Festival of Nations

The Festival of Nations in Tower Grove Park is one of the best events of the year.  Something so unique and special, showcasing cultures all around the world.  Indulging in rich baklava from Greece and spicy curry from India, drinking straight from a coconut... it doesn't get much better.  The music, the shops- offering one-of-a-kind trinkets and handmade clothing and more- the people, it all comes together for a magical day.  And sometimes it's the little details, the random moments captured that are the best, as seen in these snaps.  Some goofy, some totally caught off guard, and some blurred to perfection.  It's the people you're with, the entanglement of cultures all in one venue, the heat still letting us hold on to summer for a bit longer that truly makes it wonderful.  Enjoy these pics and have an even better Labor Day ya doofs!

August Tunes

Once again, we've got a combination of tunes for ya that we've been humming to for the last month!  Discovering new music is the best thing, and some of these artists are old favorites that we can't stop jamming to.  One of my recent obsessions is City of the Sun, an instrumental group from New York City, that amazes me.  They play at smaller events in Montauk and do sets in Central Park.  They are the epitome of cool, and their sound blows me away with its intricacy.  The Chillness of Spazzkid has been getting me through the days, keeping me relaxed in the craziness that is the end of summer.  FKA twigs brings such a strong, moody, intense vibe and I love it.  And once again, we CANNOT get over Sylvan Esso!!! Each and every song is incredible through and through, and we can't get enough.  So there you are, our August tunes.  Not a lot, but a good group of artists that you should definitely check out!
