Check out the Calendar!

DateSaturday, April 22, 2006

Don't miss all of the fun stuff I just added to the Calendar of Events, including Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry's, a fashion show and sale for a good cause, and the Belleville artists Open Atelier days coming in May.

And for the kind reader who asked for info on the Foire du Trone...don't bother! A horribly tacky and expensive carnival of the same head-spinning rides and games you'd find in any American city. Do you really have enough space in your Parisian studio for a giant stuffed panda?!!
