Hottie on its way home from LA

Yesterday Hottie got on the ship that will take it home to Mamma...Hot Dog Mamma...he he. From the DSV terminal in LA it will go through the Panama Canal and cross the Atlantic Ocean before it hits its home continent, Europe. It has now visited two of the seven continents of the world - and with five to go new plans are up in the air.

In about four weeks Hottie will arrive in its hometown Aarhus, Denmark.

I am so pleased that DSV is bringing it back to me, because I know for sure they will take the best care of it. Hottie is in my thoughts and I send it some love for the trip. Please do the same, I know Hottie will appreciate.

Home safe and satisfied

Now I am back in Aarhus trying to get back on track after a totally fantastic tour across the States with my Hot Dog Stand. Wauuuv. I am fighting the jet lag, running my business and closing down a wonderful USA coast2coast tour. As soon as possible I will be back and tell more about everything. Right now I need some rest. ZZZZzzzzzzzzz

Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills 90210

What a rush it was to see the line of people at Rodeo Drive. People waiting to get a bite of Danish culture in the name of kids with arthritis. And then Sven Ole Thorsen came. Waaauuuuuw!!

We drove up in front of the Bang & Olufsen store and parked the car at the corner to unload Hottie. That wasn't easy. The cops did not want us there, uhhh no, too fancy of a place to have something like that there. That's for sure. The most expensive street in the world - some say.

This day was a great way to end the tour and what a difference from our first event in Central Bronx, where we served for homeless and pour people.

Arriving at Rodeo Drive I looked at the door....oh oh..hottie will not fit in that door. Then what??? Well, we got Hottie off the trailer with only one visit from the police, took Hottie to the door and got it sqeezed in, pyhhh, we made it!

Among fancy TV's and stereos of high quality Hottie stood proud and smiling ready to rock and roll for the last time in the USA.

Last event in LA

Friday the 12th of October, 11.30am - 2.30pm at Bang & Olufsen, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills 90210. Actor and author Sven Ole Thorsen will be there.

Beverly Hills, Danish Film Festival Reception

On October the 6th we drove up to Beverly Hills, Angelo Drive after a hunt for methanol. After searching for it a couple of hours and being sent to one place after another that did not have it, we gave up. We did order some loooong time ago and expected it to show up in Elk Horn. It did four days too late and then we were gone. Thomas from Elk Horn tried to send it to LA, but you have to be licenced to send Methanol. Bummer!

Not having methanol it is great that our bike is up and running and many people sat on the bike that day in Beverly Hills. The Danish Film Festival Reception was hosted by Niels Christian Uhrenholt from the Trade Commission of Denmark here in LA and approx. 100 people were invited.

Standing in the drive way we could welcome the guests when they arrived and let them know about us and our cause. Everybody was positively surprised when they saw us, said it looked really cozy and that they would definately come back. The Hot Dog Agents Tina, Søren and Lee had made it really really nice with candle light and music from the charity CD. Lee also made remoulade, Yummi!

Vincent Van Go Go played at the reception and fine cuisine were served by the pool.

Despite the cuisine some people said that we were the best that night and a wonderful ingredient to the fancy reception. Even one of the Chefs, Al, said that everybody in the kitchen loved the hot dogs; he brought down some of their food and the Hot Dog Team loved that! Typical.

Well, during that night I was honored by many happy faces that spread some good energy. Mads Mikkelsen came by and asked me if I remembered what kind of onions he likes....uhhh raw, I said and it was right. He told me that thursday night, when I bumped into him at Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. I am so glad I remembered. Pyhhh. He ordered a heated Cocio and said he would be back.

In the meantime Anders Mattesen came by to enjoy a hot dog together with some friends. Kristian Riis from Nephew and Janus from Vincent Van Go Go both had their debut as a Hot Dog Man. They both did it sooooo well, I was really proud and we had a great time in Hottie serving Hot Dogs to happy people, who think that the project is very very cool.

