Looking for a party

19:00: Planning to go to the Alter Ego party. Don't really feel like partying tonight, but the kind of party where I can dance Pornopolkka 5 times in a row does not happen every day, so decide to go. Drink a hot chocolate with rum to enhance the party mood. The mood gets duly enhanced, especially with the addition of some of Timur Shaov's music. The party probably starts at 7 (did not check) and is somewhere in Domma where I've been once, 2 years ago and totally drunk. I go there alone, as Anu is indisposed (in the sense of tired after a week of working at weird times, and not in the sense of hung over) and Killeri is missing in action as usual (probably either in some meeting or performing some unnatural act such as playing salibandy).

19:30: Finally there and found the right hole (it's a hole in the ground with stairs going down). The door is closed. Now how the fuck do I get in?

Called Viljo, because he'd mentioned something about going to a party. Turns out he is at another one, Kassu's housewarming party. Holy shit, I was supposed to be there too! It is of a higher priority than Alter Ego party since there are people I don't normally see otherwise, but then I am here already. Bugger.

Called Laura, who is also somewhere else and tells me to call Risto. Called Risto, but his phone was either off or out of the reception area. Called Meira, who did not pick it up. Considered calling Janka, but remembered she never picks up. Did not even consider calling Ville as he was in IRC 15 minutes before and there was no way he'd made it to the party already.

19:35: Bugger the party. I should probably boycott parties that are arranged in places that are hard to find, impossible to get into and have no cell phone field. Besides, why the hel would I go to the party is nobody else is even there.

19:45: On the way home to get Kassu's address. Meira calls back and tells me that the party starts at 21, which would explain the closed door. Meira is not there either. I am still close to the place and it's only 15 minutes' wait but I decide to go to Kassu. Suddenly feel rich, fortunate and warm at the thought that I have two parties to choose from.

20:00: Home. Kassu's party started at 16 and is till 22. Damn, no sense in going there with only 1 hour left. I take the clothes off.

20:02: Shit, it's 20 and not 21! My idea of time was wrong by an hour. I put the clothes back on and go to Kassu's place. Kassu and Tuula have a nice apartment in a weird house. The party has a lot fewer friends and a lot more scary unfamiliar people than I expected, but it's good to see whatever friends here are and the unfamiliar people are nto so scary after all. I talk to Tuula about her research, and it's interesting how although AFAIK she is a theologist from the conversation about her work one can think she is an archeologist.

After midnight a few friends and I finally got to the Alter Ego party. There were very few people and no Pornopolkka, but it was sort of nice anyway.
