Swedish Language Meetup

I organized a Scandinavian Langauge Meetup, which turned out to be a Swedish Language meetup.  Seven people, three fluent, three learners, and me, who didn’t understand anyone, but I did fulfil my role as the person to encourage everyone to speak Swedish instead of English. 

Sadly no Icelanders.  I’m the loneliest Icelander wannabe. (follow that link! it links to the real loneliest Icelander.)  No Norwegians either.  I’ll have to keep marketing.  So I crammed Icelandic for the last few days to no avail.  However I do know what “hammingusamur” means.

Murky coffee has been overrun by the laptop campers.  The upstairs was like being at the library.

Meetup tried to pull a fast one one me– as as soon as I submitted my rating for the group, they asked if I wanted to switch from $9 with the risk of a price raise any month to $12 with the risk of a price raise after a year.  I am happy to stick with month to month at $9 because everyone knows I’ll advertise this group elsewhere if they think they can charge me $19!
