Digital Parade 

Every year all Norwegians go mad on the 17th of May - our Constitutional Day - and either watch the local parade with marching bands and the lot or take part (if they're under 20, because the parade (during the day) is for children only). It's a huge celebration and generally considered a tourist attraction for foreigners (because all Norwegian tourists would spend the day in their home town). This year, the centenary of the dissolvement of the Swedish-Norwegian union, fans are arranging a digital parade among the Norwegian World of Warcraft players. If it works (which, unfortunately, it probably won't, since there are too many childish people playing that game) it will be an amazing event.

Those of us who don't play World of Warcraft (but instead try their luck with Guild Wars instead...or nothing at all) will have to watch the local parades and consider that to be enough. My "local" parade would be the Oslo one, which takes about three hours to watch, so...uhmm...I have a feeling I may be spending the day watching it on telly instead. Hopefully the weather will be nice so that I can celebrate the day on my balcony.

Current track: Nothing.
