I personally found that the more I'm getting involved with this project, the less time I actually have to code which is a bit of a bummer. I've been running around talking about the project and securing some cash flow to keep us freewheelers on daily potatoes, internet and refreshments. Importantsy stuff.
A few interesting people came over to Camp Hastur last week, on thursday we had Elina Stoor from Innorooms, we had a long meeting (lots of coffee out of a pot - oldskool Finnish stuff, no crappy machine coffee served here ever!) and discussed Elina's game, our business model and a bigger cultural project here in Tornio that's going to change things in a big way. Reclaim the streets!

Elina left and it was time to head for the mall to buy some plan B materials (Sergiusz erlang installation was borked and he couldn't push his couchApp, time for a plan B) and we bumped into a guy on a Jinbei, a japanese summer costume. This guy and his students were working on a sand sculpture, long story short, he came to visit us the next day.
As did another friend from the theater world. Turned out that the jinbei man, Janne, was a set designer and the theater friend needed to commission somebody to build a set for a small play. Winning synergy happened. Janne also told he's an avid LARP person (live action roleplaying) and we had the most interesting talk about the larp-elements of hood-o. So it's like the dude's rug, it ties the room together.

| A proper meal! Probably the first time somebody ever cooked anything that didn't say Saarioinen in it at camp Hastur. It was awesome! |
Both Elina and Janne absolutely loved our space at the camp. I absolutely loved the flow of energy of these people brought in. We've been getting stuff done on many levels and keeping the doors open, it's been great!
This week is going to be busy with lots of admin stuff for me and more geocouch study for Zergius, there's a new build of hoodo to test courtesy of Lukasz and heaps of ideas to process and people to meet. Plus we're getting a few guests on Camp Hastur, it's going to be one whirlwind of a summer =)
If you happen to be around Tornio, contact us thru our Facebook Page and inform when you might be coming over. Join the creative buzz people. There's a ton of things to do together, a ton of things to get inspired at Camp Hastur!
That's it for now =)
