i love when you kiss me

saw camera obscura for the third time at the cradle last saturday.  anni rossi opened.  and she was absolutely lovely.  she stood on a vintage suit case and stomped on it for percussion.  and her voice was beautiful and she did incredible things with her violin.


and of course camera played an amazing set.





julie and i both got set lists... of course.






wonderful little show.

and tomorrow we go to see the plastiscines and loads of others in the nylon summer music tour!  we are making a day out of it and i can't wait!

it was a wonderful trip.  my impressions of portland include: coffee, happy hour, cigarettes ( as in these are the favorite activities of the locals).  um yeah, that's about it.
and when i came home... this was waiting for me!  from the lovely willow ships, this is the most wonderful thing i have ever received in the mail.
so thank you.  :)

summer is totally underway.  i just hope summer things come with it.
