--------------------------BEWARE OF THE BLOGG!this is what happened: we flew out from bergen to london, stayed a night in a aspestos-infested uncle-fester sorta motel, with a hot water-roomheater from the bawels of dust-hell, not to mention the pink toilet where you had to go number 2 with the door open because of lack of space for the old knees-and-legs.
so, after that we flew 9 hours or so to minneapolis where we spent 3 hours halfasleep waiting for our next flight to austin which was delayed.all good.
we finally got there at midnight, and it was beautiful, warm weather,nice rental-car and open roads.
soar troats,shaking flight-knees and severe backpain aside, we were there.

so we woke up the next day to nice weather and blue skies.
indie-kids and biz-people walking hand in hands down the sun-kissed sidewalk, wading in flyers,posters and free beer-tickets.
we got our badges and goody-bag(very-well logistics sxsw) and sat in the sun and smiled for a little while, the earth stopped spinning and it was just great being alive doing nothing.
after the leisure that is life, we did biz-lunch with nikki and will, god bless them!,and we did an interview with a berlin-based radio-station and a programme called fritz.
we decided to return our rental-car, seemed that it was no use for it since we could take shuttles and stuff everywhere for 0.50 $ a head. we also stumbled into a party where "yacht" and "does it offend you,yeah?" was playing.in my humble opinion yacht should´ve stuck with the blow.
the hightlight of the day would come around 11aclock, when the slits were playing at the elysium. it was awesome!
the band was really loose and tight at the same time, vocalist "ari up" who was really tanned, mooned us to our amusement, at the end of the show. it was some moon i´ll tell ya!
she is fit like a panther.
i also have to mention the guitarist, who played so good it gave me goosebumps on my soul!
she was stabbing the guitar with the precision of a serial-killer, and she was funky as they come!

here´s a cute picture of her.
----------------------------------GUITAR-GODDESSafter that we went for some drinks with nikki, we ended up at a bar where this dude was singing about dollars and dollars and he really meant it.
20 dollars,40 dollars,30 dollars and so forth...
he must´ve been hallocinating or something, poor guy.
we called it a day and went back and slept like newly washed babies in diaper-commersials,
happy and pampered with the great day.

day two was hectic like a motherfucker!
we went for breakfast with chris at this family-restaurant way-off broadway,
and ate some big-ass omelettes and our waiter looked like the guy from "perfect strangers" or "balki and larry" as it was called when it aired in the 90´s in norway.
our guy looked like the one who was russian, i think that was balki, he also looked alittle bit like dweezil zappa, but this blog isnt really about people looking like famous people so lets drop that.

after the breakfast we went and had a really good interview with a guy from the wall street journal, he was really smart and warm and we took an imidiate liking to the guy.
he had alot of things figured out about us already, and i wish we could spend some more time with him.
and the day was just getting better by the minute.
so..., after that we went and did an interview with mtv, with charlotte thorstvedt with her
haunting beautiful looks and camera-karisma.

--------------------------------------------COZY!it was very cozy and pollite unlike the interview we would do later...
so then we went out to rural austin, saw a good show with sissywish, hijacked an ice-cream truck and got a bit of a sun tan.

-----------------------------------WHO´S FOR ICECREAM?after that we did an interview with channel 4 in the middle of the street, there was a preaching farm-boy right next to us with a sign with a bible-quote on, and he really got on our nerves.
-----------------------------------------SAY CHEESE!so we moved a little to the left.
the interview was as wacky as they come.
i cant wait to see it,it was fake-penises,spinning,attacking of the journalist and alot of nice verbal
tricketering.
they were really sweet guys, and their boss an australian curvy beauty was obviously drunk on tequila.
it was magic!
after that we went to do our show.
we played a really good set at maggie mays rooftop, it was a really lit up stage on a rooftop ofcourse.
it was calm wind swooshing in through the open ceiling blowing life into the puppets that are ungdomskulen, and oh! did it help.
we played as if it was no tomorrow, and no yesterday.alotta love and dancing was a-going down!
after the show we all rushed off to the orchid where viper room had there party.
within 15 minutes we were playing our second show.
it went well, and we got to meet our favorite promoter melissa.
she is a sweet-heart, if there ever was one.she took really good care of us, and pulled off some classic dancemoves during our set.
after that it was pretty much straight to bed, we were knockered, and a 26 hour flight the next day was waiting.
im not going into that flight cause it was so depressing long and boring, but we ended up in scotland eventually which is a good thing.
so that is where we are now reminiscing and stuff.
smell you soon!
