After a two weeks long sailing trip in Croatia and two weeks in Austria, I’m now back in Stockholm. I’m gonna put together some pictures from these four weeks and report a little about it eventually.

During the trip I got the notice that I’ve been accepted to the Music University of Vienna, which means that I’m moving there for an exchange year that starts the 1st of October. I’m gonna stay in Sweden to the end of September. It’s really exciting to move there and live together with Julia, but at the same time a bit scary; leaving all friends, bands and things like that for something you don’t know how it’s gonna be. But it will probably be alright, I hope I find some nice people to play with there as well!

Yesterday me and some friends went to see The Simpsons Movie, it was great! They have really succeeded making a stand-alone movie that stands out from the series but still with the Simpsons-felling intact, and most important: It was hillarious! As a nerdy saxophone player I couldn’t resist reflecting over if Lisa’s tenor sax usually sounds like a baritone sax in the theme song, but in the movie it sounded like a tenor sax. I think.

I found a funny page, simpsonizeme.com, where you can upload a photo and see how yourself would look as a Simpson character. To the left you can see how I would look.

For the computer interested I can tell you that now when I’m home I have started to rebuild my page a bit. I’m trying to build it completely in Wordpress, which is the platform this blog is based upon. I’m doing this to be able to easier maintain and update the page where ever I’m located in the world, and to get rid of all separate scripts for every different function on the page. More precisely to gather everything in one place. We’ll see how it goes.

I’m a bit nervous about going to school and practice, I have hardly played for a month now and now how hard it’s gonna be to start again. But now it’s time to get going again, gigs are coming up.

I’m finishing this post off with a video from Fabulous Five’s gig at Fasching in May, a concert that will be broadcasted in Swedish Radio P2 this autumn. Unfortunately I’m not too pleased with my own playing in the video, but if you cover your ears during the saxophone solo, you can always enjoy the rest. Or something.
