50K Before Wacken 2012

I thought I already had 8 pages of my paper but it's hardly even 6 of which two are the cover and the index I guess I'll really need to start working on it now since I wanted to have sent it in by tomorrow

Nope, I haven't got the slightest idea. As I said, all the residents in Wacken sell stuff during the festival. Some sell beers, some food, others showers.

A temporary fence separated their back yard from Camp A. At 7am they'd start selling tea/coffee/snacks and played the same Metallica album every morning except for Sunday I've got a picture of it on Facebook.

And what's this selling of showers you speak of? Is it different to the communal showers that I refused to use?

 

[Alix]

I think I've never seen that in English before

I bet the jokes make more sense now

I didn't get myself to work the days before because my rhythm was totally screwed up and I can't start working in the middle of the night. When I finally got my rhythm back, my friends started harrassing me about going outside because of the awesome weather we had the past 3 days or something...

Yea, they'll offer you to shower in their house for roughly 2 euros. At least some do. Just look at the signs they put up on their houses or in their yards

Cheers for the tip. I could handle cleaning myself with baby wipes for 4 days but I couldn't handle not washing my hair for that long. When I got back to my hotel in Hamburg I was in the shower for literally an hour.

Not at all, they had a pretty good translation of it in German, I actually think the joke is stronger in German They knew how to do a good humorous translation back then... you can also see that with the Leslie Nielsen, Bud Spencer, Hot shots and other simliar movies

Anyway, today I got up at a decent time, let the weather in by opening the window, I even have some nice popsicles, so let's get to work

Baby wipes are awesome. Very useful.

Ah cool. I'd be interested to learn how it translates

I am so packing dry shampoo this year. I'd never even heard of the stuff until I went to Bloodstock. By the end of the festival I forgot for a few minutes that I hadn't bathed in 4 days. It was the mud all over my clothes that gave it away

So you've used it? Is it really like actually washing your hair?

I've heard of it but it's hard to believe it works as well as it sounds.

Yeah I first borrowed some at the festival, then I finally found a shop that supplies it near my place. It's pretty much compressed starch (usually rice) and fragrance in a can, so it's not quite like washing your hair, but the starch absorbs excess oils so your hair feels less shitty. You spray it in your hair, massage the hair/scalp a bit then you brush it out after a few minutes.

Interesting. Might as well try it next time I'm in Europe.

I sure hope I can bring some in my luggage. I don't want to attempt finding some when I'm there because the only place I've seen it here is in a pharmacy warehouse.

I don't see why not. As long as it's not liquid.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be allowed to pack it in my carry-on luggage and that it had nothing to do with the new laws regarding liquids on planes.
