i heart in May

1. Maailma kylässä -festari. The one and only place to be this weekend, and one of the only things i've had space in my life for recently; the office has become my second (sometimes first) home in the last months. (Currently writing this in the little bed i've made underneath my desk.) i love this job.
2. Fortune cookies. Kitschy and adorable. Bought some from Vii Voan on Hämeentie to cheer up the hardworking peeps at work. Deep insight along the lines of 'Charitable activities will stave off loneliness' goes down awesome in a group of sleep-deprived, hyperactive, semi-deranged festival producers.
3. Charley Harper. Birds, skulls, symmetry. 
4. My bike. Or Black Death, as i like to call him. This rickety wonder-vehicle takes me swiftly from Kaisaniemen puisto to our office in Töölö - a trek i've been making at least twice a day for the past week. Often with random festival site-bound equipment strapped precariously to the frame.
5. Beirut. I must have been living under a rock when this band showed up, cause i've only recently discovered it. Carnivalesque, obscure, merrily haunting music that's ideal for when you're writing.
6. Luau Tattoo. Saw Iris' sketch for my new tat today - it's gorgeous and i cannot wait to have it done.
7. Arcade Fire. And moreover, having gotten a ticket for the gig at Senaatintori at the end of June.
8. Nosturi's roof. That thing just slid open after the Endstand gig. I knew it could do that, but seeing it was something completely different.
9. The Hipstamatic app for the iPhone. Seeing life through a pseudo-artsy, old school lens; i love the feel this app gives photos. 
10. Peppermint tea. Cause hell, it's peppermint tea.
