happy boys day! or soon to be anyway.

my uncle and i went to take grandpa to a nearby park to see the giant flying fish. i don't know if he cared much but they looked very cool.

most importantly, time for a drink and a snack!

grandpa, you're looking the wrong way!

check it!

the flower garden in the park was also very nice. great tulips! too bad i forgot my camera and had to make do with the shit quality on my ipod.

wish it were sunny!

FAC51: The Hacienda Music Festival in Oiso

"it's not a rave. i prefer to call them dance parties." OK, D.

we went allllllll the way down to Oiso to check out this music festival that aarif hooked us up with discount tickets for. D and i were a tad iffy from our respective drinking events the day before but a bit of fresh air and some food and were were good to go.

mr. kasai spent pretty much the whole time trying to get the damn giant bubble thing to work. he was very envious of this other guy who had people flocking to him like the pied piper:
