bm_shipperHeya…
So I’m now finally able to write a report about my „trip“ to Vienna… but it wasn’t THIS long, but I’m exhausted anyways… but I will share my experiences and pictures with you… which means, the people who want to read it :-)
Yesterday I left home around 12:15 and went to the train station… and there I drove around for about 20 minutes to find a parking lot… I’m really glad, I finally found one… I was nearly going crazy and I don’t know what I would have done, if I wouldn’t have found one… but I was pretty glad I went THIS early, because I could have NEVER caught my train if I would have droven later (like I normally do), so yes…
I took this picture right before I left my home, so that you can see how I looked like before :P
I went to a shop and bought something to drink and to read and then I went to the the right platform and my train arrived about 10 minutes later…
I went to vienna, directly to the station where my friend Melanie would wait and from there we went to her place so that I didn’t have to take my things to the concert… and also it was pretty early (about 3 when we arrived at her place)
We cooked some spaghetti with vegetable sauce (*YUMMIE*) and ate them and afterwards we talked a bit until we left for the concert around 5…
We went to the underground station and drove to the station we found online and from which the concert hall should be away about 8 minutes by foot… but we got a little lost so we needed about 20 minutes… and we had to ask around, but it wasn’t all too bad…
We arrived at the concert hall around 6 p.m. and there were already people there, but not too much… it were about 20… and it was very quiet… some girl shared out some flyers and because the hall was VERY small, there was only ONE entrance, so the delivery man who brought the soft drinks and beers always had to get „through“ the waiting people for about 20 times or something like that *lol*
Also funny: The TOUR BUS of THOMAS and his band was parked directly in front of the door, and all of sudden first Daniel came out (and got in the hall) and shortly after SEBASTIAN… luckily he didn’t see me this time… I turned around VERY quickly, because after all I did (writing him a private message and telling him that I’m in love with him…) I felt like he would NEVER talk to me again… I wrote this message back then in September and OF COURSE he didn’t feel the same way about me and told me honestly that he doesn’t have any feelings form e, so it was REALLY okay for me, but I haven’t talked to him since then… and since I wasn’t on a concert, I haven’t seen him since then either…
(Just a note: This message was something I did FOR ME… I was SO much in love with him that I HAD to get it out somehow… And it was NO mistake, and I’m still sure it was the right thing for me to do, because after his message it was like I could „close this chapter“ in my life… and I don’t know… I didn’t even expect him to love me back… I mean, look at him… he’s hot like whoa, and he’s SO nice and I’m… I don’t know… I’m just not pretty and not clever and so on… I didn’t have any expectation, but having this answer, HIS answer really made me „freed“ me somehow…)
Well… Punctually at 7 p.m. they opened the door and Melanie and me were really in the front row of the line at this time… I don’t know how we managed this, but we did… and then we had to show our tickets and got a chop a our hands and thought, we could go directly to the hall now, but NO *lol*
It was all very small and there were 3 other doors who were closed… we stood in front of the 2nd and there was a really big crowd all of sudden… and then they opened the FIRST door… and OF COURSE we were in the middle of the crowd and I thought „Okay, bye bye front row“, but when we got it int was a „strange“ picture… on the right side and in the middle there were already 3 rows and the left side was nearly FREE… for REAL…
So Melanie and me went to the left side and got in the first row… you know, I didn’t want to stand there because I knew it would be „Sebastian’s place“, and I was still afraid the whole situation would be awkward, but on the other hand I didn’t want to stand in the 4th row either :P
Around 8 the pre-act finally began… it was one man playing the guitar, the other one singing and they called themselves „Ebene B“ or something like that (or was it B-Ebene?)… I have to admit, I didn’t like the music all TOO much and so I wasn’t to thrilled, but Melanie TOTALLY thought it was great, but I think that’s a thing of the favour :-)
(That was the Pre-Act :-))
(That was the empty stage… I took a picture right before ANYONE entered the stage :-))
To explain those 2 pictures… when we entered the hall there was not even half of the hall full, but by the time the pre-act started the hall got fuller and fuller, so it’s a „before and after“ picture! In the end the hall was really full :-) I was SO happy for Thomas!
