OH gosh, the set list, is it normal that i can't remember...i'll get back on this. One of the roadies threw the set list to folks right next to me, bummer! Kliph's drumstick were also missed by me, damn. Borderline for MJ.

Wayne did the bubble walk, which he didn't do the last time in f.land, so that was cool for me! They couldn't do the laser show, because the official said it might crash some planes at the nearby airport haha. Or something like that. Also, there was no time for a proper encore, because the last band was still to play.

Well, i got some pics too

It was just so great. I can't believe i used to dislike Sundays. Sundays are most excellent days.

Cheers!

And why do record stores close so early? I bought a Boris CD and they stuck the wrong disc in it. When I went to return it, they were already closed. Now I'm stuck with some piece of shit 80's Roxy Music CD I didn't want.

The formula is to mix some Russian and Swedish genes with some 24-hour sunshine. And loads of make-up!

Hey man, that's not so cool about the cd. Which store was it, i'll send an angry e-mail. On a rather stalker-y note, i saw you there and thought about coming to talk and say i'm this crazy person from the board and you're so cool, but i was too shy.

Aw, you should've said "hello." Then you could have warned me that record stores close early. And I could pretend I have a friend in Finland.

And I don't know the name of the place. All I know is that it's about a 5 minute walk from the hotel we're staying at. Pathetic, huh?

And I have to say that a lot of the ladies I've seen don't seem to be wearing that much make up. Maybe they're just really good at making it look natural.

And whatever the combination is - it works.

I accept the compliments on behalf of all Finnish ladies and say thank you!

It's not as pathetic as me and my sister in Helsinki, we don't live anywhere near and we got totally ripped off by one taxi driver, i think he took us on a spontaneous sigh seeing tour. You and us, all got f.ed in Hellsinki. But it sure was fun! Yeah!

I promise to be brave enough to come talk the next time, you guys totally have to come Smile

Anything new broken out?

Did you guys do Silver Trembling Hands again?

If it's up to me, we'll play there a bunch. Everybody was really nice and it was one of the better shows we've played in a long time. Plus, like I said, the ladies are really nice to look at.

The setlist sounds about right to me. It's so funny, i should write them down as they are played. But heck, i'm always focused on partying.

Yeah, i thought it looked like you guys enjoyed the show as much as i did. I thought the whole atmosphere was excellent, from you and from the audience. It was to me just perfect.

And i live in Joensuu, i think it's about 285 miles drive to Helsinki. But it really was worth the trip!

Anything for the rock.

I don't really mind, i like how seeing bands becomes this huge thing with all the traveling and hotel rooms in a country like this. It takes some will and effort hah

Yeah, we did. I was going to drive, but recently i went to an AC/DC gig in Helsinki by car and decided i'm never ever driving in that city again. So 12 hours of sitting in the train all together... thank god for Ipods.
