Peter, Bjorn & John @ Ubu Club

On the same day of my eventful visit to the Marché des Lices, I went to an indie rock concert.  I was super excited, because I normally don't go out and see live music a lot back home.  Also, I was glad to actually have something to do on a Saturday night other than work my way through entire DVDs of Mystery Science Theater 3000.  I went to the concert with Kathryn, whom I had also gone with to the Marché that morning.  The concert was at the Ubu Club, which, according to some people at the concert, is the "coolest" place to go in Rennes.  It seemed like a pretty nice venue to be sure, but it was certainly smaller than I expected.

Marché des Lices

There is an area of Rennes called Les Lices, meaning "lists", or something.  Although if you put lices  into google translate, you get "bitches".  I don't know what that's about, because to my knowledge salope meant bitch.  Every Saturday in Les Lices there is La Marché des Lices, where they remove all the cars from the street and open up these two big buildings, which as far as I can tell, are only used this one time during the week.  Apparently, La Marché des Lices is the third-largest open-air market in France.  That means lots of stuff to see, taste, and take pictures of.

A Grand Day Out to Thabor

So one Monday I awoke at the crack of 9:15. This would have been fine, had my design graphique class not started at 9:00. Not one to waste an opportunity, I promptly went back to sleep. Upon awaking for the second time, I decided that the day should not be a complete waste. For my dessin/peinture class on Tuesday, I had some kind of assignment where I was supposed to go to a garden or park or something. I'm never really sure what that guy is ever talking about; he talks way too fast. But nevertheless, I'm pretty sure he wanted us to draw something having to do with gardens. Probably.
