Another year, another Herräng.

Though this time it's my tenth year, and this time things start changing at Herräng for me.

After many years of troublemaking and many years of strife with the Herräng middle-management, I fully joined Calle's crew and became his dedicated worker for the five weeks I was there (not to mention taking classes week three and working in the cafe week 2.. whew!)

Turns out that if you're working for one of the "Friends Of Herräng" then you can do lots of troublemaking and you get praise for it instead of friction.

That's nice.

It was quite a year. Calle created the "Team Mission Impossible" for which I designed the shirts and ran a bunch of the activities, including the reopening (and expansion) of his restaurant(s). This year we redid Hooters, of course (with official shirts), and Dennys of course, and then we added in a Mexican restaurant, a food court and a Chinese restaurant. The food court was a terrible disaster because we had a *huge* turnout, only to discover that all of the stoves except for one burner burned out minutes after opening. We ended up with a plethora of unused eggs and ham, for which I came up with the idea of opening a Green Eggs and Ham cafe, which turned out to be very disturbing (and amusing) to the Europeans.

There was a Bollywood party week 2, which I had a wonderful time as a member of the Indian slums. The party week 4 was "Holy Grail" and I ended up scripting and helping choreograph an amusing battle scene (that I sadly don't have full video coverage of... so it goes).

I hung out in Stockholm for a day, managed to get a tent for my Husvagn, and generally worked too hard (as I did at Burning Man this year - a theme I intend to put a stop to pronto).

I put together a couple of videos, most notable being a promo for our ridiculous Matchmaking service, shot and edited in about 90min, and a decent enough video.

After Herräng it was off to Stockholm for Jazz Jam (never as much fun as I keep hoping it would be), and then dancing for a few nights at Chicago as I relax in Stockholm.

And then back to the states, where I got upgraded for my flight to Chicago and then again to SF the next day!
