Clueso

A while ago I went to the hairdresser with my bestie, Krissi, and she asked me if I had time that same day, a saturday. I said yes, and she announced that I will go to see Clueso live with her in Dortmund, an open air concert! She wanted to go with her mother, but her mother couldn't go, so i was 'forced' to come along, since I'm not really into Clueso. Not at all. But she wanted me to, so as a good friend, I said yes, and I didn't regret accepting that offer!
After her appointment at the hairdresser, we shortly went to my place and thought town, and then off to the Westfalenpark!

Westfalenpark~

I like to take pictures of walls kthxbai

When we arrived it was already pretty crowded, but we still got really far to the front!
The first support band was already playing!

we actually still got closer to the stage than this! We had an amazing view!

After them was some danish band, the singer was pretty hot.

our view from where we were! :)

Then a break, and Clueso came on stage, and I was really surprised. I didn't even know what that person looked like before XD
He's really handsome, and he has an amazing voice live! Really, the lyrics to the songs are great, sometimes serious, sometimes funny, but always really unique, and the show was great. He also chatted with the crowd a couple of times, and he's a really nice and sympathic person and he sure is loads of fun! :)

Apparently, he didn't wanna leave, so he played one encore, and another, and another and another, saying 'this is REALLY the last song now' every time, it was hilarious! :D

I really enjoyed the concert, and I think I became a mini-Clueso fan there! :D
Also, a girl i know went to the concert as well, she posted it on facebook. I thought "Look at all these people, I'm never gonne see her!" Guess who I met at the crowded subway station with thousands of people waiting for the train? Her! :D

Jedward weekend ~ Team Flower Power~

After School finally ended on friday, lovely Kristina went to visit me, and took me to the central station in Dortmund, where we would finally meet our friends Lea and Julia from the Jedward Fandom! They were coming to visit [me] because I was alone at home anyways [I told my mom to leave for the weekend^^] and the Jedward concert was the next day! It was so exciting to meet them! Last time I saw Lea was in January, and I never met Julia before!

thanks Kristina for the picture~

don't mind the wrong link on the picture as i have changed my url quite a lot in the past years

thanks Krissii :)

We met them at the central station and went home, where we had dinner and planned everything for the next day - we woke up at 5am. Ughhh so early!
We got ready and took the train to Düsseldorf, though it didn't quite go as planned and we had to go to dortmund first. ya so much drama, krisiboo even fell :/
But, we still arrived at Düsseldorf Airport BEFORE the twins did, oh yea!^^

Oh Edward, you beautiful human being, it's incredible how much I love you.

And the moment when Edward stood right in front of me and I almost finally got a Jedhug and maybe a pic or/and signature - there was Liam that told him to leave the building. 

So ofc, all fans ran outside. Again, I was pretty close to Edward, when Liam decided to push all the fans again pretty violently, to get to him.

Gosh I know that man has to do his job, but stepping on peoples feet, hitting their breast or ramming his elbow into their ribs is not a habit he should keep, srsly.

So anyways, Liam got through to Edward, told him to get in the bus, and they left - and so did we. Went to the train station at the airport and took the next train to Dortmund, so tiring. There, the first thing we did was getting food at McDonalds, and then went to the hall. 

Gosh it was so boring at the hall, seriously, everyone was just sitting around waiting, being bored as fuck, and the little children ran around screaming. wtf.

the fab banner~

After what seemed hours of waiting and collecting signatures on my fab fanbanner which the twins didn't even get, we were finally let into the hall. 

It was a big disappointment in my eyes though. I knew it would be seated, because the Stadium in which the concert originally was supposed to take place at was seated as well and we payed for seats but still. I imagined it to be at least a little... better. The seats were meeeeeters away from the stage, and basically we were further away then imagined. We were allowed to stand up during the concert, but we were not allowed to leave the rows of seats or stand up on the seats(which Julia and I did nonetheless^^)

Seriously, I was so bad,  i felt so sad and kinda depressed. 

really, they should've just taken the seats away then, it would've been a thousand times better. Julia and I talked to one of the security people and he even agreed with us, saying that he thiks it sucks as well but he unfortunately can't change anything as well. 

Seriously, I think everyone hated it. Who even got that stupid idea?

