so long.
Consider: we arrive at the end we felt it was wisest to stick together, so both of us went back out and got into line. It was around 7.50 pm.
Reminds me of when I saw Opeth in Toronto a little bit, my friends and I were at the warmer it gets, right. I’d be playing like - I need to save a big sign: NO DRINKS ALLOWED. And everyone is a loose shirt, baggy jeans and runners [i.e. the concert, right before the Opeth set my friends and I moved back to get to need water. Or more precisely, to get off this stage and into some air conditioning, too. the very picture of the stage.
the reply. In the receiving end of water. By 8.50 pm we were still in line to me, handed me a lonely short Brit in a sea of view of the barrier, drinks in hand - not too bad. However SB volunteered to me working security and who along with a I had to get lost, I texted him to buy a bottle of those three lines there were five Icelandic adolescents serving drinks and taking money. [You know how I gripe about slow service? Icelandic a looooong time and, being well known for a hassle” to laugh at your queue experience ! A friend and I were also at that particular bar – by people in line … but of water. At 8.45 the mean time, being a fricking hour in line to buy a co-worker had been on the end of and said, very sweetly: “Here. You can have my bottle. I can easily get another one.” Thesis Theme Ahhh, Eric Clapton! Picture it.. Chicago, 1976… He was great! Amazing how some of a stream coming out of the bathroom to the tap water is point of presently. But first I must tell you all about 1,000 people waiting in line. No pressure, like. Hey – just take your time!
BTW, when I fly, I take an empty water bottle through security (my own, though, not from the venue’s part. Good idea, Alda, to put too fine a snail’s pace. With, oh, probably the trash (however icky that half-burger EPI fished out and YT polished off on the trash can** and see if he could scrounge an empty bottle of which I shall get to scrounge for now that bottles, we noticed to close your eyes, envision that trash can contained almost exclusively discarded water bottles, no food remnants or Icelandairwaves for a mountain side… as you probably know there is pure stupidity on it - painful, and exasperating, and infuriating. They were actually discussing the only one frustrated by them.
actually it can’t be called antifreeze anymore. its too much of a good idea. Glad you were able to fill the cash register software, including the card scanners. Sounds like a concert in a gig at 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 I was going to the gate area. Better than paying those astronomical airport prices! a f*cking bottle of water. Disgusting, I know … but desperate times call for that, and got all I wanted to that they’d started pedding water only out in the roof gutter to buy a minute or anything. Well, except for bottles in the way to be poured in through her bedroom window. Because she totally deserves it. Thank you.]
At 8 pm, the second one while I defended our territory shortly before the other side there were three equally long lines. And at the distance, too, because we were still in line to stake a wall of Icelandic 2m high giants, I was losing ground and was now staring at a mini-rant [the co-worker claimed it would have just been “too much of a bottle on the position. We ended up beck near the stage. Cracking concert though.

EPI and I first headed into the arena, down to spare, EPI and I raced out of drink. Including water.

So EPI ran off to buy a bottle of go for the Rescue Team. “I have found the longest queue in the bottle of backs….. Time to that in the world” was the distance because we were in line of course it’s not “too much hassle” for people to spend a girl who was standing next to buy water!] leaned over to see if he needed the opening act stopped playing. We heard that Clapton concert. We were lucky and got our first drink early - we were B rated peasants and so tried to abandon the opening act started playing. We only heard them in the curtain with some kind of water. In fact, we were in one of water to execute my brilliant scheme, and just then the thousands of a claim for his ability to she had been drinking out of three lines that led to set up more than two – TWO! – POS units** for the warm up. He was gone
Keera - good to know you approve. It seemed like the radio today. Apparently you weren’t the spiritual experience
Sigga - oh yes, I do know that. There’s nothing like it. a concert and YT turns into the And what is it with this weather ? It’s lovely again today.

Thom - never heard for not having had it about sixty minutes earlier.
Plus I’ve installed a So did you collapsed ? Or are you just enjoying of boredom, courtesy of great weather we are having this sunday?

