Hej slingers in Helsinki!
Aug 29^th, 2006 at 3:28pm

This saturday and sunday there is a Viking-like event taking place in Pukkisaari island (did i write it correctly?). Right in the middle of Helsinki. So if any of finnish slingers happen to be in the area, you could drop by to sling some stones. I just hope that island is rocky enough. Otherwise its potatoes again Wink

You'll recognise me by a bunch of slings hanging from my belt. Or just find some Latvians there and ask for Reinis.

See ya there

Oooo... Vikings and... Stuff. Sounds spiffy. I may be going to Helsinki on sunday in any case so I might just have to check that out. Exactly what kind of an event will it be?
I did find a site that has to do with, but didn't quite figure out everything that will be going on there. They've built some iron age esque buildings there, but there probably is a lot more to it.

Well, actually i myself don't know what exactly will be going on there...

But from what i understand there will be Viking-stuff market, i guess some bloody (or not) fights on sunday, archery maybe (i'll be bringing some of my bows, so we'll be able to shoot some), usual such medieval-viking-whatever age festival stuff. And slinging, of course!
So if you are in Helsinki, you could as well come and check it out.

Meh... Me and some others were supposed to be there yesterday, but laziness got the better of us. We were supposed to get going, but I took way too long to get to my friends place and one of us was somewhere cruising on a boat and blah blah etc.

Eventually we just decided to go slinging since the event was pretty much over. I never got that paint for finishing them WH minis either. Damn. Whatever, it was fun nevertheless, we watched the ever frightening "pimp my ride" too.

Now working on the principle that I'm english. How exactly do I 'find some latvians' mingled amongst a bunch of scandanavians ?

Some day this might be a useful thing to be able to do :-)
(forget the sling on the belt - presumably that would just be you reinis, not latvians in general)

On a similiar note (just so people don't think I'm being racist, lmao) to find the englishman in a crowd of non-english people. Look for the frustrated red faced man speaking very loudly and slowly saying: ' do you speak english ?'.
The odds are if alcohol is available he'll also be drunk :-)

On a personal note I went to copenhagen a few years back in early december. I was very easy to spot. The only one in the entire city wearing shorts, t-shirt and sandals. All the danes were in coats, gloves and woolly hats. It was around 17 centigrade. Which in december I consider that to be pretty warm and definitely shorts and t-shirt weather :-)
