Indented lines

I had to learn it the hard way; really cheap plane tickets doesn’t exist unless you buy them months in advance, and killing three hours at an airport can be done by writing a long post on how to kill three hours at an airport. But Finnair does have the funniest instruction videos I’ve ever seen. Going to Helsinki for Assembly 2008 was worth the money.

This was my first party outside Norway, and the one thing that really surprised me was that most of the gamers actually did kill all audio and lights when told to do so. Smash told me that some hardcore gamers just put a towel over their head and screen to continue playing, but I still think it deserves some credit.

Being at the party place was ok, even with the security check. I think the scene booth organized by Truck was great, even though I don’t have anything to compare it to. It was nice to see someone walk up to the booth and ask a lot of questions. I’m happy about missing out on Hesburger, and sad that it took me two days to find the Pizza Hut.

Boozembly was a lot more fun, even with the rain. I found out that Sauli can be a very nice guy, that you don’t need toothpaste when you have mintu, that guys in kilts got nothing under and that kiitos means thanks. I sure hope information like this will be useful to someone someday.

It’s always nice to see old friends, like Spiikki, again and even nicer knowing that you can still pick up where you left two years ago. And it’s fun meeting the skilled people you’ve admired for a long time. Actually telling them that got a bit easier when I managed to stop being so shy.

I always find it difficult to keep it short and still cover the most important things, so I just want to say the following; I think the 4k by Portal Process and TBC rocks, and the 64k by Fairlight did impress me. Thanks to Leia and Little Bitchard for letting me crash at their place. And thanks to Gargaj for being awesome.
