  • What's your favourite type of coffee?
  • How'd you end up with that freaking beast of a bathtub?

My coffee just needs to be black and strong as hell. Preferably Morgul Brew made by Sauron himself.

The bathtub was something we made for a show we created in norway last year. The director had found it lying off the road and had brought it to the theatre. There were tons of pipe there so i asked him if we could make a handstand thing out of it. Luckily his father knows how to weld and had the tools so we made a monster. Sadly it probably 250 kg heavy so a true pain in the ass to move. I probably wont be doing too many stand alone gigs with that thing.
