, just in case...

Today is week-end. I enjoyed waking up late, take my time for the breakfast and book. Now it's 19:48, I'm trying to think about my luggages. We are leaving on Monday morning for 18 days in Italy : Aoste, Lake Guarda and Venice. We're gonna see sooooo many things !!! I can't wait ! 

Because the sun and summer weather are back today, I went biking in Versailles' Park, I'm back since an hour, but I'm sooooo tired !!!

I'm sorry, I can't post you the millions of versions of the poster, cuz we don't have the good one, but, because it's Saturday evening, I can post the new Sunday Stealing !

1. Movie you love with a passion.

Favourite movie all time is Lock, Stock and Two Smocking Barrels, but a movie I love with a passion would be Penelope. I love love love it !!

2. Movie you vow to never watch.

I say NO, and finally watch the first one, so, I vow to never watch the other Twilight movies ! NO WAY !!

3. Movie that literally left you speechless.
Hum... American History X or the Quebecois movie C.R.A.Z.Y

4. Movie you always recommend.
Guy Ritchie's movie.

5. Actor/actress you always watch, no matter how crappy the movie.
Ryan Gosling... He's hot, and talented. Don't care if the movie is a crappy one... (tbh, I don't remember a crappy one with him !)

6. Actor/actress you don’t get the appeal for. 

talent or physic or ?

7. Actor/actress, living or dead, you’d love to meet.
Ryan Gosling ? No, I'm kidding. 

Maybe Johnny Depp, cuz he's incredible ! Or Tommy Flanagang cuz, I'm sure he's a great guy, and he's Scottish !

To pick an actress, probably Cate Blanchett, cuz I love her ! Or Audrey Hepburn !

8. Sexiest actor/actress you’ve seen. (Picture required!)
Well... You know my friends Charlotte and Pauline. We can have crazy games. The last one was to create fake facebooks (ok, sometimes we're nuts, I admit it). My fake one is a girl name Beverly Colline. Many hours later, I realized I made a joke in the name, cuz Colline is the french word for Hills. Anyway. 

Beverly Colline likes, no, loves, hot men, and right now, she has around 10 husbands. Her favourite is still Juice from SOA (not Theo Rossi, but yes, his character !) And so, all her husbands are the actors (and musicians) I love cuz I think they are hot. 

Here is the link to the album (sorry, all the jokes are in French !)

Right now, the sexiest is ... no. Can't choose... Hesitating between Ryan Gosling, Theo Rossi, James McAvoy and Scott Caan...

9. Dream cast.
One of them (with a special mention for Ryan, of course) and with also actress like Evan Rachel Wood or Ellen Page, the wonderful Maggie Smith, and Anthony Hopkins...

Directed by, Guy Ritchie ?

Dream cast that exists, I pick Monty Python or the great British actors with Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant...

10. Favorite actor pairing.
One I really really enjoyed was Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor for I Love You Philipp Morris. 

Still with Ewan McGregor, with Colin Farrell for Cassandra's Dream.

And with Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson for In Bruges. 

11. Favourite movie setting.

Hard. Paris or New York...

12. Favourite decade for movies.
There are very good movies in all decades !

13. Chick flick or action movie ?
Well... Don't know... I like all kind of movies except horror and western... Just need a good script and good actors.

14. Hero, villain or anti-hero ?
Probably anti-hero...

15. Black and white or colour ?

Both.

And now, dinner time, movie, and bed !

xx

If I don't see ya, enjoy your summer. I won't post in Italy, I'll be back on August 18th !
