Im doing a bunch of photoprojects I wont post on here… and I work on the exhibition. (hah did I keep that secret long enough?! :p)
Will be for buyers only! Im forced to my photography as I can’t find the desired office job. Well some people would die to be able to do it. I think I just go with the flow… for now… im going to update my calendar a bit cause I do have a few gigs scheduled.

Next day I worked a bit for Tempelores, met with my assistent around 3 to give him some instructions for the interview we would do with Beyond the Dream. Inti went well, I turned out to be the first one interviewing them live. (as in face to face) There were a little nerves due to that but I think it went quite well and after a few questions the tense was off. Later we saw them perform, turned out to be that Taneli would play tonight as last band. He was in Sentenced, the band where it all started with, the first time I saw that band, long time ago. So we waited and they started playing at 01.30. It was crap, they were so drunk! I had to smile because Taneli sorta recognized me, giving me that sign. And when he was throwing his mic stand into the audience he made sure that he didnt hit me. How nice heh!
But I was pissed that I waited that long for a crap gig, so we left after 75% of their set. Next day would be Tuska starting.

Tuska turned out to be three days of greatness. Hard work, running around in the burning sun, netwerking and socializing with people at the seconds that we re not photographing or seeing a band to review, hardly having time to eat and drink. Luckily me and elvira form such a good team that we can work it out so that we can also think a bit about ourselves.
It’s important to eat and drink enough in the heat when working so much. Also we were sooo happy because we got to know that the organisation of the festival really really has good faith in us and they support us a lot. Sounds vague, but internet is not the place to be cristalclear about this anyway. We re happy with their support and this is why we love to give this festival our all and everything and work so hard that we have the absolute maximum out of it.
Elvira’s boyfriend was also at the festival (in the crowd) and he didnt got to see much of Elvira so kudos for him being able to deal with that and support us!
Acts that I loved most at the festival are Pain (surprised me with being even better than thought!), Ihsahn!!!!!, Satyricon, Bloodbath (also most dissapointing though, read the review at Tempelores why) FM2000, WASP, Turmion Kätilöt (though I prefer clubgigs more) and Nile.
From all the afterparty shows I like Beyond The Dream and The Enemy Pilot most.
I sneaked out on the last day for an unofficial afterparty in On The Rocks. Rust was playing and they were better than all bands I ve seen in the afterparty. Run into some friends there too, it was great to see them! In the end I went to Dantes, hoped to meet some friends there too, but couldnt really find any people that I was looking for so I chilled it with a drink, realizing that Tuska was already over :(

Monday we went to the haunted woods, where I went urban exploring in October before. Was a great day in wonderful nature of Finland. In the evening we took it calm and went to bed a bit in time. Guess everyone of us had things on their mind and could use a little more energy after the monsterweekend we had at Tuska.

Tuesday I met up with a friend before I left to the airport.
I already missed Finland and everytime I leave it hurts a little more to leave all my friends, my heart and great, positive times behind. But I always know that I will return for a next time, a new event, meet new people etc.

Currently, im back home having all the tuska stuff online. Now doing photoeditting on the things we did around and start planning Amphi, cause amphi festival is coming closer and me and my dear zombiesister Elvira are gonna shine there too. As tradition! we try to go for full coverage, as they keep on schedule as tights as Tuska does, we’ll make it, but unfortunately that is never the case there.
ahh well… we’ll get close! Amphi is a great festival too!
