I think you should steal your friends lap top more often Its been nice having you back...like the old days I should be booking my flights for the festival in June in the next couple of weeks. I really can't wait....new songs from our boys really is getting me excited..esp going on what Lauri said about the album.

Te Finnish tour hasn't been announced yet but I asked him when they were coming back to the UK and he said they are doing Finland first. One of the venues will be at the Tavastia in Helsinki- which should be amazing because thats a great club. As for the something special...he said it with a real grin. It was when I asked him about the album. He confused us at first by saying October and April but then he said about the special thing in April. Im thinking mybe a tour over here or maybe another dvd??? We sent him a big package a couple of days ago too. We sent him a thankyou card and some gifts to remember us by lol. Its his birthday this Saturday too bless him. You should see what we sent him..it was all stuff that we spoke about on the night. We sent him a bondage kit because of joke about his shirt ( he found that very funny lol) Some cotton socks, Tea bags and some Vodka! God I would pay to see his face when he opens it Ive just read a very very recent interview with him too. He mentins us going to Japan in it. Its a amazing interview that nearly had me crying by the end - I think it hit me how lucky we were esp when he says he doesn't trust people and he doesn't talk to fans etc etc. Its a funny interview too because for the first time he talks about the history of the band. About him and Eero playing jokes at school and him with his baggy jeans and his spray cans bless him. Eero and him having a flat and pizza boxes everywhere. Oh and when they were 17-18 they use to come over to the UK a lot and sit in Hyde park getting drunk in the summer Heres some of the pics from the article. I can't tell you that my respect for him has just gone through the roof. I no longer really seeing him as that gorgeous guy but as a really talented anddown to earth guy - with a wicked sense of humour. *big sigh* I do miss him...roll on July and Himos festival! Nice to see ya back too Claire! Ive missed ya loads lol Katie xxxxx

What can I say Captain??!! your bloody right at that lol So looking forward to the Finnish festivals this summer. I can't wait to see all the guys again, im off to see 69 eyes tomoz in Glasgow - they flippin rock too!!

total madness......i would never say we are friends now but I will say maybe its not just plain simple fan no more. I will say though Im no longer nervous around him at all now. He's just not scary any more..now Aki on the other hand lmao He took us under his wing totally and was our host for the night. I can't explain how lovely the guy actually is...I couldn't possibly describe how funny he actually is and how I will probably never see that side of him again. The album should be out in Oct if he stays out of the bar and something special in April (he wouldn't say what). And Finnish tour also first....looks like I will be going to that also ! Katie xxxxxxx

