The celebration of Metal Club Mökä 5th birthday took place in Stella Star Club. Almost 400 people attended. We had printed 50 copies of the famous Helsinki Goat City shirt in long-sleeve versions for the occasion, and they sold very nicely also. We had a great time! A big thanks to every one who came, this was a big deal for us, and a result of months of planning.

| Final act of the evening: Dreamtale! I had been waiting for their gig for years, and it proved to be worth the wait. After the rocky start (trouble with sound levels for a change) their show really hit the spot. |

| They seemed to enjoy it too. The loud audience (or the front rows at least) knew all the lyrics, se the mic troubles never bothered me that much :) All in all, a great show guys. |
