Solskogen 2012 - Dawn of the Dead Pixels
category: parties [glöplog]
shame on the poor fella who gets to ride her after all that
who's coming thursday evening? anyone planning to fire up a grill there? (would make our food options from svinesund a little more interesting)
I guess disposable grills are the easy solouting. However I remember Tore TORE TOOORE!!! brought a "real" grill last year.
But I would go for the disposable grill at Rema1000. 10-20kr (like 5 DKK or 5000 SEK)

Yeeeeah.. look -- you're free to buy a "use-for-Solskogen-only-BBQ", but you will need to take it with you when you leave. Last year we had to pay a "fine" of over 2500,- NOK because we had to go to the garbage dump with lots of stuff people left behind. That sucked.
How can you pay a fine when you have to bring the "extra" garbage to the garbage dump yourselves?
Norwegian logic?

we will do like the norwegians and catch our own fish barehanded in the nearby elv!
Just dump it somewhere and blame the gypsies :P
Nah, but we will tidy up after ourselves. Won't we people?
Now lets just pray for the rain to stop in time :/

dwarf: I put "fine" because we didn't actually pay a fine, we paid a "fine" :) As in: you can't just dump 55 bags of waste for free. Only regular household amounts are allowed. When you in addiiton to that start bringing in broken beds, chairs, BBQs (yes, really) a big broken boombox and other stuff .. you have to pay. I paid 2500,- to be allowed to deliver it to the garbage dump / recycling station. So - not a fine, but an extra expense we certainly didn't need.
Moral of the story? You can buy and bring almost whatever you like, but you have to take it with you when you go. Leaving it at the partyplace means more work and more expenses for the party.
tft: yeah, pray to Odin!

Wow, if I had to deal with that level of ouch I'd probably be put off organizing. Serious kudos to you Bent, and the rest of the Solskogen orga crew.
One of the things I give thanks for with @party is that every year some of the folks who came have helped with cleanup (during and after). ( :

metoikos: to get the sympathy-vote I should add that I delivered the garbage alone. In the rain. For 5 hours. Why 5 hours you ask? Because we had all the garbage in black bags, and you're not allowed to use those. You have to use see-through bags and sort the garbage. So I stood there, sorting paper/cardboard from cans and glass and metal and wood.
Never again.
Never again.
gloom: you forgot to prepend "Back in my day..."
and also to append, "... and we were happy!"
...I believe your story also lacks something about walking uphill both ways.

Damn Gloom, you deserve some kind of award. Unfortunately, all I can do is bring you some homemade fudge next party I meet you at.
Funny thing is, last year I remember you having to say please make sure to not be so loud and clean up a bit more so they let the party keep having this place.
Wish I could be there this year : (

When I Was A Boy
by Frank Hayes
(filk lyrics)
" When I was a boy, our Nintendo
Was carved from an old Apple tree
And we used garden hose to connect it
To our steam-powered color TV.
But it still beat that ancient Atari
'Cuz I almost went blind, don'tcha know,
Playing Breakout and Pong on a video game
Hooked up to the radio.
And we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
Barefoot, uphill both ways,
Through blizzards in summer and winter
Back in the good old days.
Back when Fortran was not even Three-tran
And the PC was only a toy
And we did our computing by gaslight
When I was a boy.
When I was a boy, all our networks
Were for hauling in fish from the sea--
Our bawd rate was eight bits an hour (and she was worth it!),
And our IP address was just 3.
And you kids who complain that the World Wide Web
Is too slow oughtta cut out your bitchin',
'Cuz when I was a boy, every packet
Was delivered by carrier pigeon
And we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
Barefoot, uphill both ways,
Through blizzards in summer and winter
Back in the good old days.
Back when Fortran was not even Two-tran
And the mainframe was only a toy
And we did our computing by torchlight
When I was a boy.
When I was a boy, our IS shop
Built relational tables from wood,
And we wrappered our data in oilcloth
To preserve it the best that we could.
And we carried our bits in a bucket,
And our mainframe weighed 900 tons,
And we programmed in ones and in zeros
And sometimes we ran out of ones.
And we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
Barefoot, uphill both ways,
Through blizzards in summer and winter
Back in the good old days.
Back when Fortran was not even One-tran
And the abacus? Only a toy!
And we did our computing in primordial darkness
When I was a boy. "

beer.
I just packed my earbuds. They have changeable filters for what frequency range you want to filter out.
I set them for bass.

I support the message; beer.
Also, gammel oppland will be consumed at the party.

Still no trains from Gardermoen to Oslo S?? How many years does that construction work (or whatever they are doing) take? :-O
They started up again this summer. Oslo S is actually open but they are supposedly fixing the tracks. Except they're not really doing much due to an impressive fuckup; some official genius ordered the wrong type of machine for those tracks. But since it was planned for a long time, the tracks are closed anyway, as there are other minor improvements going on as well. So you get to ride the bus. And we probably get another round next summer...
In other words its business as usual in Norway. Well met! :P

Like I said in the Facebook thread as well, the train from Oslo S to Ås is still running. So the bus instead of train is only for people who fly in to Gardermoen, like Blueberry :)
Blueberry: Thats the way it works in this Bureaucracy obsessed country. Blow the budget, never finish on time, do a half ass job. Its normal. We can't make anything work efficient here, except oil drilling equipment ofcourse ;)
Advice you to take the Airport Shuttle bus instead of Train/Bus. Takes less time, and you get discount on a Return ticket.
