What a wonderful party!

Vadelma is not just about partying, though it may seem like it at a first glance from this blog.
Anyway, last night we had a wonderful party in Vadelmarooms for members and their friends.
People had done a lot for that night - excellent decoration, food and program - and the atmosphere was wonderful. Thank you all. Klava, Manogurgeil and Sub Rosa where performing. Unfortunately I only got to see and hear (and photograph) Klava, as I had to leave the party at it's best and go home to pack my luggage.

The Flooding toilet seat

On a Tuesdayevening in August we were cleaning and arranging the Vadelma rooms. The day had been hot and sunny, and we had no idea, while working in the basement floor, that there had started a big thunderstorm outside and heavy raining was going on. Suddenly, while I was vacuuming the kitchen, I heard strange noise from the entryway and one of the guys shouting. I went to see and couldn't believe my eyes - The toilet seat was pushing water outside. We closed the toilet door, but the water flooding came to the entryway from under it and was going to get to the first band training room. Guys began moving the furniture and instruments away and we threw all possible towels, t-shirts and pieces of cloth to stop the water flooding on the floor. Luckily the toilet seat stopped flooding after some time, and no serious harm was done. But the smell.. Well, we got rid of it through cleaning. And so it was that even the entrywayfloor ended up being much more cleaner than what it had been before the flood, caused by heavy raining outside.

The third picture is from when the visual artists' side was just a dirty and dusty hall filled with rubbish.
