Eeks, hundreds? It would scare her off. Shocked

I hope there won't be too many tomorrow, so the probability for me to meet her would increase. Laughing

The concert in Belgrade was so great! Very Happy

I arrived at the hall at a bit after 12, nobody else was around and there were like 3 doors, so I went inside and tried to ask those people where should I queue, but they all looked at me as if I had asked them what door I should eat. Rolling Eyes

So I went out to wait for Cosmicsea so we can decide where exactly to wait. I saw the tour bus and thought that maybe they arrived there. Then she came and we started looking around at all people and at some point we saw Maria coming to the hall, she was with one of the crew guys and we went to take a pic with her. After that we just waited and looked around to try to find anybody else, but we asked some fans that arrived at about 4 (it had been just us two until then) and they told her at which door to wait, and that the soundcheck was scheduled at 5 but when everybody arrived they were all at the other door and we saw a bit too late, Tarja was already inside but we managed to take some pics with Mike Terrana (who was threatened by Alex but they were laughing so we didn't understand why Razz

). Cosmicsea wanted to give Mike a postcard with her niece with a mohawk and he seemed to like it, then he looked at me for a few seconds and said "Hey I know you, I think from another concert." And I was looking at him like Shocked

because I just saw him for 2-3 minutes and would have never thought he would remember me Mr. Green

so I didn't really know what to say and said "Yep, we met in Milan, oh really that's great I would have never believed you would remember me".

And we also met Enchanted_Rose by the way, we took a picture all 3 of us, she has it.

Now I have to complain. We were waiting in front of the doors for ages, everyone was squeezing in, there was no air, I had no room to even take my jacket off and they just kept saying that they will let us in in a few minutes. Two hours passed and nothing, except that some people were constantly (!) going in and out that door and squeezing us even more (I never understood why the hell they couldn't use the other 736536 existing doors Rolling Eyes

).
When they finally let us in, everyone was checking my bags (they didn't even check some people just me) and I was so annoyed. Finally we ran upstairs but we had to wait at some doors that were locked. We were there first but of course that they didn't open all doors at the same time, all the animals were pushing everyone, and I finally got in the 6th or 7th row. Rolling Eyes

I was so annoyed, I was thinking that I spent my whole day trying to get in the first row (got up at 3 am and didn't do anything else that day) and then there were people who came like 5 minutes before they let us in, and they were in front of me just because they were lucky and stood at the right door. Neutral

And then some moron just had to put his backpack on the floor, so I had no place to stand. And I thought that, better than being in the 6th row and seeing just people's hands, it's better to go in the back and see more, even if not that close. So I did but it was also very crowded there but I was lucky to find some column, and climbed on it, and I could see the whole stage Mr. Green

Unfortunately it was too far to take pics, I was literrally standing on just one leg and hugging that column for three hours BUT I could see everything that happened and the sound was just great. Mr. Green

The concert was amazing of course, usually I can't make a difference when a bass player or a guitar player is replaced, but it sounded so different with Oliver than Doug, especially in the instrumental part of My Little Phoenix , it was a lot heavier(though both versions were great).
Everything else was just like at the other concerts, except when they started to play "Enough" I was expecting to see Tarja coming on the stage with the clothes from the video, but instead she had a really gorgeous black (I think) dress and I was so surprised that I lost my balance (not for the first time though) and almost fell on the people in front of me. They were all staring at me, I felt so weird. Embarassed

Then, when she introduced the band she said that Max is a special person today, because it's his birthday and asked us to sing happy birthday. Mr. Green

After the concert we just waited, at some point Oliver came out, we took some pics with him, we never saw Alex, then Max came outside, everyone was taking pics with him and saying happy birthday so I just went and told him "Hyvaa Syntymapaivaa" and he looked a bit surprised, then he said "Kiitos, where did you learn that?" and I said "Oh, you know, I'm trying to learn Finnish" and he said "Oh, so you're trying...well good luck with it." or something like that. Razz

Then we saw Marcelo and went to him, he recognized us, kissed us and asked how we are, if we liked the concert, then we took some pics and he asked me if I can help him to tell people to form a line for when Tarja comes. So I said sure and went to tell it to some girls and then Tarja appeared in the door of the bus (don't ask me how she even got there because I think she came from inside). So everyone was waiting in a line but me and Cosmicsea climbed on some plants and took like 80 great pics because she was right in front of us. When she saw us, she smiled at us and said "Hiii" and then every time she had some seconds (I mean when a fan left and another one came) she just smiled at us or posed. Mr. Green

After everyone was done, we went in the line, took some pics with her and I gave her the calendar, she seemed to like it and I took a pic of her with it and said she is supposed to read one page a day. Then they had to leave because the bus engine started but she said it was nice to see us two again and I said goodluck with the concerts and everything.

Oh, and she was sooo cute. Mr. Green

Pics will follow soon.

And it was great to meet you (Cosmicsea) again, so what do you think, where are we going next? Mr. Green

Such a great report! Thanks so much!
But the thing with the entry seems VERY unorganized! OMG I would have been so pissed off if I waited the whole day, was the first one to have been at the hall and then being in 6th row or something.
But it's great that you 2 had fun with Tarja. *curious to see the pics*

^ Yep, I was so annoyed especially that it's the second time this year it happens. But I had a really good view (I was like at least 0.5 meters over everybody) and I couldn't be upset anymore when she came on the stage. Mr. Green

As for concert pics, I was over it the moment I saw how good the after concert ones are. At least I am reaaaaly happy about them.

I posted them in the pics topic but I can also post them here: http://cmb.pytalhost.net/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=540

Oh, and this: http://cmb.pytalhost.net/coppermine/albums/userpics/10001/Belgrade_-_www_myangelsdream_eu_%2811%29.JPG was especially for me. Mr. Green

I wasn't prepared though, but Cosmicsea has it better. Smile
