Varg Veum

On Thursday evening we went to a film premier, as you do.

It was the premier for the new Varg Veum film, Skriften På Veggen, which is the seventh installment in a series of films based on the books written by Gunnar Staalesen (three of which have been translated to English - have any of you read them?).

Having never been to a film premier before, I found it all rather exciting in a very humble sort of way. It was lovely really - the audience were all given cups of fish soup to ward off the cold, and the people involved with making the film wandered freely through the crowd and seemed quite chuffed with the whole affair.

On the way back to the tram after the premier, we stopped by the Garage, a rock club where they're currently hosting the Hole In The Sky festival, a 5-day death metal-ish festival that I didn't fancy, but we thought it'd be fun to check out the crowd.

Us outside the Garage (dunno why I look so bewildered!), and you can just see Gunnar Sauermann from Metal Hammer Germany above Sara's head - exciting stuff! I'll have to read his review when he writes it :)
