Last week I was in Helsinki for a Core Spring course. The course was fun and so were the evenings. Normally I plan to have one relaxed evening in the hotel, but that didn’t happen this time.

On Thursday we went to Tavastia. A greek guy I met a few weeks ago (in Amsterdam) suggested I go to Tavastia to see some rock bands. So I checked out the agenda and yesterday night, Mustach was on, a Swedish metal band. Some of the training attendees went along and we had a fun night out. Funny was that as of late, the Finnish clubs have their gigs quite early in the evening, to accommodate for people that need to get up early the next day. So the gig started at 9.30pm already, which was quite convenient.

Motoriser was first and then Mustach and both were quite good. Tavastia is the self-proclaimed no. 1 rock venue in Finland and has hosted several famous names such as Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC and Black Sabbath.

At work things were pretty hectic too, so in addition to the occasional beers, I also had to work quite a bit in the evenings… Oh well, the weekend promises to be good, there’s wind and all, so that should be fun.
