*Sarah* Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 TODAY!!! :dead: :drunk: ... but i read they won't open with chinese blues, so that's a bit of a downer, to be honest :( i love that song to death. well, i guess we should try to find fran before the show and change his mind xD going to the venue in about 3 hours, aahhh! :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echolot Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Have fun, Sarah! The concert yesterday in cologne was amazing! I met Mark and .. errm.. moment.. r25d01 :D Too bad they didn't play Chinese Blues, Flowers in the window and U16 Girls :( But they played "the song for all the schwankers" (All I wanna do is rock), which was really good :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security guys were also especially annoying this time.:angry: On the plus side, I had more people than ever to interact with this time, as I already knew Phil (r25d01) and a couple I'd met at Rockpalast in November.

Thanks :D The security guys were indeed very annoying , especially the one with that angry face :angry: :laugh3: I catched a plectrum of fran, but it fell down the barrier, so we asked the security guy to pick it up.. he did pick it up but then he walked away with it without saying a word :angry: Also, he was really overreacting when someone was taking a video... so I didn't dare to film Fran that obviously, I was always hiding my camera behind you, so I've got a video of closer now, with you headbanging :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks :D The security guys were indeed very annoying , especially the one with that angry face :angry: :laugh3: Yup. I think he was an extra in "Shrek"!!:P He was at the Keane concert in November too, and was just as annoying that time! I catched a plectrum of fran, but it fell down the barrier, so we asked the security guy to pick it up.. he did pick it up but then he walked away with it without saying a word :angry: I witnessed that, and he did that at the Keane concert too. I reckon he sells them on eBay or something.;) We should all complain about him!:angry: Also, he was really overreacting when someone was taking a video... so I didn't dare to film Fran that obviously, I was always hiding my camera behind you, so I've got a video of closer now, with you headbanging :D Headbanging??:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know his name? :D Headbanging??:confused: Haha, yes :D The guy from the supporting band noticed your "headbanging"-skills, didn't he? I wouldn't call it headbanging, but he called it like that ;) Sounds great! What songs did they play? Would love to see your pics and vids!
