Dispatches From FinnCon #8

[kevin_standlee]

This would appear to be the final report from Finland. Wish I could have gone myself. It's not like I was doing much this past weekend.

Monday was spent sampling more of the excellent Finnish trains, shopping for souvenirs (I bought a snowball) and eating things you can't get back home (dessert made from Seabuckthorn berries).

Of course the Finns are not immune from trying to import US culture. Near the hotel where Ellen and the Haldemans are staying we found a place call Right Wing Sports Bar. Whether this referred to a position on the field or to the attitudes of the people who drank there was unclear. However, they did advertise a Joe Montana Burger, so any visiting registered Democrats could point to this and explain that in San Francisco being a Democrat *is* right wing.

There will always be the next one. I'm sure you would be warmly welcomed in Tampere in 2008.
