The Saturday evening started with a visit at the Le Fee Verte where I met the swedish fans and had a possibility to enjoy a few beers. The Swedes claims that the quality of Finncons is measured in the amount of new beers they can find. This years Finncon is then quite good I can imagine.
After that it was time to head for Lozzi where the main party was held. The restaurant was hot like hell but the terrace was quite cool and the evening was spent walking from table to table, talking to people and enjoying myself. The talk was about all kind of stuff rom science fiction to fandom to litterature and live in regular. One interesting thought was about trying to get the swedishspeaking finns to write a short story about how they think swedishspeaking areas will look after about 60 years. Publish it in a anthology and even try to translate it into Finnish. A thougt well worth thinking about. Walking around and talking to people made me realize that this is what Finncon and fandom is all about. Meating people with the same interests and feeling part of something.
After a few hours it was off to Sohwi and around one a clock in the night I went to the hotel for sleep. That was a smart move and I fell asleep almost right away. For my part the Finncon was as great as ever and I have not regretted that I came here.
Sedan bar det av till Sohwi och efter ca ett tiden gick jag till hotellet för att sova. Ett smart drag för jag somnade nästan omedelbart. Summa sumarum så var Finncon partyt lyckad och fick mig väldigt glad att jag kom till Jyväskylä.
Todays completely unnecessary information
Sundays paper Huvudstadsbladet has a great article about Finncon and Iron Sky. Read it and ponder about why you did not come her. Feel ashamed... feel very ashamed.
A few images can be find on my picasawebsite.
