Eurovision meets Finland


I was just looking for information on tickets for the Eurovision 2007 in Helsinki (hey, I can dream can't I??!) And found a website with up to date information on it all. Apparently they're ahead of schedule in organisation (typical Finns!) although there's been chaos caused by Eurovision 1964 winner Lasse Martenson who's had a lot of his work reproduced without his permission and says the new versions don't do his compositions any justice. Meanwhile, 2006 winners Lordi are still living in the limelight. Company Olvi are currently producing a cola brand, available with 6 different labels designed by the lead singer of Lordi, available in cola and cola light. There have also been two books released on Lordi and perhaps strangest of all a Lordi pattern was published in the knitting magazine Suuri Käsityöleht in August. Gotta get myself one of them! Anyway, tickets are due out around Christmas time so watch this space...

2 things.

1) Olvi is a brewery based out of the town where I was an exchange student during high school. I had not heard this news about the new cola. Awesome.
2) Just because I can. You left off an "i" in Käsityölehti. Because you endured this one, you are hereby declared exempt from future corrections from your truly re: finnish.
