ellenkushnerFinland, here we come!!! I have just accepted an invitation to be Guest of Honor at Finncon in July 2010. (I suspect I owe this honor in large part to my wonderful Thomas the Rhymer Finnish translator, Johanna Vainikainen-Uusitalo . . . and also to a good word from past GoH Cheryl Morgan?) It will be held in Jyväskylä, which is a big University town - but we'll start in Helsinki, to do some interviews, I'm told. Hoo boy.
We are just delighted that we'll now get the chance to see a bit of that part of the world. I wonder how much else we can squeeze in?? My first thought was, "Oh, boy! Folklore! Sami! Joikking! Karelia!" But now I realize we'll be close to St Petersburg. And even Latvia & Estonia. Any suggestions?
