The show was amazing, perfect, wonderful and special. I was so happy to finally see Bjork live in concert! She has been an inspiration for so many years, someone who is so creative, expressive, passionate, eccentric...it is funny because people compare me to Bjork and tease me about it...in looks, elfenness(groan), manner of expressing things, but best of all we apparently stick out tongues out when we are concentrating-which I have seen her do in interviews of photos. I saw a photo of her from the show with yes her tongue sticking out! yay! Bjork was phenomenal as were the musicians with such passion and intensity! Bjork truly is a great singer! Deer Lake Park was such a beautiful venue with the lake and setting sun behind the stage. You mentioned being able to see the audience because the sun was still shining. That is one thing I was wondering about as I was looking forward to the laser lights but knew earlier shows were done in darkness. But the further north you go the days are getting longer as the summer solstice approaches. The sun set at 9 pm that night. the laser lights were still great fun and my husband got some video of the final songs with the lights just frantic and brilliant! I am so glad the weather cooperated as all the Vancouver/west coast fans know what Vancouver can really be like. Rain had been forecast so we had brought our raingear to Vancouver just in case. But you brought the sun with you! The belugas at the Vancouver Aquarium are sooo beautiful and funny. They are so smart too. They don't have to do tricks like the dolphins. They just swim around, bounce a few balls on their heads and get free food! Once Aurora spat at my sister and me and she seemed to be laughing. Next time Bjork and co comes this way they should go to Tofino and see whales in the ocean! I saw a humpback a few weeks ago swimming up the Georgia strait! Safe travels home and have a great summer of festivals! ~heather Hi Jonas, please express my thanks and gratitude to you, Bjork and everyone for coming to Vancouver.

You did an excellent job. I particularly like what you add to Bachelorette. You give it something I didn't even know was missing! Seeing all those Icelanders and hearing Einar's ridiculously thick Icelandic accent totally made me miss Iceland. I've just moved back to Canada and it's so different here. But it was so nice to have a little chunk of Iceland in Vancouver, if just for a day. Enjoy the rest of the tour and "Frasier city"! (I wonder if you can find that actual coffee shop somewhere...that might be fun). Hi, I just wanted to stop by and tell you that the Vancouver concert was absolutely awesome.

Though the best park (the james brown ride) is no longer there I think =/ 3)While you are in seattle check out the pike place market, and eat some steamed clams down on the piers!! OMG THEY ARE SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4)Hitchhikers guide is a great flippin book! The movie is actually not terrible, it is just a case of bad lighting and a terrible job by the make up artist on zaphod's extra head. It can be distracting.. stick with the first 30 minutes, and you may adjust and at least find some enjoyment. However, by no means does it rival the books, simply because it would have to be 10 hours long to come even close ;)\ 5) Sacramento river whales? I had no idea. Perhaps play some friendly whale sounds at the mouth of the river to show them the way. or maybe some trained fresh water dolphins (yes there is such a thing) could guide them out. 7-11) See you at the Gorge in George, You Are Going To Love It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Us Washintonians are like the Icelandics of the US. We are the closest state to Alaska after all. We play in the rain, and invite the snow. Summers are usually warm and humid, but beautiful, because nature spent all winter watering the place. Though where the show in the gorge is, it is a bit more dry. Some time when you have time and are in Washington again, explore the areas between Seattle and Vancouver, Canada, and take the ferry boats through the islands, I think you will feel like you are home, but while you were away someone mysteriously planted all these giant tree's and ferns everywhere ; P It is the land where dinosaurs could still roam, and snack on bigfoot (sasquatch) ocassionaly Enjoy the Emerald city, and see you at George, Todd 1) Vancouver is a great town, but beware of the crack heads outside the after hours clubs ;)
