« The fiddler and the accordion player for the "Greeting to the Baltic Herring" performance on Sunday at the opening of the annual Baltic Herring Festival [Helsingin silakkamarkkinat] in Helsinki. It was theatre the way Dr. Demento envisioned it should be. The performance was terrific, if a bit less weird than I had hoped, and I totally want their herring hats. »

I read the instructions, did the math, mixed the chemicals and developed 2 rolls of B&W film tonight. The only difficult part was opening the film spools like a bottle of beer and getting them onto the film spools in complete darkness. After that, it was pretty much agitate and pour at the right times. I think I underdeveloped the film just a bit and my neg scanner is shite, but I'm still happy with the results and it's just like the time I got my first chemistry set when I was 7 except I didn't try to blow anything up this time. :)
