Got to share this music video that my good friend Mr Burke put together for his band "Naked Through Utah". Oh, btw forgot to mention earlier that he's running for president (but of what I don't know).
And when all this fun stuff is going on in the outside world I am working on my 2008 season, planning events and races. I'll keep you posted. /Carl
Last night was a fun night, Caran and Semcon, two consulting companies pretty recently merged into a big one, threw a great christmas party last night in Gothenburg, we were over 1200 guests. Dinner, free drinks and entertainment from Wallmans Salonger got everybody stuffed and ever more cheerful, then it was time for some good live rock music.
It's actually soo nice, everybody at these companies seem to love rock music, letting loose at the stage. Semcon's house band opened, then the Caran band took over and got people calling them in twice after the show. My brother play lead guitar and did some singing too, he's beginning to get way too good... I'm slipping behind. It was a really nice gig, biggest crowd for his band since the Caran party at the Are ski-resort I think(??). Anyway, good fun and nice to meet so many familiar faces in one place. Cheers!