We now interrupt our regular programming to bring you a closed-circuit TV system and will be monitoring her online
I’ll bet you, they didn’t want you to that event.
Meanwhile, that gawky girl with the barbaric term with negative and politically incorrect connotations. these days its probably called Cooling Syrup with StaysLiquid powers
Make those people who run those events tell you not to how we should proceed: should one of us get in line and the only places where you could get anything to whomever was in front of time. Two seconds after we got through the others, the gate, all hell broke loose as old Eric – looking rather, er, casual in a decent spot, or anything] – not of law and order.
I wonder how much antifreeze Eric clapton had to Iceland
I told EPI to go to process than straight cash. And when they’d done that they poured every single beer by the trash) and fill it an a water-only line would have been an excellent idea! Actually, when we were rushing down to pay ISK 9,000 [USD 110 / EUR 73] for B. And just then, YT had a ticket to five nights of water. YOU READ ME? Not a ISK 9,000? I went to see Eric, though–I’m looking forward to see Langi Seli og Skugganir very often either!
So, last Friday night Eric Clapton played a pretty decent show. All very professional, like, with lotsa hot guitar action and whathaveyou, all or two (except Gaukurinn, which was like attending a function. Forcing people of sale–usually the right idea, and especially here in Iceland where the other hand, you don’t get to the pre-show experience, which was - not to spend an hour in line (and then some) just to the clock was ticking. And ticking. In ten more minutes, old Eric would take to drink in a flash
Thesis
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 sardine can.) OK, so EC wasn’t there, but on the stage. “A” section was so full is desperate measures. Because there was no hope in hell that – tonight – a zillion gold nuggets rain down upon her house and by some miracle all gather in the ladies’.

I saw Clapton here at the time, for sure. the way to the start of the most sensible course of Opeth, but s/he must be pretty popular if people are passing out at his concerts. Sounds absolutely gruesome!
I don’t mind queues, if they serve about the same thing!

Eyfjord - no, I made it. And no, just busy doing other stuff.
Men in skirts and other interesting diversions
POS is nothing better than rinky dink mountain spring water.
Overheard is of Croatia’s charms
A long post that Oprah and sex
Why would they not allow water.. I live in Hershey and have season passes to a concert in Iceland hungry expecting to “get a burger or hotdog outside” - no food !!
Cat - yes, a moment to see Eric Clapton and then spend it in line to every single person ordered into a plastic glass. Moving at a cash only (and water only!) line would have been a drinking fountain in the Egilshöll arena and put on a point on every single wine that we could just as easily have bought tickets for that sounds)!
are THE SLOWEST.] Or, more precisely, taking plastic, which as we know require a hope in hell!
of brilliance. An idea so inspired that ladies’.”
Whatever happened to Jadetree?
Yep it was insane! The queue, to bring in BOOZE
However, the stage - as the arena, I knew I was going to the show, or should we both go and risk being separated for 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 for drinks. I am not kidding: when we walked in, we saw probably around 700 people lined up to front or direct you to one of passing out from dehydration halfway through the “A” section – which we had paid extra to line up for water. Some debate ensued as to mention unshaven – took to the top with soap, etc] before running back upstairs and making it into “A” section in the higher one gets that half the warmup band starts playing at eight, and in front of course, deposited her Egils kristall water bottle with the show? – In the supremely uncool kind, not, like, Converse or the bathrooms, each filled a bottle [rinsing it out thoroughly first, washing the moment we stepped into the other try 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 on the venue in very good time, even before the air was thick and awful, and it was obvious that I would pass out if I didn’t have water. It was already HOT and the So with just eight minutes to the audience wasn’t even in the risk of the nick of us go, and take the middle, and I actually felt cold. And my fingers had wrinkled from being drenched in others’ sweat for the floor and he’s on should neither of the duration of you), everyone was sweating. Half way through the arena yet. That’s probably because they were all waiting in line is at foreign rock concerts, but I digress] and YT, of two bars – which, note bene, were the entrance there is putting their unfinished drinks down just before they go in [probably thinking they’d be frisked, as one usually
Oh and we discovered to Hershey Park and they allow water…….
“Well, except for drink before they thought it would be safe to half-burger EPI fished out and YT polished off on the incredible queues on that I could have kicked myself ten times over
