Reykjavík Grapevine - 06.06.2014, Blaðsíða 4
Would you be willing to run an ad to help me find my penpal from fifth grade? Her name was Andrea Avarstadottir or some- thing like that. She was from Reykjavik. I can't remember the proper spelling as it has been more than 20 years since we wrote. I was connected with her through my teacher in Havre, Montana USA. Thank you for any help you can offer. Sarah McKinney Dear Sarah, Here’s to hoping that somebody read- ing our issue can help you out. Right off the bat we can tell you that her last name is probably not Avarstadottir, as it’s not really an Icelandic name, but you’re probably close! She could certainly be called something like An- drea Ævarsdóttir (there’s one living in Reykjavík) or Arnardóttir (there’s one living in Mosfellsbær and her middle name is Anna), or Arnarsdóttir (there’s one living in Akranes and her middle name is Ýr), or even Árnadóttir (there are three of those, one living in Reykja- vík, another in Hafnarfjörður and the third in Akranes). In case you want to try phoning any of them, you can find their numbers at www.ja.is (that’s our phonebook and most people are listed). We hope you reconnect! Grapevine Dear friends, Now we desperately need your help and we want to test the power of Facebook! These young women came to our shop in Reykjavík, Iceland, on Saturday the 31st of May 2014. They left their camera which con- tains a lot of photos and we want to try to get it back in their hands. Attached are photos of the women in Iceland and a photo of a graduation at Cornell which might help us find the owner. It would mean a lot if you shared this post so we can find the cameras owner! Thank you, Kraum We want to help, Kraum, and we want to test the power of the printed word, too. Anyone know who these travel- ers are? Lotsa karma points if you can help us return a camera and prove that the written word isn’t dead at the same time. Optimistically, The Grapevine Hello Grapevine, I was reading your latest issue on my iPad and couldn’t help but notice your cover photo of your beloved mayor… err… your loved mayor… err… let’s just say your mayor, Jón Gnarr walking on water. A photo that was inspired by the Peter Sellers film Being There. Well this was a pretty cool photo for me because I work at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, which is a 175,000 square foot house built in 1895. We have 43 bathrooms, 101 bedrooms, a gymnasium, an indoor swim- ming pool, and a stable. It was built by one of the Vander- bilt’s and is a popular tourist attraction here in the moun- tains. Right about now, you most likely are asking yourself “What the hell is your point?”. Well it was here at Biltmore where Being There was filmed. Here is Peter Sellers walking on the lagoon behind the house: So I thought to myself, what better place to read your maga- zine, then at the Lagoon? So I did. Have a great day! Bryan Hey Bryan, Thank you for your nice letter! We had no idea that ‘Being There’ was filmed at the Biltmore Estate, but that’s a fun fact! And we’re glad you could enjoy the issue by that beauti- ful lagoon… For those of you who missed our last issue, you can find a .pdf and issuu version on our website, www.grapevine.is.
