Kuuma kes\u00e4meininki jatkui Hollolan keskiaikatapahtumassa<\/a>. L\u00e4mp\u00f6\u00e4 piisasi, vaikka ihan leirin l\u00e4mp\u00f6tiloihin ei p\u00e4\u00e4sty (ja lauantaina oli varmaankin kes\u00e4n kylmin p\u00e4iv\u00e4). Yleis\u00f6tapahtumisssa on kuitenkin se ero, ett\u00e4 pit\u00e4\u00e4 yritt\u00e4\u00e4 k\u00e4rvistell\u00e4 jokseenkin sopivissa pukeissa s\u00e4\u00e4h\u00e4n katsomatta, ihan vain yleis\u00f6n mieliksi ja keskiaikak\u00e4sitysten yll\u00e4pit\u00e4miseksi.<\/p>\n

Kes\u00e4n yleis\u00f6tapahtumissa on tullut samaistuttua teemapuistojen maskottiel\u00e4imen fiiliksiin. Ihmisill\u00e4 on nimitt\u00e4in erikoisia tapoja reagoida keskiaikaiseen pukeutumiseen. Hassuja tilanteita on tullut vastaan.<\/p>\n

Jotkut eiv\u00e4t oleta, ett\u00e4 keskiaikavaatteissa kuulee. ”Noissa vaatteissa on varmaan tosi kuuma!”, sanotaan sormella osoittaen l\u00e4hiet\u00e4isyydelt\u00e4, mutta silti yll\u00e4ttyen kun vastataan (kohteliaasti). Toiset ajattelevat my\u00f6s, ettemme ymm\u00e4rr\u00e4 suomea. Turussa er\u00e4s mies veti johtop\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6ksen, ett\u00e4 keskiaikaisesti pukeutuneille on parasta huutaa feikki-virolaisittain murtaen. ”Kuulkaas neitot, ka misa taalla liene villisianporsat?!!!!”, kysyi h\u00e4n. Pokka piti nippa nappa. Ja t\u00e4h\u00e4n esimerkkiin liittyy sekin pointti, ettei aina valitettavasti osaa vastata kaikkiin kysymyksiin tapahtumien j\u00e4rjestelyist\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Oma osallistuminen Hollolaan typistyi sairastumisen takia tyls\u00e4sti p\u00e4iv\u00e4vierailuksi, mutta onneksi p\u00e4\u00e4sin edes k\u00e4ym\u00e4\u00e4n. Alaleiri, jossa minun piti y\u00f6py\u00e4, oli tosi hieno kauppalaivoineen p\u00e4ivineen. Huoh.<\/p>\n

Hollolan tapahtuma j\u00e4rjestet\u00e4\u00e4n kauniissa ymp\u00e4rist\u00f6ss\u00e4 Hollolan keskiaikaisen kirkon (joka on n\u00e4ht\u00e4vyys sin\u00e4ns\u00e4) kupeessa. Markkinoilla oli kiva ja ehe\u00e4 tunnelma. Myyjien ja turnajaisporukan lis\u00e4ksi mestoilla oli harrastajia telttoineen, mik\u00e4 toi tunnelmaan ehdottomasti oman lis\u00e4ns\u00e4. Tapahtuma veti ansaitusti komean yleis\u00f6n: k\u00e4vij\u00f6it\u00e4 oli noin 7000.<\/p>\n

En ollut aikaisemmin k\u00e4ynyt Hollolan tapahtumassa, mutta visiitin perusteella odottaa jo seuraavaa tapahtumaa vuonna 2012. Toivottavasti p\u00e4\u00e4sen silloin paikalle koko leirin ajaksi.<\/p>\n

Ps. Kannattaa muuten tsekata linkkilista oikeassa sivupalkissa. P\u00e4ivitin keskiaikablogien listausta uusilla linkeill\u00e4, mukana Marian ja Peterin uusi blogi In deme jare Cristi.<\/a><\/p>\n

The hot weather continued at the Hollola medieval event<\/a>. It was really warm, although not as warm as camp (and Saturday was probably the coolest weather this July). The thing with events with a public is that one has to remain somewhat dressed in order to look ”right” to the attending public.<\/p>\n

Participating in these events with a public often means living the life of a theme park furry mascot. The reactions to medieval dress can be quite funny. Often people don’t expect you to hear: ”Those clothes must be really hot”, they say, pointing a finger at you. Still very surprised when you reply (politely). Or then they don’t expect you to understand Finnish. A man at Turku thought the best way to communicate with us was to shout in a mock estonian accent. It was hard, but I managed to maintain a straight face.<\/p>\n

My participation in Hollola was cut short to a daytrip on Sunday, due to getting ill. I recovered just in time for a visit, which was better than nothing. The harbour camp with the merchant ship Sotka, at which I was supposed to camp at (sigh), was really cool, as you can see in the picture above.<\/p>\n

The Hollola event is held every two years in really nice suroundings, by a medieval church (which is a sight by itself). The market had a nice atmosphere. Besides the merchants and the tourney company there were re-enactors living in the camp, which certainly added to the atmosphere. It drew quite the crowd: 7000 people came to see the medieval goings-on.<\/p>\n

I’d never been to the event Hollola before, but the visit was quite enough for me to look forward to the next one in 2012.<\/p>\n
