Pertti for president


I was happily surprised to see Pertti Kurikka among the invited guests at yesterday´s castle ball! He is of course the main man behind Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät, our local punk heroes of the special kind. Cool! The picture shows him giving an interview at jatkot, the after party in the city center. During the tv broadcast of the actual celebration, held in the presidential palace, the commentary team reminded us viewers that the (yet unelected) next president was already among the guests. This year´s linnan juhlat was the last hosted by our president Tarja Halonen. After 12 years her term in office is about to end and we have the presidential elections coming up in January 2012. So, Pertti - how about?

For my Finnish speaking visitors, here´s a link to the