Well… when the pre-act was ready, there was a little time where they „rebuilt“ the stage for Thomas and then Thomas and his band FINALLY entered the stage…
And I can’t say all too much besides I loved EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THIS CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s always SUCH a blast and Thomas simply explodes on stage… I just love him… he was leaving the stage a few times and crawled onto the barrier and touched his fans or sang with them and all of the people were just in SUCH a good mood…
Bonny told us (Melanie and me) later that it doesn’t matter how many people are on their councerts as long as the people enjoy and celebrate WITH them, what they did, and Bonny also said, that it was one of the best concerts they EVER gave… for real… and everything was just SO familiar… before I tell you more, I’m gonna share some pictures from the concert itself (mostly Thomas and Sebastian *blushes*)
Ah… before I have to tell you something else about Sebastian… somehow in the middle of the 2nd song he noticed me… he looked directly at me, smiled and waved… and I thought I’m getting a heart attack every minute… It was just so strange for me and afterwards we had eye-contact a few more times, and it was like “nothing ever happened“… okay, nothing REALLY ever happend, but you know what I mean, if you’ve read what I wrote before… I was still afraid to „talk to him“… but more later… now the concert pictures:
They left the stage after the „last“ song, but they came back for 4 (!!!) more songs, which was just SO great… and then they REALLY said good buy and bowed :-)
Okay… afterwards lots of people went out of the hall, but some stayed because „normally“ Thomas and the boys of his band are writing autographs after the concert… but after about 20 minutes, they „kicked us out“ so we were in this „lobby“ and there was a small corridor and all of sudden there was a BIG crowd and they said Thomas is in the room which is „after the corridor“ writing autographs and taking pictures… so Melanie and me tried to get there but when we were REALLY close, Thomas left all of sudden… which wasn’t the BIGGEST problem, why would it?
So we just went into the „room“ and noticed it wasn’t a room but a small bar with tables and so on and all of sudden I noticed BONNY, RENÈ and DANIEL from Thomas‘ band playing tabletop soccer with 2 fans… „just like this“ and the more people left (because Thomas wasn’t there anymore) the more everything got familiar and Melanie and me found oursselves talking with MOSTLY Bonny like we were „old friends“…
(the „boys“ playing tabletop soccer)
Bonny told us a lot of things, like that Thomas and them want to come to Vienna again and that he thinks that the fans who were there yesterday ARE their fans or „what’s left of them“ but that this is TOTALLY okay fort hem… they DON’T have to play in „big areas“ as long as the people who go to their concerts enjoy them… and like I already wrote: he also told us that he thinks this was the best concert OF ALL… of the whole tour, and that it was just SO unbelievable that they got the hall „full“ and that they never thought they would…
It was just SO nice and NOT like we were „just fans“ and they were „stars“… it was just great and we talked with them for A WHILE… for real… it was at least half an hour, and it was also fun to watch them playing tabletop soccer and whenever the girls made a goal the boys were screaming something like CHEATING and so on *lol* but they played 3 times and always won anywas :P the girls didn’t stand a chance…
During all this „playing soccer“ and so on, we also asked the boys for autogaphs and pictures… Melanie let them sign her RICHTUNG G CD and I let them sign the picture I already showed and we took pictures with them… I REALLY have NO idea why we both didn’t „think about“ Daniel… we got pictures with Bonny and René, but not with Daniel *iz confused* I thought we „got“ all oft them, but well… :P
My picture with Bonny ;-)
And that’s me with René…
Bonny, René and Daniel were the „only ones“ who showed up there so when they left and said something like, they have to shower and get ready now, Melanie and me went outside and like I wrote before: the bus was directly in front of the entrance, and there we „met“ Torsten…
We talked to him also, got pictures and autographs, and then Mel asked him, if he could aske Sebastian to „get out of the bus“ (I nearly kicked her :P) but he answered: „He’s not in there, but if you wait right here in front uf the bus he will show up sooner or later“… I wanted to go, but Mel wouldn’t let me… I know I’m a sissy and after this „eye contact thing“ I should have know that Sebatian isn’t mad or something like that :p
