wow.. I guess that's the most beautiful story I've ever read..! I think Elisabetta will never ever forget this moment... Mika is simply one of a kind ..amazing
well ... to my story (excuse my english):
My friend and I are from vienna ..so we combined the concert with a holiday (just like mellody). We had a couple of days on the beach in lignano (wonderful) and our anticipation for the gig grew and grew with each day (it would be our second gig ..besides the one in vienna)
codroipo is very small and we didn't have a car ...we had to find a bus to get us there ..which wasn't easy at all (there was only one bus to codroipo, which drove only two times a day) finally we got on the bus (we were the only passengers ).
then we landed somewhere in codroipo (we couldn't find the place on our map) so we just started walking into the direction where the villa manin should be ..we ended up walking like one and a half hour in midday heat, but we finally got there
it looked so beautiful ...I guess it's the perfect place to have a open air gig!
we got numbers 58 and 59 and spended the rest of the day in the shadows of villa manin ..it was very relaxed ..and it was great to see (and especially hear) the buildup of the stage and the soundcheck ..I sooo loved the flowerbackground
everything went very well because of all the nice and kind people who were there! I was happy to get to know especially mellody, cassilda (+ gang), faballa, the girl who we spend the m&g with (sorry, don't knwo your name)) and also a big thank you to the girl with numbers who explained everything to us in english at the queue before we got in
well the gig was way to short for me ...but amazing!! I loved the atmosphere ... the italians are good in making root for the show
we were standing in the second row on the left side .. great spot! I loved the talking about the dream about the toy boy song .. I couldn't stop laughing
I also loved blue eyes and sitm (my two favourite live-songs) ... sitm live is the most amazing thing I've ever experienced and the interacting with the band was very entertaining
after the gig we followed mellody and the others and got to the m&g place
I wanted him to sign my ipod (cause I forgot to let him sign something in vienna) but sadly he didn't sign anything.
oh and he was so nice to the dyslexic children.. it was nice to watch him talking with them
my friend an I had a necklace with a plastic goldfish on it for him (sounds crazy I know ^^)
before the show we gave his mother a fishbowl (which we designed) and asked her to give it to him because it would be very unhandy to dance with it during the show mrs p looked at us with a very irritaded look but smiled and took it with her.
so we asked him at the m&g if his mother gave him the 'fish-glas-thing' (we didn't know how to describe it) he looked very confused and said 'no... not yet..?' then I gave him the necklace and told him that this one is the second part ...he than smiled and thanked us and went on
then we went back to codroipo in the middle of the night (hungry and tired) and didn't find the way back to the bus station it was very very cold and there was noone but us except for some peacocks
we then spent the rest of the night on two park benches until the bus at 8am took us home
sorry for the length of my report
oh and thx for the reports
and the amazing pics!! they are fantastic, mellody!
