Tuesday tidbits, reprise

Once again I'm bored in the office, while Denmark is in the middle of its so-called "industrial holiday" period. That means everyone in the country basically is on vacation and everything is closed. And, my office is entirely empty except for me, so I'm sitting here alone listening to music and trying to work. But a break for a blog post first :) (And don't feel TOO bad for me, I'm taking a few days off soon too -- but I don't have time to take several weeks at a time like everyone else, since I have to leave soon and have to finish up a lot of stuff before that.)

Anyway -- Roskilde festival was amazing! I had a great time. It was sunny almost the whole time; just started raining right before the last concert on the last night, but by then nobody really cared. There are some nice pictures on this website. You can kind of see the scale of it in "roskilde festival from above" (more than 100,000 people -- and this was a smaller than average year since last year was so rainy, so a lot of people didn't want to come). You can also see some of the various non-music activities available, although I didn't participate in many of these since I couldn't go until after the music started (most people go several days before the music starts, but I was in London on a work trip so I couldn't go until Friday). So now I am trying to figure out how to get back for Roskilde '09! (I finish exams on June 26th, and the festival starts on the 28th, so it should be possible... already looking forward to it!)

Thanks for doing what you can to improve the Scandinavian work ethic.

And when you return to Minnesota you'll probably improve things here, too.
