Summer in SE Asia

I am back from touring for 2 weeks, vacationing for 1... and I'm finally starting to feel back to my normal self.  I had such a BLAST in Japan, S. Korea, and Taiwan.... I wanted to share a few photos with you:

JAPAN

My first week in Japan was filled with promo.  Here I am in Tower Records Shibuya, standing next to an old friend.  I try to come here every time I'm in Tokyo.

The other place I always try to stop if I have time:  
I come here for all my stationary, washi tape, and special handcrafted zakka needs!
This is me with Hiki, the owner.  She is one of my favorite blogger/photographer/graphic designers!
(She also has an online shop that ships internationally)

On to Fuji Rock...

Me with my Acoustic Guitar Magazine interviewer/writer.  I think I'm talking about how much I love Fuji Rock here.  ^^
Afterwards there was a signing session.  Thanks to everyone who bought CD's and came out to support!!!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by!  It was so great to meet you all!!  I'm sorry our time was so short!

The beautiful Olivia Ong sent this stunning bouquet to me for my show!  She is even sweeter than these delicious cherries!

Thank you to everyone who came to the show and stayed for the signing after!  It was such a treat to meet you all!  You're all so sweet -- I can't wait to come back!!
