Day 152: Wanna-be-something!

My youngest daughter has always said to me that I wanna-be Roland - meaning that I am trying to be as good photographer as Roland. Or I have big dreams but no possibilities to achieve my dream. Or something like that.

Today I visited stand-up night where 7 wanna-be-stand-up-comedians were giving their best at the stage. Not at all bad performance - sometimes I really enjoyed - sometimes I felt sorry and sometime I was abashed: is it okay to laugh for this. But new field of art for me and cultural experience with shock effect. And what else to do on rainy Monday evening...

But the reason why I visited there was this one wanna-be, "business executive Ullgrén" as he was presented. Husband of my colleague and after all - not so bad at all. I really laughed for his story about how similar drag business and IT business is. I don't know whether that really works in English but in Finnish, it was quite good.

Day 115: Spiderweb!

It is interesting what is as art and how to define art. Visiting this exhibition opened my eyes: spiders are artists!

Day 114: Vesa-Matti Loiri!

I am huge fan of Vesa-Matti Loiri. (So, if you have read my posts, you know that I am also fan of Seminaarimäen Mieslaulajat and Risto Kaskilahti). And this year Vesa-Matti is celebrating his 50 years as artist. And of course - concert was organized. And yes indeed - I went there with my husband (maybe not so huge fan) and my older daughter (real Fan). And no doubt that was experience which can't be described. It has to be experienced!

Day 87: I bought a painting!

I am no art lover but this painting felt right at first glance.

It is called "Tame Jungle". More about Oili Niittynen here and here. Sorry - only in Finnish.
