Setting Up for the TriBeca Film Fest
A lot of my life is just like yours – fairly routine. Regular meetings, regular obligations, regular trips to the market to keep my family in food, meal preparations, etc.
Lately, even my mother commented I’ve been eating out a lot. No! No! It’s not true!
We do eat out a couple times a week. I don’t always take photos because many of the places we eat, we have already reviewed at least once.
When guests come to town, we often eat out a little more because we are on the go.
And so like during one trip, I can take photos for a number of different posts. One trip to Souq al Waqif and I have mermaid fabric photos, a restaurant review, a photo of the new tower, maybe a few shots for the school calendar, some traffic revision shots upon leaving – see what I mean? It’s not like I am eating out all the time, but when we go someplace new or when I need something to blog about, I dig them out.
This is one of those “just one more thing” shots – they are setting up at both the Museum of Islamic Arts and at the Souq al Waqif for the upcoming Tribeca Film Fest. They say Robert de Niro will be here (Wooo HOOOOOO!) There is a lot of excitement building, and I can understand – they are going to a lot of trouble to make sure it is a BIG deal.

It’s going to be raining film in Doha. I envy you! Send across a slice of world cinema to Kuwait which sadly, is still barren for art house cinema, books and most things; cultural and with an international twist: indeed, a sad state of affairs for a super rich nation as this.
It is, BL, it is going to be fabulously raining here. There are all kinds of things going on – the Think Pink walk, TriBeca starting up, a big Reach Out To Asia benefit – whew! It’s all in one weekend!
Concept of “Think Pink walk” sounds interesting. Here they are having a ” I am going Pink campaign” all over the place.
Didn’t expect so many people to come out and all at once. It’s a good thing to see the GLBT crowd garnering the kind of support and encouragement which they have been doing first, in Kuwait and now in Qatar.

LLLOOOLLL, BL, Think Pink is the Breast Cancer Awareness movement. Maybe it is just the US, but I think the gay movement uses a rainbow! No, I don’t see major marches happening either in Qatar or Kuwait any time soon. But isn’t it nice to have a film festival? It’s a start!