That’s my picture with Torsten by the way :-)
Well… after… I don’t know… maybe 10 minutes, Sebastian REALLY showed up and he didn’t even look at Mel when he came, he looked at me and said „Hello Katrin, long time no see“, and I stared at him saying „You still remeber?“ and he said „I told you I will always remember you“ (he REALLY told me this…) and then I explained to him that I didn’t have the money to „travel around“ so much anymore because I don’t have a job now… he touched my shoulder, looked at me and then said „So the problems with your boss didn’t get bett?“, which means, it seems like he remembers EVERYTHING I told him… it was more than 7 months ago when I told him I had problems with my boss… and he still remembered… I nodded and told him what happened and then he touched my shoulder again telling me that I WILL find something else eventually… *sighs*
Mel just stood there and smiled (and told me afterwards she didn’t want to disturb our conversation and that she thinks that Sebastian REALLY likes me… not like „is in love“ but really LIKE… she told me that he would have NEVER remembered all those things if I would be just „anyone“… I don’t know but maybe she’s right…)
After a while he said, he has to get into the bus, so I asked him, if we could get a picture and an autograph, so he told us, he brings his things in and comes back in about a minute, which he REALLY did (he could have used this as an explanation :P) and then he also signed Mel’s CD booklet and my picture…
Mel had my digicam, and when he came back she just took a picture of Sebastian leaving the bus *lol* This was SO funny :p because he asked „did you just take a picture? That’s really cheeky and grinned very sweet :D)
Ehem… yes… I think I look pretty happy on this picture… happier than on the others, and I REALLY really like this picture… and I didn’t even plan to take it…
Honestly, I REALLY thought the situation between Sebastian and me would be VERY awkward, but lucky for me… it was „like always“… like the times we met before and it was just great… but afterwards I was shivering like whoa :D *lol*
Okay… after Sebastian we waited for Thomas (It was only us, all other people already left) and I thought it’s maybe a bit intrusive to stay in front of the bus and wait for him, but Mel said something like „It’s not that we’re there on EVERY concert and already have 10 pictures and 20 autographs“, which is true, and so we waited for about 10 minutes longer and then he finally came… and looked at us a bit „surprised“ that we were still there but when we asked him for autographs, he said „Of course, no problem“ immediately…
I asked him about taking a picture with him too, and BOTH, Mel and me would have understood if he would have said NO because he was already in a sweat suit and looked tired, but he said „of course“ again, so we took our picture and thanked him for this great concert :-)
The picture of Thomas and me *lol* His hairs are in my face :P
Just when we were about to go, this man who was from Thomas‘ Pre-Act left the building, and Mel just took my arm and so I got a picture of him either… and I don’t even know who he is *lol* But the picture looks nice indeed :P
Then we REALLY went home to Mel where I would stay overnight… we drank something and talked until 4 in the morning until we finally went to sleep *lol* Got up at 10 and because Mel now had to work (which wasn’t planned) I decided to go home (I could have stayed in her flat, but since a friend of mine called me because she wants to „go out with me“ tomorrow – as a birthday surprise – she doesn’t tell me where we’re gonna go – I decided to drive home ;-))
Before we left her place we took a picture together :-)
Mel and me ;-)
And to end this: I forgot to tell you about the „birthday present“ I got from Mel… On the Thomas Concert they sold 3 different kinds of t-shirts and because I liked one of them SO much, she bought it for me ;-) and because I want to show it, I took a picture of myself right after I got home ;-)
The picture of me with the T-Shirt… it looks just SO great :-)
So it was SUCH a great experience and I just can’t wait to go on another concert somehow, even if it’s not on THIS tour, but there will come others… at least I hope so ;-)
So I’m now finally able to write a report about my „trip“ to Vienna… but it wasn’t THIS long, but I’m exhausted anyways… but I will share my experiences and pictures with you… which means, the people who want to read it :-)
