So... first entry after a long time, hahaha...
Somehow I feel odd, especially after my last entry, but sometimes it's hard to find the time and motivation to blog. So sorry. (´□｀｡)
Anyways!
I HAD to blog about the last weekend. Actually it's long since I last came to visit a live concert, but after waiting for about... an eterntiy (yeah, I know... it's not an eternity, but I was waiting for ACE for months! after they announced, that they will be coming to Europe for a whole tour and I'm really not patient, when it comes to things like that.)
But let's start with friday morning.
The plan was as following:
3.30am - get up and wake up my dear via cellphone
6.30am - catch the bus to the airport to pick up Tina and go back home
11.30am - catch the train to cologne and find the hotel
6.00pm - be at the live hall for the early entry
Well.
That WAS the plan, but the day started different, because as soon as Tina arrived at the airport, she noticed that her flight got cancelled and had to change flights. She was lucky and got another one in the morning, so I was able to pick her up one hour late at the airport. We had to hurry to get home and start again, to catch the train to cologne.
Oddly the ride to cologne passed without any complications and we even found the hotel in time. It was... well... old? A little bit creepy, but it was only for one night, so it was okay, I guess. At least we survived. w
Waiting for the concert to begin was... long.
We had to get ready and change clothes, then head for the concert hall, where we arrived earlier than planned, so we had to wait for quite a while until they started to let in the first 20 people.
Thanks to my dear, who was pissed at the organizer, when she bought our tickets, we got number 8 and 9 and were one of the first 10 people inside the hall. (-^□^-)'
At first we thought we would have to go to the hall itself, but they leaded us downstairs, where ACE were already waiting to take pictures and receive their presents. Neither Tina, nor me prepared a present though... (ﾉ_･｡)
But we got a picture... LOL
Want to see?
It's not the better one, but the other had red eyes, because they took it with flash. (＞_＜)
Afterwards we got to pick up our posters, the merch and were able to watch the others to take pictures, too.
Honestly... it was fun watching them. I never thought that, they would be this... cute? Cute seems to be the only thing I kept in mind. Tina took a lot of pictures with my iPhone, but I won't upload them all. ^^;
While she was looking for the merch and bought mine too, I went upstairs to get a place right in front of the stage, right before Rookie and waited for her to follow, while I was chatting with the others, that were waiting, too. It was nice, though we had to wait for quite a while until the concert finally started, but then they entered the stage.
At first it was only their support, but then the intro started and Toshi, Rookie and Nimo finally came in to rock the stage.
And they did! It was so much fun watching them, I really love their music and though it was quite hot in there, because there were people all around, I really enjoyed their show. I mean... if you don't mind being hit right in the face by Rookie and almost knocked out by the bow of his violin of course. We always had to lean back, when he came to the front of the stage, stopped only centimeters before us.... it was weird and dangerous, I was really waiting for someone being hit. Unfortunately it was me first, later the girl next to my dear got hit, too. (w＿－； Nha! I'm not mad, there wasn't much space, though I wished he wouldn't have used our heads, when he was headbanging to get some hold himself. Ouch. wwwww
They played a few songs, I was really looking forward to Black Butterfly, Masquerade and Night of the Nights or Canaria and they played all of them! But most fun was Shangri-la, even though it was the last song.
I felt sorry, a little sad about the concert to be over, but hey, unfortunately you can't hold on to moments like this. (_ _。) But my dear made a LOT of pictures. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
So we were waiting for the handshake to happen and then left the hall. I don't know why, maybe I was looking at Nimo a little bit too confused, but when he said "Thank you", I was like... "'______'" and he added a "Danke". I was even more like...: '______________'
Actually I was still flashed and I wished, we would have booked the tickets for Hamburg, too, because after the concert, I really wanted to see them again. Tina was the same, but we had to go back to Frankfurt the next day.
I really hope we will be able to see them in Japan in september, since until now we don't have much luck with the bands, that are having shows, while we are abroad. *sigh*
Let's see...
So... somehow... I wanted to write more. But this one is so long already, I think I'm going to end it and open a Part 2 within the next days for the rest of the weekend, where we have been watching Zombies walking over the Zeil, while we were out for shopping. LOL
Until then... ^o^//////
P.S.
I'm STILL so in LOVE with them. _ _!
Thank you for this great show.
