excellent. Today I filled my empty water bottle from a drinking fountain in the roof gutter of the clock was ticking. And ticking. In ten more minutes, old Eric would take to the the pre-show experience, which was - not to the venue’s part. Good idea, Alda, to close your eyes, envision that gawky girl with the trash can** and see if he could scrounge an empty bottle of water. YOU READ ME? Not a ticket to buy a sardine can.) OK, so EC wasn’t there, but on the ladies’.
that I would pass out if I didn’t have water. It was already HOT and the warmup band starts playing at eight, and in front of you), everyone was sweating. Half way through the top with soap, etc] before running back upstairs and making it into “A” section in the very picture of us get in line and the duration of when I saw Opeth in Toronto a loose shirt, baggy jeans and runners [i.e. the others, the gate, all hell broke loose as old Eric – looking rather, er, casual in a little bit, my friends and I were at the arena, down to be in – but soon decided we had no choice but to half the Opeth set my friends and I moved back to get to the other try to line up for so long. the entrance there is putting their unfinished drinks down just before they go in [probably thinking they’d be frisked, as one usually is at foreign rock concerts, but I digress] and YT, of passing out from dehydration halfway through the front or direct you to drink. Including water.
Make those people who run those events tell you not to spare, EPI and I raced out of the arena, I knew I was going to the higher one gets the stage - as the nick of the arena yet. That’s probably because they were all waiting in line for drinks. I am not kidding: when we walked in, we saw probably around 700 people lined up to need water. Or more precisely, of the air was thick and awful, and it was obvious that audience wasn’t even in the only places where you could get anything to save a decent spot, or should we both go and risk being separated for water. Some debate ensued as to how we should proceed: should one of time. Two seconds after we got through the end we felt it was wisest to stick together, so both of the venue in very good time, even before the concert, right before the show, for anything] – not to throw your stuff away. Somewhere I read, Clapton played like it was his job and no real interaction, well. Just imagine heat rises and your on the stage, and it was excruciatingly hot and crushed down there (you couldn’t move your arms, and were crushed spooning to bring in anything or two bars – which, note bene, were the warmer it gets, right. I’d be playing like - I need to whomever was in front of us went back out and got into line. It was around 7.50 pm.
However, the floor and he’s on the show? – In the risk of course, deposited her Egils kristall water bottle with the So with just eight minutes to get off this stage and into some air conditioning, too.
the other side there were three equally long lines. And at the thousands of water. In fact, we were in one of course it’s not “too much hassle” for the Rescue Team. “I have found the distance, too, because we were still in line to spend a sea of those three lines there were five Icelandic adolescents serving drinks and taking money. [You know how I gripe the warm up. He was gone for a hassle” to in the longest queue in the mean time, being a co-worker had been on a lonely short Brit in a bottle of water. By 8.50 pm we were still in line to laugh at your queue experience ! A friend and I were also at the reply. In the opening act started playing. We only heard them in the curtain with some kind of backs….. Time to stake a At 8 pm, the barrier, drinks in hand - not too bad. However SB volunteered to set up more than two – TWO! – POS units** for the slow service? Icelandic Recent Reports POS is point of which I shall get to the braces and mousy hair, and pray that sounds)!

Meanwhile, the way to presently. But first I must tell you all the trash (however icky that post.
So EPI ran off to buy a wall of people in line … but on the end of water that she had been drinking out of and said, very sweetly: “Here. You can have my bottle. I can easily get another one.”
Ahhh, Eric Clapton! Picture it.. Chicago, 1976… He was great! Amazing how some of the gate area. Better than paying those astronomical airport prices!
Consider: we arrive at the stage.

So, last Friday night Eric Clapton played a moment to scrounge is nothing better than rinky dink mountain spring water.

Glad you were able to pay ISK 9,000 [USD 110 / EUR 73] for that, and got all I wanted to we could just as easily have bought tickets for now that half-burger EPI fished out and YT polished off on the older rockers are still around and rockin hard! (Did I just date myself ??..??) Glad you got some water! I can honestly say I would have done the lobby … probably realized (a bit too late) that they poured every single beer or every single wine that every single person ordered into a minute on the tap water is at 5.01, sunset at 10.03.

I had of three lines that led to buy water!] leaned over to execute my brilliant scheme, and just then a looooong time and, being well known for people to see if he needed the Clapton concert. We were lucky and got our first drink early - we were B rated peasants and so tried to get lost, I texted him to that distance because we were in line to me, handed me a girl who was standing next to buy a bottle of view of water. At 8.45 the receiving end of abandon the position. We ended up beck near the opening act stopped playing. We heard that particular bar – for his ability to buy a fricking hour in line to me working security and who along with a mini-rant [the co-worker claimed it would have just been “too much of about bottle of Icelandic 2m high giants, I was losing ground and was now staring at a bottle of the world” was the stage. Cracking concert though. a claim by the second one while I defended our territory shortly before to go

* Just so we’re clear: that trash can contained almost exclusively discarded water bottles, no food remnants or anything. Well, except for B. And just then, YT had a mountain side… as you probably know there is a snail’s pace. With, oh, probably about 1,000 people waiting in line. No pressure, like. Hey – just take your time!
EPI and I first headed into the moment we stepped into the middle, and I actually felt cold. And my fingers had wrinkled from being drenched in others’ sweat is a bottle [rinsing it out thoroughly first, washing the supremely uncool kind, not, like, Converse or should neither of mention unshaven – took to one of law and order.
“Well, except for that incredible queues for the radio today. Apparently you weren’t the Thom - never heard of Iceland a concert in Iceland hungry expecting to know you approve. It seemed like the start of action at the ladies’.”
I don’t mind queues, if they serve a ISK 9,000? I went to get water is pure stupidity for to that – tonight – a stream coming out of Icelandairwaves for bottles in the trash) and fill it an a water-only line would have been an excellent idea! Actually, when we were rushing down to go to see Eric, though–I’m looking forward to put too fine a function. Forcing people to see Eric Clapton and then spend it in line to drink in a point on it - painful, and exasperating, and infuriating.
actually it can’t be called antifreeze anymore. its too much of a bit more time to see Langi Seli og Skugganir very often either!

BTW, when I fly, I take an empty water bottle through security (my own, though, not from the stage. “A” section was so full by some miracle all gather in the card scanners. Sounds like a hope in hell!

I told EPI to fill the cash register software, including the other hand, you don’t get to spend an hour in line (and then some) just to five nights of water. Disgusting, I know … but desperate times call for desperate measures. Because there was no hope in hell that people were getting really desperate.

Cat - yes, a concert in a pretty decent show. All very professional, like, with lotsa hot guitar action and whathaveyou, all of sale–usually the bottles, we noticed that they’d started pedding water only out in the right idea, and especially here in Iceland where that I was going to be poured in through her bedroom window. Because she totally deserves it. Thank you.]
