It's my birthday today, and I celebrated last night with a couple of buddies at the Dubliner Pub here in Oslo. The bartender was kind enough to let us play the Pogues all night long!

I will write a longer experience description later, as for now I just feel the need to say that: * The band was playing perfectly * Shane sang wonderfully * I'm still exhausted from the whole night * After 2 showers, I still smell like sweat and beer * My voice is gone * This was the best night of m...

My friend might lend me his ID and his glasses. This makes me 23 years. ;) My first Pogues gig was in Oslo, back in the nineties, and at Sentrum Scene. I think I was 17 at the time, and had to borrow ID from an acquaintance. She was 29, and the door macho apologised profusely for having doubted my ...

Tomorrow! The concert is tomorrow!
Surely I'm not going to be able to get any sleep tonight. I'll be up all night watching Pogues videos on youtube!

By the way, are there any pubs near Union Scene? One where people under 20 might get in would be very much to my liking!

By the way, the tickets for the concert in Drammen is now sold out!

God, I'd love to come to Norway for the concert and the flights are really cheap.... How old do you have to be to get into a pub there? And how expensive is it to stay in a hostel or so?? If the drinks are so expensive, I can't spend too much on the accommodation... The general age limit at pubs is...

Lucky bastards! You're seeing 'em tonight!

My 'first' concert will be The Pogues, august 27th, at Union Scene in Drammen!

Absolutely. I cannot even begin to express my desire for that flask. I've been looking for just a regular flask for weeks now, and now I find a Pogues one! I'm gonna have to email the website and ask when stuff comes in stock!
