The party is located at a wonderful rustic and remote getaway called Korsukylä. It's located near Jämijärvi in the Satakunta region of Finland, some 70-ish kilometers north of Tampere. A GPS will tell you more.
We will have at our disposal several buildings and facilities for various activities:
Metsälava is the main hub for all activities, demoshows, bands and activities. It's got plenty of room, tables, chairs, stage, AV - the works.
Humppamutteri (Hump a mother?) is our secondary party area, which doubles as the eatery. Apart from acting as the Food Dispensary, this space will be used for something tremendously exciting! Don't ask what, we don't know yet. Probably for more drinking and merriment.
The Amphitheater is located near the river. This outdoor theather is perfect for artistic minds like Zados, who want to express themselves in various stages of drunkenness. How about a midnight outdoor demoshow? Or a demosceneclub party!?
The Trench
The Trench takes you from the river to the Bunker and back, if you're lucky. Feel free to larp out any WW2 fantasies you may have along the way.
Yes, we have toilets in Finland. There's two (2!) traditional, no-bullshit outhouses with no water, but plenty of smell! You haven't experienced Finland until the brown python of the previous toilet-goer pokes you in the butt when you sit down. For the more prissy people who want amenities like toilet paper, there's modern sloshing and flushing WCs. Your choice. But please don't hold it in the whole weekend.
For keeping yourself fresh (and please do!) there are two (2!) really nice and big saunas with showers and an outdoor bathing tub "palju". And of course an outdoors shower. And for the naturalists, a big-ass river just a trench run away.

Korsu (Bunker) is a sleeping area that houses 15-30 people. There's a good chance it will be vociferous (read: filled with snoring people) and odorous (read: farty). Bring your own linen and/or a sleeping/snoring bag. And probably ear and nose plugs.
Aitta (Shed) is a sleeping area for 15 persons on two floors. Have no fear, this one will also be noisy and farty. Again. you need to bring your own linen or sleeping bag. And plugs of your preference.
Your own tent is more than welcome. There's loads of space. You can pitch it near the main buildings or further away. Just build it up while there is still light, and please make sure you find it in the dark. Bring a flashlight!
Sleeping quarters are a no-noise-area between 22:00 - 10:00 (that's 10pm - 10am). No drinking, talking, (loud) sex or any other noise. Except snoring and farting. And if you can do something to prevent yourself from snoring, please do it. But don't hold a fart in, it'll rot your soul.
Check out the venue gallery with recently scouted
photos & sleeping tips.
Food will be served and eaten primarily at the Humppa Hub. It's where the food's at.
There is an outdoor kitchen for making and eating your own food. It is pretty basic, though. There's a gas powered BBQ and a fireplace, but not much else. But what else do you really need?
- Bring your own cutlery! A Spork(TM) would be the best. Please no glass pints, use preferably metal glasses and such to avoid accidents.
- Enough food and booze to sedate a small rhino.
- The sleeping quarters have a very limited number of actual beds. You'll need your own linen and/or a sleeping bag. A mattress is a good idea, but the floor space is limited as well so please no megahuge air mattresses for just your own fat ass.
- If so inclined, your own tent to crash in
- A toothbrush and maybe some toothpaste would be nice if you plan to speak with people
- Your finest (B) memories, no matter how flaky they may be
- A compo entry? Or make one on the spot!
- Dont forget food and Beeeereverages! Plenty of both. Enough to share.
If you feel uncomfortable with the snug accomodation space, there are excellent rooms for rent pretty close. You'll need a car though or use the local taxi service.
