Aug12th07@// Summer is almost over
Now that there’s less than 3 weeks to september and fall, it’s good to start listing stuff that I did this summer.
I was actually challenged to do this by Jani and Maria.
- This was my 3rd festival summer. I was on 2 festivals as a customer (Provinssirock and Ämyrock), worked on 3 festivals (Sauna Open Air, Value Life 2007 and Simerock) and saw 26 different bands. (Listing can be read from the end of this post.)
- I drove over 3500km. Provinssirock trip was ~750km and Simerock trip alone was ~1300km. I like to drive, it clears my head.
- Learned the basics of Devil Stick. (I can do this, this, this and this already.)
- Worked on various projects at work and at home. At one point I had 5 projects active at the same time, started to get bit hard to manage.
- Watched 20 movies and 3 seasons of various series and I also listened to 845 different tracks 916 times.
- Saw Nine Inch Nails for the second time and Placebo for the first time live.
- Got new ideas for various projects that will be taking place under the Hollow13.net domain.
- Felt better, happier and more productive than I have for long long time.
- Got to know myself better.
- Helped people in various code and design projects. People helped me in my projects.
- Consumed 8 pints of beer.
- Designed 2 themes for the blog.
- Took about 150 photos, but released only 9 of them.
- Went out to play water fight with Maria and to get wet bare-feet during a downpour of water.
- I didn’t burn my skin this summer so well I usually do.
Bands I saw this summer:
Timo Rautiainen, Kotiteollisuus, Dimmu Borgir, Leverage, Swallow The Sun (3 times), Callisto, CMX, Mokoma, Stam1na, Diablo, Rubik (2 times), Lauri Tähkä & Elonkerjuu, Tori Amos, Don Johnson Big Band, Patti Smith and Band, Hatebreed, Sara, Superchrist, The Blood Brothers, Scissor Sisters and Lamb Of God
This just might be one of the best summers ever. Even thought I spend much time inside, coding and designing, I had a lot of fun while being outside.
One last thing to do before summer is over; swimming. I haven’t done that yet this summer. It’s not too late, is it?
