Borknagar to play Screamfest 08 - Page 3

Astral and Arcane · February 21st, 2008, 05:40 AM

hey all, first time poster, long time reader.
I'm really hoping to go to this, so i have a few question.

What is the weather like in November. (I'm from Brisbane, Australia so I know I will freeze to death, but it will be worth it.)
Also, where is a good place to stay in Oslo?
How expensive are things in general? (food, transport, what is the public transport like?)

Looking forward to some of this

Well I can tell you it'll be a lot colder than Australia. I assume it will be snowing by November, since Oslo isn't that far south.. though I have no idea.

Doesn't usually snow in November I think, but it'd be pretty chilly still. Just get the warmest pieces of clothing you have, and just check a few days before you leave to see the weather forecast. Either way just pack some warm clothing and at least something waterproof. As for prices, shit is expensive, if you're planning to indulge in food and drink then make sure you take a lot of money with you. Transport is usually fairly cheap last I checked (at least compared to England) Only thing I was told to avoid was Taxis, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to get the bus or even walk around Oslo anyway.

A few people on here recommended accommodation in Oslo for my trip in May, I'll try and dig up what they gave me and a few from the tour guides I have.
Or be totally kvlt and just camp out in the forests.

You'd need permission for that, unless you're going far outside of Oslo.

I was joking really, as metal as it'd be camping out in the forests of Norway, I prefer the warmth of a bed.

I knew Bork was going to make a tour this year!!!

I'm so happy I will cry:

Anyways, most of you know me, I was Lil' Bloodred, your favourite Costa Rican friend

I decided to delete my other account and create this one, so well, I'm back!

not exactly a tour, it's more like a one-off festival gig.
and why don't you use the other username?

I believe it gave a certain image of myself and which made people dislike and look contemptuously at me.

Also, DT forum members were "rather" mean to me, so in a way it's a way to let go of that forum (though, as dumb as I am I'll probably make a post there again, even though I know I shouldn't

).

It's also to keep things fresh you know, picture it like "a new beginning."

^ Same story for me, haha. I'm such a sucker for running away from my past.

Rivfadír · February 21st, 2008, 06:38 PM

Meh, I never even used this nick anywhere else than here, and I wish I could change it. I just love my postcount too much to start a new one
