I knew i should have sat up in the VIP.

And there were PLENTY of Pogues backstage after. (I was the dude in the grey fedora) I vaguely recall seeing you around.


What's a fedora? Sounds like a dog. Hoho.

We didn't stay at the afterparty that long. Who showed up from the Pogues?
I remember talking to two "older" guys, one which knew Mr. Chevron - he was the kind of guy that knew EVERYONE and liked bragging about it. He was actually gonna fix us VIP-passes for the saturday gig as well. Gave him my phone number, but of course we didn't hear from him. Hehe, guess it was a typical Mr. Fixit-All alcoholic. :lol:

Eric V wrote:Wow. Great story. Had you stuck around for a while you could have taken part in another American tradition -- litigation. In this country, what the body guard guy did is called "assault" and possibly "battery" (since he did grab you and pick you up). That can entitle someone to sue their asses off.... especially if they are connected so directly to someone who "has money."

On a side note, I think its funny that Ms. Lohan is a Pogues fan. Well, maybe not so odd, as we do seem to represent all walks of life.


Norwegians don't know much about litigation. :)

I don't think Ms. Lohan was the biggest Pogues-fan though. Came late and left early! Biatch!

good way to start the day!

Hey when we go to Oslo this summer will we be as amused I wonder?? We got our tickets last weekend! 1 week each in Sweden and Norway- an adventure to look forward to!


:D

You have to be severly drunk to make Oslo amusing. It's just a concrete hellhole with maybe two interesting sites - tops. One of which is the Munch-museum, where the two most famous paintings were stolen a while ago. :lol: If you find a pub called Elm Street, shout out Skrapparkar - and I will come and buy you a beer!

Hahaha! Good one! I didn't see her hurl, but she smoked a cigarette on the gallery! Isn't that illegal? Ille-gal! Gal means crazy in norwegian!
Ah, those celebs, they do what they want!

You neglected to mention the infamous Vigelandsparken, which is basically a huge park with lots of statues of nude people, with 'Monolitten' being the crowning piece: a lord-only-knows-how-big phallic symbol made up of naked people. I'm amazed that some arse-for-brain Christian group hasn't taken it upon themselves to put clothes on the statues yet :)

My girlfriend says that Lindsay is not welcome to Norway. :o

You also have to check out Lompa (Short for Olympen - home of the greek gods), Ivars Kro and Choice Pub. Very cheap alcohol.

Before opening hours. Or after... Not sure.

Party time! Excellent!

Stay away from the typical tourist places - come to "Grønland" in Oslo and party hard!

Right you are! Vigelandsparken is the second place "worth" a visit.
Total mongoloid!
I also have to mention our Castle - the home of our pot smoking King!

The Castle makes any concentration camp look like a luxury hotel.
