I truly and utterly love this video. For obvious reasons: the high pitched man voices, the nice beat, the killer 'cause unconventional moves, the perfect cuts, the glowy thingies in the background and the dancers, which are as hot as it gets (Especially the black haired partner of that white dude who's doing all the singing). But first and foremost: it's so fucking stylish black and white!

Must've watched it 20 times in one go when it first came out. Dug it up today because Annika and I were talking about her first 'Reggae Dance' lessons and started passing around videos with nice choreos.

Whoopee! Today I went to my first ever official print start :D Now it's not like I haven't seen an offset print house from the inside before or that I haven't had personal projects produced professionally yet – I'm counting big scale digital print as professional – but it sure is a different feeling when it's your first real project coming fresh out of the press. Even more so, if you're the one who's saying 'Go' after reviewing the first test prints...

Nice service too: Beni, my project manager, and me got picked up by the guys from RK Grafisk, drove to the print place, had everything explained to us while watching the set up of the plates and then looked at the first results. Found a typo on the flyers, so they started with the posters first while we corrected the mistake. But hopefully by tomorrow afternoon everything will be done and ready for action. And typo-free.

Just schtuff.

It is not cool to work 16 hours straight on a week day.
It is cool to walk home in daylight for the first time in months.
It will hopefully be cool, when I'm going to the print start on Monday to see my posters and flyers be produced.

Yupp, you guessed it – another concert. Last Monday I went to see Bloc Party at Sentrum Scene, which despite its relatively big size is a pretty cool location. Lots of small, slightly elevated platforms let even the people in the back have a good view. In addition, there's a seated gallery for people who just wanna watch the concerts in more chill way.

The concert itself was good but not great. The sound was pretty awfully mixed from time to time and the Norwegian crowd just didn't wanna get quite jiggy wid' it. I had seen Bloc Party before, a couple of years back in Frankfurt. When I walked out of the concert hall back then, my jeans were completely soaking wet with sweat from all the dancing and pogo-ing. This time around the people only really went nuts for the last two songs. Of course there was a bit of jumping and clapping before as well, but even singer Kele Okereke, who had first praised us as "probably the most stylish crowd we have ever played for", at one point shouted "C'mon people, this isn't fucking Snow Patrol playing here!".

But hey, whenever things actually started getting a bit rougher, the securities up front would get up on the stands, point at people, give 'em a grim look and shake their heads as if saying "Any more movement and I'm pulling you out!". It's a rock concert for fuck's sake! If people arent' allowed to freak out and have fun then, when ever? They seriously have to get their security 'concept' overhauled...

By the way, the opening act, of which I only saw three songs – quite good ones though – was Delphic. And just listen to the shockingly amazing sound quality of my digicam ;)

This is the reason why I'm only able to blog on weekends lately – Bombay Sapphire's been keepin' me busy and will continue to for at least another two weeks. Hopefully, I'll be able to show some of that stuff as well as some other sketches within a weeks time. It's good to see though that I'm not the only one busting my ass this time of day (night) as the city's workers are out clearing the streets from yet another heavy snowfall...

P.S. I actually planned to go to the Arctic Challenge finals today, but hey, don't I have better things to do :P
