Tomorrow is the first day of the Hove Festival, at Hove just outside of Arendal. The previous years I have only had day passes for one or two days, but this year I will be there all four days! I’ve managed to steal the house from my parents, who are living in Arendal and will enjoy the comfort there – I am not really much of a camping person, hence we’re not bringing a tent with us for our Europe trip either!

So, tomorrow I am heading to Arendal and Hove for the first concert at 16:30. This year’s big must-see (and hear!) on my part is The Killers on Tuesday. There are lots of great bands this year, though, so I won’t have any problem filling the days with great music. On my top list are:

• Montée
• White Lies
• Franz Ferdinand
• Hockey
• Ratatat
• Casiokids
• Little Boots
• Faith No More
• M83
• Prodigy

Looking forward to my first week of vacation this year – spending it in the sun drinking beer and listening to music Then it’s back to one week of work before Aleksander and I head off to France, Spain and Italy for four weeks.

On Friday we had our Summer party with Integrasco. What a blast! It turned out a great evening with lots of good food, lots to drink, a good game of Kubb and generally just a great party – Integrasco style!

Here’s a couple of pictures from the party As the social media addicts that we are, we of course had our own Twitter hash-tag for the event
