Alec and Pekka (someone correct me on my spelling, here.) They just hopped out of the sauna and are doing their best Julius Caesar impersonations. Alec plays sax in the Leningrad Dixieland Jazz Band. These guys ROCK. They've been on Johnny Carson. We went to see them several times while we were in Finland. What are they doing in Sinnika's house, you ask? Let's just say we got connections...
Some other members of the band. Here's a little piece of advice. Unless you really REALLY like vodka (which, fortunately, I do) do NOT sit down to dinner with a bunch of Russians. This picture was taken about 4:00am, and all those empty bottles were full bottles of Vodka at, about, 12:00am. Guys, if you're reading this I hope we can do it again soon. Seriously, folks...they are one of the best bands I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
