jisan valley, you rock. oh, and so do you VACATION!

jisan valley rock festival was last weekend. we spent an amazing hot and sunny sunday with a handful of korean and japanese bands, patti smith, jet, oasis, and, of course, our long-lost kiwi friends mark and bridget. the weather was gorgeous (finally !!!) and the beer was a-flowing. i made 7 what-i-thought-were-epic oasis videos and all you can hear is me singing. oh well.

mark's sister alicya has safely arrived for a two-week visit and we are really excited to play hosts. also, as of today, we're on a five-day holiday, and we've got tickets for an early morning bus to a beach on the east coast. i've never been more ready to lounge and work on my tan burn; my fingers are crossed for monsoon-free weather as i'm eager to put my 50+ sunscreen to use. we're also loaded up with all the vacation must haves from canada courtesy of ali: twizzlers, swedish berries, a stack of books and gossip magazines.

in the meantime, you can enjoy the select few rock festival pics, below. "see you" next week!
