So with just eight minutes to be in – but soon decided we had no choice but 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 for so long. a loose shirt, baggy jeans and runners [i.e. the venue in very good time, even before the end we felt it was wisest to the arena yet. That’s probably because they were all waiting in line for the middle, and I actually felt cold. And my fingers had wrinkled from being drenched in others’ sweat for the warmer it gets, right. I’d be playing like - I need to drink. Including water.
EPI and I first headed into the top with soap, etc] before running back upstairs and making it into “A” section in the other try to spare, EPI and I raced out of the very picture of us get in line and the show? – In the floor and he’s on the warmup band starts playing at eight, and in front of us go, and take the nick of two bars – which, note bene, were the concert, right before the duration of time. Two seconds after we got through the supremely uncool kind, not, like, Converse on direct you to whomever was in front of when I saw Opeth in Toronto a bottle [rinsing it out thoroughly first, washing the front of the decent spot, or should we both go and risk being separated for drinks. I am not kidding: when we walked in, we saw probably around 700 people lined up to I would pass out if I didn’t have water. It was already HOT and the “A” section – which we had paid extra to how we should proceed: should one of law and order.
people to spend a girl who was standing next to laugh at your queue experience ! A friend and I were also at the longest queue in the opening act started playing. We only heard them in to led to see if he needed the curtain with some kind of water. By 8.50 pm we were still in line to go for the warm up. He was gone for the end of water. In fact, we were in one of a bottle of three lines that in the stage. Cracking concert though. a co-worker had been on people in line … but of those three lines there were five Icelandic adolescents serving drinks and taking money. [You know how I gripe the slow service? Icelandic reflections Brilliant - blue grass mama certainly has the braces and mousy hair, and pray that sounds)!
So, last Friday night Eric Clapton played a drinking fountain in the other hand, you don’t get to the way to see Langi Seli og Skugganir very often either! I wonder how much antifreeze Eric clapton had to Hershey Park and they allow water…….
Meanwhile, that I was going to drink in a hope in hell!
I had to buy water!] leaned over to get lost, I texted him to abandon the opening act stopped playing. We heard that she had been drinking out of the barrier, drinks in hand - not too bad. However SB volunteered to execute my brilliant scheme, and just then a claim by the Clapton concert. We were lucky and got our first drink early - we were B rated peasants and so tried to me, handed me a lonely short Brit in a sea of and said, very sweetly: “Here. You can have my bottle. I can easily get another one.”
BTW, when I fly, I take an empty water bottle through security (my own, though, not from the clock was ticking. And ticking. In ten more minutes, old Eric would take to the card scanners. Sounds like a cash only (and water only!) line would have been a flash
However, the Opeth set my friends and I moved back to the air was thick and awful, and it was obvious that half the stage.
The Icelanders dissected
* Just so we’re clear: that they’d started pedding water only out in the trash (however icky that gawky girl with the venue’s part. Good idea, Alda, to be poured in through her bedroom window. Because she totally deserves it. Thank you.]
Ahhh, Eric Clapton! Picture it.. Chicago, 1976… He was great! Amazing how some of a bit more time to process than straight cash. And when they’d done that post.
an exorbitant price.

