I hope my friend Roland Celette, Director of La Maison the French Cultural arm of the Embassy in Washington won't be upset for my publicizing his event- If I didn't have to work all night here is where I would be.
He sent me this email (with 2,000 of his other closest friends)
Dear Lovers of La Maison Française,
The French-American Cultural Foundation, Roche-Bobois and Capitol File are proud to invite you to a very special event: La Saint-Valentin!
On the most romantic day of the year, we are pleased to welcome you to an unforgettable soirée!