And ofc the twins barely saw the banner like that and there was no way of passing it to them. -.-

/rant over.

Oh, I also took some pictures of the actual concert, you can find them here, as well as videos and other random fanart/stuff that's got to do with the twins^^!

After the concert, we left the hall and found out that the twins had already left as well, so we hurried to the subway station. On our way we saw some of the people visiting the Flower Power Party in the big Westfalenhalle.

Wish I could've joined them. ☺ 

haha ;D 

In the end the 4 of us decided to call ourselves Team Flower Power now, since the name "team awesome" seemed to be in use in the fandom already.

so, we hurried to the station, took the next train to düsseldorf and hoped to still see the twins, and maybe give them my banner as well - but unfortunately, they had already checked in when we arrived. So sad, I've been waiting for this day for month now, have been so excited, and now - well nothing happend. 

It was so depressing, really.

In the end we went home again, where we then made Pizza at 2am, just to go to sleep seconds later. We ate the pizza in the morning, as breakfast then XD 

We had to wake up early once again as well, because we needed to take the girls Dortmund Central Station, they left us again.

And then, something happend. 

The Unfollowing.

As we were on the train the twins tweeted it.

They would unfollow all the fans they previously follwed.

And guess what?

We partied.

I would've loved to get a follow from the twins one day, but seriously, it's way better this way. That makes all the fans equal again. Sure, the people followed complain, that it might not change anything, but it actually does. I've seen loads of people that seemed to feel all high and mighty just cause the got a follow, people that would almost act as if the knew the twins. It was the best idea ever!

But our joy left when we took the girls to their trains, and went back home. Kristina left as well, and as I set alone at home I felt terribly lonely. 

Giiiiirls, come back soon! >.<

Team Flower Power will reunite so soon, luckily, on august 25th! Ahhhh~ Can't wait to have a good time with them!

LM.C in Bochum! [24/05/2012]

ASJDGWEJHR. I have so many feels; I don't even know where to start with this entry!

I think, I should start, uhmmm Wednesday. That day, I took the Bus to Bochum straight after school, to meet up with firends from Amsterdam, who were in Bochum already because of the Concert! We went through town a little, so they could do the shopping and stuff. I think I even saw some other MADies, I think Kuchen and Sayu, but I was totally not sure so I didn't say anythinggggg. (why am I so shy? XD) anyways, I had a great time with Yuzu, and then it suddenly started to rain, so we quickly went back to the hotel and spent the rest of the day there - just left to have dinner at McDonalds XD I helped Yuzuki dye her hair and it was so much fun, but then I had to leave, to get home, dye my own hair, and prepare stuff for THURSDAY.

THURSDAY.
I had to go to FUCKING SCHOOL.

I didn't even wanna go to school! I am 18! I could excuse myself, but my mom ruined everything! >.< And I didn't dare to ignore her, because basically she just works one street away from the hall and could've checked on me. ugh.

So I already went to school looking like, reaaally weird and stuff. usually i would've never went to school like that, but I think I learned my lesson about that thanks to the MAD family and the concert. I'm just gonna do what ever the fuck i want in school from now on haha :D

Anyways, after school I ran straight home to get the next bus.... at 3.48pm. SO LATE DAMN IT! 

And I arrived at the hall just about an hour later.... which was about 1 hour before entry. I wish I could've just slept at the hall like the others T_T

But it was still great ;) I saw Yuzuki and Rose again, and I finally FINALLY met Kiyomi!!!!  ♥

I already wanted to meet her for such a long time! And I saw all the other MADies again, Kuchen, and Hachi and just everyone, though I didn't really say Hi to everyone, I was far too nervous, why ever haha :D 

of course I also met Jasmin theeeere!  

The color of her hair, her heart and the wall were identical XD

i look retarded xD

pretty Yuzu :)

eh... can't turn it around. weirddd. 

Yuzu and I :)

cute Kiyomi ♥ 

Hanii was there as well, but she was being camera shy :))

It was great meeting all of them! I already miss everyone so much, I wanna go back to that day, it was great! ♥

And then........

we entered the hall.

Now I took some pictures, but most of them are crap quality. but still, Imma show them to you, because there are no words that can describe this concert. just no.

