Off I go

2 Comments
Off I go to HardRockHell Festival, Bristol, UK. Discussing about my photo and laptop bag with Ryanair will be fun, because they absolutely allow only one piece of cabin luggage, period. And I don't think I'd like to check in several thousand euros worth of either...

On hating computers

7 Comments
Lately I found myself cussing at computers more than usual. Actually, not only computers, but almost all technology I encounter in my everyday life just annoys me very quickly now. Now, for a total geek like me, that's a very strange thing to discover. I used to really like computers, programming, all the great things you ...

Headway Festival 2007 Photos & Review

5 Comments
This year's edition of the Headway Festival--the fifth--took once again place in club P60 in Amstelveen, The Netherlands. A promising line-up including big names such as Zero Hour and Redemption, and soon-to-be big names like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Loch Vostok, put this festival on the must-visit list for me.

Headway Festival 2007

I'm getting ready to go to the Headway Festival 2007 in Amstelveen (near Amsterdam), NL, this weekend. Although Headway is happening indoors, in P60, I will take a tent and a sleeping bag; I suppose I'll be in for a little adventure. The original plan was to go see both days of the festival: To-Mera, Sun ...

Teereste

1 Comment
Jetzt ist sie wieder weg, für mindestens einen Monat. In der Küche schwappt noch etwa eine Achtel Tasse Tee in der Kanne herum, das Teelicht verausgabt sich eher nutzlos, aber jetzt aufzustehen und es auszumachen, ne, lass ma. Salbei und Pfefferminz haben beschlossen, dass es eher unergiebig ist, die Wohnungstür in der Hoffnung anzumaunzen, dass diese ...
