Ready for Cannes

May 12

The first big adventure I’m posting here, is my trip to the Cannes Film Festival starting tomorrow morning. I was invited by Adobe USA to help at the American Pavillion, where they are located, during the festival. Check out their web site made for this year’s festival. I especially like the movie “Cannes-o-Ramma: Tales from the French Riviera” from the privious year emerging director award winner Melody Mayer. You can find that in the section “At the Theater”.

Now the adventure will already begin by getting there. I’m neither flying nor taking the train. I’m actually driving down there with my car that just passed the strict German inspections and the time consuming registration process. It’s a 1979 Fiat Spider that I bought a few years ago on ebay.com. I had it shipped from L.A. to Germany and then did many repairs to it, to actually be able to drive it legally on German soil. I still couldn’t drive it today, if it weren’t for my friend Daniel Winter, with whom I had in exciting road trip getting the car at the harbour in Bremen, my brother Martin, who got the car after the gear box destroyed itself on the travel from Bremen to Baveria. And especially my Dad, who I have spent many hours with fixing the baby and he actually did a lot of extra hours to get repairs done, I didn’t have time for myself.

Eventhough I got new rims, this is basically the car I will be driving for about 10 hours through 4 countries (Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France) until I arrive in Cannes. What will happen there is yet to come…

Here we go

Alright people.

So, as you can see, I decided to start a blog. Not just for the fun of it and to be trendy. Mainly because I don’t want to keep on bugging my friends on what I’m up to by sending spam to them. And hey, maybe these people who don’t care in the first place. Usually there is so much going on that I can’t keep up writing the emails anyway. So If you’re interested in what crazyness is happening at the moment, just subscribe the rss-feed or visit this site every once and a while. Whatever.

later.
