Hello everyone,

Today's been a helluva day. Leila called me!!! That was so fuckin' big suprise, really an unexpected move by her. But I appreciate that, because I missed cooperating with her for 6,5 years! And I missed her friendship too. She's crazy and it's always been an event to make music and party with her...

We (me and Leila) were in no touch after the band split up in 1999. We had our disagreements, to say the least, and as stubborn as hell as both of us just can be, we didn't even try to discuss about why we split up. We both thought the other one's full of anger and hatered.

Leila had moved from Finland back to Vancouver where she put up another rock band, but she later had settled down in Ottawa, Ontario. Meanwhile, I had been moving between Finland, Germany and Turkey. And I had established Soul Corner and many other projects.

We chatted some 1 hour on phone, which is fuckin' crazy, given that we live in different continents, but the outcome was something wonderful: We didn't only solve the disagreements between us, but we also agreed on teaming up again! Nanaimo Bars is going to kick ass and release brand new songs in 2007!!!

This year's gonna be really crazy. We're going to meet with Leila soon and make some plans for the future. We'll keep you all updated.

Take care everyone,

Aki
