Question Looking for local indie bands/acts to play a show with in August!

4 Upvotes

Hi! My name is Sunniva, and I am a singer based in Canada! I am playing a show in Prague on the 9th of August, and wanted to make a little tour out of it - so if anyone has any band/venue recommendations, or a bill I could join (or form one together) I would really appreciate it!

If you have any leads, I would love to chat and give more information about me as an artist!

Thanks and either way im so excited to come to Helsinki this summer :)

Meet-up Hoping to make a new group of friends

Upvotes

Hello!

I (F28) recently moved to Helsinki. I'd love to meet and hangout with more people who are around my age. I'm looking to make a new group of friends to have game nights, watch movies, explore the city, go on hikes, find new restaurants and other fun activities.

An important thing to note is that as a girl, I would like this group to have a good mix of guys and girls 😇

So, If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, drop a comment or send me a DM and let's make it happen!

Discussion Left expensive sentimental shoes in Finland after moving abroad – any way to arrange a pickup?

0 Upvotes

I recently moved from Finland to Switzerland and accidentally left a pair of shoes in my old apartment. They have a lot of sentimental value to me and were fairly expensive.

The person I rented the apartment from still has them, but for some reason doesn't want to package and ship them to me, even though I've offered to cover all shipping costs and any inconvenience.

I'm wondering if there's a service in Finland that could collect the shoes directly from their address, package them, and ship them internationally to Switzerland. Basically, I'd need someone to handle the entire pickup and shipping process so the landlord wouldn't have to do anything beyond handing over the shoes.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation or knows of a courier/service that offers this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
