ANARCHY IN… well…. Kaffi Hljomalind

Saturday, March 3, 2007

Went down to the opening of the bookstore below the cafe today. Quite a fun event. Shot a lot of video of but, duh! I had the camera in portrait rather than landscape orientation. OOps. If I can’t rotate it, you’re going to get the video wrong side up. (Ah! Quicktime Pro can do this, [...]

Gus Gus video

Saturday, March 3, 2007

Gus Gus video showing – well, see the club at the end with the semi-circular bar? That’s where I saw Bloodgroup last night. One way of conceptualizing this place is that it’s 170,000 people.

Butt-cold but not much worse than New York, and certainly nothing compared [...]

OK, ok…

I’ll start blogging again. Dammit. So here’s the basic scoop. I’m in Iceland. I don’t know why I chose Iceland rather than, say, the South of France, but on arrival I recognized the place as somewhere that I could call home for a while or maybe a lifetime because there’s an energy here that’s very [...]
