snow gathering

Sometimes I really wish I understood Icelandic.

My Icelandic friends tell me there's quite an uproar in the Icelandic press about SnowGathering 2007. I don't generally encounter the conservative part of the local population, and hadn't really realized that that sort of thing existed here, but during the past few days I've been assured otherwise. Apparently both the church, politicians and some feminists have objected to the gathering. It's somewhat frustrating to know this sort of dialog is going on here, but not understand the language well enough to be able to follow along.

I guess I'll just have to focus on what I do understand: downtown will soon be full of porn stars looking for a good time.
