Hey everyone! I went to have a look at the NEW thearkworld.com last night and it looks GREEEAT!
We will all have lots of fun there and it will be up any day now!! I also learned last night that
rockstars are NOT lazy, ha ha. There will be a very limited edition of "State of The Ark" that
has a cover designed by Ola's older brother, and last night (with lots of help i must add) the
boys packed the discs into these specially designed covers, check out some pictures HERE!!
Also, the Beard competition is settled, hargh hargh.. :) The winning contribution goes something like this, roughly
translated from swedish:
Im in panic!
"-Ola should not have a beard because when my dad saw the pictures, he said that Ola looks "nice and wholesome"
with his beard and that he looked just right for working in the building trade. He also said that
if he kept the beard, Ola was welcome to join my dad's firm as a concrete worker. I'd rather have him on stage
instead so he can NEVER have a beard again or he might end up working in the building trade and
that would be a true disaster for all Ark fans.."
SO TRUE, that WOULD be a disaster.. Now if "Agge" would Get back to us with his/her
home adress, i promise that the artwork will soon be on its way... Congratulations!! :)
Just dont forget to take a pic when it hangs on your wall, we will publish the pic right here!! Aaaah, what a christmas gift!

Ehum.. Some of you might know that Ola has been sporting a, well,
different look during the summer and fall.. We feel that it would be a
shame if the world would be cheated out of this little bearded adventure
so we decided to have some fun with it.. After you have seen some
really PARANOID PICTURES :-)
(Pictures by Frans Hällqvist) we want you to think real hard and come up with a really good reason why he should
NOT have this bearded look in the future. "Because he´s cuter without it" will not
cut it, a bit more substance please.. When you feel that you have a great reason,
send a mail HERE! When all the mails
have been read and the best motivation has been choosen, that lucky writer will win.. *drumroll*
Olas beard!!! Sealed and packed!! Now THIS is what i call a competition!!

The webmaster has heard the upcoming single!! :-)
First off, i get a lot of e-mails rearding
release dates, and there is NO DATES
set, sorry bout the information thats been given!
Ola called me today and told me that
the band was in Stockholm shooting the
video for the upcoming single and of
course i went down to the shoot.
The title of the song will be revealed
in time but i was not allowed to go
public with it just yet but what i CAN tell you is that the
track is AMAZINGLY good. I heard it about
4-5 times and now it sticks like glue
to my brain and if this one does not
become a huge hit, something's very
wrong with the world.. It rocks big time!
The set was kind of small so i could not
use any flashes with my camera. I filmed
a bit though and i will try to get some
stills from that movie sometime next week.
I can also tell you that we'll have a little
contest on the site soon and the price
is....... Totally priceless!!
All Ark fans are in for a real treat this winter
as The Ark sails again. Over and out. /Fredrik

It seems someone has registered him/her-self at hotmail.com with
the adress olasalo@hotmail.com. Ola had that adress blocked about
a year ago but after 3 months, it seems anyone can register it again
and now someone has done exactly that. SO, any replies that comes from
this adress is FALSE, Ola has a totally different adress that hopefully
will remain anonymous except to those of his own choice.
olasalo@hotmail.com is a phony, spread the word!

There's been some stupid writings in the swedish press that there's been a police report
filed regarding The Ark because of a party that went on in Växjö and also that Ola has offered a
