Poets of the Fall – J\u00e4rvenp\u00e4\u00e4; June 11th 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

Already I\u2019ve been to Finland so often this year that upon arrival at D\u00fcsseldorf airport in the morning I could not recall how many times it has been \u2013 no wonder people keep asking me if I\u2019m gonna move there. I never looked up the gate, just went to the usual exit and of course it was right. Funny.<\/p>\n

Beautiful weather greeted me in Helsinki \u2013 20 degrees sun, summer \ud83d\ude42 Stayed downtown for a while, then went to\u00a0my friend I.\u2019s apartment as usual \u2013 feels like coming home by now. I am so glad I always have a place to stay with her. It was a quiet evening before the concert the next day.<\/p>\n

Could have slept late, but was actually up shortly after 8. Unfortunately the skies were grey, but forecast for J\u00e4rvenp\u00e4\u00e4 was better than for Helsinki so there was still hope. I left around noon, got some food on the way and arrived in J\u00e4rvenp\u00e4\u00e4 in the rain. I was there two hours before the doors opened and spent those two hours entirely alone walking back and forth in the rain \u2013 talk about feeling stupid. Met up with K., got in, set down in the drinks tent. Nobody went to the front until 5 minutes before Egotripi started. They were well worth listening to \u2013 fun. I even understood a little bit of what they said and of the lyrics.<\/p>\n

When they were done it was time to bring out my banner. It was still raining hard and we were alone in front row for quite some them. The Poets set up their gear, almost each one of them waved at me when they came out to check on their instruments. Yep, I must be famous \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Show stared on time at 19:30 \u2013 the usual setlist minus \u2018Heal my Wounds\u2019. I have the feeling that one is gone for good \ud83d\ude41 \u2018The ultimate fling\u2019 was back in the set though. \ud83d\ude42 The rain didn\u2019t really stop during the gig and the security guards kept people from taking pictures so I left my camera in my pocket.<\/p>\n

This was my 20th Poets of the Fall gig and the first one where I didn\u2019t take one single picture. And didn\u2019t feel the need to either. They were in a great mood, all of them. Ollie did funny little dances and made faces. Marko … was being Marko \ud83d\ude00 He talked tons (of which I understood maybe 20%) and was joking all the time. There were so many funny little things this time of which I already forgot most, but I know I was laughing almost for the entire gig. One thing I remember is that Marko was whipping Jaska with the mic chord…. Jani was wearing a very cool \u201cOld Gods of Asgard\u201c T-Shirt. I want one! I think it even had tourdates on the back…<\/p>\n

During\u00a0 \u2018War\u2019 we sang together. \u201eWith no one showing their real face, it\u2019s a whiteout of emotion and I’ve only got my brittle bones to break this fall\u201c \ud83d\ude42 Yeah, I know I must be boring you, but these little moments mean a lot to me. During \u2018Change\u2019 I started the arms waving again (as we had done in St. Petersburg) and K. and N. next to me joined in. Then Ollie and Captain did it on stage too. We were all in rhythm and a few people even did it together with Ollie and Captain. Then Marko screwed it all up because he tried to get everyone to do it, but broke the rhythm, by starting to wave to the other side (instead of mirroring us). Then K. tried to follow him and we fell out of it. Funny moment. I\u2019m not giving up, eventually we\u2019ll start a trend there. =P<\/p>\n

I jumped about a lot and finally was no longer cold in my wet clothes. It was wonderful. I don\u2019t think there is such a thing as a bad POTF gig. Despite the bad conditions it left a huge smile on my face.<\/p>\n

Saw Ollie after the gig. N. called out to him and he came to hug us \u2013 sweet. Once again he thanked me for coming. Hey, really I should thank you for all the wonderful memories. :D.<\/p>\n

Soon after we left and went back to Helsinki. Nice end to the evening with pizza, a good bottle of wine and a blast from the past with the movie \u2018Fame\u2019. On to Kokkola the next day.<\/p>\n