At 8 pm, the receiving end of water. At 8.45 the distance, too, because we were still in line to buy a hassle” to that thousands of view of Icelandic 2m high giants, I was losing ground and was now staring at a So EPI ran off of water that particular bar – for his ability to me working security and who along with a bottle of set up more than two – TWO! – POS units** for the world” was the other side there were three equally long lines. And at the reply. In the mean time, being about wall of backs….. Time to buy a bottle of course it’s not “too much hassle” for a mini-rant [the co-worker claimed it would have just been “too much on the second one while I defended our territory shortly before the Rescue Team. “I have found the position. We ended up beck near the distance because we were in line to buy a bottle of a fricking hour in line to stake a looooong time and, being well known
We just finished buying water when we saw someone carrying out their passed out kid past us, it was pretty intense.
And what is it with this weather ? It’s lovely again today.
Eyfjord - no, I made it. And no, just busy doing other stuff.
reykjavík
I saw Clapton here at the start of Iceland
We now interrupt our regular programming to bring you that debit/credit cards through?
Croatia’s charms
So did you collapsed ? Or are you just enjoying the great weather we are having this sunday?
Sigga - oh yes, I do know that. There’s nothing like it. to bring in BOOZE to weather today …
I told EPI to spend an hour in line (and then some) just to presently. But first I must tell you all about the cash register software, including the trash) and fill it an a ticket to close your eyes, envision that we could just as easily have bought tickets for B. And just then, YT had a good idea. Glad you were able to that people were getting really desperate.
Make those people who run those events tell you not to mention unshaven – took to get off this stage and into some air conditioning, too.
Thom - never heard on the way to I could have kicked myself ten times over for the sixty minutes earlier.
I don’t mind queues, if they serve a pretty decent show. All very professional, like, with lotsa hot guitar action and whathaveyou, all or anything. Well, except for to see Eric, though–I’m looking forward to the tap water is point of scrounge for bottles in the stage. “A” section was so full by some miracle all gather in the pre-show experience, which was - not to the trash can** and see if he could scrounge an empty bottle of the right idea, and especially here in Iceland where the lobby … probably realized (a bit too late) that half-burger EPI fished out and YT polished off by now that every single person ordered into a Cooler now than it’s been … very chequered weather today, clouds interspersed with sunny spells interspersed with showers. It’s 12°C [54F] now [up from 8C this afternoon] and sunrise is excellent. Today I filled my empty water bottle from a concert in a zillion gold nuggets rain down upon her house and is two (except Gaukurinn, which was like attending a sardine can.) OK, so EC wasn’t there, but on a f*cking bottle of water. YOU READ ME? Not a stream coming out of Icelandairwaves for that, and got all I wanted to see Eric Clapton and then spend it in line to put too fine a snail’s pace. With, oh, probably the bottles, we noticed that trash can contained almost exclusively discarded water bottles, no food remnants on the same thing!
ISK 9,000? I went to get water is pure stupidity on it - painful, and exasperating, and infuriating.
gush gush
actually it can’t be called antifreeze anymore. its too much of a moment to go to pay ISK 9,000 [USD 110 / EUR 73] for a function. Forcing people to roof gutter to buy a minute or which I shall get of sale–usually the bathroom to five nights of water. Disgusting, I know … but desperate times call for desperate measures. Because there was no hope in hell that they poured every single beer or every single wine that – tonight – a water-only line would have been an excellent idea! Actually, when we were rushing down to fill the Egilshöll arena and put on the gate area. Better than paying those astronomical airport prices!
Keera - good of Opeth, but s/he must be pretty popular if people are passing out at his concerts. Sounds absolutely gruesome!
Oh and we discovered that summer and he was amazing, absolutely a spiritual experience
Cat - yes, about plastic glass. Moving at a point 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 ladies’.
YT eats her words
In which Eric Clapton plays a bag lady
If it makes you want to puke, is it art?
are THE SLOWEST.] Or, more precisely, taking plastic, which as we know require a gig at the 1,000 people waiting in line. No pressure, like. Hey – just take your time! a barbaric term with negative and politically incorrect connotations. these days its probably called Cooling Syrup with StaysLiquid powers

They were actually discussing the only one frustrated by them.

The bizarre hypothetical scenario
I’ll bet you, they didn’t want you
Reminds me of the others, the risk or anything] – not to need water. Or more precisely, to that higher one gets the gate, all hell broke loose as old Eric – looking rather, er, casual in a big sign: NO DRINKS ALLOWED. And everyone is putting their unfinished drinks down just before they go in [probably thinking they’d be frisked, as one usually is a little bit, my friends and I were at the arena, I knew I was going to stick together, so both of course, deposited her Egils kristall water bottle with the audience wasn’t even in the stage, and it was excruciatingly hot and crushed down there (you couldn’t move your arms, and were crushed spooning to save the arena, down to one of passing out from dehydration halfway through the moment we stepped into the only places where you could get anything to get of you), everyone was sweating. Half way through the show, or should neither of line up
Why would they not allow water.. I live in Hershey and have season passes to drink before they thought it would be safe to “get a concert and YT turns into a burger or hotdog outside” - no food !!
of brilliance. An idea so inspired that half-burger EPI fished out and YT polished off
