Tom Waits-løpet

We were determined to join this year's Tom Waits Run in Trondheim because we missed it last year. It started at 2pm and we eventually bailed at around 9pm because we were tired of standing in queues. Overall, it was a fun experience but the crowd was mostly composed of old folks in groups so we kind of just felt like we were loaners crashing a series of retirement parties (the lame kind of retirement parties where beer costs $15 a bottle).

The Raindogs Duo were our favorite band of the night. The keyboardist looked like he was having a great time and the singer absolutely nailed the Tom Waits voice.

These guys were called Bushmills and they had all of the necessary instruments to execute the loungy Tom Waits songs. They did an especially great job with "Tom Traubert's Blues."

On May 24th in Trondheim the sun doesn't set until 10:47pm (as opposed to 8:41pm in Eugene). We snapped this photo of Spring flowers on our way home at 9:15pm.
