The second in an ongoing series of lively French Culture Nights is slated for November 18, 2009. "Starry Night" will sparkle with a dynamic array of emerging vocal and visual artists. "Great music and exciting art are even better in an environment where you can hold a conversation, meet people, and have a good time," says Enrique Gonzalez, founder of the French Culture Guide, and sponsor of the event. Each French Culture Night features a mix of performances and social time, in a casual but elegant setting. The November 18 event will take place at The Bubble Lounge (228 West Broadway), the Tribeca champagne mecca with a commitment to the arts. French-speakers of all backgrounds and levels are invited to attend, as is anyone who loves French culture. The admission fee of $10 in advance ($15 at the door) includes a free copy of the French Culture Guide.FEATURED PERFORMERS for November 18at The Bubble Lounge (228 West Broadway, Tribeca)Singer/songwriter Christine Capdeville will be your host• Josephine Ancelle, master of the romantic song (7-7:30 and 8:30-9pm)• Nicole Renauld, the "accordion fairy" (7:45pm)• Painting exhibit by Congo-born Ghislaine Sabiti• Movie preview of "Demain des l’aube", which will premiere at the In French Film Festival in December (8pm)• DJ Charlotte Balibar (starting at 9pm)VIDEO & PHOTOS OF OUR LAST EVENT: www.FrenchCultureNights.comABOUT THE HOT&COOL GROUPThe HOT&COOL Group produces neighborhood and cultural guides that highlight the people, places, and events that make life in New York so unique.

Are there any members on Staten Island? As I teach French here, it is not easy to get to Manhattan during the week. Je voudrais bien faire la connaissance des "Staten Islander francophiles!"
