A long way to go

The year was 2001. It was a long journey to go by van all the way from LA to Nevada, where the Burning Man Festival is held in the beginnning of September every year. This is a very special event! My journey was even longer: I came all the way from Northern Norway in order to go there...

Hi Norway!! Well, I have been thinking about the strange ways of dark and light up there. A link would be greatly appreciated, and any recommendations on good hotels in the Tromso area... planning a vacation this year, and Norway seems to be it !!

I was also told of a hotel carved from ice... is this correct?
and thanks for the reply.... enjoy the dark!!!

Wow!! This is great! Takk!!!
I do appreciate it!!! I can now do some research... thanks again!

Ice Queen 14.01.01 12:03
glad you liked it. journalism and research has been my job for 20 years and that's probably why I like the web so much.

Noosphere 14.01.01 12:04
you are a journalist!!! how great!!! yes, the web makes perfect sense for
you.... and Thanks for adding me!

Noosphere 14.01.01 12:11
and you are in Tromso.... very cool.

Ice Queen 14.01.01 12:13
actually I am a television director, but I do all kind of things related to it. bad things with my facination for the web is that my elbow and handlinks are infected ..?! don't know what its, but its rather common among users. so I'm not allowed to write or surfe much.

Noosphere 14.01.01 12:14
carpal tunnel syndrome..... bummer... I have a touch of that too....I am a programmer...it is an occupational hazard. Your English is quite
excellent!!
So you are in the biz then.... cool.

time to sleep soon.
but first. what is GOA trance?

15.01.01 23:18 Noosphere
Goa trance..... electronic music.... made with synthesizers and samplers... Goa India was a big center for it back in the early nineties....

15.01.01 23:23 Ice Queen
I know trance, which is a rather popular trend in Norway, even a big article in the newspaper today. And I know Goa since I stayed there for a month or so - a long time ago

but the musical connection was unfamiliar to me...

15.01.01 23:24 Noosphere
the british press named it i think...after a big festival down there....
so the trance scene is active in Norway?

15.01.01 23:29 Ice Queen
so they say. I don't know the Norwegian trance DJ's -
but I guess the finnish group Darude is somewhat close. Eminem is my son's greatest star in this house at the moment, but he's not what I would call trance-like.

Although some of the fullmoonparties in Goa were ...

15.01.01 23:32 Noosphere
yes, the fullmoon parties I think would be most trance like.... I don't make the scene actually, just really enjoy the music.... something new....not just rehashed rock.......

15.01.01 23:39 Ice Queen
well - enough for tonight, I'm getting up early tomorrow, but just thought I'd ask since I saw this huge article today and you mentioning GOA trance in your info page.

Editor's note:
We had a long talk about our broken hearts. How we fell deep down into the chasm of emotions, climbed up again, and survived. A conversation that I will not publish. But it ended up like this:

so why do we sit here if it wasn't for these terrible loveaffairs? if not, we would be out there in life somewhere.

but I think this is pretty good. just now. *s*

Noosphere 09.02.01 09:50
we are in life somewhere...

here.

actually, right now, I don't want to be anywhere else. I find you burrowing deeper here.... you have aroused my compassion, and understanding....
I know you, only because I know those parts of
myself....

Ice Queen 09.02.01 09:53
yesterday morning was so beautiful. you should
have seen it when I woke up:

all those ice roses on the window pane, but no
pain at all.
the moon was up behind these cold flowers of
winter, dark steel blue sky.

early morning, but no blues.

I lit the fire. got myself some coffee. went to see
if you were there.
and you were.

Noosphere 09.02.01 09:57
I think about you, sylvi.... you resonate.... I
am ..well, maybe we both find the understanding
ear here...not just the listening ear.... and
your style.... I will confess, I find it quite
becoming.... yes, I look for you as well....
weird huh....

and for me, I am not a net newbie....just
experiencing the 'magic' of online conversation..... I know this space....

you are quite special.

Noosphere 09.02.01 09:59
I want to talk with you in whipsers, in shouts, in soft tones of amber....
and walk along the bay, or under the tree.... and learn you.

everything
