You can never believe who I saw last night. Here in Helsinki.

On a bar here.THE RR-GUYS. They are in Helsinki and I think they are doing some work here. They dont know me but I was really close to them and they talked about music. Soon we will hear some news from them I am almost sure of that. They must freeze very much here in our city. And what do they like the darknes??

You who can write on RR must ask them about everything. This is good news isnt it?

Where is the news? All you say here is "soon there will be news". Can we just put the RR stuff in another section instead of the stratovarius one?

well, you did not give any news .The question, "do you have any news?, is already on the forum with a answer of "soon we will have news".

You are maybe used to see famous musicians in bars but we here in Helsinki are not spoiled with those things. For me-personally -it was very exiting to see people from other continents on a bar I use to visit.Try now not to be envious...

"Soon we have news" is not to-day or maybe even this year. My news is from yesterday. The RR-guys are all in Helsinki and that can only mean one thing. They are working on a record NOW. So many have said that we soon have TWO good bands and the news is they are both working on it NOW.

And why are you sulking now Icecar?

I’m not sulking; I’m just so used to you being negative about them that it surprised me to see a different direction.

Of course im not negative to the guys in the RR-band. They are all admirable.

But,but but I have some thoughts about one other person that I wont take up again. The band is something else and we must not let them suffer for others old behaviour.

You both are always arguing, I am sure you would be very pleased to meet each other

@Stratowarius, that sounds good. When was this, and why are you so shy about approaching them?

Ah, perhaps you were in Tavastia? There you might see a "rock star" on occasion. Regardless, I hope to see/hear great things soon. Good news that RR members are congregating.

While you were there did you ask Tolkki if there's any foundation money available for Stinky's new little boy? Icetray, you are the treasurer right?

Havent you noted long time ago that Im a very shy person. I would never dream of an approach on those guys.

I didnt see mr Tolkki and Im sure he wasnt there. I talked with him in the days when he drank hard drinks but nowadays he is an teetotaller you know and we never meet in bars.
I dont think he would have gone into Saaaaanas economie if I had asked him and Im sure he doesnt give a damn for poor Stinky.

Especially if he thinks he knows who Stinky REALLY is.

Seriously, maybe its better if you don't approach them. I guess they need their privacy when they are out enjoying themselves and relaxing.

Stratowarius are you joking? Or is it true?
I think that's wonderful and that's the way it should be, but I don't see Timo Tolkki working with the rest of the guys while they keep working with Stratovarius.
and they talked about working together

Oh please have mercy!! I am so serious and thoughtful on my other account. Revealing my true identity might shatter my academic credibility!
By the way, I have created a timeline. This is not a stratovarius-related timeline, but rather one which describes the process which led to my pregnancy. Enjoy!

More news!Afriend called me and said that yesterday the RR-guys and Strato-guys were together and partied. They had really fun and my friend did what Fernandotcl suggested.Approched them. He said that the guys almost love each other as brothers and they talked about working together. What do you say about that.
Hey guys well we (the RR guys) were out and about celebrating the lovely finnish independance day!!! so that said, we met ONE strato member which happened to be mr.jens johansson. He's a great guy and fun to hang around with that's for sure! But we however didn't discuss any collaborations or future plans to do anything together in terms of music. Nor were we approached by anyone, but if you want to come and say hello don't be shy!
Take care guys!

The other guys were out too, even Jörg was in town, it's just that they all got stuck at this other bar.
When you have these queues outside full of people waiting to get in, the threshold for shifting places becomes higher.
I must confess my day was not entirely comfortable either...

Nice. I guess we are all night owls. 2 exams tomorrow (actually... today in 7 hours and I still need to check some more pages, learn them, then sleep, wake up, taking shower, and getting into school which is at least an hour of traveling -.- ).
Be careful with Vodka, guys!
BTW, any of you plan to come to Wacken next year? That's a pretty big party I must say.
