UW Fans Stuck in Bad Weather, Proof God Hates Underworld?

[m.g.]

Mmm... I was driving a Lithuanian car somewhere between Riga & Tallin when I received this sms from Stimpee telling me that he & Lloyd couldn't find a way to come to Tallin... I could really feel how f****d they were!!! (and I won't copy the sms's exchange we had here )

When I finally arrived to Tallin, looking at the weather, trying to find a bedroom (quite every hotel in the city was fully booked) & seeing the hordes of Finnish people going apparently every Friday to Tallin to spend the week-end, I could understand why they couldn't make it...

It was very nice to meet you again (after Cocoon ) in Helsinki saturday pm, Stimpee, Lloyd & all the others for this great gig in this small club (even if, imo, it was not the best of the "Baltic gigs").

And what a beautiful after party with SCSI-9...

Hey Kids,

Great to meet up in Helsinki - Stimpee, Lloyd, John & his missus - thanks for making the occassion even better - nice comfy bar in between the gigs with top bongo playing.

So glad they changed the venue - really special. Great after show do with SCSI 9 - shame they're weren't too many people there. Those ruskies have some interesting dress sense - flat caps obviously just coming into fashion there

Missed the reindeer dinner but did notice there was canned bear soup on sale at the duty free

I will see if I can get Sarah to get her photos off her phone - may be a challenge but she had a good one of Karl & Darren.

i'm so jealous....seeing as how lloyd and stimpee are my personal heros...(next to myself, of course) ... would have been nice to see them all again. i can't imagine how it felt to know that underworld were playing and they couldn't get there. i would have puked.

Hi Justin and Sarah, great to meet you too. Yeah reindeer diner was a bit of a last minute gathering of dirts, the place even a more last minute find because they didn't serve it everywhere.
That Beatroot bar is a nice place yep, we were there the night before too. The bongo player was a saturday extra I think, worked ok though.
The afterparty at the Globe was great indeed, would have been even better more people had showed up. SCISI-9 were fab!

Yeah when we entered the boatcompany and show the cue of people and the boardinginfo-screen with 2 cancelations on it, my heart did make a jump. Then when discussing what to do, all other slots were cancelled too. After some calling around to other companies, asking if there was another option, flying perhaps, it got clear that we weren't going to make it.
Well... you can't do anything about it then, you know you did all you could to make it..... then a finnish sauna gets the stress out of you.
But it still feels bad indeed, I would have liked to see how new fans reacted to an UW gig, that's why I went in the first place.
