I left home and went to Espoo centrum at about 13.30.
That was a bit too early so I went to buy some coke and waited for the bus.
The bus arrived in time and took me to the airport.
I was really early on the airport as well so after getting the tickets, I sat down and listened to Op. Ivy for a while.
The plane left at 16.15.
Last time I flew was 8 years ago so I didn't remember anything about flying.
This was kinda a new experience for me
I had to wait for my backpack at the airport for over half an hour.
That was booooring! :S
I took the taxi from the airport to "Na Korabe" (which is the place where the shred and accommodation is).
The taxi driver didn't have a clue where it was, even though I had the address.
But luckily he found it, and I finally arrived at Na Korabe at 19.00.
Dexter noticed me and took me to the accommodation-registration-thing before I could go meet all the cool guys that I haven't seen in a long time.
There was some shred going on and I said hi to the people I already knew (Ostrowskis, Tina, Manu, Ales, Steve, Felix...) and even Vasek yelled "Hi, Riku!".
I felt like a cool guy because so many people know me
I went to my wooden house and immediatly changed into my shred gear.
I started warming up next to Felix' and Vasek's little circle.
A guy asked if he could take some pictures of me while I'm shredding.
"Sure!"
He took a nice picture of my mohawk while the sun was in the back. It looked cool
.After that I went to the bigger circle with Honza, Vasek and others.
This was the first time i saw Steve Goldberg shredding!!
I must say that I was pretty impressed... I really liked the eclipses.
We shredded only for 15 minutes and then Dexter came and said that we would have to leave soon to the "Treti Polocas" for the players meeting and registration.
Well.. that sucked
I shredded for a while with Vasek before we left. He was trying some really hard stuff like triple atw's, triple-downs and whirrs, etc..
Some guy took us to the meeting by car.
We had a ass-shred circle while waiting for the registration to start.
And I hit DATW!
We sat, drank (coke
), shredded and talked for over an hour, I think..Then the registration finally started.
There was a big surprise for all the players at the registration: a box of 50 REALLY SHITTY Starburst footbags!
We hanged there for a while and then I left back to Na Korabe with Manu, Tina, Flavio and Solveg (sp??).
As we were leaving the "Berlin Crew" came and we talked to them a little before we left.
At Na Korabe we just chilled and goofed around for maybe two hours or something.
Then me and Manu went back and the rest went to sleep.
Back at the Treti Polocas there were about 15 people. Some of them were pretty drunk already
They all talked German so I was kinda an outsider... I tried to listen to what they were saying and I actually understood something!
...But not much...
We had to leave after some time because the club/bar/whatever closed.
I played some football with some of the german fellas.
Max had some peanuts and I asked him "what is 'peanuts' in german?".
He answered: "pimmel".
So of course, I asked if I could have some "pimmel".
And it turned out that pimmel actually means penis
Then I finally went to sleep after some more football and pimmel jokes.
..to be continued...
...someday...
