It was nice seeing all of you guys again.
I made it home safely, but not before that happened :

At the Betty Beavers truck stop, about 20 miles south of Plattsburgh.
Quite the truck stop.

Tell me there will be lady shirts for the ladies to look sexy in a sexy shirt.

Linde, I am in love with you.
Can we have many babies together and make chipmusic a better looking place?

But I CAN'T! Girls aren't allowed on teh internets! D:

It's alright : I *AM* an old lady.
Also, Jellica, I posted a picture of my Guinea pig in the cat thread :3
Notorious P.I.G. is a cutie!

My cat Carmen. We look just the same, to the point my dad calls my cat by my name 50% of the time. A pic of me with her would be redundant.

For any travel : make sure you take an extra set of clothes in your cabin bag. My aunt found the hard way that people don't wear undies in Bangladesh, but rather some sort of diaper-like cloth they wrap around their crotch. (OK, that won't happen to you in Denmark, but you get my point, and I love that story.)

RE : customs, if both countries are in the Euro zone it doesn't apply (I know they don't use Euros there, but check what are Finland & Denmark's laws/agreement/etc and/or if they are "Euro zone" regarding workers and customs) If they are not, they might have some sort of special arrangement like Canada and the U.S. have. OK my whole point here is this : if you are getting paid anything, you might be working illegally if you don't have a work permit/visa. Now, you might want to lie at customs, but if you get caught, you most definitely face jail time and being banned from entering said country for a very long period of time. If you tell the truth, you might be denied entry in the country. In most countries you are allowed to work for 3 to 6 months without a visa, but better safe than sorry, right? You probably want to get in touch with the organizers regarding those issues. Apart from that, you shouldn't have to "explain your gear" at customs, but I have seen some zealous custom officers, so you never know. Wear nice clothes, don't booze up too much on the plane, and be ready to explain whatever you do for a living/over there in Denmark in simple words your grandmother would easily understand, and keep your return ticket in an easily accessible place and be ready to show it. If you take prescription medication, keep them in the original containers, and if possible get a copy of the prescription from your pharmacist or better yet, a letter from your doctor listing all your medication and medical reasons for them (it saved my ass in a major way at U.S. customs once). If you are bringing non-prescription medication, make sure it's non-prescription over there too.

One last thing : if you've never been there, always count twice the transit time for everything. For instance, if people tell you it's "a 30 minutes metro trip", plan an hour. If it's a 5 minutes walk, plan 10, etc... You'll always be sure to arrive on time even if a metro line is suddenly not running or if you get lost and need to ask for directions. You don't want to get stressed with transit on your big night. Oh, and keep "trying that weird smelling typical regional dish with surprise-meat" for the next day, too.
