I remember that.. Some Finns up near the border of Sweden actually crossed it just to get into a fight, lmao.

On topic again.. I would totally be there if I wasn't a poor student who can't afford the train ticket, let alone a hotel for the night. =(

Actually train costs a bit more than driving a car. : / And, if you take a train from pori to helsinki it will go to tampere first so it will take a few hours more too.

I can't come but I hope this is a success. It's probably a good idea to promote these events at schools since students are a big audience. I'm sure a lot of them are interested in coming with a bunch of their mates (not sure if the semester has started yet though).

Also, people, don't be shy about attending. Pre-drink that bottle of vodka if that's what you need, but GO

Daumn, I live in oulu, and even the timing appears to be a little unfortunate. Really glad to see barcrafting kick off in finland though! And I will surely attend to one as soon as I can.

Also, I was thinking of putting up a barcraft this summer here up north, but that is not relevant yet.

Promoting in schools is a good idea. Heck, in my class of 25 people, 5 play starcraft, and 2 follow it otherwise. GOGOGO, find all yer friends in UNI/Lukio/amis

And a bottle of vodka may be too little to overcome the social awkwardness.

I had to do this as soon as I read that :D

But more on topic, barcraft in Helsinki sounds like fun. I don't think I can drag any of my friends there (cuz they don't like sc2, bastards), dunno if I'll come solo, we'll see

A shame, I live in Rovaniemi but im at Lapinjärvi now and it would be only like 1½h travel and I have to work those days. I'll try to keep up the spirit out here! Btw I hope we could see some pics/vids from the event after homestory ends

GL guys!

Thanks a lot to Primadog for the tips!

A group and an event has now been established in Facebook.

*EDIT*
BarCraft Helsinki

Barcraft Helsinki: HSC4 event
http://www.facebook.com/events/207831842639224/

I knew the event would attract interest from people around capital area, but wow, people coming from Pori O_O. I'm astonished.

I would love to see more barcrafts in Finland so I'm going to attend this one

I'm going to tell about this to a couple of my friends that are a bit interested in sc. Hopefully they will attend too.

I'm definitely going to be attending this one. What's better than talking Starcraft with complete strangers over a beer or twelve?

Hope to see as many people there as possible! :D

I'll come if I can. Still gotta see if its gonna fit the budget, although I suppose train tickets from Tampere aren't that expensive. If anyone is driving through I'd be happy to fork some moneys over for gas and a one way trip to Helsinki.

I was waiting for someone to take the initiative for Finnish barcraft scene, will be there. Should be some good memories for me before enlisting to the army on 9th.
