6.15pm me and my best friend drove to the ice hall where was this 300 metres line but the securite moved us to the smaller line so in 10 minutes we were inside. We looked a place where we could meet David, Flyleaf's tour manager. We went to see some merch and 7.05pm David called.

 

"I'll meet you there look me up in a minute, I'm the tall guy wearing a baseball cap". Easy to find. He wasn't tall, he was super tall! We chatted for awhile. When we told that we're from Nokia, he was so surprised. "Me and Lacey were driving around in the afternoon and we couldn't believe that there's actually a city called Nokia. David said that I should try some lottery because I got exactly the same seats that I had in Canada vs. Finland hockey game. It was time to go. We got Family Values tour tickets to put on our shirts, "meet Fly" yay.

 

We walked to backstage (which was the locker rooms of course, it's an ice hall) and we had to wait little bit outside Flyleaf's room. We chatted more with David and asked about the tour and such. He told that they spend their day-off in Helsinki, their busdrivers home who served some western food. Pat came from nowhere carrying coffee and rockstar amount of food with him, we had to open the door for him. In a minute the door was opened and we were inside of Flyleaf's locker room!

 

"Thank you so much for coming girls!" Lacey said, it's hard to sing live with a unknown crowd but it helps a lot when they know that there're atleast 2 fans in there. David gave us signed pictures of the band as a present.

We talk a lot of the weather. I told how the weather outside is awful when you have to wlk to school and your socks are all wet, Sameer can relate to that. I got my album and my friend had the EP booklet to get signed.

"You know that Erica is very common name in the US?" Pat asked, I answered that my mom wanted a finnish name but my canadian dad wanted an english name and because they had twins, one was finnish and the other was english. Pat thought that's so cool. "from where in Canada your dad is from, Ontario?" Hah.

Lacey told my friend that the picture of the EP cover didn't suppose to be like that. The cameraman took the picture without they knew about it and that's why Lacey's feet looks so odd in there. It was time us to leave, Lacey (she's so tiny!) gived us a big hug (best hug ever) and David escorted us out.

"You've actual seats so you can't go around the stage?", we said no and then David just "I'm going to escort you there, stand there for an hour, enjoy seeing Flyleaf live close and then you can leave to your seats if you want to." We hugged him and said huge thanks.

 

Deathstars was boring. Their speechs were so "swedish to finnish people". I know, that we're the most alcohol drinking country and "land of vodka". That's for the Deathstars, bring me Flyleaf!

 

Flyleaf started 8.20pm and the set lasted for 40 minutes. It was amazing. I didn't felt my presence over there. I danced and sang the whole time. I took some pictures and video until the security man found me, it didn't stop me taking audio recording. They doesn't so good because indoor concerts the bass is so up so it kinda ruins them.

Flyleaf started with Justice and Mercy and ended with Something I can Never Have. Setlist:

Justice & Mercy

Breathe Today

Okay/Tina

Fully Alive

I'm Sorry

Sorrow

All Around Me

I'm So Sick

So I Thought

Cassie

Something I can Never Have

 

After the performance we went to the merch table and bought shirts. I wanted to buy the zip hoodie but there was only sizes L and XL.

 

Amazing day for sure. Flyleaf even gave us 2 water bottles, I never opened it and I probably never will. Oh and Korn rocked.

 

Picture time!!

All the pictures I took were of course very blurry, but because we were closer to Sameer, I got a desent pic of him.

I LOVE Flyleaf and I got to see them on the first date of the Korn tour and I was in charge of the street-team on that gig so I had loads of fun (loads of posters left though) and I got to meet the band :D

 

They were ace live and I felt like a right fool because my girlfriend and I seemed to be the only people who knew the songs word by word and we were jumping like crazy :rotfl:

Ah we were doing that too :D The band said they saw us when we met them which is really cool.

 

Soon as they played we had people coming upto us and asking who they were, so I had fun educating people in the ways of Flyleaf
