Here is how the typical conversation goes when I tell someone I want to go to Iceland.
Part 1:
Them: Ireland?
Me: No ICELAND!
Them: ahh…you know Greenland is the one with all the ice, and Iceland is mostly green lolololololol
Me: …
Part 2:
Them: Didn’t that one Volcano, umm …jeyraejnfkuermnaewackuehf, or something erupt there lolololol.
Me: …
Part 3:
Them: Why would you want to go there? Their economy failed and its miserable over there and cold.
Me: YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT! THE GLOBAL ECONOMY FAILED! AND SAINT LOUIS WEATHER IS A FREAK SHOW WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE HERE!
Part 4:
Grandma: I thought you said Graceland?

I was on the homepage of Iceland Airwaves today to check out the volunteer situation. It looks like they have a global volunteering organization that they use. So while I was emailing them to find out more I figured out that the 12.500 Kr it would cost for a festival pass, is only about 100 USD. Not bad at all, right?
I figure if I’m already in Iceland (working or living) I will want to go and if I’m not there yet then this will be my reason for going.
The festival is October 31 -November 4. I can’t wait!
I think I’m going to turn this tumblr into a mini trip planner.
My planned move to Iceland is less than a year away and my excitement has surpassed my “only let it pop up in random conversations with people I’ll never see again” stage.
My fair isle sweater collection has grown quite large! I’ve yet to take photos that will do them justice but admire them for what you know to be true about fair isle sweaters-they are warm and fuzzy and make you instantly beautiful. Fellow admirers of fair isle (and from which much of my affinity springs) are the people in Sigur Ros’ film, Heima -
Here is the wonderful trailer made in their native Iceland.
and The Sartorialist, where I found these pretty pictures.

Okay, at 1pm I will write down all the names of those who have reblogged and putting them into my “sorting hat” and drawing at random. I thought this would be the fairiest thing. If you are chosen then I’ll send you a message and I’ll give you the account.
Also as in any game of chance the more times the better. Best of luck.
