Tornio rocks! 26/9/2014

Haataja

Yesterday was so busy I didn't get a chance to update anything in here.
After a long good night sleep I woke up when Haataja (master of the lights) told me we would be going to Haaparanta in Sweden, so I had just half an hour to get myself together and jump in "the Egg". We went to a snuff store and stopped to eat something in a big shopping center just next to the border.

Make Up

Back at the hotel I had to start doing my preparations for the gig of the night. So I did my make up and then left to the venue Toranda.
Toranda is a big venue with a big concert hall, restaurant and terrace. It was established last year in November.

After the soundcheck I started putting up the merchandise desk because we still don't have anyone with us to sell our stuff. Juuso came along with his broken leg. Yes, Juuso broke his leg in a trampoline. On Thursday when we were spending our day off at Kalajoki we found a big trampoline in the front yard. Pyry, Eero and Juuso felt like kids again and started jumping on it until Juuso hurt his ankle while attempting to do a back flip. It's healing pretty well now but he still has to be careful when stepping on his foot.

We were in a new situation with Juuso's leg and were wondering how is he gonna manage going through the show. No problem! He took some painkillers and beer and did his part as well as always.

Surprisingly, we were told not to bow to the audience after our show, something that we do every time, so we apologize Tornio people! We're gonna thank the audience by bowing the next time we're in Tornio on a show of our own.
The audience was awesome, thank you Tornio! Even though we were there for the first time, the people took us in their embrace better than we could have been expected.

Merchandise

After our show I got to the merch desk with Juuso and there were already a lot of people waiting for us. Let the chaos begin! It seemed the people of Tornio liked us. Hope we get back here again next year or so.

Nice stage :)

Pretty soon after Accept had started their show we started packing our stuff but it took a while because there was always someone coming to buy something. We had to leave the venue early because of the early wake up the next morning. We need to be traveling 10 hours to Tampere for a sold-out show in Pakkahuone. This is so great!

We got back to the hotel and tried to get some sleep while listening to the noise from the karaoke bar downstairs. Lovely, lovely tones!

See you later Tornio and see you people in Tampere in a while!
