Some of you might know this, but I hand delivered a package to my target. I thought it would be cool and personal approach is always cool and since he got so much positive feedback to his entry in the Secret Santa 2010 geeklist I thought I should show you all how this happened, because me and Agnes filmed most of our trip to Latvia.
I have put together 4 videos:
Part 1: Getting ready and Getting to Latvia Part 2: Santa Claus Part 3: Spending The Night Part 4: Local Gaming and Sightseeing
Remember:
1. Agnes and I are not professional filmmakers. Hand is shaking and other stuff. 2. We mostly speak Estonian, so I added subtitles to make it understandable. Sometimes speak English as well in the video, laughing is allowed, but only behind your PC... 3. The videos are short conclusion of our trip, not only Secret Santa! 4. Enjoy, hope you like it.
SOUNDTRACK:
Some people asked soundtrack from the videos. Well, I used only one Estonian artist. Hard to get. List of songs:
Sõpruse Puiestee - 1905 Sõpruse Puiestee - Aknajuuli Sõpruse Puiestee - Validool Sõpruse Puiestee - Hüvasti Tallinn Sõpruse Puiestee - Ära Pahanda

I got the idea to hand deliver when I saw first entries of what people were getting from their Secret Santas. And few days later me and Agnes just went, not doing any special preparations for the small trip, but I tried to make sure that the target is home for this, so I taunted him to make sure he is home when Mr. and Mrs. Santa are coming to town.
Video 1 is from our home until Riga, before the Santa playing. Skip this if this has no interest to you.

Second video is from my car when I dressed myself up as Santa (PS! I'm not real Santa, just playing him! Real Santa is still making toys!). From my car to his place you can see some reactions from locals as well. Agnes is filming and she sometimes is turning the camera, so this is why the picture goes from wide to not and it might be quite dark sometimes as well. Video 2 is about me in Santa suit and trying to find the place. Also you see handing over the present.

The third video is about me and Agnes trying to find a place for the night. And when we found one, you can see the place as well. Video 3 is mostly on a phone and then inside the place we were. It ends when we go to sleep.

Dang, I could have gotten you free lodging there at my relative's
17 EUR for this s***hole?! Any zombies around? Survival of the Fittest indeed. In Italy for example it costs just few Euros more to stay in decent 2 star hotel.

The final video is about the next day, when we had some troubles and we met people, bought new games and visited local gaming event as well.
Video 4 is about several stuff. Getting fined, getting new games, meeting locals and sightseeing. It ends when starting to drive back home.
Hope you got something out of this. Me and Agnes sure did!

WOW ! That game store is 3 times the size of either of my FLGSs !
Thank you for posting your videos. I loved watching them.
Ludo store is the only one in Baltics, made by Brain Games, so they are opening new shops everywhere, which means they are doing great...
Indeed, their Latvian store is much bigger then their local branch stores.
Was the other store (where did you buy Beowulf) Kadabra's hobbystore?

Simply awesome. This makes me want to limit my countries next year so I could pull off something similar. Or just skip the international part, Finland's not that big a place.

Raiko, your selection for the soundtrack was very good as Sõpruse Puiestee is one of my favourite band!
Heard stories about A REAL Secret Santa from Agnis, and only today found out it was you! A greatest idea and biggest thumb up for that!! The videos are awesome!
