Coo, Coo......it's me!!!

Time for an update!

The love for my blog isn't that strong at the moment......It's springtime and that means that I'm spending more time outside. Sniffing up the smell of the flowers, enjoying the sound of the singing birdies, watching the new borns exploring life and the warmth of the sun!
It's such a blessing if you can enjoy the simple things that life has to offer........especially if you live the life I'm leading, hectic and fully packed! So, if the opportunity is there.....I'm outside!

We're on!!

I'm pretty excited, cuz I recieved the confirmation yesterday for my trip to Germany.
Me and Mike (the independent labelguy) are flying on the 14th of May to Berlin to check out the band NIL.
They're performing on a festival in Angermünde (that's a town near Berlin) on the 15th and we're having a meeting about the Dutch tour which I'm arranging for them.

Everything goes really smooth and Mike is very interested in working with me and the band.....
Let's hope this business trip is the beginning of a collaboration with Mike and I really can't wait to see NIL performing live and hang out with Hanka and the boys.

Keep you posted!!

Pink in Cologne!

The alarm went off Monday morning at 4.30am and normally I have a hard time getting up.....but not today!
I made coffee, showered, packed my stuff and jumped in the car to Shirley.
Arrived there around 6.15am and our little roadtrip to Germany began......
We arrived in Cologne around 9am and we parked the car next to the venue.
The arena was HUGE with 3 entrances, so we walked around and found Renée, Charli and Lau sitting in the sun! Only 10 people were queueing, so we joined them, settled ourselves and enjoyed the sun and Shirley's tea :)


Sabrina, Manja, Daria, Manon and MJ joined us later! A few of them partied the night before, so we were on a mission......find the STARBUCKS!!!
Me, MJ, Manja and Daria took a long walk to find the best coffee and the weather was gorgeous!
We walked by The Hyatt and there were loads of fans camping out.......waiting for miss P. to come out! I don't really like that groupie thing, but each on their own!

Cologne is a beautiful city and I really enjoyed our walk......we played tourist and had so much fun!
It was a long walk, but it was so worth it.......after months I could finally enjoy my beloved frappuccino caramel again!!!!!


We walked back to the venue and saw the busses in front of the hotel......MJ and I needed to pee very badly, so we went in to the hotel, peed and walked out to continue our walk back to the venue. That was a nice and fancy toilet haha. We arrived back there at 4pm.

I actually had fun with all the Germans......they are not THAT bad at all!
At 6pm the doors opened! And it was a really weird system......good, but weird!
We walked in slowly, ran to the stairs and we had to wait there again for 15 minutes pfff!

When we finally had a "go" we entered an empty venue......we could actually walk slowly to our spots, cuz our enterance was the first to enter, so we were pretty lucky!
The left corner, in front of the sofa.......my favorite spot again for the third time in a row, just perfect!

Raygun was hilarious again, we danced like dorks and the rest of the crowd was imaged that we knew the lyrics hehe. Pink started off at 21pm, right on time and the adrenaline was floating through my body again....who needs drugs if you can feel this natural high?

The soundtechnics did a brilliant job and her voice.....olala! Best vocal performance thus far.
She went deep into Family Portrait and she managed to make me cry.......which is a compliment!
The show was great as always and she was in a pretty good mood, joked around, laughed a lot and all the weird expressions on her face are priceless. Gotta love that woman <3


Sober, which is one of my favorite parts of the show, was breath taking again! She spins around so smoothly and singing on top of that is just not from this earth, RESPECT GIRL!!!!
At the end of the performance the crane didn't worked properly.......it was broken! Normally she waves Seb goodbye......go down with the crane and end up on stage. But that didn't worked out this time! So she had to go up again, join Seb in the triangle and wait for the stagetechnics to come with an alternative solution. The crowd was yelling, clapping, whistling.......
She sat there for at least 5 minutes 'till they pulled out a rope. She slided down as a real pro and gave "the finger" when she landed on stage.......Kudos for her attitude!!!!

The show ended around 22.50pm and I noticed that they didn't showed the video of the rehearsals.......did they stop doing that? Cuz Sal told me before that she didn't saw it in Switzerland either. Such a shame, cuz it's funny!

We said goodbye to the others after the show, grabbed something to eat at Mc Donalds and drove back to Holland. I was home around 4am......tired but satisfied!

What a perfect day! I can't wait to do it all over again next Wednesday in Dortmund.

My weekend in the woods!

