This was wonderful.
I’ve really liked Marianne’s music for some time now and also some songs have a special history with me, like only music can do. So to have the chance to see her on stage was very special.
I got there and back fine, I’m glad I planned this well in advance.
Oh, there’s also a cool story: I had second row seats in a far-to-the-left block. But when I got there that row didn’t exist ! Turns out they were taping it for TV that night and needed that space for the camera crane. Sooooo… instead they gave me a middle block, first row seat. Yay !
She still has that strong and remarkable voice, I’m so glad I was able to do this.

I’ll leave work a bit earlier to take the train for my concert. I’ll stay overnight and return right back to work the next morning. I hope the concert will be much fun !

I’ll be at an out-of-town concert. So yesterday I sat down and did the necessary research to figure out the travel and the hotel. But now I’m set !

I was able to see Anastacia in concert. What I liked most were the high-energy numbers. Such fun :) I had a good time.

I’ve just packed my bag, as I will leave directly from work tomorrow, stay at the concert city over night and return to work the following morning, before coming home again.
This should be fun, can’t wait ! :)

Yay – I was wondering if this was gonna be a last-second thing, so I’m glad they got here with plenty of time.

This time my bid for a ticket was successful. I almost felt sorry for the person, who tried very hard to bid higher than me in those last two minutes ;)
I’ve since proceeded to get a train ticket and book a hotel for the night.
Beside the obvious fun of the concert, I think this will do me good, to get out of the routine a bit with this.

Yes, I’ve reopened this goal and this is why:
When I woke in the middle of the night last night and couldn’t fall back asleep I went to listen to my current favourite song by a new-to-me artist, Amy MacDonald.
I wondered if she might come here on a tour in the near future, so I started checking and I found out, she’ll be in the country next week (!), of course completely sold-out at this point.
Well, I’m currently bidding for a ticket on eBay, for a venue that I should be able to reach easily by train. Wish me luck !

The planning to see the concert during my vacation in Spain paid off in a big way. It was held in one of the plazas next to the big cathedral and turned out to be a magical moment. I’m so glad I did this.
