Ask Information for advice
You can’t ask too stupid questions from Ilosaari Rock’s information stands. Even though people are constantly streaming past, Kirsi Lackman has not come across a question or a problem that she has not been able to manage.
- Of course you can ask us any kind of question, and it I can’t answer it myself, then surely one of us can, Kirsi says as she smiles.
For the most part the questions deal with how to find various places in the festival.
- We’re asked most about first aid and ear plugs, Kirsi says.
The audience doesn’t really have questions about the actual schedule of Ilosaari Rock.
- Many people look in the program and has found out the answers that way, tells Kirsi.
Sunday distinguishes itself from Saturday in terms of the use of the Breathelizer station. In conjuction with Info, festivalgoers are able to check in they’re sober enough to drive. On Saturday, the service was barely used, but it’s been a different story on Sunday.
- People have come pretty regularly since the gate opened today, explains Kirsi.
For Joensuu native Kirsi Ilosaari Rock is a well-known event, but she earlier she has only been here as a festivalgoer.
- Working here has been really nice. It’s quite possible that I will come back and work again next summer.
Knowledge about the event helps when working at information booths. Kirsi knows much from coming here before, and the rest is explained on the webpages and the handouts.
