Wednesday night.
I called
Vanessa at night ho
told me she was finally
coming and will took the
plane from Dublin to
Amsterdam Thursday morning
and join us at he show. I
gave her our hotel phone and
address for her to book her
room for the night. Then
Thursday after school from 8
to
noon
we left
Reims
by car with
Gwladys to go to
Amsterdam
!! Nice weather until we
arrived near
Brussels
there was snow and smog. We
went through
Antwerp
with little nostalgia and
drove, drove, drove again.
There was snow everywhere
and it was quite cold
outside..and there was lot
of people on the road so we
didn't drive fast… and
arrived..after long minutes
of corks in
Amsterdam.
The challenge here was to
find the gig's place where
Vanessa was waiting
us. Of course we had a map
but it was the worst map I
ever had and we did the
entire round of
Amsterdam
before we found, with some
difficulties the gig's
place. We quickly parked in
a street just in front of
the casino (there was a
casino near the Paradiso)
letting all our bags in the
car then ran to the show
because we were really late.
Then we found the
Paradiso.
There was a big stand in
line but we didn't have to
make it because we were
thanks to Eric in the guest
list. So we entered the
Paradiso, let our
coats in the wardrobe-room
and searched for the stage.
People who weren't there
have to know the
Paradiso is a big
house with lot of rooms with
one stage by room. So we had
to find the stage were
FP was
playing. Easy to do..easier
than to find Paradiso in
Amsterdam
:p Wednesday I had called
Nikki
who was coming to but she
was in the airport and the
communication had been cut
suddenly so I knew she was
there but nothing more. We
finally found her and
friends of her in front of
the stage. Thanks to them we
could be just in front of
the guys, in the 2 first
rank because we arrived that
late that many people were
already glued to the stage!
There we met the
fictionaires we all know
now!!! Really good meeting!!
Glad
to know you all girls !!!!!
:D
Then
the guys jumped on stage,
Joe with a Mexican
sombrero !! lool funny
Joe!
"Hi everybody!!"
"Hi fiction plane!!"
lol
They did
a wonderfull show!!
Sete (Baron
Sete Von Daunt! Lol)
was really really good, he
did great solos, Joe
was overexcited hight-jumping
and Pete
drumming as ever! I was
right in front of him
(as always haha) and
it's was really funny to see
him recognize all of us and
play with us!! He drop his
drumstick too and this time
caught them well!!!
:D I don't know how to
describe this show!! It was
just HUGE!
Sure the best show of the
two we made. I say two
because
Europe
2 was not
the same kind of show as
Antwerp
or
Amsterdam.
You can't compare!
After
the show they were ok for
some meeting but we didn't
stay long. Just a kiss,
congratulations and I asked
Joe if it
was possible to see them
after because we had thing
for them. He said "yes
of course" and
that I have to talk to
Eric. But
Nikki
talked to Joe just after us
and invited the guys to an
Irish
pub near the
Paradiso.
They said yes and
Nikki
came to invite us too. So no
need to talk to Eric.
But we went to see him with
Vanessa to buy
t-shirts and to thank him
for fighting for us to be on
the guest list! You have to
know this guys is really
really nice!! I'm not
talking about the guest list
things etc.. no no. just
about him!! He's really
cool! :D
thanks again Eric
(for everything!)
So we
left the
Paradiso
with the girls and invaded
this
Irish pub (near
the Hard Rock café!lol)
waiting for the guys to
come. Guiness general turn
please!!!
J
We talked with all the girls
here :
Nikki, Audrey, Kinga, Maria,
Harriet, Monique..and
all the girls I forgot to
name!!
J
Joe, Sete
and Pete
arrived few minutes later.
We gave them the
"santa's bag"
with all the presents
inside. I already gave
Pete a present for
his birthday in
Antwerp
and Vanessa
did the
same for Joe
so we just bought chocolate
for X-mas! They loved!
Joe put the
chocolate inside his shirt
you can see it on some
pictures and Pete
act as if he was going to
eat it right now there's a
picture too ! Then they open
the girl's presents. They
were really touched and
happy. Joe
had a necklace from I don't
remember who and he was
trying to attach it when he
said "Oh
It's a screw"
and Pete
next to him said "You
get screwed by behind"
and Joe
answered "Didn't
last long"
loooool! They spent a nice
time with us, talking about
the show..etc. We made a
group picture in the
Irish
pub's stairs. Picture
taken by the barman for
everybody to be on it!!
