mister slippery Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 that's awesome, shain, way to go. ive always wanted to go to Iceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 that's awesome, shain, way to go.ive always wanted to go to Iceland. Iceland Air routinely has great deals if you fly out of Boston... I've been seriously looking into a sidetrip to Iceland on my next trip across the pond. On some flights you don't even get penalised for the extra stop for 2 or 3 days... AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister slippery Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 from Boston, hmmm?maybe when next i visit my bro in boston, i'll arrange a small detour to rekjavik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I met two Australian dudes on the way to St. Petersburg. They were on a 'round the world trip and they couldn't stop talking about how amazing Iceland was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Seriously Shain try and get an interview with We Are Scientists. They are hilarious dudes from everything I've read and seen and they just take over the 'interview' process. If you tell them you're from Canada originally they'll likely really go off.

If you tell them you're from Canada originally they'll likely really go off.As a reader I'd be more interested in reading about good bands. We Are Scientests may be a good interview, but their music does absolutely nothing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Oh but they are such a wicked interview - I'd have to go the exact opposite direction. They are the shit as people even if there music is to some 'the shit' (I don't have much of an opinion there). They're like a band full of Chives2's.

shainhouse Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I don't know how many, if any interviews I'll do.. I'm there to review, so it'll mostly be taking in the shows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
