19/5 - Dúné concert

I woke up in the morning at 9 to get rid of some of the beer cans from the party, when I met Christina (David's Danish girlfriend), who was sleeping in Jorges room with David while Jorge still was in town. After she went into the room, I decided to take a little nap, and then went back to the kitchen to continue cleaning. Later Greg showed up and helped med with the cleaning, and soon we were done. At 12 we ate some late breakfast/lunch outside when David & Christina came out to say goodbye, because they had to prepare themselves for a grill party later that evening.

Then I went up to my room to relax before going to a concert with the up and coming band Dúné in the evening at the Student House. I wrote to my old friend Søren (who coincidentally is a part of their management group), if he was coming, but sadly he couldn't come, but he hoped that I would enjoy the concert. I decided to go to the Student House at 19.30 and waited until the doors to the concert were opened. At 21.00 it began with the group Charlie Don't Surf, who served as the warm-up band, and they did a decent job. After they were finished, there were a short break before Dúné finally arrived on stage, but it was worth the wait. Seriously it was a great concert: their live show was great, they had lots of energy and I could go on (although there were some technical problems and we didn't get an extra track). After the concert ended, I decided to go home, but I had certainly something to tell Søren the next day...

18/5 - (end of) Spring Party at Hvidkildevej!

This Friday was a day we all were waiting for. We had planned the party for some time, so we had planned to use the afternoon to buy some stuff: chips & popcorn, red wine, soft drinks, fruit and sugar for some sangria, that Jorge wanted to make, and some other stuff. So we thought that we all were going to do some shopping, but we were so wrong!!
Jimmy was doing some work for the project, and wasn't home at 17.00 (the time that we were going), but actually he was sleeping and couldn't hear the knocking at his door.
Martin was also working...
Lars was at a Friday Bar
and last, but not least: the little guy known as Chris(tian)
So Greg, Jorge and I went on our own to Fakta and Spar to do some shopping, and Greg decided to call Chris. We found out that he was at his parents' place around Skive, and he had to be at a first aid course the next day, so he couldn't come!! Greg & Jorge were very disappointed because that Chris was more than willing to make the party happen.... but we went on and bought the necessary stuff.

After some dinner we made the last preparations for the party, and even got a shower before the first guests arrived. The first guests arrived around 20.15, and they were all Polish, and around 20.40 the first girls arrived. At first there weren't many guests, but as time went by more and more guests came to the party. And at one point Mads joined the party. As a kind of "punishment" people were drawing on Chris' window, so I wonder what his first reaction will be when he comes back...

The party went on and on, although some of the guests left early to go to the Street... bah! Jimmy also managed to get a bit drunk, so he went to bed at some point. At some point some neighbours showed up for a short while before they left, but one of them surely won't be forgotten by Greg - at least not for a while!

But eventually the party ended when the last guests left at 4.15, and Jorge at the same time took a taxi to the Street... some Spaniards surely are wierd!!

One of them was definitely drunk. Decide for yourselves who it is!

12/5 - Drunk... yeah!!

Most of the day I used to recover from a party with the bowling club the day before, because I was invited to come to a birthday party at some friend's place. But I should come in the evening because that the others were going to eat dinner, but it didn't stop me from making my own dinner. After taking a nice shower, I was ready to go at 20.15, so I could catch the bus.

I arrived around 21.00 and met my friends, who actually had leftovers from their dinner, so they actually gave me what's left!! After a while I was able to eat the leftovers and started to drink beers, shots and vodka drinks (3/4 of vodka and 1/4 of Sprite!). Around midnight we were all very drunk, and some of us were fighting just for fun, before going to town around 1.30. We then arrived at the Street and quickly went into Saltlageret and met two girls. But slowly the fun disintegrated as my friends left one by one, until we only were three left, and I couldn't find the others, so after one hour of searching, I decided to go home... not the greatest way to end a party!

27/4 - Grill Party!!

This Friday was nice and sunny, and when I came back from the university, I found Christian, Jimmy & Jorge sitting outside enjoying the sun with a beer, so I decided to join in. A beer or two later we decided to have a barbecue, and when were about to go to Dreisler (now a part of the "new" SuperBest chain) after some food and beer, we found some of our neighbours at nr. 4 and asked them if they wanted to join us, and of course they did. After coming back from Dreisler, i noticed that Mads had tried to contact me, so I called him and said if he wanted to join us, and about 30 minutes later he came. Later both Greg & Martin came home, so now most of the house were there for the grill party.