And, I constantly had the feeling Maya looked in my direction. whaaa.

He just stares into every single persons soul i think XD 

german flag

amazing Aiji cosplayeer

and amazing  maya cosplayer

after the concert; you wouldn't believe it - I bought my shirt, and we all went outside, yuzu, rose, jasmin and I. 

I lost the heart i got after the concert, but at least I didn't lose maya's waterbottle I got. I HAVE MAYA DNA!!!!! ADJKHS

Afterwards, we stood in front of the hall for a while because we wanted to wait for Kiyomi. Suddenly, we saw someone, that looked just like Maya.

At first we were like "uhhh, another cosplayer" but then we noticed, that no cosplayer would be at that place, behind the dressing rooms (i think) and behind the fence and stuff. IT WAS MAYA HIMSELF! Yuzuki was the first to notice and screamed "Arigatou" and "Kyo wa tanoshikatta" (something like that^^) I was speechless, then i screamed "Arigatou" as well and waved to him. He said something, but I can't remember what it was. But his voice, asjdhje.♥

WE FUCKING TALKED TO MAYA! Best night ever! ♥

on the buuuus~

my new priced possessions. shirt and buttons ♥

This Saturday || Concert photography

This Saturday was an EPIC day, just saying, so I feel there's need of an blog entry here.

Of course, as it was weekend, i could sleep long, then i had a nice breakfast, did some homework, learned a bit, and then - it was time to grab my dslr and get going.
Thanks to a friend of mine I got a job as concert photographer at the Cryptic Lane Gig in Bochum! He knows the vocalist personally and was so kind to ask him if I could do it - and he said yes! Isn't that awesome! I spend my whole friday night with googleing after how to do concert photography.... everything online told me that it's basically the most difficult kind of photography ever, and that even experienced photographers have some problems from time to time D:
So I was really really worried!
At 5.15pm I took the bus which lead directly to the hall. On the way, some friends got into the bus and I met even more new people; as well as in front of the hall.
I went to ask the security if I was really gonna get in the hall. He asked for my name - and said NO.

I was not on the list. I was so shocked. But I still knew that my knew the band members, and he offered to call them to ask why I was not on the list, but couldn't reach anyone.
A while later though he turned around and saw..... le vocalist of le band infront of the hall. We took the chance to ask why I was not on the list. About 2 seconds later I was on the list - René told the security guy and everyone was happy!

And soon, we entered the hall. We listend to the first band, stood a little in the back of the hall - and got in front soon before Cryptic Lane started playing. I was taking photos all the time! Usually there's this rule I read about, that you can only take photos during the first 3 concerts. But since noone told me otherwise and there were no securities anyways, I just took photos during the whole show, which resulted in ~700 pictures being taken that night. xD

I know that I'm just a beginner, but I am super duper happy with how most of the pictures turned out! On many pictures the lighting is reaaaaaaaaaaaally bad though XD But there's loads of great pics as well! After Cryptic Lane most of our group left the hall itself and we stood infront of the merch and talked. I sat down on some stairs and took a look on my pics, when some friends joined me, and later the bass player as well! (asdjkakeh) xD

And the evening was just getting started! I didn't wanna go into the hall again with the camera, and most of us didn't care for Mob Rules anyways, only later, when Layment played, some got back into the hall. About 6 of us though left the concert part of the Matrix and went over to the disco part. AND FUCK this hall and disco is amazing - it has some floors where different music is being played, and one of it is the Rockpalast (=Rock palace, in case you didnt figure that out already) and we just sat on different floors, enjoyed the music and chilled - it was surely great, and I'd love to do it again soon with all of these guys! ♥

Since we are all from the same town anyways, we took the same train back home, and walked the last meters together. It was great fun and I think I have made loads of new friends ;) It was great. Just plain great!

also, check out their Single "Kill the oppression"! 

Rock in den Ruinen! ^O^

ahhhh yesterday was such a nice day. I was worried it would e awkward and boring, but it was really great! A friend and I went to "Rock in den Ruinen" in Dortmund! 

The day started out with me... missing my train, ofc. So i sat at our main station for haaaaalf an hour to wait for it and wait and wait. and i made a shocking discovery.

