Review from book signing session
(01.11.2002) by Heidi Ekbom
I arrived in Helsinki 11.20am and then I met up with a friend and we went to the book store cause we knew they would give out those queing tickets at 12.00 and there were already some fans there waiting but not that many.Some faces were familiar and some not;) We got our tickets and we still had 4 hours to wait and we went to have some lunch.
At 15.45 we went back and there were many people already,fans from at least The Netherlands ,Germany,Sweden and Latvia.I must say that the queing ticket was actually a very good idea,there was no rushing & pushing cause everyone got the autograph at their own turn.I had number 30 so it was my turn pretty quickly but we had to wait about til 4.15pm until the guys finally arrived:) Ville,Linde,Mige and Gas came but no Burton,according to Seppo he wasnt in town.Ville had his black wool hat and that redish leatherjacket he has been wearing much lately,he looked very good I must say .Someone asked me by sms that if he also had a beard again but no,just a little moustache;)Gas was so sweet,he posed for me several times when I took pics and he is really nice,smiling and very polite .They all joked and laughed a lot together,seemed to be in a very good mood There were some teenies I have seen before that wanted to have a second autograph in the same book (?!) but the guys politly told them that isnt 1 enough .The whole event was very nice,as I said no panic or screaming and every single person in the store got his/her autograph and some also took pics with the guys together.
When everyone got their book signed,the guys left the store and waved goodbye. They did all look very good,not tired or stressed at all,just happy and relaxed:)
