After a few years' pause, the mafia (regular or semi-regular sf fandom meetings) resumed in Turku on September 2nd. Local fen gathered in Bremer for drinks, food and fannish chatting.
Ben has some pictures of the evening. Funny how I somehow always manage to seem more tired and drunk in pictures than in real life (I hope).
It was agreed to meet again next month, and on the first Thursday on every month. Here's hoping the tradition will last!

PS Some people stubbornly insist that the fandom meetings in Turku – unlike all the rest of Finland – should not be called mafia. Fine, don't call them that. A "mafia" by any other name is still fine with me.