Then came Torsten Jansen, Head of Press, Culture and Information at the Danish Embassy in Washington DC. He just wanted to stop by to say hello....all of a sudden he was in the hot dog stand making hot dogs and he himself was surprised. Then he sat on the bike generating a loooooot of power for the battery - I think he is used to biking, cause waauuv he could bike. Last but not least he enjoyed a hot dog and then he was even more surprised, cause all he wanted was to say hello. Magic, I think it is the Hottie Magic. The kind of Magic that fills you up with joy, energy and good vibes - the Magic that attracts you..the Hottie Magic...Yeahhh

When the Cocio was almost boiling Mr. Mikkelsen came to have his hot dog with raw onions and heated cocio. We chatted and talked about meeting the next time in Beijing to the Olympics 2008, because of course he is gonna qualify for that...descipline...hmmm I suggested "stangspring" he thought it would be 800 meters, well, we will see.

It was a cosy night and I saw a lot af smiling faces saying that we are really cool, doing this for kids with arthritis. It makes me warm when people say that.

I am proud of my Hot Dog Team that once again kicked ass and made the night memorable for a lot of people including myself. Thank you, my special Hot Dog Agents Tina, Søren and Lee.

Meeting Mads Mikkelsen in Hollywood

The Hot Dog Team entered on thursday the 4th of october the Roosevelt Hotel with keyhangers, Cocio, caps and charity cds. The Danish Film Festival had the opening Galla Party and approx. 600 people were invited and my good music friends Vincent Van GO GO gave a concert. Grrrrrrreat!

Unfortunately Hottie could not go with us - Roosevelt Hotel said no even though June, manager of the Film Festival fought to the very end for us. Too bad, people would have loved Hottie as a cosy contrast to all the fancy pancy stuff.

We told people about USA coast2coast and they loved the story. Some got keyhangers and some got a cd or a cap. Roosevelt did not like the Cocios, so they stayed under the table. Only Sven Ole Thorsen got two to take home.

During the night I bumped into Mads Mikkelsen, I introduced myself and he said that he heard about us. Waauuv! Isn't that cool! I also had the pleasure to shake hands with Sven Ole Thorsen - he is a super nice and cool guy! Yeah! Tina and I sat down beside Anden, "The Duck", Anders Mattesen and had a chat with him about our tour and a bit about his film "Terkel in trouble". He looked really good in his suit. Wuuw!

Well, it was a great night and we met soooooo many really nice people who were very welcoming. Oh yeahh I also said hello to the man behind "Who killed the electrical car" - if you know that movie...

Time to go to bed, tomorrow we are going to Beverly Hills with Hottie. 90210, sounds so cool!

How are things going?

Well, if I look at the goals, here is how we are doing.

Goals USA coast 2coast

Generate power for the Hot Dog Stand from a bike - I have the bike and it works.

Visit Today´s `Morning Show` and `Oprah Winfrey` - I have been in contact with Oprah's senior producer of the content and he is waiting for some material from me. He mentioned something about a theme in May next year I would fit into. I will keep on fighting for it. NBC got an email - no answer.

Get Al Gore to ride the power-bike - we will invite him for an event in LA.

Get an autograph from BB-King - we have been in contact with a band member of his.

Get inside the Atlanta football stadium with the kicker Morten Andersen in the Hot Dog Stand - well, since Morten didn't have a club by the time I left Denmark, we couldn't do it, now he has and now it is too late, unfortunately.

Have the model and store owner Helena Christensen to serve hot dogs in New York - we were working so hard to get a car and trailer in NYC that we didn't even have time to visit Helena in her store. I wrote her an email not long ago - no reply.

Serve a hot dog to G. W. Bush in front of The White House - because of Oprah Winfrey I decided to go through Chicago and not Washington DC.

A day in mountain heaven

Hottie climbed the Rocky Mountains with style - hottie is cool.
Christian took us to his house in Golden that has a wonderful mountain view. 8000 feet / 2600 meters above see level. We all felt the thin and fresh air.
That afternoon Christian took Hottie and us to the highest located lake in the USA, 14000 feet / 4600 meters above see level, uh I got a bit dizzy and so did hottie. We have never been that high up together, and we made it. Yahooooooo. So so beautiful.

Christian has been a wonderful and very inspiring host, a perfect break for the Hot Dog Team, Hottie and me. Thank you Christian - my new Hot Dog Friend and if that was not enough, Chistian has donated Dkr. 5000 to children with arthritis. Your kindness, warmth and willingness to share is overwhelming.

We are now in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Taken from http://www.usatourist.com/english/places/newmexico/santafe.html:
With 65,000 residents, Santa Fe is New Mexico’s third largest city. It was originally settled by Spaniards before 1607, and is now the oldest state capital city in the United States.