*bump* can't go to page two lol

Ok here goes..... Firstly 69 eyes...f***ing amazing!!!! Words can't descibe how brilliant they were. I was so torn about who to look at first lmao. Bazie, Jussi and Jyrki and the gorgeous Timo.....4 guys that had my eye all night Jyrki... Jussi Timo I was at the front with Jayne when Lucy hit me on the shoulder and said that Lauri and Pauli had just walked in. I tell you turning around to see them made me nearly fall over. Lauri had seen us and I'm sure he was talking about us to Pauli as he kept nodding over. The night just went crazy after that as we just went hyper for 69 eyes. A highlight for me and Jayne was Timo accidentally kicking some little fan in the head - she was teenie and it made us laugh very much Lynn drooled over Jyrki a little too much as I dribbled over Bazie. I think it was near the end of the set I left the front to go to toilet with Lucy. Now this was funny....as we got to entrance to the toilets only one person was blocking the bloody door...yep My Ylonen was leaning on the back of a seat with his ass sticking right out. We had to shimmy right past that lovely butt as Pauli watched on As we came out Lauri had sat down and nodded to me as I walked pass. I never saw Pauli after that as I'm sure he left once 69 eyes had played. I went back to the front and finished rocking with Jyrki and co. Seriously can not tell you how good they were - can't wait till next week to see them again. Anyway gig ended and as we looked around we saw Lauri back behind us. Jayne stepped forwards and went to speak to him but someone walked in front. He nodded and smiled but seeing as he was busy we stepped away but then within seconds he was with us. He came over and was asking how we knew of 69 eyes and how long we have liked them. It was lovely because we had the group picture and he was so at ease with us. But then he had to pee - as he put it so nicely lol so he went but we were very happy that we had our little conversation. The group pic... (The guy on the left is Fred..as in Fred and Nick who do all the video's and even did the dvd for them.) While he was gone we watched and laughed at poor Jyrki lugging all the bags too and throw as the rest of the band were drinking. Poor soul looked so fed up. Jussi was about then and looked absolutely gorgeous as usual. Timo sort of staggered past then, so we nabbed him for a picture which was so funny. I'm sure we looked just as pissed as each other.... Once Timo had wobbled off good old Lauri came back again and that's where all the fun started.... Now it would be lying if I said our conversation stayed clever all night but it so didn't! We started off clever and by the end of the night ended up talking about tea bags...I mean what was that about Lauri???!!!! Ok Lauri came back and started talking to us again. I can't remember everything but I know he called us crazy for going to see TR and 69 eyes play abroad. But I know Jayne said we have so much fun and get to travel and see parts of the country we will never see other wise. He totally got it then bless him. We also mentioned that we had been to Helsinki a few weeks before and looked impressed. We told him about nights out at Lost and Found and he had a huge grin across his face. We all sat back and waited for him as we could see he was trying to describe something but he didn't know how to say it. It was so fecking funny as he just goes..."Its a gay bar!" all of us started to laugh and just went "We know!" to him. OMFG we told him about Lynn pulling the bird on the last night which he found very funny, I do believe he laughed and pointed at her and just went "arrgghhh I see now" We were rolling at him as he then went onto tell us about what happens to him when he is in there. Using Lucy as a demo he walked up to her and said.. . "I get pretty boys coming up to me and stroking me" now imagine him going all limp and stroking Lucy's arm in a very gay way! Priceless I tell you!!!! We were rolling yet again! Then came the moment he noticed me wearing my Rasmus top. He laughed and pointed as he put his hand to his heart. I covered my chest up as I told him to f*** off beacuse I felt like a prat now he was here. He laughed at me so I then had to point out that Jayne was wearing her Rasmus hoodie around her waist. He laughed and cue the cheeky grin as he said... "spam and ass...great advertisement" I tell you the look he gave me as he said it made me blush! And not many people can do that to me lol We mentioned we had seen the Life burns video which shocked him because I don't think he knew it was about yet as he asked where we had seen it. Next came us showing him our skill in speaking Finnish or should I say after speaking to him the lack of skill. Lynn was trying to say Apple juice and Vodka in Finnish but Lauri's face just drew a blank. So again she tried to say it...still the blank look. So she told him what she was saying so he said it and then Lynn made me laugh.... "Yeah that's what I said!!" we all laughed as I then pointed out what the f*ck was we drinking in Helsinki as she was saying it wrong. LMFAO as Lauri goes.. "Yeah what was you drinking.." followed by a cute little shuffle of a dance. Then came us saying "Miksi" to him (means why in Finnish) he looked so confused again as he then told us how to shorten it down. I do believe our Finnish lesson was successful. I got onto talking to him about our trip to Helsinki again and how we travelled up to Tampere to see Negative play. We told him about us going to walk on the ice and he said it was amazing although bless Jayne she had to mention about me going all girly and doing a runner as I heard the ice crack - yep he was laughing again. Then Lynn made me laugh beyond belief.... pointing a finger at him she told him not to laugh at her for liking Uniklubi. I don't think he dared laugh even if he wanted to But I do believe they had a nice conversation about them after Lynn said everyone she spoke to about them said she needed to see a doctor. Ok the next cheeky thing to come from him was when he accidentally hit Lucy on the breast and he said sorry. Lucy said it was more then ok as he laughed and pretended to grab