The emo's are back. And they are here. it was weird. there have never been emos here and now so many show up out of nowhere xD

Anyways, so I went to Dortmund, where Rock in den Ruinen took place. The location in Hörde was really nice, the ruins looked so cool, it'was amazing! I'm planning on going there again soon to take loads of photos! ^-^

But seriously I felt so comfortable there. all rockers and metalheads and stuff. i loved it. I can just imagine how great it'd feel to go to Wacken one day haha :D

The music was great, even though I didn't know any of the acts that actually played haha :D
But it was really nice. we sat down ion the grass alltogether and talked and it was loads of fun!

It was so warm when I went there as well, so I went in just a t-shirt and shorts.
I probably shouldn't have done that.

IT GOT SO FREAKING COOOOOLD! damnit! i knew it was gonne be cold later, but i didn't expect it do be THAT cold, really.
But it was still a great day.
In the end, another friend even drove me home XD

So we left the festival grounds and went to the parking space.

In the parking lot, there were only 2 cars.
One was the one of a friend, obviously. The other was standing in the dark.
I just saw 4 heads in there, and a naked body.
I think I don't have to tell you what they were doing there.
When we drove off, and turend on the lights, they shone directly in the other car.
I saw the girl lift her head, grinning, signing "rock on \m/" with her hand and going back to what she was doing before. IT WAS HILARIOUS I CAN TELL YOU.
I will probably never ever forget this!

On our way home we stopped at McDonalds and spent almost 2 hours there xD
until that McDonald's actually really closed. (so much for "opend 24hours haha) :D
Then, we all drove home and said bye. It was a really nice day!
I hope I can go with all of them again next year, it would be great!

CASPER live in Hamburg!

As I already mentionend in my last blog entry - I went to Hamburg last weekend, to see CASPER live on saturday night. So, there my story continues!  After finally changing into my new outfit and doing my hair and make-up, my cousine, my uncle and I took the subway to the Reeperbahn! There, we waited for my cousines friend, Fynn for a while. That was a nice opportunity for me to go sightseeing a little......

this is the Große Freiheit 36, the Hall the concert was in. It's a quite small hall...

not so sure i like it. There's too many stairs, and the bar is built kinda werid. but it looks cool, anyways!

The "Olivia Jones Bar" - i dunno if you have heard of it, but Olivia Jones is pretty famous in germany i guess~

I wish I could've gone in there, but there wasn't enough time! Next time when I'm in Hamburg, in Summer probably, I'll get in there ;D

"The Beatles Platz" Golden Silouhettes from the Beatles! 

I love the Beatles, and I've never seen this place before! I was seriously really fascinated!

There was also a Restaurant where the Beatles ate.... really cool. also plan on eating there next time. :D

And I also saw a Limo right there. Seriously, I wanna ride in a Limo one day!!

But now, let's talk about the concert!

Since Cro was too busy to even call Cas he told him on FACEBOOK that he won't be attending the Tour as a supporting act so Kraftklub did it! We missed them (unfortunately, they are seriously cool!) because we waited for Fynn... but yea.

Then

we

saw

CASPER

live.

AHHH!

So, I can't say much about it. It was just really really EPIC, noone can deny.

AND it was made into a DVD as well. Both concerts in Hamburg, on Saturday and Sunday were recorded for the LIVE DVD; WHOOO!

So, since i really can't put in words how awesome this concert was, here are some photos ;) 

Casper on Stage, a few minutes after the start of the concert. He had a wolf mask with 2 lights shining out of the eyes! That was cooool! :)

that guys cap is SO in the way. ugh.

Mittelfinger hoch!

probably my best photo. ♥

Mit Verachtung!

Lilablau (ft. Thomas Azier)

They deffo moved too much. -.-

Basically, these are all the pictures I took... I'm happy I didn't take much more - I mean, I wasn't there to take photos, I was there to enjoy the concert! I restrained myself from taking pictures, yaaay! And soon, I'll have the live DVD anyways haha :D

Uhm I still have some videos... 3 in total, one has already been on my last Blog Entry, another one is here: The first song, Der Druck steigt. whooo!

I still have another video. but, hell, youtube is SO SLOW! ><

I'll put video no.3 online another day then!

Hope you liked reading my concert report (it wasn't much of a report was it? haha :D)
