What a week! well technically 10 days. So even more fun!!! Loads of friends and bands. Loads of party, loads of photo’s.
I cant just tell everything that happened because there are some things that should not be on the internet anyway… :D
so uhm first night… Throw Away Heroes, Edward and another band that totally fucked up, who’s name I already forgot. Edward was nice… but they have a bit of a cocky attitude on the stage. dunno if that suits their personality, but it certainly hold me from liking them more.
Next day was Metalorgy. I woke up really early and I felt it was a good day for baking a pie. I made it a Metalorgy pie and I had to guard it all the time because people wanted to eat it already (pics will come!) I enjoyed watching the bands and loved the chaos all around. Met some people at the upper part of Nosturi who I talked with. And I heard that everyone loved the pie so that made my day also. :D
next day I slept quite a lot, but went out for a walk to Munkkisaari in the afternoon. One of my fave places in Helsinki town. In The evening Tsukicon, a festival with Japanese bands. A really interesting experience!
Monday I went shopping a bit, but didnt buy anything. In the evening I went to OnThe Rocks and saw two bands…
Tuesday me and Mikko met up and went urban exploring… I had found a map to this place and we had an awesome day in this wonderful location. Definitely will go there again!!
On The Rocks again in the evening… I got kinda addicted to the Rockstar energy drink. Yumyum!
Wednesday was the day I went to Tampere… My old hometown! Me liked a lot! In the evening I went shooting WASP which was great! well ok… shitty lights but WASP was great… Ok didnt expected different. ;)
Went to Inferno for afterparty till late!
Thursday I woke up late, but went shopping a bit in the afternoon. Got my presscard for Lost in Music and watched some bands in Klubi.
Friday the festival started at 3 with some singer/songwriters and that was fun. Went to Ravintola Artturi as soon as they ended and ran into Poisonblack people. Surprise! was fun, so were the bands playing there. After that some crisscross running from venue to venue to end up in the horrible bar of Ilves to see deep insight. they played good! after that I didnt feel like walking to Klubi anymore and went to bed, to get ready for the last day of the festival…
again singersongwriters to start with… both very awesome! instantly fell in love with them. Then Artturi again and then: Klubi/pakkahuone, Dogs home, Yo-talo, Klubi.
In Yo-Talo there was this guy giving us beer, while he got told that I didnt drink beer. Soooo… did a sort of trick with an empty glass… filling it half and then show the half empty glass to the dude… and I hoped to be able to put the rest away in a bit but on the other side there was this guy which saw me doing this… totally staring like: WTF?!?! so he kinda spoiled the trick… Hey I just didnt want to be rude by refusing the drink… anyway… The toilet as excuse and then we sneaked out. And our afterparty went on for a while… one hour longer than we had thought… because the time was granted with an extra hour due to the summertime. ;)
today… I haven’t left the building yet… spend some time doing photo’s and typing… Now I have to pack my suitcase and Maybe I do a quick drink somewhere, but its not likely.
DAMN I will miss my beloved Tampere… Such a great time! Met such nice people! and good to see old friends back…
but ok that also counts for Hesa of course.
Anyway… I wish I could stay :(
Saw them in Paradiso! photo’s under concerts! take the second Friska Viljor gallery, the first one is from Open Flair Festival
Yes, I am happy this time. I got my mark from the extra assignment I did and dunno how high it was exactly, but high enough to make me passed this subject and then on mutation date of 08-10-2009 I got it on my list! The teacher still says it was in the system one week earlier already… But I dont complain anymore because “Nothing is wrong with the system” It’s just me anyway. Hallelujah!
Now only a few more to go before I can actually go and collect my diploma!
And now I have some other news. I can welcome a 70-200mm 2.8L IS usm to my family!!!
I am so happy with it! Now I need to train my thin wrists to handle it hahaha but it will work out eventually!
I took it out for some shooting already and made some autumn photo’s. But then again… I also used other objectives for that. But well… let’s just see some photo’s here:
