I'm clearly travelling again!

...because I never update when I stay home. Heck, I barely update status on LazyFace. I'm not lazy enough for Twitter.

Currently in the G102 gate area at SFO, waiting for the flight to Copenhagen. Actual destination is Bayreuth, in Bavaria, for the Wagner Festival, but the SAS flight into Denmark was about a thousand bucks less than any connection I could get into Germany, so more than covers the train ride (plus, I love trains). Added advantage, my friend Erling said "come a few days early and stay with me, it's Pride Week!" So that works out wonderfully. I even made a crochet masterpiece as a hospitality gift for him! No pictures yet since it's a surprise for him, I'll put up pix after he gets it.

Next stop, Copenhagen! And since I've already seen the Little Mermaid, Copenhagen's equivalent of SF's Alcatraz, I can go farther afield in the tourism department. Something exotic like Tivoli Gardens perhaps. We'll soon know!

Have a wonderful time! They're opening a production of "Phantom of the Opera" in Stockholm soon. Some of my friends are there helping put it together!

I'd like to visit Denmark some day!

Denmark is wonderful! A place one could imagine living, though you'd get rid of your car and get a bike if you did that.

Judging by the ads I've seen, it looks like Hamburg is the regional capital of English/American musicals, with Lion King and Aladdin running alongside that Phantom sequel, can't remember its name...

If you should run across him, say hello to Søren, who I sadly missed when he was in SF/Berkeley last month.

Missed him too -- though Erling & Johan talked to him at the party they went to (and that I skipped because I had to get up so early to catch the train). I don't think I've met Søren, but I feel like I have because we have about a zillion friends in common.
