6 Days

So I don't have a whole lot a time because Pierre wants to get on after me and then I need to go get ready for the day, but overall the last 2 days of the Main Square went well. Yesterday was my favorite day as far as the music went. We started out with some hippie-like music from Michael Franti & Spearhead. Then moved on to Jusin Nozuka, who I really enjoyed. After that was Katy Perry! That was followed by Duffy, then Franz Ferdinand, who was probably my favorite group of the night. After they were finished, Lenny Kravitz took the stage, and last was Moby. Last night was even more packed than the first night with Coldplay. Between 25,000 and 30,000 people showed up. Over the course of the 4 days, there were about 85,000 spectators! So they had a pretty good turn out.

Today is going to be pretty busy itself. My going away party is tomorrow night and I don't know an exact number because I didn't do a good job of marking down who was coming, but I gave out 85 invitations and nearly everyone is showing up, plus some parents that I got to know really well, so we will see. I have not had time to plan anything, and I dunno what my host mom has put together, but she is not the most organized person in the world, so hopefully we can get things sorted out today and tomorrow morning. Although, this afternoon I was invited over to Laure and Claire's house from 2:30 to 6. Then, if the weather is decent, my host mom and I are supposed to have a hot air balloon ride tonight. I'm really looking forward to that, but I'm really nervous my party is going to suck since we've got nothingg so far and only 24 hours to get it all together.

I probably won't get on the computer tomorrow.
à mercredi!
