As with many American conventions, there's a bit of a news lull about 24 hours into the Festival International de la BD Angouleme as several folks are still settling in for a big weekend, the prizes and the like have yet to gear up, and non-traditional reporting has to wait for most of its agents to return home. There's still some interesting stuff out there.
* This video shows a lot of the buildings, some of the set up, and a lot of generally attractive French comics and festival folks. Plus, great artists drawing.
* finally, it looks like the Festival itself has quite the classy, first-day video report up, or at least there's one up it seems like they're endorsing. It looks like those will be assembled here. I enjoyed watching it.
