Cafe Candide

Caroline McCarthy '10 sends in some info about Cafe Candide at French Hall:

It's a big moment for a French House tradition... Café Candide turns 25. Come to French Hall, bottom floor of Nic 7, for a free night of delicious pastries, strong coffee, and live music. Special performance by Shoeless Joe and Baguette Brigade .com , the legendary Wes jazz trio of Jake Gold, Christian Komecki, and Eric Sherman. It's like a 60s coffeehouse--Serge Gainsbourg meets Flight of the Conchord's "Foux de Fafa."

Have no idea what any of that means? Not to worry, you'll still have a great time.

What: Cafe Candide
When: Friday, April 25 (tomorrow) 8pm

Where: French House, Nic 7 bottom floor

How much: Free Admission

Charles Lemert speaks at French House

French Hall is throwing a program tomorrow featuring a talk with Prof Charles Lemert, who will be speaking on "Durkheim's Ghosts: Why the French think the way they do." He'll discuss "French sociology, sociologists, social theory, and whatever else might strike his fancy." Given that this is Charles Lemert, it seems, in fact, fairly likely that something else will strike his fancy and he will ramble on interestingly for a while about something seemingly entirely unrelated (but he'll tie it back together in the end.)

There will also be food! There will be a home-cooked French bistro-style meal to accompany the conversation.

If you have any questions, contact Caroline McCarthy '10 at cmmccarthy@wes.

What: Conversation with Charles Lemert

Where: French Hall, Nic 7, bottom floor

(P.S. Don't forget that La Maison Française also continues to host French conversation hours every Friday from 5:30 to 6:30. All levels are welcome to join!)
