You Owe Me, Suomi British Airways

Traveller's tip: when attempting a last-minute getaway to attend an obscure electronica festival in Helsinki, don't book it on a weekend when BA ground staff have all gone home to watch the climax of Big Brother "on strike".

Still, it was almost worth it to witness the scenes of apocalyptic chaos at Heathrow, which was decked out like a season finale of Casualty. Brilliant. But at the same time, what a bunch of bastards.

Yup, made it to Finland (hurrah!) but missed Giant Robot (boo!) but managed to see Mouse on Mars (hurrah!) and Helsinki is now officially my favourite place in the world (hurrah!). More Boolean news as it comes in.

In all seriousness, the next holiday I'm planning is a Scandinavia electronic theme. Although that's as far as I got. So I'm really quite jealous.