The barbecue itself was nice and relaxing, and there were some discussions - especially after that Lars came back from a Friday Bar. Around 23.00 the grill party was over (the neighbours left quite early to watch a movie, Mads left to get some sleep, and Greg & Christian went to the Friday Bar at the C.W. Obel collegium. I decided to watch Batman Begins, but I was to tired and went to sleep to the sounds of Jorges Spanish friends coming from the kitchen....

21/4 - Bowling for Holstebro?

No, it doesn't have anything to do with the famous documentary Bowling for Columbine, guns or anything - but this blog entry DOES have something to do with the wonderful sport of tenpin bowling and the boring city of Holstebro. So here's the story...

It started one early Saturday morning when I woke up and prepared myself to get to the bowling center because of I said yes to come to Holstebro to watch the playoffs in both the men's and women's best bowling league. Because the two teams from Aalborg weren't my club, I was the only one from my club who were going (although there were many who were former members of my club). We left at 8.00 and arrived in Holstebro two hours later. The two teams (a men's team and a women's team) were playing against a very tough opponent in the semifinals, and they both lost in the end.

During the break there was this nice buffet at which I enjoyed pretty much. Before the finals started i met my homeboy from Copenhagen Cornelio, who were supporting his club (both their men's and women's teams came through to the finals).

Around two hours later the arrangement was over, and it was time to go home. The trip was very long because of we started to drink beers and alcohol - and therefore had to take some breaks to take a p***. We were back at the bowling center around 22.30, and most of them went home. The rest of us went to a pub, but then we decided to go to town, and later again decided to go home. And I finally came home at midnight!

14/4 - Painting Time!!!!

After getting some sleep, I woke up around 7.30 and immediately got some weird messages. It turned out that a friend's little sister was curious about my origin, which was OK. I took a bus around 9.20 and went to a friend's place, where we picked up another and drove to Hals (a town to the north-east of Aalborg), where 5-6 of my friends have bought a summer residence, where we started to paint the house (I was there two times before to paint other parts of the house). We bought some grey color, which looked great, and when we stopped around 18.00, we managed to paint more than half the house!

We then decided to drive to another friend's place near the little city of Støvring, while we were listening to the nice football match between AaB and Brøndby on the radio, but we never managed to hear the final result before we arrived there. But we found out that our friend wasn't at work, so we just drove home. Before being dropped off, I saw some smoke coming up and someone who was using a grill, so I thought that my flatmates were doing that, but I found out that our neighbours were outside. I met Christian, who was injured because of a football match that he participated in the day before. He also told that Brøndby lost 2-3 to AaB, so that was a nice result. After some time I decided to go to the neighbours, who I met for the first time. I stayed there for a few hours until around 1.30, when we all decided to go to sleep.

13/4 - Trivial Pursuit

First of all: I'm sorry that I haven't written anything the last month; either I didn't have time or forgot about it... but now I'm back!!!
And now on to the subject: There was this Trivial Pursuit tournament at my faculty, and I wanted to win it, so I teamed up with my good friend Mads, because there had to be 2 or 3 persons in your team... but the opposition was hard... several persons from the 6. semester were participating, but my spirit was high at that time. Around 13.30 the tournament finally began. There were 2 preliminary rounds, where me and Mads was at one of them. But it didn't go particularly well, and we didn't get through to the final. If it was because of it was Friday the 13th, we will never know... but the team that went through from our table won the entire tournament, so we were just unlucky.
After the tournament ended, we just sat and drank some beer. Still a little upset I tried to play some Trivial Pursuit with another partner against another team just for fun, but it ended with a draw when one of the opponents went home....
After some more drinking and some dinner, we went to the Friday Bar at the C.W. Obel collegium. For me it was the first time I went there for a month, but I saw many familiar faces, and later that evening many from the 6th semester arrived at the Friday Bar, so we enjoyed ourselves until most of them left around 3.00. At 3.30 I decided to go home to sleep, so I could be ready for the next day...

A lot of pictures were taken that day - not just from my mobile phone!
