Book launch afterparty in Helsinki

My book launch afterparty in Helsinki at Kappeli with one over half of our 21 year old Kappeli crew, including some book characters on photo. 2 were in Lapland, 2 at work shift. 21 years since we met first at Finnish News Agency foreign desk (where only 3 are left) and became friends and it still always feels like family gathering.
