Great pics Henkka. Thanks for sharing them with us :) Hope you guys had lots of fun in this tour. Can't wait for the new album and see you guys again in November!
ReplyDeleteI am very glad you've joined Tony on the selfie front. I had a real shit day at work and I needed this! It's nice to see you....even with that hat :P
ReplyDeleteOk seeing that first pic of the container I have to ask: could Pasi even stand inside of that thing? Cuz you guys are fairly small but he probably banged his head a bunch....
(I got so excited seeing you and HP ahah. My old flame for the Dudesons isn't out yet lol)
Can't wait to see the new promo pics! The scenery is amazing and I'm sure they're super cool!
yeah, he could stand in it ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell that's good! I guess the container was bigger on the inside than it looked from the outside!
Deleteto be honest, it was probably bigger than my first apartment lol
You make my day with all those pictures :)
DeleteGlad you like the drawing I gave you at the Seattle show was very nice seeing it in your blog :)