her breast Him recreating the Life Burns video was also very funny. Him crouching down and pretending to wave a stick of fire about. Then him straightening himself up and saying...”I had a lot of fun making that video”- yeah we can tell mate! We then told him our favourite bit was when he lights the stick and then does the grin after. Cue him then showing that bit too - fecking brilliant I tell you. Then one of my high lights was being introduced to Fred ( as in Fred and Nick who do all the video’s etc). He was a lovely guy and so funny too, he asked us what we wanted to see in the next video. And us being clever people, all we could get out was....”Make Lauri more devious”. Yeah he laughed at us and then said...”Like Devil horns etc?” we all went “Hell yeah!” Then Lauri asks if we wanted it more like Devils advocate? which we really liked the sound of! He lights a fag then really slowly with a devilish grin across his face tosses the match to one side and grins. Just like that mate!!! was all we could say lol Then Jayne starts the conversation off that I swear has to be one of the funniest things of the night. She reminded him of when he put on the bunny ears in Barcelona - now his face was a picture- he pulls a face at Jayne and then does something that made me nearly wet myself through laughing. He gets his fag and points it at her pretends to put it out on her, with sound effects of...”tissssss....tissss”. I was rolling with laughter as he did that until Lynn goes...”Well you put them!”. His little face goes blank so he pulls his empty glass up and hides behind it sticks to fingers up at her. Totally priceless I tell you- to see it was one of the funniest things ever. Then Fred says he has to go so he says to Lauri not to us that he's gay either lmfaooooo As he walks away we demand Lauri to tell us...apparently they take the mick out of them a lot because Fred and Nick are always together. Now the one down side to the trip was the fact that I had my digital camera and Batts nicked from my bags at the airport- the bastards. But not only did they take them, the cheeky bastards took my fags too. Now you can imagine my face when Lauri lights a fag...me gagging for one and he’s right there smoking! I was so cheeky and asked for one but bless his little heart he actually gave me the one from his mouth. I do believe I had at least 3-4 more from him over the night. One of the things I have to put is again from Lynn....totally classic and so funny how she just came out with it. “OMG its been like 2 hours and I’ve not mentioned it...Liquid mate...Liquid!” Lauri’s face was a picture! especially when we all told him to play it next time they were in the UK. His face was the best when I said that or Chill...then Playboys. His face just went blank when I said playboys...he raised his hand and hit his head and shook it...even more so when I said Funky jam lmao Then he forgot his fellow band members.... “Lauri how are the other guys?” I ask “Other guys?” he replies blankly. “Yeah the other guys....” I repeat. seeing him looking even more blank I say again. “Yeah you know Aki...Eero....” Oh and it was almost like you saw the light bulb click in his little head. He was telling me that Aki and Eero are all at home at the moment and he and Pauli are the only ones in Sweden at the mo. Then everyone buggered off to get a drink so I sat on my stool talking to him about Japan. I said to him that I didn’t know if he remembered us coming to Japan but before I could finish he just smiled and nodded bless him. I told him how ill I had been and that I was coughing up blood etc etc....I’ve never seen someone look so worried and shocked especially when I told him Kelle came back with Pneumonia - such a sweetie bless him. He asked me if I liked Sushi too...I kind of boldly and firmly said no! which made him smile....he app loves it....not surprised really lol Oh god then me asking Lauri if he wore cotton soxs....I lost him totally then. I had to explain that “Bless your little cotton soxs” was a British saying and what we actually meant was he was cute. I still don’t think he got it bless him...must buy him some cotton soxs next time I see him Westayed at the venue for quite a while with him as it was a club too but as it got late he asked us if we wanted to move on so bless his heart we moved onto another pub. The buzz of walking with him and Jyrki I can’t possibly describe but I can tell you how excited Lynn was.... Lauri and Jyrki walking in front of us chatting, Lynn running behind going.... “Jyrki speak Finnish to me!!!” as she reaches for his ass...so bloody funny!!!!! I was killing myself laughing. Then the still silence as we walk in behind them. We listened as Jyrki introduced Lauri to everyone and then us....again funny moment came.... Jyrki : And these are Lauri’s girlfriends! Me : well I aint gonna argue with that. A girl at the side of us was laughing at me as Lynn says something along the lines of ... “I’m not....” as she eyes up Jyrki a little more! Lauri took us to the bar as we all laughed as Jyrki as he just helped himself to the bar even though it was a paying bar!!! Lauri looks at us and goes.... “Lets go help ourselves to the bar too then...” After that we really didn’t see much of him as he came and went a lot. Such a shame because we didn’t even get to say goodbye to him or even thank you. I think the last time we actually saw him was when Lynn was telling him to be good because he had to be up to be in the studio the next day and he kept prodding her. So funny as she batted him off. It was so like she was hitting and thinking...Stop it and act your age...I swear they nearly had a finger fight too lol All in all a fantastic trip to see 69 eyes with a bloody brilliant added bonus...Im not going to lie and I would so do it again in a heart beat. If its at all possible I love the guy even more now although after that night I see him more as a silly little brother....hes just so cheeky and funny. My favourite bit of the night....getting this picture.....I got 3 hugs from him and as he held me for the first time my mate walked away with the camera so she just left Lauri hugging me...bloody fantastic!!!!

