Both me and J made it on time to the Central Railway Station - our buses literally pulled onto the station curb at the exact same time, it was magic, I swear - and got some food before heading to Korjaamo. We accidentally headed in through a back door but then felt like dickheads so we went outside to stand with the others. (I'm pretty sure they would've driven us out at some point anyway.) We hung out with the Club of the Lost Ones and it was a lot of fun. Even A made it in time, and we could stand under an awning so the occasional drizzle didn't bother us. The Korjaamo staff kept trying to persuade us to go inside into the bar area. Even Arto came up to us at the front of the line and hung out for a couple of minutes.
We made it inside eventually, and to the front row. There were extremely awkward people next to us - we're pretty sure that the one who asked J out was actually gay and just didn't know it yet. The show was up to par - for Pariisin Kevät, awesome obviously - and I got to high five Antti and the sound guy gave me one of the setlists. Arto also danced in front of us like 7 times. HA. Every show, I swear. I bought a band shirt that has a 4-eyed dobermann head on top of a triangle and a "PARIISIN KEVÄT" text.
I made some progress on A's book yesterday, as well! I glued in and drew some pages and pre-cut the pictures for several more. I figured that if I had pre-cut images, the glueing portion might go faster as well? I don't know. Putting the glue on made me a bit irritated, it kept smudging everywhere. But I'll live.
I can't glue the drawn portraits on until I've scanned them, though. And I can't scan anything as of now, since our upstairs desktop is being odd about the network connections. Sigh.
I'm going to start working on the book again! Let's hope today's calendar chocolate won't leave a bad taste in my mouth.
