Whee

I'm de-smoked now (that's what I hate most about going to concerts or bars: that everything you wore and even your hair is completely smoked. I hate the smell of cold cigarette smoke) and have just had lasagna while watching an episode of Enterprise.

Now I'm ready to write about the concert. I did not take the camera because I was pretty sure I would not be allowed to take it in with me. However it turns out I could've just hidden it in my sleeve. They didn't check there. Oh well... First thing I had to realize when we got there was that the balcony was closed. Great. Remember when I told you about my luck with long-haired very tall guys always blocking my view at concerts? Sure enough about 5 minutes after I had found a good spot from which I could see the band the first 2-meter-guy had found the spot right in front of me very attractive and decided to stay there. *sigh* I hate them for keeping the balcony closed. Well anyhow the concert started out a little slow but got better towards the end. The main problem was that the singer did not keep a steady distance to the mic so that his voice was barely audible sometimes and sometimes it was ok. The songs where his voice was steady were the best. They also brought some cool merchandise. I would've loved to buy this really cool red T-shirt. But they didn't have those in girl sizes.

The coolest shirts always come only in large sizes. Michi just ordered a bunch of very cool Wipeout Fusion (yes the video game) shirts from Kappa. They don't come in girl sizes. Most shirts I find on the net are only available from M onwards (granted most of them are geek shirts and it is a known fact that a lot of geeks come in XXL). I hate that.

So I bought the only girl sized T-shirt they had (which turned out to be a shirt for kids aged 9-11, height 140cm :) But it fits!). I also bought a cool blue sticker (which I scanned so I could include it in this post) with the same logo that was on the T-shirt I wanted but didn't get and a little red badge with the same logo as a surrogate for the shirt.
