My best friend, Veronica, and I were running from concert to concert yesterday too. But this post is mainly about glasses and a hot dog. I wore my glasses yesterday. I see better with them. That’s why I have glasses. My sight is not that bad, so I don’t have to wear them to function in society, but I should use them permanently. Still I generally try to avoid wearing them around drunk people. I always get some weird remarks from people who think they are just a fashion statement and have no real function, and it annoys me. But since yesterday was all about music, and I like to see as much as possible at a concert, I did wear my glasses. Confident.

When lounging for some minutes after a bunch of concerts I told Veronica about these remarks I usually get. We agreed that these drunk people are stupid, and that my glasses are really nice and frame my face in a good way. Then she went to the ladies’ room, and I went to buy us a hot dog to share. A minute later I come running into the ladies’ room with a hot dog in hand to tell Veronica this story through the walls:

Hot dog guy: What do you want?
Me: Well, I want a hot dog – I will just check if I have enough cash.
Hot dog guy: I will give you the hot dog for free. Just because you have such nice glasses.

If I get free stuff, then I can handle the stupid remarks.

Veronica and me at By:Larm last year. I am the one with the glasses, obviously.

Yesterday’s concerts:

• Hafdis Huld (ICL). She needs to practice her English pronunciation, but a funny girl, cute songs.
• Humming People (N). Charming, energetic boys. Straight forward rock.
• Forza (N). They made two very hungover girls dance, scream and shout at an early hour. Highlight! Hip Hop/Balkan/Folk/Latin.
• Kathinka (N). From what I heard – very good. Glasses no help when tall people are standing in front of me.
• Manna (FIN). Charismatic vocalist, very enjoyable concert.
• The Pink Robots (N). “Hello. My name is Macintosh”. Fun!
• Asha Ali (SWE). Talented girl with a great voice and some catchy tunes made Mono extremely crowded and hot hot hot.
• Cacadou (N). Crazy ol’ Norwegians with clarinet, accordion, banjos++. Made me dance funny.
• [ingenting] (SWE). We saw [nothing]. We ate hot dog instead.
