Big Day Out
One advantage of being in Australia during the swiss winter is that you can go to music festivals in January! And so I did :-)
Last thursday I went to the Big Day Out festival in Sydney.
What is interesting compared to festivals in Europe is that in Australia the festival starts at 11 in the morning and ends at 11:45 in the evening, whereas in Switzerland festivals start around 5 in the afternoon and end around 5-6 in the morning.
Yesterday after work we had some beers at The Local Taphouse (including some fine porter from BrewDog to increase my shareholder value) and then we went on to go out in some clubs, in shorts and flip-flops. Astonishingly we had no problems getting inside, anywhere else in the world this would not be possible!
This morning then up again for some early surfing at Bondi before all the tourists arrive. And now chilling in my Kammok under the trees in the frontyard :-)
This morning I started to prepare the bagagges for my trip to 28C3 and for the two months in Sydney.
While stowing away all my stuff in boxes so I can sublet my room I found old boxes with stuff, which I did stow away over a year ago when I went to Sydney the last time and I've never even thought about since!
As I did not have time to open them today I don't even know what is in those boxes. Probably I should just throw them away when I come back from Sydney, there can't be anything important in there :-)
One of the rare concert evenings at Satellite where even the technicians had to have an additional badge (but nevertheless this is another one of a kind memory): Soiree BAM 2005
Let's start the last week of this badge advent calendar with another tech conference badge (looks like the conference no longer exists, thus no link to any website): San Francisco LinuxWorld 2007
