Log> Sights> Ilosaari 2006

I've commenced the second module of my two-phase summer vacation. The kick-off was appropriately Ilosaarirock, the friendliest and most enjoyable of summer festivals in Finland in the good company of Juha and Joonas and dozens of other pleasant people. To crown the trip, we actually had a flat to stay in with the option of taking a real shower and sleeping on a mattress instead of just passing out in the grimy tent. I'm totally exhausted and will need to rehydrate for days but I'm all smiles.

I got to tick Saul Williams, Entombed and M.A.Numminen off my list of must-see acts, and was pleasantly surprised by Mokoma, Capleton, Blackalicious and a handful of Finnish reggae artists. How's that for variety? Here's some festival photos for y'all. Muah fire! Burn dem, burn, dem, burn dem.
