@kristianaas Thanks for sharing, it was nice reading about #BHF, to whom I tributed the song “Bear Hugs Forever” at Solskogen in 2018. He made me feel welcome and that I belonged in the #demoscene. As I write in the song credits:

“…at Solskogen 2012, Bård invited me into Brandon Walsh’ […] tent and spent a good 4 hours telling stories from ye olden days, about the C64 scene and instantly making me feel like home in an environment I've been away from for so long.

Bård was always among the first to give me a big bear hug when we met at demo parties and made me, as well as everybody else, feel welcome.

We became friends and had interactions outside of the demoscene after a while and I appreciate and treasure every second I've spent talking or chatting with BHF.

I consider myself lucky having met and known him, and as the lyrics in the song say, I hope he is in a better place and that we can meet again somehow.

Bear Hugs Forever to Bård Harald Fosse. RIP BHF.”