OK i have a huge review to post for you again later...... Went to Sweden to see 69 eyes play.....ended up drinking with Lauri all night while asking him if he wore cotton soxs and watching him recreate Life Burns video for us..... gorgeous man and soooooooooooooo entertaining!!! I shall post all later!

bump...... we don't do page two lmao

Im seeing them on Wednesday at Wolves.

I've liked him for years. First saw him in "Let him have it" and then "Shallow Grave" Brilliant actor and a real cutie too.

I like them and Im seeing them next week. They are fab but I don't understand why everyone has gone crazy over them - it's like they have taken over the world lmao

You know one thing that I never got about Helsinki nightlife? was the age limit for the bars. For example you HAVE to be 24 to get into Lost and Found and they do check all ID if they do't think you are. But other clubs sometimes you have to be 25-30 I don't think the age limit went below 24...so strange I tell ya - I mean what do the kids do over there??? esp once they become 18 I think Im going back for a festival and then staying for the week after it...so can't wait!!!

hey matey... My god where do I start!! I had a fantastic time and it was beyond unreal. We arrived about dinner time on Thursday and it just went crazy after that believe me. We did the usual and had a good look around and then headed out to the bars. We had to go to Lost and Found, it's Ville, Lauri's and anyone in music’s local bar. We got told several times how much Lauri and Ville go in there it got boring after a while lmfaooo It was fantastic cuz we drank ourselves stupid and got invited to several after after parties - as they call them! During that first night though I pulled and looking back now probably best I was too drunk to walk as he was alittle older then me shall we say but the best bit was when Iwas kissing a random Finn, Bazie from 69 eyes was sat talking to us too with his friend who we now know is a top producer in Finland ( he happens to be one of the most famous producer in Finland!!) He was laughing at me falling off my stool Bazie is on the right! http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/puski...leemichaels.jpg and this is the link to the pic of the top producer. Then on the way back to the hotel we picked up another Finn called Timo...he kept telling us it wasn't summer but winter so we should be wearing his coat lmao Then we tried to make a snow man but it turned into a ice man!!! cuz all the snow was ice lmao We even saw the Northen Lights although I was too drunk to see them but we did get pics Bloody hell the next morning we felt like total sh*t! we staggered out at midday and went to do some shopping. Got my last Rasmus cd that I needed and then went for food. Now in a local paper we saw a little snippet where Lauri recommended his favourite food places so we had to go to his favourite didn't we???!!!!...a pizza place lol and yes Lauri...it was the best Pizza in Finland!!!!! Us outside Lauri's number 1 choice of where to eat! On the way back from the pizza place we then bumped into Jussi from 69 eyes - how random was that - such a small guy bless him! Jussi is the one on the right. after that we then went and got ready for the next night out...I was a good girl tonight but totally didn't pace myself again and was on the Jagermeister by 11pm. Now I’ve been told that this is Ville’s favourite drink and I can totally see why....its a shot and its bloody good and does the job in minutes lol Ok second night running and again by midnight I was plastered. Bazie was in again with a different bird but still looking very nice bless him. Then just when we had composed ourselves Jussi walked in...or should I say staggered in hehehehehe Was great and we had lots of fun with the Finnish again. And even met a guy from Hertfordshire ( so funny because his accent really mixed between Finnish and English ) We also got told a lot that the Finns love us English folk because we app can drink as much as them and we have a brilliant sense of humour - good on them!!! The next morning we went and got the car so we could drive up to Seinäjoki, was great because we stopped at Tampere on the way. Believe me it is truly the rock Capital of Finland- lots of lovely goths and some cute rock kids every where. We arrived in Seinäjoki early evening and got ready for the gig. Was brilliant as it was in a school sports hall - was a little crazy cuz the main band are really good but everyone was there for the support band - who might I add look like a really young Rasmus bless them. This is Negative - who went to see....sooo slashy and so bloody good live! We also saw Laura there too - one of the wee Finnish girls that came over for the Rasmus tour too. We had a fab time at the gig and the band really blew me away - they were off there heads but still very good. We travelled back to Helsinki the next day and again stopped off at Tampere but this time we went down by the sea and seeing as the locals were far out on the ice we decided too. Although walking on the sea really disturbed me, even more when I heard the ice crack. You’ve never seen me run so fast in all my life. us on the frozen sea! After my near death experience we started travelling again. We finally got back to Helsinki and once again got ready to go out again. Now we were going to gonna go to the ice bar but it didn’t open till 11pm which really blew!!!! So we went off to the Rock bar instead - lovely place and it was great in there. Some lovely Finns in there too and even one that supported Ipswich ???!!!! I mean come on mate...pick a better team lmao After about an hour we headed off to Lost and Found again and once again got totally rat arsed!!! Bazie was in there again of course and with a different bird again bless him. But the highlight of the night was bumping into Mikko ( the Rasmus’s light tech!) This is Mikko- it's a old pic from last year but I'm sure you know who he is now. We had just gone down stairs and came up and was heading to the bar when we saw him. We didn’t go to him but instead went to get a drink. He stuck around after his mates had left him and was stood about a metre from us. It was so funny cuz he knew we were there but he still turned around and went...”F*ckin hell” in a really crazy British accent bless him. It was so funny I tell ya, he was pissed and so was I and he just kept mocking my accent. After a while I bought him a drink - although I couldn’t see why he needed one as he had 3 drinks in his hand already lmfaooo. One of the best bits was when he dropped one of his drinks and the glass smashed everywhere. We laughed so hard at him and he just did a little dance lol. My mate left me then as she couldn't get a word in edge ways as me and Mikko continued to mock each other. I do believe I told him that the Finns know how to do Foreplay but the Brits don’t - Oh the shame! and then he taught me some dirty things in Finnish. 1) F*ck them hard 2) I want a f*ck Great bloke bless him, I think the last I remember of him from that night was us hitting our four glasses together and saying cheers. One thing that did freak us was when we told Mikko how long we had been in Helsinki and he replied with... "Yes I know you've been here this long...I have special friends" We just went silent for once...how the hell did he know we was there???? The rest of the night sort of went great from then. Got even more rat arsed after that and even did some dancing to YMCA and it’s raining men as Bazie watched on. Brilliant night and flippin brilliant country! I’m already planning my next holiday there as we speak. It’s either beginning of June or end of......and this time it’s for a week!!! God help the Finns!!! EDIT : Mate the Life burns video has just come availableand its a must...Lauri in a red silk shirt with a black long coat. The video is brilliant and by far one of my favourites. Lauri running around setting Apocalyptica on fire....brilliant!!!!! http://www.therasmus-by-nidi.de/html/video.html

