I’ll be flying to Stockholm early tomorrow morning, and staying there until Thursday. It’s a business trip to VON Europe 2005 conference, and I recently found out that most of the other attendants seem to be CEO’s, Vice Presidents, and other high level Managers of several sort. And then me, level 12 nerd (figure out a scale by yourself, rolling a d100 could be a good starting point). I’m thinking of having a disguise, i.e. wearing a blazer over my Megatokyo T-shirt. Perhaps that way they won’t do extra security checks or point fingers at me unless they cast a detect nerds spell (or notice my well worn black jeans). I hope there’s some presentations in Tech-speak, I don’t speak Management-speak very well.

The schedule is full from morning to evening, so I probably won’t have time to wander around the city. Too bad, I would have liked to look for the little shop selling prog CD’s in Gamla Stan. It might be a good candidate for a shop carrying Swedish prog, for example: Nucleus by Anekdoten, Lonely Land by Landberk or Hybris by Änglagård. I don’t know if they’re the best albums by these bands, I just looked them up, but the artists themselves I know by their reputation and by absolutely wonderful Symphonic Holocaust by Morte Macabre, a group consisting of Anekdoten and Landberk members.
