French toilets

Well well. The French are known for their classy fashion and food.. But who knew it would extend to design at festival toilets too. Here is the sink from the festival loos. Now admittedly, this is in the VIP area - but compared to the festivals back in the UK - this is dead posh. Oh la la :)

Hahah

I just swapped my Cardigan for this tshirt

Hello from us!

En Paris!

Thank you to the lovely winners Tanya and John for buying me this Parisian umbrella hat :)

Winners in Paris

Tanya doesn't like having her photo taken ;)

Chew lips in Paris

Playing now on the second stage here at Rock En Seine - Brits Chew Lips - wicked.

Salut!

Happy Saturday!

Blue skies here in Paris at 9am!

Bon nuit

It's been a great day here in Paris with plenty of culture, good music, nice people and great food. We are going to head off back to our hotel now to have a proper snooze - and prepare for another day of rocking tomorrow! Bon nuit xx

Stealth style!

Hiding from the rain with winner Tanya at the festival - hoods up!

Message to Twitter from Jack

Dan and Sam

Here are two english chaps (brothers) who I met on the metro (tube) earlier. They love Foals and are looking forward to 2manyDjs later on. Merci gentlemen for your company!

Skunk Anansie at Paris press conference

No idea

No idea what this chap is advertising - my French isn't good enough to understand - but he was happy to take a photo with me and his big smiley head.

What an amazing setting for a festival

Am currently stood next to a large tree in a park in Paris. Near me are paved walkways, stalls and stages... And this! Ladies and gents - Rock En Seine.

Rock... En seine!

Really is right EN SEINE

What a good name for a shop! ;)

Morning coffee

Yum.

This morning...

.. We will mostly be soaking up some Parisian culture at some of the finest galleries the city has on offer. My favourite is the Centre Pompidou. Voilà.

Bon matin!

Good morning from Paris! Myself and the winners went out for a nice local dinner last night and then got some needed rest (after our 5am wake up in the UK that morning). Today is ROCK EN SEINE and things will kick off at around 2pm this afternoon. Yee haa!

I'll be honest with you...


France can be a bit freaky. But in a good way. Most of the time. Using taxidermeed (is that a word?) foxes to advertise sunglasses is a little strange. But I guess they looked pretty happy with the arrangement... Seeing as THEY ARE DEAD!! Who thought this was a good idea?!?

Guess where we are...

Here's a subtle clue.. ;)

Hoorar!

Another Parisian landmark - check!
We have had a very productive day running around the streets of Paris being proper tourists! We three have all been here before - but it's been a long time since we have seen the sights. Weather update: warm and sticky.

Please can...

... Some generous rich member of the French royalty buy me this house? Thanks ever so much. Au revoir.

This week's winners!

Allow me to introduce you to John and Tanya - couple from Nottingham who have won flights, hotel and festival tickets to Rock en Seine!

Parisian view

Bonjour cliche

Myself and the winners are going up the Eiffel Tower!!

Woo woo!

Poster on the Paris metro for our festival! Yeah yeah!

Week 14 - in paris!

Week 14 of this marvellous international adventure has me in Paris for the awesome Rock En Seine festival. I have arrived in the French capital and will soon meet up with this weeks winners for un cafe et a walk around the city. First stop - local shop - to prove to you I'm in France! ;)

Sunday 22 August 2010

Uh oh

I've been informed via Twitter theres a "severe weather warning" for the region... It's been raining for hours now.. Eek! Watching clouds roll in as the 'sun' sets...

The couple that stripe together...

Striped stereotypes today include plenty of: convicts, Frenchmen, bumble bees, Dennis the menaces and Beetlejuice. Stripe for life.

Hi from a dirty field

:)

What did you do today?


"Oh ya know, painted stripes onto my trousers, picked up a toy tiger, went to a festival, hung out.... Ya know, the usual."
(you're my hero)

No stripes? No problem

Nothing that a bit of electrical tape won't fix. Good job Rigo and Daniel :)

Fishy feet

The fish are biting the dead skin off my feet and spitting it back out. Then someone else jumps in and they gnaw on their feet. Sounds like the worst job in the world to me. But they get paid handsomely and only have to work one day a week. (tickles so much I almost kicked them in the face).

Happy sunday!

Happy Sunday from winner Rigo and myself in the rain at the main arena watching The Slackers. Letting the stripe side down with my spotty brolly. Sorry Beautiful Days!

Ya get it..? Zebra crossing!! ;)

Fisherman's Friends

Not the breath mint - but the accapella man-band (boy band doesn't seem appropriate here) who have opened the main stage here at Beautiful Days. One of them has the best moustache I have ever seen.

Howard Marks


Good morning! Just had a nice chat with Howard Marks all about how to smuggle a dead dog into a festival. As you do. He's playing here later on - should be good! Video to come. Katie x

Sunday is stripes day!

Today's dressing theme is stripes :)
