Here in Hillerød, 20 minutes away from the festival spot, the roads are covered by water. (one meter deep in some places!) Half of the buses are cancelled, just as the train between Hillerød and Allerød (the first stop on the way to Copenhagen). This means I have to spend and extra 30 minutes to get to work.
But, honestly. My problems are nothing compared to the people there. And their problems are nothing compared to other things going on around the globe. Reading Faaez's entry this morning, I came to think about the fact that spending 30 minutes extra on a bus in the morning and being fully registered, legally, in Denmark is not such a big problem at all. The latter is mostly a question of pride.
Everything is really all about perspective, isn't it?

I totally agree. We have been madly gaffa-taping our tents in what looks like a storm-torn, post-apocalyptic wasteland of mud, beercans and crying environmental refugees. There are lakes of mud up to your navel. There is nothing green anywhere. Now that the rain has stopped and some of the mud is drying, the air is filled with particulates of dry muddy dust that makes it impossible to see.
On the plus side, internet is free.
I've just got back from the seaside and my knee is sun-burnt. That's the worst happening here!
enjoy the mud, the busses and the rain.
Let me know when you arrive...
Oh I remembered you're there too!
It looks quite some shit man. And hey, if you get hold of Maciej, can you tell him I need to talk to him asap? I think Maja left already didn't she?
Well, all of you wanting me to leave messages to people - I'm in Hillerød, at Andreas' place. (Not planning to go to the enormous mud field, even though it's only 20 minutes away...)
So, you'll all have to contact people yourselves. I think Maciej and Erik already left. They were supposed to drop by here but couldn't make it. Maja I don't know anything about. Sorry...
HAHAHA GOOD THING I DIDN'T GO THIS YEAR.
lol. but really? is the weather affecting it disastrously? i suppose the question is directed at a veteran, e.g. Ted.
There was one day where Ragnarok came with its windy, rain-strewn maw, but after that, if you got hold of some ingenuity, tarpaulins and gaffa tape(as did Ted, Erik, Maciej and I), you were fine.
Lots of people left early. I couldn't. I'm glad i didnt, the weather at the end was beautiful and i didn't go for the weather but for the people and the atmosphere. And the former lasted enough for the latter to be phenomenal.
