hoot! hoot!

i braved the ticket machine at lawson's convenience store [way more trouble than you'd think] and scored us tickets to this year's earth celebration on sado island. it's a kodo drumming festival which always has a super-talented, off-beat, somewhat obscure special guest who this year is carlos nunez. three days of percussion concerts, camping, playing on the beach and partying with friends from all over japan. i am thrilled! we'll catch the 2pm ferry tomorrow to the island. details to follow...
