Hei Lindy!
Det var spennende da jeg fikk nyhetene at det var et bildet av meg i The Stranger i uke! Jeg var på besøk hos noen venner i Seattle. De jobber på 'crepe stand' og ville at jeg skulle hjelpe dem å lage crepe til folk i Ballard til Seafood Festen. De var veldig gode crepe, med røykte villaks - fikk du prøve dem? Jeg synes at de hadde smakt bedre om de hadde brukt norsk oppdrettslaks, synes du ikke det?
Det var litt ironisk at du brukte et bildet av meg som symbol av 'norsk-amerikansk kitsch' siden jeg ER norsk (selvfølgelig, siden jeg snakker norsk, sant?). Men kanskje jeg be om det, fordi jeg brukte en amerkansk vikinghjelm. I USA er vikinghjelmene kitsch fordi de er laget i kina! I Norge lager vi dem selv, er de aldri plast, og koster de veldig mye! Folk fra amerika kunne aldri kjøpt en ektenorsk vikinghjelm.
Jeg tror jeg har funnet på en løsning til ditt 'problem' med norsk-amerikansk kitsch i Ballard! Dere kunne sett etter mer olje i Alaska, og så begynt å tjene mer på jobb, og da kunne dere kjøpte dere ekte norsk vikinghjelmer!
Lykke til,
Kristin
Hi Lindy!
It was exciting when I got the news that there was a picture of me in The Stranger this week! I was visiting my friends in Seattle. They were working at the crepe stand and wanted me to help them make crepes for people in Ballard at the Seafood Festival. They were very good crepes, with smoked wild salmon-did you try them? I think that they would have tasted better if they had used native Norwegian salmon, don't you think?
It was a little ironic that you used a picture of me as a symbol of "Norwegian-American kitsch" since I AM Norwegian (certainly, since I speak Norwegian, right?). But maybe I asked for it because I used an American viking helmet. In the USA viking helmets are kitsch because they are made in China! In Norway we make them ourselves, they are never plastic, and they cost a lot! People from America could never buy an authentic Norwegian viking helmet.
I think I have found a solution to your problem with Norwegian-American kitsch in Ballard! You could look for more oil in Alaska, and then begin to earn more at work, and then you could buy yourselves authentic Norwegian viking helmets.
Good Luck,
Kristin

If he was mean to anyone please accept my apologies.
It is such a joy for his family to see him all over the internet.
Thank you to all of you we really enjoyed working at the Ballard Seafood Festival and we will see you next year. Knowing how Croix, he is probably planning his selling techniques for our next event!
