Gone Fishin

Sunday Nathan and I wanted to find a new place to fish where we could take Bella with us. She loves the ocean and lakes (hates the pool) and I knew she would have a riot. We had a lot of bites, but no luck catching something we could eat. We caught some catfish, and a stingray. Better luck next time I guess...we were using squid for bait, typically we use shrimp.






Here's Bella in all her glory, getting the chance to dig.

Mark Ronson at Razz


Last friday I went to Razz with Vic and Esther for the pre-SOS Festival party. Mark Ronson was doing a dj set and it was really amazing and funny... we danced like crazy bitches, hahaha!




We started the night at Dixie, a pub near Razmatazz in wich we waited for Eric and his friend Gero. Dixie is a nice place. 

After waiting for Eric, we went into Razz. The first surprise of the night was that the first dj had this GORGEOUS t-shirt... Crystal Castles ftw!

 
 
 Eric & me doing the numb...
 

After drinking and dancing a little bit, Mark Ronson was on the stage! He did a great dj session, very very funny... you couldn't stop dancing!
 
 

So, a great friday night!
