Oh my goodness, the final night is here! We are at the most incredible location in all of Oslo ”well, at least that is what I think, since I havent seen much of anything else around here. No, but seriously, this place is really effing awesome. And the whole Harry Potter theme is in full effect.
(By the way: we’re really sorry that the blog hasn’t been updated more with photos and videos — they are coming soon! WE’ve just been having a small (read:huge) problem with bandwidth… but hey, we survive, and all will be up and reported in the next week. Just stay tuned…
ONWARD to the results!
