Introducing Liekki
I was out on the town yesterday evening. Had some fun, though I have to admit, I don't remember all of it. After experimenting with new and exotic drink mixtures on Eemeli's new blender, Petteri came by and dropped us off at Liekki bar. Liekki is a new bar on Uudenmaankatu near Bar 9. The interior was a definite disappointment. The lighting is dim and the lamps are shaded and hung low on the walls. But because the bar is fairly small and it has a high ceiling, it doesn't have the romantic charm of Santa F�, which is similarly lit, or the spaciousness of Blue Room.
We drank a round of Slash of Finger, which was invented on the spot for us. The drink was named after Markku's short film at the request of Konsta (aka Jimi P��kallo). Konsta had told Markku that the drink would be on the bar for him, but we had no such luck yesterday.
I recognized Miika Saksi of smallprint.net and sueellen.org fame at Liekki. I wanted to say hello but felt a little too wobbly to introduce myself. We toyed with the idea of me asking for his phone number under the pretense of having a little sister who is a fan of his, but I didn't have the nerve to go through with such a implausible ploy. And what would I do with his number, anyway?
