Niko Karvonen

Niko was excited because it was now October and the tour was on a short break before the leg of the tour began before Christmas. Halloween was finally here! That meant spooky party season was here and Niko loved a good party, which happened to be at Jake's house. Where else to host such an event as this one? It was perfect. The young Finn had donned his costume as per usual which was his favourite choice, for many reasons, mostly because of his love of wolves. Jake would surely understand once he arrived dressed in whatever he had chosen. He had thought of the usual werewolf but this one had a twist to it in that being it was a warrior's armour too.

"Everyone have some spooky fun!"

Niko now coming in to Jake's main living room where there was food, drink and places to sit and relax, along with places to dance and burn off energy. Outside there were tables set up for pumpkin carving, apple bobbing and other Halloween-themed games. Harald had requested an axe-throwing area, so Niko had made sure the wooden target board was firmly pushed into the ground with a pumpkin with numbers on for a target.

Time to party! Niko is happy it's finally Halloween and he's put on a party at Jake's house for everyone to attend, decking out Jake's apartment in Halloween decorations, making it even more gothic and spooky than usual. Why not have a party at a vampire's house while travelling on tour? It would be fun. Niko had help from some of the other musicians and wanted to surprise Jake with his special costume which he got from a decent store. The Finn dressed in a rather fetching Viking wolf costume which he hoped Jake would like.

There is party food, drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, cakes, sweets and small trick or treat bags for people to take away food if they wanted back to the tour buses.

"Hyvää pyhäinpäivää!"

That translated into "Happy Halloween for the non Finnish speakers.

"Happy Halloween!"

Traditionally, Niko's country celebrated All Saint's Day by lighting candles and remembering the dead that way. Yet, he was here in America and wanted to join in with the customs of many of the others, including dressing up and having a party. As well as food, drink and costumes there is also pumpkin carving available outside the apartment with the pumpkins lined up for people to have a go at.

"Everyone is free to have food, booze, carve pumpkins, party and have fun!"

He had heard that Bjorn had hosted the last Halloween party in LA and this one would be even better, now that there were more people.
