Rikke and I were at the VETO/Spleen United double-whammy concert yesterday here in Copenhagen, and it kicked some major ass. Probably in fact, the best concert I’ve been at in… ever. I don’t think I’ve seen a crowd that worked up since Metallica (and that was 50.000 people, so… quite an accomplishment for little ol’ K.B. Hallen).

I have to begrudgingly admit that I’d never heard of, or seen anything from or about this short film until yesterday, when Cedric left a comment on a Battlestar Galactica concept painting by Ralph McQuarrie I had uploaded to flickr1.

First of all, I’d like to express my elation with Barack Obama. And I really mean that. Even here, half-way around the world, in a country so liberal your scale doesn’t even go that far left, this will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of a reign of incompetence and negligence and will soon see the rise of what I truly believe to be not only a good man, but the right man for the job as president of the US.
Secondly, I have certainly been, if not incompetent, then at least somewhat negligent, namely in writing for this site. But there’s just been so much to see to lately. First I had a driver’s license to take — nailed it by the way — and then the gates of Hades opened up on the unprepared masses and unleashed not one, not two, not three… No, one BILLION games.
I have quite a few British friends and readers, and I thought this might be of particular interest to you. A good friend of mine, Bjørn, an ex-pat Dane who is married to a Brit, and living and working in England, raised the alarm flag on a subject which should be very close to the heart of anyone living in Britain, whether they know it or not.
