Morocco Time

Some of you may have seen my posts on Yassin Ahjam here or here. The posts weren’t all that special, but the flurry of comments left by Yassin fans were another story.

Now, however, I may have something bien mieux, mes amis…a comment from Yassin himself! First, another photo of him, so you can properly imagine the face behind the words.

OK, I know this was probably written by someone doing publicity for him, or something even less thrilling…but I choose to believe this is a personal invite for me.

Here’s my invite in English…

HELLO. I am very happy with all these impressions of my work as a Moroccan actor. I hope to maintain the image that you have of me. Thank you very much.
I invite you on April 24 to SIDI BELIOUTE, in CASABLANCA,to attend the theatrical production that I directed, “GIPSY OF
MIDNIGHT.”

Well now, who’s going to attend this spectacle in my stead? I can hardly tell Hamou that I have to jet off to ????? ??????? to see a movie.
