We're (me, Laura and Fredrik) apparently going to miss Steelfest as that's when we're supposed to go to Äänekoski.

by **markku1** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:27 am

Only on Saturday, but if you're really coming I can pick you up something of the Helsinki!

I wasn't aware of Steelfest or maybe I just dismissed the festival because there are no bands that I want to see, but if you want to go, we can just tag along and drink beers :lol:

No bands!!??

I'd probably go see Entombed, but they play in Copenhagen on the 11th of May, so I'm not really interested in seeing them again a week later. I probably would see Taake too, but that's about it.

laura THE CROWN you need to see!!!!!

As everybody talks about them, I'm listening to them right now. And ok, they are not too bad

by **Memnoch** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:11 am

Yeah, there are few bands I'd like to see, but then again, most of those I've seen plenty of times already or will see on other festivals or in some of the clubs in Helsinki. Entombed is great live, but I've seen them at least ten times already. And I'm not that big on The Crown.

Well, it's your call :) We don't want to ruin your plans! It will be fun no matter what we do

by **Memnoch** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:53 am

Yeah, there's still time to think things through. We'll see.

I really want to go to Tuska at some point but this line up doesn't do much for me. Though that's probably a good thing, since I'm not going hehe

by **MadameLePink** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 1:14 am

So new addictions Exodus, Napalm Death, Arcturus, A.R.G. and Ramin Kuntopulko. Meh :cry:

by **Memnoch** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 1:42 am

Arcturus is a good addition as is Napalm Death. Ramin Kuntopolku I've never heard of, one would think it's some kind of all star band. Apparently it's a grind act, so it could be good.

Well, thinking of it I don't believe there are more than a couple of bands that we both like :mrgreen:

gnoff wrote:as per

"Confirmed bands For TUSKA 2012 at this point:"

I guess we'll get more bands too?

That's the impression I got. Not many though, maybe 5-6.

by **Memnoch** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 2:53 am

It's the Koff III, mellanöl (up to 4,7% alcohol). :beerwink:

by **markku1** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 8:30 am

Saturday's headliner yet to come I think !! + 6 more bands i hope

by **markku1** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 8:36 am

or MACHINE HEAD !!

by **markku1** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 8:47 am

Machine Head is not going to during tuska a gig in a Greece!!

Arcturus is not my thing as a whole, they have good passages, but in every song they are freaking out at least once (See rhiannon, I can use proper musical terms)
but since rhiannon seems to have this as a super add, I'll probably check out at least one song with her before I go beer up

i figured arcturus would be WAYY TOO WEIRD for you, and yes, they are quite often freaking out! it is highly likely that i will be freaking out during their set as i have never seen them....they've never been to the US (though they were supposed to do a ProgPower performance).

gnoff wrote:So as for BaconiFestivali, if we decide, and are allowed, to hang out at Riikka's place, how do we get there exactly?
And who will meet up with me (and possibly my mates) at the central station and guide me there?

Am I supposed to bring anything?

Sure, it's still more than 13 weeks to go, but things will ehat up in June and I want all plans sorted well before that

Well, we are not having it at Riikka's place, but in a big party facility in the basement. She lives in Tapanila and there's a train station there. If you come straight from the airport you shouldn't need to go to the central station as Tapanila is closer, but I guess Ville can give you better directions. Any one of us can come and pick you up at Tapanila station or at a bus stop in the area. Riikka lives very close to the station.

If we go for the bacon tasting, you just need to bring some swedish bacon, I guess. Or some bacon flavoured things, if you happen to find any that you think would be fun to taste. We'll get beers for you when we go shopping with Rhia and then you can settle the bill with her or us afterwards.

by **MadameLePink** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 6:21 am

I looked it up on the journey planner and it looks like you have to take bus no. 61 or 53 from the airport and go to Tikkurila. From there you take the train to Tapanila. The complete trip takes around half an hour :)

this would be nice addition to the TUSKA Set!! (they have never played in Finland, I do not understand why)?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9-HUWx2 ... st_related

by **Memnoch** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 3:05 am

They haven't played in Finland because they suck. Big time. :beerwink:

by **Memnoch** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 3:08 am

gnoff, at what time will you be at the Helsinki airport on the Thursday? I or Riikka could come pick you up from there if not too late.

Oh, and the better route planner for Helsinki region is at http://www.reittiopas.fi (www.reittiopas.fi/sv på svenska; www.reittiopas.fi/en in English). :beerwink:

Yes, but no need to plan that. When you get out of the airport, you only need to go to the bus stop and take the bus to Helsinki center. It's quite easy to find. I think it's no. 615 or if you are in doubt you can take the finnair bus. They both stop at the central station and we can meet you there.
Or we could also meet in Tapanila actually and go shopping there, if you don't have to check in at your hotel/apartment first.

So with waiting for bads and stuff, probably out from the airport by 19:40?

I'm thinking that that would be doable. I'm working till 4pm and driving to Riikka's place during the rush hour takes around an hour (45 minutes if I drive like a maniac :lol:

).
We would have plenty of time to do some shopping and stuff before you arrive. :beerwink:

by **markku1** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 7:04 am

Friday, a couple of whiskey drinks in PIKKULINTU before YOU going to TUSKA gnoff !!!??? VILLE you too if you dare to come the east Helsinki slums???!!

by **markku1** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:57 am

I would say later on Friday!
