@bmanuel I'm feeling quite relieved to keep seeing other people also going to Cannes for the first time, me too! Are you in the international critics FB group? There's a thread on accommodation in there.

2026 is the year I finally make it to Cannes! Excited to be attending the fest for the first time; any recs and, more importantly, any housing leads (May 15-20).

@DavidZabinsky Hey, came across this thread of yours on George C. Parker, whom I'm researching for a project and I was wondering where you encountered that photo of his. I've been having trouble sourcing its origin. Thank you so much!

The Brooklyn Bridge was "sold" a staggering 4,160 different times between 1883 and 1928. The seller? George C. Parker, a con man of epic proportions. The story:

George C. Parker was an American con man best known for his surprisingly successful attempts to "sell" the Brooklyn Bridge. He made his living conducting illegal sales of property he did not own, often New York's public landmarks, to unwary immigrants.

I moderated a lovely chat yesterday for the @latimes Festival of Books! Despite a torrential downpour, people still showed up for queer Latine memoirs. Thanks to @bmanuel, @Vanessid and Edgar Gomez for telling their stories 🌹
