h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi OB1,

I was involved in a similar incident in dec99 in Innsbruck, Austria at the Air and Style Snowboard competition.

On the way out of the stadium we were caught in a crowd crush and my girlfriend Sonja died. She was only 21. 4 other young Austrian girls died that nite.

This sort of this really changes one's outlook on life, its way to short to sit around and watch. U have to get out there and do things. I am personally too scared to go to such a big event again, and I could never go to a concert such as Roskilde, the crowds would be too much for me.

But I won't stop travelling and seeing new things.

Mez...

My condolences. How very sad.

Mez,

I am so sorry that have had to experince something like that. I am glad to see you have a great outlook on life. I am not sure I could cope that well.

I hope one day you will be able to face the crowds again.

Have you wrote any articles on your travels yet?

/Shaun (OB1)

actually all my travels are documented on my website www.o2bfree.com also a bit of a tribute to Sonja (when the stupid server is working) or my old website is members.tripod.com/~j_mez That one still has most of the information.. but not the latest.

I take off again in October. I have been stuck at home in Australia since the accident. I thought I would not be able to travel again. But I can't seem to get on with my life until I get travel out of my system!

Wonderful website you have created. You can really get a feel of what Sonja must of been like.

Where does you new website live? I am just wondering because I have purchased a domain name (www.shaun-asa.com) but my site is on Geocities (using domain forwarding).

Also I would like to ask you a favour. I am thinking about setting up website as a memorial to Roskilde and those that lost their lives. I was wondering if you would be able to help with the website design?

Love to help with design, just let me know. email is [email protected]

The new site is hosted by a friend. He did it as a favour to me cos he knew Sonja. I did a lot of research on where to host though. better to explain via email though me thinks.

Many thanks for the offer of help. I shall email you as soon as I get something going.

I am going to create something on Geocities first and then I'll email you so you can have a look and give me your thoughts.
