Within the first hour of the festival we met a guy who was so racist that he didn't want any non-Germans near his camp and told us to go somewhere else. Wearing an Absurd T-shirt, of course

OH FFS. I hope you guys told him where to go.

With our dear friends from the NPD, it's gonna be "Rumble in the Leipzig" tomorrow, actually. Usually it's the fascists who organise some demonstration and then everyone just stands in their way, telling them to fuck off. But tomorrow, The Antifa has organised a protest against what the NPD calls their "citizen office" not far from where I live. A lot of weird stuff has been going on there in the past three years, including combat training, fascist concerts and foreigners/alternative people being attacked. Usually I would join that protest without hesitating, but since it's the Antifa, trouble is sort of implied in the whole thing, and there's gonna be heavy police presence. I guess I'll go and have a look from the distance first.

Not even Swedes? Aren't Scandinavians the Übermenschen for these people?
And on a festival? It's not like you moved there.

Oh well, looking for reason in extreme parties, what am I thinking?

We weren't even camping next to him, just talking and drinking with some of his friends.

Still some cool people there, though. And we saw reenactors pounding on each other with blunt weapons for about an hour. Don't see that every day.

yea really i always heard scandinavians gave white power types major hard ons.
i went up to a place called lake george for a long weekend last week and will put up pics tomorrow.its a well known getaway spot where i live,and has some overpriced touristy stuff,but some real beautiful raw(ish) nature as well.basically a thin lake that runs north/south for about 25 miles in the foothills of the adirondack mountains,it is defenitely different than what i am used to.went looking for falcons and eagles,but no such luck-made freinds with a cute little nut hatch though.

Majorly wrong topic, but come on, it suits so well

If you don't know where to travel next year, here's an idea:

[Aldhissla]

Good idea! I bet they have some great restaurants there (I made you a fish god cult - but I eated it!). Here's directions for ye; grab your copy of the Necronomicon, take the next Shoggoth that stops near your place and off you go!

Shit, what an expensive location R'lyeh would be - if I wanted to get there by plane, it would mean to change major flights at least twice. Several thousand euro worth of aeroplane tickets (I am quite sure, because not so long ago I felt optimistic and looked for connections to the Eastern Island, which is more north but equally isolated, and reality was quite grim - I'll have to save years worth of (extra) money to travel there).

And even if you want to travel by boat (which I don't), you still need to get to South America. Shitty for us Europeans.

One of my friends has put up a videomix of our journey through Eastern Europe earlier this year. 14 days of travel in 4 minutes.

looks like fun- i want to do the flaming head shots.which one are you?Ukranian food is good,ive been to a ukranian resteraunt here-the borscht is hot and tastes great.
and i hope you tipped the guy in the train station!applause is nice but doesnt pay the bills.

Oh, it was awesome! Best trip ever! And especially Kiev and those shots (they were called traffic light). I'm the redhead with the burning helmet.

Ukrainian food was surprisingly good! And Kiev was surprisingly pleasant - we had least expectations on it, and now we're planning to go back there next year as well. Prague on the other hand sucked.

I never saw that guy! Per and Fredrik stayed a few hours longer than the rest of us, while they flew back to Sweden instead of taking the train. I do hope they tipped him though.
