Down by the village green
Guess what.
Månefestival was brilliant! The atmosphere, the city, the weather (for the most part), not to mention the music.
Straight off the train my sister and I promptly spent more than an hour walking to our motel when it would have taken ten minutes if we'd used the ferry. Live and learn. At least we could goof off in the newer part of Fredrikstad:
Just so you'll understand the level of humour here.
The sign says that the place is reserved for Bukser og berging, i.e. trousers and salvaging. My sister demonstrates.
We also found a mine, and I threatened to blow the city sky high.
Speaking of the old fortress town of Fredrikstad, it was beautiful.
PREPARE TO BE HUGGED, GIGANTIC TREE.
And in the central market place they'd erected lots of tents and a beautiful stage to promote the festival. Also they'd given the statue of Fredrik II an electric guitar.
And we found hammocks! That you sit in!
And we started thinking, hey, what's the use of chairs? Sitting hammocks all the way!
And when you mentioned it, what's the use of beds? HAM.MOCKS.
And in the moat there was an island, and on the island there were GOATS.
Apropos of nothing, at one of the concerts I spied this intriguing hottie smoking a pipe and being all mysterious and squinty, so I acted like a creepy stalked and papparazzi'd him.
Sorry whoever you are, if you didn't want to be sneaked photographed you shouldn't look so cool. Think about that, eh?
And a quick'n'dirty guide to most of the weird running jokes created by Tiny and me spending three days together:
- Dropping the punchline "as the Bishop said to the actress" (which I love) in favour of "that's what Tollak is saying right now".
- See also; Why both professional sound checks and The Fonz have forever become linked with Tollak Friestad's sex life.
- Due to my mobile's autospell function Skambankt has been renamed Spankbank.
- Sean Connery sings the Commitments!
- "Deny thy father and refuse thy name, and I shall no longer be an Ottesen", or; Kaizers present Romeo and Juliet.
- "Damn birds, coming here and stealing our jobs. Lets go beat up a duckling."
Part two of the picspam coming up: CONCERTS!
