Your heart flies to Ville - Heartagram Drawing Comp
Prior to the 2 sold out gigs in St.Petersburg and Moscow Russian HIM fans found in the legal “Dark Light” CD Booklet Ville’s Heartagram drawing as inlay card.

The competition started in October 2005 with Dark Light Style Drawings, collages and other artistic creations being sent from all over Russia and Ville was desperate to meet with the 3 winners while in Moscow for the concert on Feb.4th, 2006.

Ilta Lethi
In today’s Ilta Lethi you can find an article about Ville. It told that Ville Valo started to rage in the staircase of his house and threw some plant in his neighbours door. As the neighbour came out, they started to fight... He was lead away in handcuffs... At the end he resisted one night at the police office. They also said it wasn't the first time he caused some trouble in that house... He wasn't tested for alcohol or drugs, but they assume he was slightly drunk at the time. (Thanks to Thetis and joeperry1985 for the translation). All Finnish speaking people can read more
here and the whole article.