Joe bring back his
famous shirt to
Nikki!
She was sooo happy!!!
J
great moment. Pete
asked me what I thought
about the show and told me
he thought it was the best!!
I agreed and told him that I
really loved the
Europe
2 one too even if it's not
comparable!! Then I told
Sete he had
to check his mails. He said
he did and saw mine and
asked me what it was.
(it was a picture I took in
the subway in
paris
related to his story with
the girl's vagin) I
explained him why I sent him
this picture and I don't
know why… to support what I
was saying I slowly touched
his nose with my finger. I
realised what I'd done only
after I did and was afraid
of his reaction because it
is really unrespectfull
(according to me) to do
this!! We're not friends!!
But he had a big smile and
everything was find!! Lol I
think I can say I touch
Seton's
reproducing organ now!!
LOL They
signed some cd's and then
left because they were tired
and waited. It was a really
great moment we had a lot of
fun and laughed a lot!!!
Really unforgettable!! After
they left we stayed in the
irish pub talking about how
much time each one knows
them or what gig's we went
to.. our experiences and
about our lives in general!
A nice moment too!! I loved
very much!! Thanks to
Nikki for all of
this!! Happy to be in the "family"
now!! :p Then we left with
Vanessa and
Gwladys and went for
a little walk by night.
Amsterdam
with lights and snow was
really beautiful and
cold!!!! It’s a really
beautiful city!! We went
back to the car to take our
bags and went to our hotel
room at less 5 minutes of
the
Paradiso
and
Irish pub. We talked
for a while in my hotel room
about this amazing night,
laughing again! And then
Gwladys and
Vanessa went back to
their room. They took the
double room and me the
single. Friday morning I
woke up early … awaken by
the sound of "two
sisters". I
jumped out of my bed
wondering where could this
come from!! Then I realized
the tv as turned all night
long and it was playing the
"two
sisters"
video clip on Mtv!!!
And I was laughing alone in
my room. The girls were not
awaken yet so I went outside
for a walk in
Amsterdam
streets.
Seeing again the
Irish
pub, the Hard rock
café and the
Paradiso
remembering this magic
night!
J
When I came back to the
hotel
Vanessa was ready and
we went to have our
breakfast in the hotel
kitchen. Then
Gwladys awaken later
did and we packed our bags
to leave. We wanted to walk
again in
Amsterdam
because we
had the time and the girls
haven't seen
Amsterdam
by day so we put all the
bags in the car (Vanessa
was coming back with us)
and then I saw.. a little
white paper on my
wind-screen. I took it and
read "50e
reclaimed"
by the
Amsterdam
police. I wondered why
because of all the cars in
the street no one had
tickets inside proving that
they paid something and I
stayed parked here only by
night. So I looked to a
payment born and saw that in
Netherland
you have to pay your parking
EVEN AT NIGHT!!
It's 14,40e
a night!! Well guess what?
Even if I saw earlier that I
had to pay my parking by
night I would have never
done it for almost 15e a
night!! This is
crazy!!!! I payed
nothing.. I'm now waiting to
receive some letter from
Netherland
saying I have to pay..
nothing comes… we'll see…
After this discover we had
lunch in town and then took
the road to go back in
France.
It took 10 hours to
achieve our trip!!!!!
There was corks in each town
we went trough !! So much
people on the road. Guess
what.. it was Christmas
holidays beginning!! We were
very happy to get out of the
car in
Reims
because we were really fed
up to be in!!! The girls had
to take trains earlier in
the day because we planed to
arrive in Reims earlier but
as it was too late they took
their tickets for the day
after and we went to sleep…
at 3 in my 15m² studio! Lol
J
funny experiments! They left
on Saturday morning without
any problems!!
I
think this week and
particulary this show and
this Thursday night was the
best christmas gift I had
ever had !!
I'm
sorry if I didn't talked
about the show by itself a
lot.. I just don't know how
to express how it was or
what I felt!! It was just
amazing!!! And really good
to be there after all the
stress we had to make it
works!!
Many
thanks again to Eric
for his kindness and
devotion and Joe
and Sete
for their wonderful show and
to be here with us even if I
guess they will never read
this!!! Special thanks and
dedicace (lol) to
Pete for talking
that much to me about this
gig!!! I think if he hadn't
talked to me about this show
that lot I would never had
looked on the space and
then… came!!! Lol
