How soon would I need to get hotel accommodations set?
Memnoch wrote:I'd say that any hotel in the Helsinki region (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa) should do. The public transport works well even in the nighttime (ok, there are LOTS of drunken Finns on the night buses).
But because next summer Helsinki has so many different international events, you should try and book early. Funnily most Finnish hotels don't give deals on Expedia or similar, so I'd check the hotel chains' websites for prices and availability.
Here's some sites:

I'll look into the cheaper choices in Helsinki. I think the student housing company HOAS has a summer hotel (next to the place where Heavy Corner used to be); there are some small independent hotels as well.

I've done it once so far

Perhaps I can get me a Hypocrisy and Pain announcement for Tuska?
I'd be all

If you like the energy of Overkill with a more blackened metal vibe i think you will love Skeletonwitch. Just don't want you to miss out if they were not on your radar....Laura, Fredrik, gnoff, Markku, etc!

Mycket bra! Ja för fan! hey just out of curiousity, what language do you and Fredrik speak the most together? besides the language of awesome?

With Laura speaking excellent Danish and me speaking a refined Swanish my response would be "We speak Danish". I would assume that Laura's response would that she speaks Danish and Fredrik speaks Retard.

I'm fluent in Moron too, but Laura doesn't speak it, so it's of little use at home, except when I write poetry.

Too late, honey...
Basonfläsk, Pancetta, Tunnt Skivad Gris
Honour its’ taste, and thy shalt find peace
From the proud ports of Gothenburg, to the Colorado streets
It’s the holy grail of snacks, and the unicorn of meats
The single thing that Morons love the most
Is to unleash its’ fucking fury over eggs and crispy toast
