Just Kidding.

I'm not sure yet will I be in the gig at all. And I live in lahti so fortunately I can't help you. But There's a lot Maiden-fans in Helsinki.

I think I can host you. I live something like 50km from Helsinki, but i don´t think that´ll be a problem. And i´m pretty sure that i´m going to Gothenburg too, so we can make some plans together...give me your e-mail adress, so we can talk more...

Fuck...Your adress is already right there...sorry...

For Chicago Maiden Fan: You can surely trust to A.Kivi. He´s one of the top guys I´ve ever met and great fun to talk to. Bad ass Maiden fan, who writes great analyzes to our site. Always a gentleman despite of heavy drinking

. Welcome to Finland and to Helsinki show!
