We went to see Supersuckers and Nashville Pussy play Tavastia yesterday. Had a beer and watched the show, nothing special. There are much worser ways to spend a tuesday evening anyway, so it was ok. Supersuckers were kinda boring, well at least I expected more. Nashvillle Pussy was loud as fuck and rocked really hard, but the gig was way too long. I think they played like 50 songs or something. Yes the camera is still broken, so I didn't get any footy or pics. Here are a few videos from the bands so you can see for yourself what I'm talking about.
This was held a few weeks ago. It was too full of people and it sucked. Great thing was that Other Side Tattoo had their own stand which had couches to sit on. So I ended up sitting there for 5 hours talking a lot of BS. Timppa had the best coffee in the business! Cheers! Here are a few shots from the show.
This is Timppa's Triumph. One of three he has now days.
Another shot of the same bike.
Juho's pre-unit.
And here it is again.
Tony build this Evo chopper.
Here is Andy's bike. Flying Choppers Finland. Has won many awards.
Look how skinny it is.
Some classic racers.
Tony and Miku kicking it on the couch.
Timppa and Juho. The gravity has really gotten a hold of Timppa... Or maybe it's the coffee?
One sunday I was very tired and skated like shit (which is pretty usual). Well then there was Duke who wanted to test his flashes, so I ended up doing 50 fs. rock'n rolls. Luckily that is the one trick I can do properly.
Went to the opening party yesterday. Ate some potato chips, drank some wine, talked a lot of bs and looked at some pics. Spicoli was in charge of the punch... he was pretty wasted already before the place opened...
Paul Cochrane, Ville Flink & Kaarle Hurtig
Field Notes is a collaborative exhibition between three individuals heavily involved in Helsinki skate scene. Only common path between the work of these three might be just that. Paul went to Africa, Ville went all over, Kaarle just went completely bezerk. Photographs and then some.
Helsinki Ink 2009 15th International Tattoo Convention will be held at Kaapelitehdas in March. The exact dates are from friday the 13th to sunday the 15th.
Let's get our skins ruined! I'll be there for sure.
Here are some pics from last year:

This is Jumbo wurkin' hard.
Each board was made by an finnish tattoo artist and then they were auctioned for charity.
They sure know how to park in Germany. Some dude flew 35 meters from the road and landed through a church's roof. That car is 7 meters from the ground. I bet this dude doesn't go to church.
