Unlike Webster’s Dictionary, Run Kevin Run Dot Com defines “serendipity” as “arriving into town wearing your Star Wars shirt in time for the free opening night gala of the Odense Brandts Museum of Art and Visual Culture’s new Sci Fi exhibit, featuring guest appearances by some of our favorite Star Wars stars.” Tomorrow though […]
September 27, 2018 – The Royal Tour of Copenhagen, Or Maybe Christiania Tour, From Two Days Ago I just got off the bus in Odense, a place I’d describe as a city suburb. The FlixBus let us off in a commuter parking lot and I wandered past various fast food chains and an Ikea before […]
It’s intermission. They’re only doing the titles in Danish. I had read a synopsis before the start but it’s been tough going. The second act (of four) had some great physical comedy that complemented the story; I laughed a lot and I felt I could follow it… although that might be because it’s the most “Three’s […]
I’m taking in a concert version of “The Marriage of Figaro” tonight so I’ll do the last tour recap later. Thank the maker it’s not “La Traviata” again!
The second tour of the day was a 90 minute walk to the north of Hojbro Plads with its axe-weilding Bishop Absalon. We begin at the Stork Fountain, so named because, well, there are three storks carve into it.

It’s a three hour walking tour with a British ex-pat who has been living in Copenhagen for the last 10 years. He had planned on staying for a year… and, well, he fell in love with the city. While Vienna and I never seemed to click, I understood the appeal of this Danish capital. It’s […]
I spent the day on walking tours. A 3-hour grand tour, a 90 minute Royalty Tour, and a 90 minute Classical Tour. We covered a lot of ground, both historically, anecdotally, and city-ly. I’ve seen the majority of what there is to see from the outside looking in at least of Copenhagen. And my initial […]
There’s an old Kevin proverb that says: If you find yourself in Belgium on a layover, you’re Demogorgon right you have a waffle.
Ya know what probably isn’t great for fighting germs and a linger head cold? Running a marathon in drizzly weather with a chilling wind for good measure. But as this blog and my life in general prove time and time again, I am not a smart man. I’m waiting to check out of the doghouse… […]
