Dry the River at the Bootleg

by
We went to see Dry the River play at the Bootleg Theater. I was lazy and didn’t bring my camera, but got to borrow my friends one.
Noah and the Megafauna was the opening act, they were really good!  

Marvelous Toy was the second bad out, they were pretty good as well.

Dry the River were ok. I find them kind of boring. I also think they need to take a shower.

Memorial Day

What do you do when you have nothing planned on a bonus day off? 
– You go to the beach!

Walk to Downtown Culver City

by
We only live about 2 miles away from Downtown Culver City and have always talked about taking the bus to downtown and then walk home, and stop by all the stores along the way home. We were finally gonna do it today!

As we were waiting for the bus, we changed our minds and thought it’d be a better idea to walk there and take the bus home, this way we could stop by the supermarket and wouldn’t have to carry all the groceries home.

We didn’t get very far on our walk – we had to stop by Cafe Brazil across the street for a drink before we felt ready!

Ready to go, one drink later!

Our second stop was after about 1 mile;  Joxer Daiy’s on the other side of the freeway.

We shared a pitcher and kept walking – I am so excited for the Copenhagen Pastry to open! When is it gonna open?

We made it to downtown and stopped by Rocco’s Tavern. We were all pretty full by this, but the bartender tricked us into ordering the large beers, it took us a while to finish them.

Silverlake Jubilee

by
We headed over to the Silverlake Jubilee for some music, food trucks and people watching.
It was a super small festival with only two stages, but not very well organized though, so you had no idea who was playing where and when.
The Maine Lobster Truck was there and it was delicious! 

Best food truck I’ve had so far!

Whiskey Tasting

by
Every now and then I come home late at night and my roommates are having whiskey tasting – makes me wish I liked whiskey.

Geographer and I Break Horses at the Echo

by
We went to see Geographer do an awesome set at the Echo.
As a bonus, we got to see I Break Horses from Sweden as well.

It’s a really cool band, but they are kind of boring live. I love this type of music, but I also don’t like to see this type of music live, as all they are doing is just standing there in backlight. I might as well just listen to the records. We were all tired so we went hope after a few songs.

Going Back to LA

by
It’s cool when I to go to Sweden, cos I get to go home to visit my family, and then I get to go home again when I go back to LA. 

I took the train from Katrineholm to Stockholm and saw this awesome prawn sandwich at the Stockholm Central Station. I felt I didnt have time to stop and get it as I had a connection to go to the airport. As I was sitting on the train waiting for it to depart I got more and more bummed at myself that I didnt stop to get it because it really did look awesome. The first thing I did as I had passed the security check at the airport was to get myself a open face prawn sandwich and a beer!

I had a connection flight in Chicago, they had put up a bunch of Star Spangled Banners in the American Airlines terminal – just in case you forgot which country you’re in!

Wedding Reception

by
It’s Saturday, everything is prepared and it’s time for a party!

Party favors!

Lina is preparing the last bit of the food;

Looks and tasted amazing!

Proud dad holding a speech for the couple;

Happy newlyweds;

This was probably the guest with the most punk attitude…
Wedding cake, delicious! 

Dandelions

by
I guess dandelions are considered a type of weed, but I think it’s beautiful! And in Sweden they’re called worm-roses, so yeah to me it’s a rose! 

How do you fight a jet lag and play with kids at the same time? -You lay on the grass and let the kids play with your camera!

I grew up with horses but have never been any good at taking photos of them. I always fails when it comes to angles and framing.

Sweden!

by
I made it all the way to Sweden and took the train to Katrineholm.
My mother and the kids picked me up at the train station. I was ready to start feasting on the Swedish delicatessen but the kids wanted to go to McDonalds… Yes, I traveled from America halfway around the world, and my first “meal” was at McDonalds!

But we went for ice cream after, that made me happy!

Our childhood friend has a catering business and my sister was there to help prepare the food for the wedding reception when I stopped by to surprise her!

They claimed to be working, but during the hour I was there, all they did was drinking coffee and chatting away. I did see they had prepared for the cake though… chocolate!
Rhubarb at my parents house! I wish I had rhubarb in my backyard as well.
Crayfish from the Swedish lakes for dinner, my favorite!
