Happy New Year!
I suppose you could say he's my role model.
Barcelona Star Wars Procession
Seen Sunday on this Barcelona city tour. Paying people to mount ridiculous events to coincide with walks doesn't come cheap, but it's something we just have to do. Barcelona is full unemployable actors, and I spent ages trying to persuade various of their number that they could gain valuable paid experience dressing up as a [...]
