excursion in Bodø

06.05.2003

It was time to be on saturday, the money we earned last saturday in Rognan was gone like snow in the sun for food, saunas and evening teas in the pubs...
In Bodø we discover the "glass House", a walking street and a commercial gallery.
Every ome in Bodø comes here to walk, shop and drink a coffee...
We was just in when came a lady, dressed in strange clothes, full of sponsors stickers.
Shirley seems to appreciate us very quickly and when she knows who we are,she fixed everythings for us, autorisations, appointment with the maire and with a journalist.
Thanks Shirley, introduced by her everythings was easy, we begin to play in front of a little people. An hour later we earned enough to to eat for the week and even to have some little "extras" like a pizza( not really viking style, but...) and to see a concert of three japanese girls playing punk music.
We also had to play for a wedding, Francois was tuning is bagpipe in a churchyard when he got this job...
We are supposed to be in Bodø the 16 May, and we`ll wait there to the 17th, the nationnal day to see the costumes and meet some people like the maire...
the 10th, saturday we set the ship to the sea, having a party in the afternoon, where everyone is welcome, and in the evening, we `ll play for a few song for an irish concert and dance after that...
