SV: Off to Iceland! (OT)

[Kristinn Leifsson]

Hi,
Don´t worry for me, I like a good glass of wine or two, and I don´t mind 
sitting in an outside hot tub watching fireworks and northern lights 
coupled with a small glass of sherry.
I know the pain of tuning a piano TWO days after a *nice* beer-, white 
wine-, cocktail- and 10-shots-of-tequila-consuming evening and I don´t 
particularly fancy that.  Also going to nightclubs the night before tuning 
for a concert is not a good idea.  It´s funny, it was only there, when I 
finally arrived at the grand that I found out that the blasts from the day 
before had affected me. I had no problem speaking to people, no trouble 
listening to the radio or doing all the everyday things.  But it took me 
three hours to tune the sucker.

Just shows the intricacies of our work,

Kristinn

P.S. Don´t bother telling me about ear-plugs...I know. :-)
