    Happy 4th of July: FOK Edition

    With Fourth of July just around the corner, we’re officially in vacation mode (sorry Friday afternoon work, it’s just not going to happen). We’re kindly reminded of what America stands for this weekend–life, liberty, and the pursuit of a fantastic cocktail. But we’re Swedish, so what do we know?

    Since it’s the perfect opportunity to get away, we’re doing just that and heading out East. We’ll be sipping on cocktails in Montauk all weekend with some very important FOKs. (And FYI-you should come hang out with us at Shark Attack Soundz Saturday night!) One of our favorite parts about the ultimate summer holiday weekend is finding out what our FOKs are up to–because if it’s something fun, we’re totally inviting ourselves. 

    Take a peek at what some of our beloved Friends of Kanon have planned in celebration of the country’s independence. And make sure to enjoy the weather and cocktails. Happy Fourth! 

    Krystal Simpson of What Is Reality Anyway
    "My best friends and I rented a beach house for a 4th of July long-weekend mini-vacation, and we're going to relax with our feet in the sand, barbeque, and watch the fireworks over the bay."

    Bryanboy
    "I'm spending July 4th in India with my beloved boyfriend. It's our first year anniversary and thought we'd go somewhere mystic and exotic. I love going to a place different than my usual environment to be inspired."

    Alexander Klein
    "I wish I had tales of sexual exoticism, but in truth my summer holidays revolve around reading books, swimming, and drinking an evil beverage or two."

    Leandra Medine     of The Man Repeller
    "I plan to spend the holiday on the beach in Southampton wearing stars and stripes. Lots of stars and stripes."

    Peter Miszuk
    "So on July 2nd, I am DJing a party for anyone stuck in the city still on Saturday at Madame Wong's. Then Sunday I am driving to MTK to camp in a friend's backyard–as I have been wanting to go camping forever, and this is sort of like camping-lite. Then I will spend my 4th at SL East."

    "I'll be spending a rather unpatriotic July 4th in London. But I'll be singing our National Anthem over my plate of fish 'n' chips, I swear!"

    Erica Chan Coffman and Lauren Kolodny of Honestly WTF
    Erica: "I'm off to my family's ranch for the weekend, where I'll be jumping off rocks into the clear waters of the Yuba River, swimming, and soaking up the sun!"

    Lauren: "You'll find me right outside my front door at the beach and teaching my bulldog how to skateboard!"

    If we told you we’ve stopped talking about Midsummer, we’d be lying. Like kids after their first trip to Disneyland, we can’t help but point out every amazing detail or delicious memory we accrued. Truthfully, it was the most fun we’ve had in a long time (and that is saying A LOT), and we feel super lucky to have spent Friday with an abundance of tasty cocktails, floral crowns, rocking tunes and some of our favorite people. 

    Even more lucky? We had the duo from HELLO there to art direct and Jeremy Liebman there photographing our gorgeous guests– seriously, take a look at these portraits and you’ll see what we mean. Here’s a look at a few FOKs and folks who joined us at The Yard at the Soho Grand Hotel for Midsummer last week. If you haven't noticed, we're having a hard time admitting that the party's over.

    New Year's Resolutions From Our FOKs!

    If you’re like us, then you’re probably just as last minute with your New Year’s resolution making as you are with your holiday shopping. The only thing better about making late resolutions is that you’ve got a whole year to fulfill them, rather than, well, the day before Christmas. But in case you’re anal about setting your 2011 goals before 2011 actually hits, we’ve got a couple of ideas for you. First on the list would be: to chill out. Second, third, and fourth on the list? We left those suggestions up to our FOKs, who have some pretty lofty goals for the coming year. Between roller skating, learning German and drinking more Kanon (OK, we added that one) they’ve got plenty of ideas to keep you busy well into 2011. 

    Piera

    Piera Gelardi, Refinery29: Every year I do a long list and a short list. The Long List: Get my license (finally), fix my record player, give blood twice, start an NYC explorers club, learn German, start a photo blog on my URL NoPinkYouStink.com, move apartments and offices, eat more pasta. The Short List: Do one nice thing every day.

    Depp

    Becka Diamond: My New Year's resolution is to keep working hard and being creative, and support my friends in doing the same!

    Jenn Camp, Le Fashion: To get organized with all my email accounts and respond to all my emails more quickly. I hate when they pile up and I start to avoid them.

Other brands keep distilling their heads and tails, milking as much heart as they can which actually strips away sweet flavours and creates ethanol and the burn so many have come to expect from vodka. We don't favour profit over quality. Learn More