The girls decided that I needed some time off and they took me to a house in the woods for my birthday!
As we all living in different cities, we drove seperate to the house and arrived at different times.
Me, Annie and Marit arrived around 16pm with a car full of food, alcohol and clothes. Jiska Petroeska and Jessica arrived an hour later.

The house was massive......3 bedrooms, 2 badrooms, a huge living room with open kitchen, a sauna and solarium. Seriously.....I could live here!
We didn't contacted each other about what to bring......so, we had food and drinks for at least a month hahaha. It was pretty hilarious to see how many shit we all brought!



We chilled the first night with drinks, yammie food and X Factor!!
A few girls wanted to shop on Saturday, but I decided to take a hike in the woods together with Jiska and Annie.....the weather was gorgeous!



After we returned from the woods me and Jiska took a sauna......and ran to the garden, naked to cool off! Sorry, no pictures available hahaha! We had soooo much fun! You should see the faces of our neighbours.......priceless moments!!!

The other girls returned around 18pm and we went out for dinner.
A super cute little restaurant in the city (can you call a church, 2 houses and a restaurant a city???)

The food was delicious and we had so much fun with a group guys (farmers) that had a bachelors party hahaha.....
Satisfied and with full belly's we returned to our little crib to chill with movies and drinks!
We watched Bedtime Stories and I drank a whole bottle of Jack and got wasted pffff.

So the party continued on the ground hahaha.......as usual!!
We woke up around noon and after breakfast we went for a hike in the woods again, came back and packed our stuff! We all decided to go back home on Sunday evening instead of leaving Monday morning. I was pretty happy about that, cuz the girls wouldn't be dissapointed if I was the only one leaving.......


I had a blast!!! A big thank you to my girls.......I love you with all my heart sweeties <3
And we do it over next year!!!

My nerdy glasses!

My new glasses arrived today and I'm totally in love with them......
What do you think.....quite nerdy huh? HAHAHA!!

Oops!

*Bend over to recieve her punishment*

Alrighty, you can kick me for being such a lazy ass!
When's the last time I updated this blog? Ehum.....
Sorry about that!

I'm having a blast with all the little things in my life.....
Life is treating me well and I'm feeling hella good lately!
Springtime is here!!! The birds are singing, the flowers are growing and the sun is shining.....Happy faces all around, as it should be :)

Okay, what's new?

Last week I finally saw AC/DC in Ahoy and they rocked my socks off! A home concert for Angus since he's been living in Holland for several years now.
Kick ass show, as I expected. Much respect for the oldies. Ahoy was on fire!
"Highway to hell" brought me right back to the Funhouse.....goosebumps all over!

At the moment I'm searching the net for travel options for a trip to the Czech Republic to visit the band NIL together with Mike.
Mike is head of a new independent record label and I convinced him to work together with me to bring NIL to Holland for a mini tour. He wants to speak with them first and see them perform live before he introduce them further in the music business. Fair enough....
Not sure about the date yet, cuz NIL is recording at the moment in the studio for their upcoming album. Probably somewhere in April/May if everything works out!
Keep you updated!

The weekend is about work and most of next week too, cuz I'm going away for a few days.
A short trip with the girls. We're staying in a cabin in the woods.
6 girls in one house.....oh my hahaha!! Cooking together, playing games and spend quality time!
From friday 'till monday, but maybe I'm going back home on Sundaynight ......not sure yet!
I can go to Cologne 30/3 to see Pink, but this trip with the girls is even more important to me and I don't wanna dissapoint them for leaving earlier. Cuz it's my birthday gift.

And besides that......I'll see her 8/4 for sure in Dortmund!


That's all fooks!
Be safe and stay happy.......

Update....

It seems like my travel schedule is changing by the minute haha....
No Stockholm gig (don't ask....)
But I added Dortmund on the 8th of April.
I'm going together with Shirley (who I met last week during the queuing) on a roadtrip to Germany and we also arranged everything for the London trip today......FUN!

Who needs money on a bankaccount if you can travel and see miss Pink instead??? Easy choice!

Friday, March 6, 2009

Yup, I'm still alive......

I didn't had time to update my blog, but I'll promise to do that soon.......and tell you all about the Pink gigs.
For now I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay......actually more than okay!
My Pink schedule is updated again.
I can add London as well since tonight, woot woot......

The 2nd of May in O2, so that means that I have 6 more shows to look forward to (London, Antwerp, Stockholm, 2 shows in Zurich and Rotterdam)

Life is treating me good HA!
