It's by:Larm time!

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 7:09:46 PM

Once again, it's time for Scandinavia's largest music festival, by:Larm. Once again, it takes place in Oslo, and once again I've been lucky enough to receive a delegate pass (access all areas).

I went to register after work today, and received a PC-backpack (I really needed a backpack) filled with goodies:

There were two books - one with the intriguing name "Norwegian album covers", which should be pretty fun to look at - and another one called "Oslo - A poor man's connoisseur guide to happy living in one of the most expensive cities in the world". I'm expecting lots of great tips from that book!

In addition to the books, there were a couple of CD's, loads of flyers (I hate flyers), earplugs, chewing gum and condoms. The last three are probably best used separately...

I haven't gone through the program yet, but I'm hoping for three days with lots of fun and good music! And I shall do my very best to remember my camera this year.

I thought last year's close to 300 concerts were a lot, and now I've just heard that the number of concerts this year will be pretty close to 500!

Got something to confess?Winter in the city

I think those three things could TOTALLY be used together

Rose, how did you get all-access again? Thru work?

r♡serose-marie # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 7:36:02 PM

I think I'd lose the earplugs...

Yes, it's through work, so it won't all be fun and games.

JenJavaen # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 7:41:35 PM

But still, sounds fun!

and bonus! Free stuff.

Hear any music there that blew you away yet, this year?

r♡serose-marie # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 7:44:22 PM

Not yet. The kick-off just started, but I won't go tonight. Tomorrow is the official start.
The best part is that the concerts are only 30 minutes, which allows you to see a pretty wide variety of bands. Of course, you'll have to run between the arenas, but that's just part of the fun.

Also, 30 minutes is just enough time for a drink at each place

More backstage info, again, yes?

. I think the bags are a good idea, but is it just officials who get one, or everyone attending? Cause condoms for just officials would be a rather weird assumption

No nude photos this time please.

Phantom2 # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 8:35:22 PM

Throw away the eyeplugs!

Darkogdare # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 8:47:23 PM

Are you singing this time?

Have a great time and make a lot of photos

r♡serose-marie # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 8:47:50 PM

Kimmie -

All the delegates and artists get the bag. Might make for some interesting combos

.

Mik -

What would you like to see then?

P2 - Eyeplugs? I promise you I won't wear that!

r♡serose-marie # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 8:50:02 PM

Darko - The singing - definitely not! The great time - I hope so

Phantom2 # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 8:58:20 PM

See what loud music does to the brain!

r♡serose-marie # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 9:01:57 PM

I guess I better plug them in then.

JenJavaen # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 9:06:28 PM

. Sounds so fun. I love hearing music.

Spaggyj # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 10:04:38 PM

Hmmm... They assume you're all promiscuous. BURN

Rosie's gonna bag a drummer

theoddbod # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 10:28:28 PM

Remember, you have to see every single concert

Dacotah # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 10:39:05 PM

Have a blast.

Dark FurieFurie # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:29:35 PM

Rosie's gonna bang a drummer?

Spaggyj # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:31:52 PM

Jealous?

theoddbod # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:46:37 PM

I'm sure there's a drummer for Mik too

JenJavaen # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:48:16 PM

Doesn't Kimmie play guitar?

theoddbod # Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:51:59 PM

That was Ziggy

Mrs. HermitessHermitess # Thursday, February 19, 2009 12:46:52 AM

Woo! Sounds like great fun!

KittyliciousZaphira # Thursday, February 19, 2009 6:56:49 AM

I had a drummer boyfriend once... *dreams*

Ahem... anyway... Nice goodie bag you got!

r♡serose-marie # Thursday, February 19, 2009 9:01:03 AM

Jen - Me too. I don't go on many concerts anymore, so this is a welcomed opportunity

.

Kimmie -

I read that as "bang a drummer" too, and was going to say been there, done that

.

Mart - No problem - I have my concert going clone army ready.

Who is Ziggy?

Herm - I hope so. It's about time to go through the program soon and pick out some performances

.

Zap - Aha! *interprets dreams*

Actually, I'm quite happy with the bag itself

. The contents I can do without...

KittyliciousZaphira # Thursday, February 19, 2009 9:30:03 AM

Is it the bag I can see in the background?

r♡serose-marie # Thursday, February 19, 2009 9:38:54 AM

Yes - half of it.

Spaggyj # Thursday, February 19, 2009 9:53:07 AM

That's what I was thinking, Mart

. Jen, nah not really, only a little.. Perhaps you're thinking that I've been playing Guitar Hero, it's nothing like playing a real guitar, though.

Rosie - then you're all dirty minded and need a caning

.
A drummer and our Kitty... Weird imagery...

r♡serose-marie # Thursday, February 19, 2009 10:01:05 AM

Do you have a guitar, Kimmie?

I need a caining? A drum stick caning?

I've always had a soft spot for drummers though, so I can totally understand Zap...

*waits for P2 to show up again*
