Summerfest and 4th of July
Thursday there was a long and huge firework (Milwaukee celebrates the fireworks on July 3rd) and I took some shots from the mcKinley marina pier - it lasted for more than 50 minutes, boats on the lake and LOTS of people around the lakefront. It was a cool experience (last year it was raining cats and dogs while the fireworks started, so much better this time)!
Went to summerfest yesterday and enjoyed Skyler Stonestreet, a singer-songwriter fom Santa Barbara, Goldfinger and finally Seether. I especially enjoyed Goldfinger, their show was hilarious, well done and the people were cheering; at some point the band asked people to enter the stage to sing with them and there were at least 50 people dancing and singing and having fun up there…
The lead singer threw his guitar into the crowd after the concert (and the drummer got arrested ;)
A week surfing at Cape Hatteras
Wow - I just came back from 6 days at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Went there with 3 good friends for kiteboarding, surfing and we really did get some riding: wind every single day (15-30 mph, varying from day to day), water temperatures in the mid 80s.. huge (but ‘definitively rideable‘) waves on the ocean side, shallow water on the sound’s side (you can literally walk for miles through the water there) - it was simply great! (if you ever go to Buxton, visit the small local bakery ‘Orange Blossom’ to get an ‘Apple Ugly‘- it really looks like but it is delicious…)
Last day we went to a presentation of Cabrinha’s new 2008 kites, featured by pro rider Damien Leroy at kittyhawk kiteboarding, was fun to ride next to some really good kiters.
Now? back to work.
p.s.: there are some more shots online here.
