Well, well, well.
Haven't posted in some time, as the trend might seem to be. I don't have much reason to post maybe?
So,
well,
The Gathering 2008 was a blast! I and two buddies drove down to Hamar (from Ålesund), a 440 km trip (or 273 miles) the evening of Tuesday, March 18th. From Ålesund to Bjorli ski resort there were sporadic snowfall with the worst being from Åndalsnes to Bjorli, down the Romsdal valley. My lord, if we hadn't driven carefully we'd be snowy ditch decorations. From around Dombås, though, there wasn't much snow at all. In fact, the inlands were more or less snow free
So anyway, we got to Hamar and waited and waited for the damn doors to open so we could get in an leech completely 100% legal non-commercial thingies and have fun. And fun we did have. Some things were weird and/or not fun though. Some of the shows at the stage were not our cup of tea at all. The unfunniest thing was probably the professional wrestling match, mostly because we despise it. And the sickest thing would be the fakir show. I mean, come on! Huge nails up a nose, lying on a very sparely populated nail mat thingy with (starting with 8, ending with 4) 12" nails, eating a light bulb and washing it down with some cleaning spray and some balancing on a rather sharp manchete. Ugh.
Well, other than that, TG was pretty damn awesome with it's 5000 participants and things happening pretty much everywhere. Demos and intros and game and music compos and stuff. :O
And then it was over and we had to get back to Ålesund. Well, the ride sucked. Because the radiator found out it didn't wanna go and there was a huge block of ice in the air conditioning inlet. So it was cold and we had to stop lots of places to refill water. Blah!


And a little 'duh' moment to finish this news post:
