Francois, "J'veux pu m'droguer" - a little movie by HELENE LACELLE

                                                                                                                                                                        

I met Francois doing laundry at Lava Java on Henderson St. last Sunday morning. I gave him 2 loonies for his toonie and he gave me a .25 cents tip.  He told me his girlfriend was still at the hotel sleeping and that in 16 months she would have her divorce. He was hoping to have his album ready soon so that he can sell it for $10 and start making money.
He asked if there was any cheap apartments in Sandy Hill and I told him to go look in Vanier where the people are much nicer and apartments much cheaper. Then he went to the depaneur to buy a
chocolate milk. He dropped it and spilt half of it on the sidewalk and apologized to me for making a mess.
