About North
"North" is a web log by me, Barry Kavanagh, an Irish immigrant in Norway, part of a collective who own a bar/art gallery/music venue in Oslo called Sound of Mu. I am also a fiction writer (see hellshaw.com) and I have a musical group called Dacianos.
"North" is about the idea of being in Norway. It informs you about Norwegian culture, often describing art and music about which there is no information in English on the internet. The other main purpose of this blog is to update you on my adventures.
"North" is updated once a week, although you must allow for interruptions caused by cosmic ennui. Each entry is accompanied by a picture. Pictures in 2005-6 were taken on my phone but as of 2007 they are taken on a digital camera.
Norwegian words, and other odd words that crop up are explained in the glossary.
There are many things I have not got round to writing about yet in "North". These include: black metal, rabbits, how to open a bottle of beer with a cigarette lighter, Norwegian alcohol laws, and the frequent polar bear attacks.
What they said about "North":
"I am not impressed by your quality of thinking" - University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute.
"NEXT TIME YOU WISH TO CONVEY THE FEELINGS THAT ART ENGENDERS IN YOU...TRY BEING CREATIVE" - someone called LAM-08.
"Heya! I Am the Hero of your nightmare ! if you want, we may meet at my bloody Darkness underworld !" - a self-professed vampire.
"Am 31 years a Ghanaian based in Italy looking for Norway woman for a serious relationship that i hope to get to marriage" - someone who should probably remain anonymous.
