Inspiration.

In less than a week my family will be in the states.
It makes me so happy.
Yesterday I slept all day.
So tired.
I´m in Austin.
I downloaded Beyonce´s album.
With videos.
AMAZING.
My friend did her hair a couple of weeks ago.
He said: "oh she´s been filming videos all around the world".
And I didn´t even think about it.
I thought, oh that´s just what she does.
And then boom.
Album out.
I watched her very naked and beautiful videos.
Then I went to the gym.
First time since the accident.

Ha!

Chanel.

I´m in Dallas.
Yesterday was pretty epic.
We went to see a runway show by Chanel.
My first ever fashion show.
I didn´t know what to think.
It was all inspired by Texas.
Pretty amazing.
As I am a fan of stars and stripes.
First there was a movie about Coco Chanel.
There was probably 40 old school american cars.
The runway show was built like an old barn.
Very american.
The whole after party was like an old country bar.
With line dancing.
We sat in the same table as.
Kristen Stewart.
Zoey Kravitz.
Dakota Fanning.
Lovely girls.
Even Karl Lagerfeld was there.
Amazing to see such a living legend.
Hot Chip performed.
And we said hi to their production manager.
Who we once had wine with in his hotel room in Brooklyn.
Very random.
I am very exhausted today.
And sad.
The dog chewed my shoes.
And did other damage.
And we have a show tonight.
Tomorrow we go to Houston.
5 shows.
And then it´s holiday time.

Also they published a photo I took of Nico.
In the Dallas Observer. 
They misquoted her.
So not the best article.

I hope life takes me where I´m supposed to go.
Don´t we all hope for that?
I guess so.

I have a thing for cars, have you noticed?
We passed a lot of abandoned and weird towns.
Buildings falling apart.
Abandoned gas stations.
Trailer houses.
So sad yet so aesthetically inspiring. 

And portraits in amazing scenery. 

Amazing roads. 

Hiding. 

Drive in viewing of the Coco Chanel movie by Karl Lagerfeld.

More shiny amazing cars.

Some random Chanel Cowboys, I had too.
And I had to wear my dirty overly worn Chanel gloves hah.

And finally... KARL!

Stars and stripes, all the way.

Casa Grande.

I'm somewhere in Arizona.

Apparently Casa Grande.

We left L.A. 

Back on the open road. 

2 of us.

And 3 dogs.

We decided to sleep.

After a 10 hour drive.

And this is where we ended up.

Tomorrow's destination. 

Roswell.

Maybe Ufo's capture us.

And realize they don't need us for nothing. 

We are heading towards Dallas.

5 shows to go.

Houston.

Austin.

New Orleans.

Pensacola.

Pensacola, have you even heard of that place?

I hadn't. 

Last nights cuddles.

Our magical garden in L.A.

Our amazing villa.

The view leaving "home".

Be back soon.

3:20am.

Sometimes you just do not wan´t to go to bed.
You just wan´t to enjoy those moments to yourself.
Do you have that?
No?
I guess you don´t.
But I guess your life is not work 24/7 either.
I met Of Monsters and Men today at the festival.
I love their overly folky music.
A little too much of "LAA-LAA-LAA".
Oh, Oh and "HEY-HEY-HEY".
And what else.
"OOOH-OOOH-OOH".
"And they´re so happy".
I had to tell them that their song "Love, Love, Love" made me cry.
It was a song that just reminded me of my friend.
(And we´re playing a lot of the same festivals as them)
Oh lord.
I´m so emotional now days.
Toughen up, girl.
Anyways.
I miss her.
And someone was amazingly waving the finnish flag.
In the audience.
In Texas.
No Finnish bands were playing.
I guess that´s what we do.
OR.
It was an american who thought it was the Icelandic flag.
Probably.
DISS.
Finnish sisu.
I think I finally understand the meaning of that.
I have it.

Otherwise I would have given up a long time ago. 

GOODNIGHT.
I fly to Miami tomorrow.

Maybe for a day. 

Stars & Stripes & Annikki. Getting sick of it?

Me & A birthday girl backstage
(never saw the festival area).

Saw this at Taco Bell.
Does that give you street cred?

FIREWORKS AT THE FESTIVAL!

The most amazing pizza box. 

SEE IT?!

I´m good at being messy. 

IGGY. Sorry the worst pic.
He rocked so hard someone had to basically carry him to the car.
He just laid down in the car and they took off his shoes for him.
Got to meet the Stooges though.


PS. DID YA´LL (TEXAS STYLE) GO HERE ALREADY?!
Thanks NYT-liite for mentioning me too. 

Don´t mess with Texas.

In Houston.
Last show today for this leg of the tour.
Tomorrow home.
Free Press Summer Festival.
Saw Iggy & The Stooges yesterday.
Heard Calvin Harris.

Video. Montevideo.

Hey.
I have been kind of slow on updating.
That happens.
Today is the last show in South America.
Uruguay, Montevideo.
It´s a beautiful place.
It´s been a rough couple of days.
Or last night.
Yesterday we flew in.
And the whole family went to a tiny little bar.
Stayed there for a long time.
Then an ice bar at the hotel.
Kind of felt like home in a weird way.
Enjoy the blurry pictures.
I am still kind of wondering why no one ever comments.
I guess there´s nothing to say.

Next up Nelsonville Festival in Ohio and Free Press Festival in Texas.

Santiago.
Got a Titanic feeling in the hotel. 

Flew over the Andes. 

KARL!

Statue in Montevideo. 

Montevideo.

Graveyard for slot machines at hotel.
We weren´t supposed to be in here.

View from my room at 8am.

Got a new ring, AGAIN.
Uruguay coin from the 80´s.
