Natalie, sans h.: lille 2004 fête final pictures

ok...here are the pics from the lille 2004 fête final...i'm only a week late posting them!!! the night was pretty cool...about 30 assistants all met up a the musee des beaux arts to watch the parade together...obviously, a group that big was impossible to keep together, and we dwindled down to about dozen in about 20 minutes...the parade was a bit disappointing, but the giraffe puppets were incredible...i don't think i've ever been as cold as i was that night...we watched the parade and then went to aarons to warm up (of course stopping for a kebab along the way)...later a few of us ventured out to see the dancing...but by that point there were too many obnoxious drunk guys on the street so we ended up at a dance club instead...anyways...on to the photos...

assistants freezing their asses off waiting for the parade to start... sarah, andrew (another austinite!!!), suzie, some girl whose name i cant remember, john-leo, tym and aaron...yes, it is legal to drink in the street...however, one of us did get harassed by the cops that night...one of the english assistants rolls her own cigarettes and she accidentally dropped her bag of filters on the ground in front of les flics...they thought they were pills so they searched her...nice, huh?
