Let's have fun!


Yesterday I attended a Flashmob (that is a "sudden mobilization") performed by Les Tistics, a group of young actors and comedians. They gathered near Beaubourg and started dancing in the middle of the crowd as if they just happened to be there all together! The funny part is that they danced to an English language hit ("I've got a feeling", by the Black Eyed Peas) that they litteraly translated into French. A good way for the passers-by to realize how shallow the words are... you can hear/see it for yourself here (thanks to Heather, who found this link and posted it in the comments box. You can even see me half a second at the very beginning of the video - in the pink shirt!).

    wow! they look like they are having fun! I wish I were there dancing with them.
    It wasn't that long ago when you couldn't turn on the radio or the tele without hearing this song being played-it was very popular in the U.S.

    I thought that was a cameo of you on the video. I love the guy who glides past it all on the scooter.

    I love how you were caputred in the video taking a picture from a different perspective than we are accustomed to you using. What was it that caught your eye and required a view from above?

    @Justine "What was it that caught your eye and required a view from above?" Nothing in particular really. I was just trying to grab something "different".
