I need a stress-free-vacation in Barcelona with Kari so much right now. Finland is taking a bit too much from me at the moment. Life is hard, except above the roofs of Catalunya.

Yeaahh from old to new. It was once again time to refresh my portfolio at www.juliuskonttinen.com!

Dumari

Dumari it was as Timo cleverly knew. Great, intense gig it was.

Guess who?

He is one of the most charismatic men ever.

Random chick about to inhale helium from a balloon.

This girl is a reader of this blog, at least she said so! And I can't remember if promised her to put this photo here or not to put it here. Either way, it is now here!

long evenings

Today we had this spinrg's first proper outdoor rides. The weather was still a bit cold but all in all it was still really enjoyable. Couldn't imagine a summer without long evening riding trips with friends. This shot from Diego planning a handrail is from last summer.

Easing

Aki is Finland's happiest sound guy. He is just the right guy to ease our Sunday night.

being a part of history by accident

THIS... WAS.... FUCKING... DOPE! AWESOME! KILLER! UNBELIEVABLE! 
INDESCRIBABLE!!

JESUS.......

95 x 11

You already know what the score was. This country has gone insane - and I love it!!

95!! AGAIN!!

Suomi perkele! We're in the finals against Sweden today! Finland is going to be the new world champion, no doubt! Lacrosse-airhook-goals and after that: NY RILLATAA JA TORILLA NÄHDÄÄN!!

Spring is here! And so are the leaves! Awesome! Great! Fantastic! (Blogspot was down for few days so that's why you go no posts.)

Sunset in Tampere, and hockey match

a boat

Watching hockey

Yeah, Go Finland! Russia was nothing today! On Saturday the ice hockey match wasn't as interesting, nor the beautiful lake scenery of Tampere in sunset in the background. Apparently smartphones were the thing..

Skateboarding & chilling at 1 am in a backyard miniramp is quite cool, except if you're a neighbour trying to catch some sleep. Yesterday was the first super hot day in Finland. Couldn't imagine a better way to spend it than in a chill house party in Tampere with good buddies. Thank you Mikael!

Friday's fancy double-exposure

Send-off II

Today was the farewell party of our other minister, Ms. Sinnemäki - another victim of jytky. Damn politics...

One of the best gigs ever

Wappulounas (still) on my mind :-)

Send-off

We had the farewell party of minister Pekkarinen today as he isn't continuing in his post because of the jytky Timo Soini gave us. He's a great guy, or at least that much I happen know him. All good for him in the future.

This is how Jyväskylä rolls in Wappulounas.

Feeling like a champ

Finally home after a long day full of travelling and trying to remember all the magnificent things Wappulounas once again offered us. As usual, the event didn't let anyone down. See you next year, no doubt. In year 2012 we have to make a longer trip cause these two days were just not enough. Here is my man Waisa cheering after not clearing the gap and but clearing the crocodile's mouth!
