Spent a good chunk of the trip’s last morning in SF Bokhandeln – its selection on books, movies and games is so far above the domestic alternatives that it’s not even remotely funny.
Took a look in the Drottningsgatan’s Systembolaget and picked up an odd Omnnipollo can (lemonade never sounds too enticing in beer context) and a serendipitously discovered Thomas Hardy Ale. Neither of these was available in the “big” store, which just proves that a proper flagship location would be a good addition.
Picked up Alice Cooper’s new album – one of the very few artists whose records I keep buying in the age of streaming. He’d had a release gig in Gröna Lund and an afterparty in the Hard Rock Cafe yesterday, but the threat of rain and untold kilometers walked kept me away. Turns out there’s been quite a few bands playing in the amusement park lately (with no extra ticket fee) – sadly this is not geographically contagious, it’ll be an astronomical while before the likes of Megadeth appear in Linnanmäki.
Arlanda had an unexpected disappointment in store: Bath & Body Works had disappeared, so the stash of foaming soaps at home remains sorely depleted.
FI: Lystiä oli, ja matkalaukullinen olutta riittää pitkäksi aikaa.