hey chuck...I have loads to tell ya!! I will post my time in Helsinki tonight for ya!! Lets say I over undulge in Finnish way of drinking while chatting to the 69 eyes and Mikko ( The Rasmus's roadie)

Just wanted to say bye! I'm off to Helsinki tomorrow so I won't be online for a while. Happy Easter Katie xxxxxx

Mate download Lost boys from 69 eyes....you will be addicted then!!! I found this lovely pic from backstage at the Asia charity gig in Helsinki. The guy sat next to Ville is Jonne- who I'm seeing this Saturday in Helsinki. and the two sat between and Lauri and Aki are two from 69 eyes and the 3 behing Pauli are also from 69 eyes. I tell ya hell load of Finnish guys in one room is all too much for me!!! How cute is this next one....the bittersweet team....

page 2.....yeah right lmao

I think that sounds like a fair deal Im going to see 69 eyes play in Stockholm...fights were only 99p on the way and only 9.99 on the way back back - Bargin I think Rasmus are in Stockholm at exactly the same time also, so we have all our fingers crossed that they will come and see there friends play. It would be fantastic to see 69 eyes and Rasmus!!!

I'm after Frankie Im not sure we will be able to hang about after the gig or not...Im flying to Stockholm the next day so we shouldn't really have a long night.But hey...who knows...I know where the back door is because I saw Rasmus there too. It's tight but theres a chance hehehehehe

Does this mean that both auction are going to be on it???? Oh I really hope so!! it would be fantastic to hear what we sounded like wen we was fighting over Thomas on the first night

Are you sure mate? are they very expensive? Im holding out for Ruisrock....I would love them to do that. Ive just read a very recent interview with Aki and it looks like they are playing just a couple of festivals this summer. I think I would prefer to do Himos instead of Ankkarock...im not sure why, it just sounds nicer and a lot less busy then what Ankkarock will be. And guess what!!! I am off to see MCR in wolves - so can't wait!!!

believe me we have looked...they are ALL booked up! Just found out that TR are only doing two summer festivals this year....i wonder which the other one will be?!!!

I have a feeling they are going to Play Ankkarock but its going to be so hard to get too. All hotels and hostels etc are all ready booked up- so that makes it hard already. I really want to do Ruisrock...Im praying they will get added. They have done it for the last 4 years so fingers crossed they will do it this year too.

ok this is the festival they are doing so far... http://www.himosfestival.com/liput2.php although Im holding out for this one because the bands lined up so far are already good...fingers crossed the boys will play it again. http://www.ruisrock.fi/artistit.html

Wow that picture is amazig...Ive seen quite a few fan art but they never seem to catch his look but you so have. Guess what?! Looks like im off to Finland in the Summer....Rasmus are playing festivals...which means NEW f***ING SONGS!!!!!! So can't wait!!!!!
