So, spent the night on
So, spent the night on a Copenhagen pavement, at about 9 degrees Centigrade.
Arrived monday afternoon at around 1600, and spent the evening with my friends Pan, Jonas and Jens as well as Jon (a friend of a friend).
It wasn't as bad as we expected. I brought our 2 cinema chairs with us, and they were extremely comfy. We played Overthrown (some obscure card-game, with a rulebook with the size and comprehensibility of "The Silmarillion"). I won.
Lot's of visitors. Amongst them Kim (replacing Jens for a few hours) and bringing with him loads of piping hot home-made Lasagne (Insert appropriate superlatives), and San, my friend of Copenhagen Post fame.
We played Cranium, a simple, yet fun game mixing TP, Pictionary, a crossword puzzle, and humming karaoke. I should have won (with Kim).
It rained a little. We crept under the overhanf. It stopped raining.
We went to sleep, dressed in enormous amounts of sweaters, sleeping-bags and blankets. While the wind in my face was slightly chilly, in general I was very warm and comfortable.
We woke up, and more people dropped by with rolls and cheese (Lars), Danish Pastries (Signe) and piping coffee and home-baked croissants (Big Brother).
We were number 68-72 in the queue. At max. 8 tickets a person in a 1100 seater theatre, that meant decent tickets. And we got them. So while we are now looking forward to the 19th December at 01:00, last night was enjoyable in itself. We don't often get to spend time, relaxing, playing games and talking together. Especially not with Lasagne delivery of that quality.
Thanks to everyone who took part and brought us good things to eat.
And thanks also to the guys that made sure the queue was kept orderly and no line-skipping chaos broke out.
