So, I paid a visit to the Finns earlier this week and the end of the previous one. It was a nice little trip with many highlight, including:

*Getting freaky face-paintings and then frightening or amusing unsuspecting Finns with them

*Getting plastered with dirty oil money and extra dirty martinis

*Seeing the inside of the Penguin’s lair (though not nearly enough of Lommy herself). There were penguins in there. Literally hundreds of penguins.

*Catching Nogrod and his choir's song and dance performance which was very impressive.

*Hearing Greenie play the kantele and seeing her super-cute smile on a regular basis. On a somewhat related subject: any good drummers around on the 'downs?

*Greenie and Agan reciting poetry in an effort trying to replace my notion of Finnish as a crude language best fitted for profanities. They succeeded. Kind of.

*Discussions about politics with Nogrod, Volo and a bottle of Skåne Aquavit.

*Having the notion of Scottish Dwarwes erased by Volo’s very Russian treatment of Gimli.

*And of course: seeing Leonard Cohen and his classy band playing live in the Hartwall Arena.
