The penguin

A lonely penguin in the Finnish winter night.

Last week we had a gig where the events manager not only treated the customer with some Fork but also gave them a spectacular ice sculpture show. It was amazing to see what skilled people can do with a piece of ice. Now, the evening could have turned out to be just one of those gigs where everything goes exactly like planned without any surprises. But this time the ice sculpturing must have been a bit too much for the events manager because when we met him, after the soundcheck when everything was still fine,  he immediately started yelling a bunch of non-understandable things to us about mixing table being in the wrong place and us destroying the whole gig etc. It was quite an experience and we more or less looked like a bunch of question marks and since any attempt to discussion led nowhere we transported ourselves back stage to calm down and figure out what to do next.

Well, what happened next was this:
The events manager came back stage, he apologized for being stressed and behaving like such an you know what,  we said everything was cool, we put on our make up, did a good gig for a great audience and everybody was happy.

Two bottles of sparkling was brought to us with a note saying Sorry for us complaining. :)


We had another gig last week as well where these wonderful ladies took such good care of us.

Now we are back in rehearsals.

Really looks like they know what they are doing.
