000719 (early morning)Some days ago I and Peter watched a spanish movie called "Solas".
And earlier today we saw a chinese movie called "Not one Less", wich was about as the title says, about
a girl that becomes a substitue for a class. I love asian movies, not only for the ways of telling the stories,
but also for the wonderful music and landscapes. So totally diffrent from the views and sounds you are
familiar with.000715 (early morning)
This years festival pics is, as last year, really bad ones.. ½ of them are not published here
because they simply suck. Still the ones avaible aren't good either, but it's something to look at for
some minutes.I'm lending out the local paper GP quite good now. Worked with it about 5 days now, and I think I have
learned the technique as it should be. I'm pleased with the job. It's not even 1 hour of work, and I get paid
for 1 ½ hours. Ok, it's in the middle of the night, but I have the full day to come to do whatever I have in mind.
I'm not isolated in a shop or some other indoor job place.Saw Mission Inpossible 2 last wednesday. A movie that is... well packed of action, if you think about the first
Mission Inpossible wich was very slow. MI2 is faster and slicker. And according to me better than the orginal.Yesterday it was Kalas. Saw TeddyBears STHLM for the first time, cool band. Sahara Hotnights for the second
time, quite O.K, and finally Kent for the third time, awsome as usual.000712 (early morning)
Had some conversation with Peter about getting to know your ppl in school and such places.
How hard it is to say "Hi" when you are in school, and how much easier it is when you are outside
the prison. I feel that myself too that I'm much more <open> to getting in contact with persons outside
the prison. The feeling and the expanded "friend field" is all worth that tiny "Hi".
Moved from one Café to another, drank two big cups of tee in less than three hours.000709
I'm home and alive from Roskilde.
The festival was as you all maybe know effected by the deaths in front of the orange stage.
9 persons are now dead, because of the pressure they got from other festival visitors during the
Pearl Jam concert. It's a tradegy, we all know it. But the festival did went on.This year I went by car, myself beeing the driver. The plan was to depart on Monday around
13.00 or so, but we left Gothenburg at 16.30, all to late. We halted in Copenhagen for some
important purchases. Got stuck there for about 1 ½ hour or so. Later we got stuck at the Kastrup
island (the airport) for about 1 hour. So we arrived the Camp West parking area at about midnight.
It was to dark to set up the tent, so we slept (or tried to at least) in the car to 6 in the morning.The Thuesday that followed was spent on buying beer and consume beer, and just chill out at the tent.
We meet a cool dude saying that the "Dallas Run" is tonight at 22.50. So why not, we joined in and
ran all over the camp with the Dallas theme in our hands. Later on we found some thugs with white
coats and plastic bags at their heads, they said they were going to dance samba all over the camp,
and so we did. Drumming against all kind of diffrent things to make the rythm flow. Got some good sleep
thanks to the beer consumed.The Wednesday was spent in the same way. Go up with hangover, eat, drink, eat, drink, dance
somewhere where you find a stereo. I also remember we found a really cool guy with the same interest
as me (X-Files), he had this illuminating thing that made us stop and begin to talk. Coold dude, they are
all over Roskilde, the cool and strange dudes. Saw a play about Roskilde at the Camping area.
The actors were really good and I was very impressed by their skills.At Thursday the festival area opened up with all it had to offer, stages, food, drinks, and all kind of other
strange things. Saw Juan de Marcos´ Afro Cuban All Stars, Nine Inch Nails, Iron Maiden and Lok.
Nothing really special with those concerts. NIN was cool to see live, have 2 albums of them.It had to be the second festival day (Friday) that I discovered the "Ballroom" stage, with artists like
Funk´n´lata and Sin Palabras. Last year I didn't spend any time at all near this stage, don't know why really,
but this year this stage was one of my best experiences at the festival. The mood of the artists and the way
they interact with their audience is so diffrent from the bands peforming at the bigger stages.
The second thing that I discovered this year was the Chill Out tent, I saw it last year, but it wasn't really as
attractive as it was this year. This year had a new DJ peforming every hour or so. With diffrent kind of chill-
out music, relaxed type of music. There was one time when I almost fell asleep.
I saw the 2 bands allready mentioned, and Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers, Kent (awsome as usual),
Travis (also very good, nice mood in the audience) and some bits of Pearl Jam.We had some trouble to decide if going home or not. But we decided to stay. As the festival manager said,
the festival keeps on. It doesn't stop. Youssou N´dour dedicated his concert to the people that died during
the Pearl Jam concert. Youssou N´dour's concert was very warm and good itself with a feeling that life goes
on when you so sure it won't. There is always a hope. With his soft voice, he made us belive.<This text is also avaible at the Roskilde page>
