Lordi 5 days later

It may be nearing a week since Lordi took Eurovision for Finland, but the party isnt over yet! Tomorrow is the citywide party in Helsinki, to be televised live nationally (afterparty in Onnela!). Ill try to get some pictures.

Rovaniemi, Lordis Lapland home, is planning to name a square after the band. Various other places have promised commemoration. Meanwhile many are trying to unmask the band (literally). The only time Ive ever seen them speak was during an interview with MTV Finland. It was funny hearing a monster talk to a Finnish VJ in English with a Finnish accent. Still, generally the band refuses to talk and absolutely will not appear publically without the costumes. And why should they, after all? Its much easier to believe them as demons when you dont know who it is behind the mask.

The best thing about the whole situation though: Making Lithuania eat their words! "We are the winners... of Eurovision!"
