Places & Spaces



I'll be out in Helsinki this weekend. The first time I went out there was three years ago - it was the dead of winter and when we landed the TV on the airplane said the temperature outside was -25 degrees or something crazy. (I soon realized that this was celsius - still cold but not I'm-not-getting-off-the-plane cold.) It seemed like it snowed most of time I was there, and I kept thinking about the last part of Night on Earth. But the city is beautiful, and the people were great. And the party - the homie Pablo's now defunct disco/boogie/modern soul throwdown Solid Gold - was really amazing (here's some photographic evidence). 
So Pablo was kind enough to invite me out again to join him at his new monthly on Friday and then an ongoing classic hip-hop & RnB soiree on Saturday. Unfortunately, an Axelson/Mao reunion is not in the cards as Sampo is out in Japan. But we will do our best to carry on in his absence. If you're in the neighborhood stop on stop on stop on stop on by!
