Just got back from the Baltimore show. It was just as great as the Philly show. At the end, there were a ton of people waiting to chat and take photos with Olli and Jaakko. The two did a great job handling the public relations aspect.
There are a few folks to whom I owe photos and told them to come here. I will download them tomorrow. Right now I am beat up after the drive home. Please email me if I owe you photos:

I also had the chance to meet Roark (see messages above).
Playset:
To Holmgard and Beyond
One More
Take the Day
The March of the Varangian Guard
Battle Metal
Beer:
Mathias had no beer onstage. Let me say that again: Mathias had no beer onstage.
Lucky me:
Somewhere between the beginning and the end of the Turisas set, they placed some used signed drumheads at the merch booth. I bought the bass drumhead presigned with authographs from all Turisas members and the Daniel Lioneye members. There were two more tom heads (I think a 12" and a 16", but I could be wrong) signed by the same folks which sold like hot bread.
Drums:
In Philly, Tude used a 4 piece kit fit for a jazz setup. This time in Baltimore, he had his large kit. Both times, he killed the kit!
Facepaint:
I went painted as Jaakko. He confirmed that makes me the first one ever to don his signature facepaint.

Edit note: Thanks for correcting me, Roark!
