Volunteering at an extreme metal festival comes with some unusual COSHH considerations... Skål to my Midgardsblot family, and particularly the amazing volunteers and organisers! #midgardsblot2018
To paraphrase a half-remembered, second-hand quote: "The fantastic thing about hitchhiking is that the assholes just drive right past." Thank you to the fantastic people who picked me up, when I threw myself blind into the arms of the world.
Who recognises this graffiti? Classical fans might visit Beethoven's grave. Rock fans might see Hendrix' guitars in a museum somewhere. As a black metal fan, this was my pilgrimage: paying my respects at the temple Helvete, where it all took off, on my way to Midgardsblot.
Had to turn around after I got to the end of Europe again... I'm back out of the Arctic and have seen the sun set! It's amazing how much I missed proper darkness.
