It's the inside that counts

Here are pictures from the arenas, as they will look inside. By demand from IA who quite rightly demanded this info before forming an opinion about the stadiums.

Trading soul for comfort?

Across the world new stadiums pop up at an incredible pace. Just here in little sweden pretty much all the top clubs have new stadiums on the way, or at the very least serious reconstruction and modernisation of the old. Göteborg has it's new Gamla Ullevi and I must say that while I will miss the old stadium I realize that it's pure nostalgia. It was a rotten stadium and not fit for GAIS. But is new always the way to go?

Did not Arsenal loose a huge part of it's identity when they left Highbury?
Or am I just stuck in my ways and unwilling to accept change?

I think the answer lies in the fact that I love all the new stadiums that are beeing built as long as it's not my team that's affected. Surfed around on World Stadiums today and picked out some of my favourite projects. Here is what we have to look forward to in the coming years:

Here is Spartak Moscow's new stadium:

Portsmouth has this fantastic creation to look forward to:

But my favourite is Valencia's new masterpiece:

Hellsongs

I know some disagree but it must be said. Hellsongs are really sweet. Their laid back soft version of Orgasmatron for instance, brilliant. As is Run to the Hills and Paranoid. The Trooper is great as is most of their versions of some of the best rock songs ever written.

If you have no idea who Hellsongs are, they are a band from Göteborg that transforms hardrock legends to their own sweet versions. With a singer whose voice just simply makes me fall in love with her, it's so great.

Check 'em out!

Poker madness

We had ourself a pokernight the other day, me, Packe, the Pokernator and the Joker.
As you can see Robert, aka The Joker, was a very gracious winner in the second game of the evening. But honors were distributed evenly this night with both Andreas, aka the Pokernator, and TSO winning a game each. But not everyone can be a winner, eh Packe? ;)

Well better luck next time. Poker at Packe, home field advantage decides it then?

The Life We Live - MMS style

I had the idea that the life you live could be reflected in the mms's you recive on your phone.
So to put that to the test I will from time to time publish the photos people send me.
No, don't worry, there will not be any "sensitive" photos shown, just from everyday life among my friends.

Here is the first batch, that I had in my phone right now:

From a concert with the great band Mustasch.
Don't know them? Download albums
"After All" and "The Latest Version Of The Truth".

Litovel, a favourite draft at our favourite beer place - "3 Små Rum"

A friend found a cool beer. As is customary, ha shared the discovery.

What to say? It's a snake gulping down a mouse.

It is awsome.

Our latest trip to the bookie resulted in 11 out of 13 correct results.

This is the cupon.

New years eve. Skating at the central ice rink at Heden.
A friend found a GAIS-shirt out there.

Naturally a mms occation.

That's all for now, keep sending me pictures though. Not only are they fun to get, they might qualify for blog fame!
