9: (partial) Cast List

I figure now’s a good time to introduce a (partial) cast list–obviously that would’ve been helpful at the beginning of the play, but this is live, improvised theater. You never know when new characters are gunna pop up!
First, of course, we have the Davidson in Tours group. This is many of us at a club (that also was a burger shack: bobochic, bobochoque as the french say (bobo=bourgeois/boheme, basically hipster))IMG_1891.jpg

Then, bien sur, the incorrigible Danny Brooks Lessig, known by some as Cyril Figus, a wanted man in 3 Pennsylvania counties, my sigep brother and Paris roommate IMG_1861.jpg

Here is my prof at the Alliance Francaise, Mme Pederos. She is kind enough to tolerate my humor and sarcastic enough to put me in my place IMG_2012.jpg

And speaking of the AF, these are Cam’s my (Cam is the only non-Davidson in my group) international friends–we grab food and eat lunch with them in the Luxembourg gardens after class (I genuinely can’t understand this, but most of the Davidson kids just eat in the cafeteria with other Davidson kids). From left to right we have the lovely Swiss (german speaking) couple Tobias and Steffii, the bawdy brits Becky and Adam, and Cam himself IMG_2006.jpg

I suppose a picture of Cam’s face is necessary, so here is me, Cam, and the bartender from the FIAP we befriended, Baptiste. Baptiste is one of the nicest, coolest, funniest people I know, and the best time I’ve had in Paris was without a doubt last night, when he was kind enough to take us out and introduce us to his friendsIMG_2016.jpg
Also deserving shoutouts are Abdel, Mina, Serge, Wiçal, and Bruno, all awesome frenchies working at the FIAP

But da real MVP of the FIAP is, sans doute, Charlie: IMG_1988.jpg

Here is the incomparable Kevin, our daring group leader. He knows everything about everything, showed me the workout park where everyone greets everyone, and protects us from 12-year-old pickpocket girls.

Finally, the most important are the two incredible people who created me, raised me to be the often upstanding citizen I often am, and commissioned this play by making my semester abroad possible. M&D sending me off at the airport:IMG_1905.jpgIMG_1839.jpg

Hi! Sorry it has been a while since I last updated. I’ve been in Tours a couple of weeks now, and have just been super busy. And, of course, the longer I put it off, the more stuff goes on the list… I’m living in the home of the lovely... Continue →
