Pylsuspjall*: Fanfest Edition

We spoke to a few gamers visiting town

*Pylsuspjall: 1. Hot dog chat 2. A brief conversation held with strangers holding sausages

Welcome to our revival of Pylsuspjall, a Grapevine feature in which we accost strangers at the Bæjarins Beztu hot dog stand and ask them questions. This time we hit the town late on a Saturday night, looking for folks donning lanyards — a quick indicator of those attending EVE Fanfest — and met a group that plays together, some of whom were in Iceland for the first time or even meeting each other for the first time.

It’s very nice, yeah. I’m coming back in 60 days, me and my partner are coming back. I didn’t want to bring him and subject him to the EVE players, he’s not a gamer. So we’re just going to come back and do the sights.
