Happy New Year!

Just to keep the hopes for the future up and going; enjoy this little thingey about my favorite statesman of all times....

Well, x-mas...

...is finally history... We had a calm celebration only Johan(my older brother), me and my mom. We talked about going with the rest of the family to my uncle's place, but decided to stay at mom's new flat. Kind of weird as it was the first christmas without Anders, so we thought it would be for the better to keep it kinda calm. And we also wanted to visit churchyard and Anders' grave. It was the first time I've been there since the funeral, but it awoke less feelings than expected. I wasn't able to connect the place with him, but mom keeps going there daily for comfort. I guess we've just got different ways mourning...

At about midnight I called it a draw and went to Last Train to hook up with Mathias for a few beers. The place was pretty stuffed, as I arrived a bit too early. So I met several others as well including my "sister in blood", Tor, and some pretty nice but smashed out bikers suffering some bad case of mouthdiarea, but totally unable to make understandable conversation. After that me and Mathias ended up at my place, pretty tired, winedrinking and listening to some indie-albums I've recently aquired... Pretty nice evening:)

On the meatmarket there has been some cleaning up the mess-work going on... The dumping of the sms-girl went kinda smooth, but instead of getting upset she just said "call me when you change your mind". Well, don't think that is going to happen. On the other hand I've started on this flirt-project with a very cool and pretty girl, but it's yet to see what happens... And I've got to clean up these other projects first... At least thats the clever way to do things to avoid further hammock and embarrasing incidents in the near future. The only thing left is to talk to the girl I've known for ages and call that project a draw....

Else, as DCver's prophetic views foretold in a comment over a year ago, I've been asked to be responsible for the booking at Mono full time. So I'm suddenly supposed to be in charge of every concert and happening at work from the 1st of may. It is not yet completely official, as we still need to negotiate wages and sign the contracts. Anyway this means I'm unable to spend that much time in the bar, and that could mean I might be able to get myself something close to a sleeping pattern. I've also been working on the By:Larm project, but I'm starting to get short of time, so there'll be hellish amounts of phonecalls to do on the 27th, but I think I'll get there... I went to see the place in Trondheim on Tuesday the 12th, and it's huge! But me and Leo agreed on a plan to make it abit easier to acomplish, at least for me:) I also discovered this fabulous place at Svartlamoen called Ramp, with grand scrambled eggs and a pretty unstable net connection; think I found myself a local office while working with By:Larm....

On the concert front it's been pretty busy, Accidents never happen, Ken Stringfellow & Jim Protector, Ungdomskulen, Quarter Past, dj-sessions with klubb pudding, Je'suis Animal, EPA, Remington Super 60, Wibutee, Samuel Jackson 5, Harry's Gym, In The Country and Shit City.

Happy Newyear!!!

Several...

...girls galore... I seem to have over-done it on the meat market... Kind of embarrasing actually... It all started out with this pretty fun sms-date-thingey, wich seemed to trigger some add-ons. I met this other girl at the same time. This other girl was a one night stand thingey, and it prooved we both agreed on this... The sms-thingey started to grow abit more frequent, wich was not intended. After our first date wich ended up too fast in the sack, I tried to spend time to get to know her, but it always seemed to go the "wrong" way. She has continued this weird skill of ending up at my place, even after I've thankfully declined me sleeping at her place, and she spending the night at my place... The reason is; she is an incredible kisser... Kind of hard to resist, espescially when you're tipsy. So I avoided her for two days, but, meanwhile, I suddenly managed to end up with a third girl, who I've know since the teens... And she seems pretty eager as well. Luckily she went on vacation to the philipines, so I'll get awhile to think this project over, but the sms-girl is still very eager, andI guess I'm not... Feeling like a pretty big dunghole but I have to meet her and tell her where things are standing at the moment. I have avioded it for two days, but I have made the appointment tonight... Not looking forward to it, and I guess I deserve a decent amount of beer all over...

Else concerts have been Love Is All, Sonberg/Rønbech, Lionheart Brothers, and Christer Knutsen and the Sacret Hearts. So in addition to work and all the "swinging" it's been pretty busy... Highlight was def Lionheart Brothers, with a fabulous drum/bass section!

Well, off to the shower and the hopefully-not-that-unpleasant dumping of the sms-girl....

I'm not....

...sure what to make of this, but I am actually working late nights with a guy who thinks I'm tiny and cute, and to top it; calls himself "Daysy". Spookey shit, or what mista B***e?

Anyhow, the concert-frequency have been kind of low since last post; two at Mono wich was decent enough; Rocket to the sky and Susanne Sundfør both from norway. Then I attended Badly Drawn Boy at Rockefeller, wich was kinda interesting as he delivered a pretty crappy performance, and still managed to be pompous and arrogant at the same time. He even stole some of the audiences beers on several occations and the he threw a mic-stand at a table where the victims of his thirst where sitting. And at song requests the frase; "yeah right, go fuck yourself!" came repeatedly... Nice fellow...

I've also been "pulled" into the arty-part of this years By:Larm, and it seems loads of work, so I hope I'm not above my head here. I'm supposed to give a lecture on graffiti, both history and my opinions on the matter... Spookey... I am also supposed to fill over 300 meters long, 3 meters high walls with different kinds of artworks... So that means I got over a thousand squaremeters huge "sandbox" to fill... And in addition I'm supposed to work as a journalist during the event, as I did last year; but thats the easy part. And I will get a hotelroom this time, I hope...

Else I tried this new date-thingey; sms-blind-dating of sorts... Well has been successful this far, the girl is neat and have a good taste in music, but on the other hand she's a bit too eager... Been trying to just meet and talk before anything more happens; but that has failed twice, wich is the same amount of times I've met the girl. She has this very clever way of ending up at myplace, despite the fact I have said no at both occations...
