Eating Live Shrimps in Korea

My friend Laurent Haug just finished having his Lift Conference in Korea. While he was there he experienced some wild things, but this has to be the wildest. Eating Live Shrimp!

I am so excited that I won tickets to Lowlands this year. I have to go pick them up on Friday from the postoffice. So first thing I will do that. But how does one prepare for Lowlands digitally?

1. Well first get up to date on the music. For that I am using Spotify. It is the most excellent app around for listening to music. Forget Last FM man. I made a playlist of all the artists that are going and I’m just playing it around the clock on shuffle, and making notes. Spotify is an app that streams an enormous library of music for free to your computer, and it navigates a lot like, and sometimes works even better than, iTunes. [Daniel, if you are reading this, you should setup playlists for all the festivals. Just an idea.]
2. Next I have to get my phones charged up and setup with Qik and Shozu to do some live updating to my various blogs and sites. I’ve learned to take more than one cell with me so I don’t have to waste time charging them during the 3 days.
3. Then make sure my lowlog is up to par just in case there are some new video installations this year like last year to do some live updates there.
4. Sync with friends on twitter and check all the #LL08 tags going around.

Good, now I’m ready to rock. Just gotta find my backpack and some clothes. See you at lowlands!!!

One annoying thing about going out in Amsterdam now is you cannot smoke inside. Also for non smokers, everyone is outside you want to talk to. And of course you cannot take your glass out with you either. So you stnad next to a smoker who is holding his or her drink in the door. I mean we might as well just stay home. Another thing is
People seem to stink more now because there is mo smoke to hide the aromas of sweat or bad hairspray. No fun. I’ll stay in Spain for a bit longer I think till it is sorted out.
