My camera and Jesse haven’t met too many times, but now that they did, they had pretty good time together 😉 So here’s a little Jesse special!

[meerkathideout]

Turun terassikesä: Käärijä 14.8.

This was my first ever Käärijä only show, having only seen him live at Ruisrock.

We went to the queue at around 4PM, doors opened at 6PM and Käärijä performed at 8PM. The set was around 1.5-2h including all the Jere yapping.

All in all great vibes, lots of fun, definitely worth the 30€ price. The audience was really great and Kä has so much charisma there was no need for anyone else to warm-up the audience before him.

Some highlights in random order:

@harmaanoita driving several hours to see (me and) Käärijä

@seokoilua finding @harmaanoita @kilarit and I in the queue! You were wonderful company as always and thank you for dealing with our nurse talk on our way home

Rage dancing together with a kanssariehuja, who found my pin stuck to their shoe afterwards 😅 we reconnected through the Kä tag here, and I'm getting my pin back 😄

Hyping Jesse up and then we got not only one, but two Jeskiedes songs! (Urheilujätkä and the never-before-performed-in-public and deleted-from-spotify Tuuliviiri!)

Getting baptised first by Jesse and then by Jere

Jesse pointing at me during Tuuliviiri when singing "meille vai teille" 🥰

Kä and Hä performing in the middle of the audience, and the audience making sure kids got to see them

Everyone in the audience kneeling the moment Kä asked us to for the second CCC

Tampere 29.8. and Kokkola 30.8. Käärijä gig report

or: "The story behind Jesse's new bracelet"

I am not a Käärijä fan, but my wonderful friends are and how can I say no to having a good time?

When I went to Turun Terassikesä, Jere yapped about how Jesse had only four fans because a handful of people including me and @harmaanoita kept hyping Jesse up and cheering for him. I got the setlist from Jesse after the gig, which made me want to prove Jere wrong even more. So, in preparation for the gigs, I made five Jesse fan bracelets to gift to my equally or even more Jesse supporting friends.

Bracelet #1 went to @theplantbish without whom I wouldn't even be a Jesse fan and I kept #2. When the gig was beginning, I still had bracelet #5 and my friends encouraged me to give it to Jesse. Against all expectations, he's still wearing it and I adore him for it.

Highlights from the gigs and my road trip:

Wearing matching outfits for Kaisla with @harmaanoita @punanenmarli and @maladroitoracle

Meeting @theplantbish for the first time and fawning over Jesse together

Waiting for the Kaisla gig to start and failing terribly at explaining Star Wars words to @frikatilhi

Shirtless rage dancing with friends during Paidaton Riehuja

Jere's yapping at Kaisla and the whole fake money incident that started with Häärijä wiping Jere's pötsi sweat with a sugar paper bill and then eating it

Seeing a Käärijä only gig that was very stripped down, including the way Häärijä legit changed clothes on stage as a bit as there was no backstage.

The Kaisla gig felt really intimate and special, even if it was really hot and sweaty.

Barricade at Kokkola and even more rage dancing in the rain!

Jesse spotting me in the Kokkola crowd, and pointing at the matching bracelets we're wearing

The rain starting right before Käärijä's gig, but he saved it with his ridiculous amounts of charisma.

Experiencing the weirdness that was the CCC at Kokkola

Deep, late-night, existential conversations with @patty-the-otterette

Crying happy tears about Jure with @sepetajmikolikomehoces and doing a happy dance while drinking Cedevita

Thank you also to everyone I didn't tag. You know who you are, and you made this weekend very special <3
