zia Giovi

Dai Rosella, il ragazzo è un po' permaloso. Potrei capire se fosse stato fischiato, se gli avessero lanciato ortaggi, se fosse successo ieri... Andare avanti con questa storia dopo mesi è un po' eccessivo, anche se io non capisco proprio la polemica sul perché non dovrebbe cantare pezzi francesi in UK. Io ho sentito Battiato cantare in francese vicino a Verona e non si è scomposto nessuno, per dire. E non erano nemmeno pezzi di Battiato! Ma 2 o 3 in un scaletta ci possono stare e anche bene. Poi possiamo credere fino in fondo che sia sentito terribilmente ferito o possiamo mettere un paletto ed ipotizzare che ci abbia ricamato un po' su com'è sua abitudine. In fondo è anche la sua fantasia sfrenata che ci piace tanto di lui , e quando racconta le sue storielle è estremamente affascinante, esercita un fascino magnetico e noi ci caschiamo sempre

Io ho smesso di praticare molti anni fa, anche se per un periodo avevo provato a riprendere. Ma la pratica non è indispensabile per apprezzare, anzi a volte secondo me lasciarsi trasportare dal lato emotivo ed estetico è più appagante

Non quoto tutti i messaggi, ma mi pare che la "questione francese" sia scappata di mano ed abbia assunto proporzioni esagerate. Al di là di tutto poi sono dispiaciuta per la fan che si è vista coprire di insulti su Twitter, Mika è abbastanza grande e si sa difendere da solo senza che suoi fan agiscano da giustizieri. Certo nel tempo siamo stati viziati, non ci sono altri artisti che parlano correntemente così tante lingue e che hanno in repertorio pezzi in lingue diverse.

Un'altra appassionata di balletto!

If you buy the Golden Circle Pit you have a good spot in any case. Of course you can arrive in advance and get a better place but this is up to you, while if you take the other standing places the earlier you start queueing the closer to the stage you end up.

Zed live is the local promoter, Ticket one is a reseller. I suggest you to check both, because they probably apply slightly different sales and shipping conditions. I attended several gigs at PSB in the past but this is the first time I see a standing area there. I bought the Golden Circle Pit because I don't want to spend the whole day queueing (it'll be in July, we may have 40° C!!!), but I have no idea if the GCP is a really tiny area as shown in Ticket One map. The square is actually quite a big one

Coraggio! E' una bella sfida ma vedrai che ci saranno altri concerti più avanti, e quando starai meglio potrai divertirti di più.

E' davvero tanto che non passo da queste parti, e vedo un sacco di nomi nuovi. Benvenute a tutte, spero di incontrarvi di persona ai prossimi concerti! Io dovrei andare a Parigi, Piazzola sul Brenta e Trieste. Preferisco usare il condizionale perché mancano ancora parecchi mesi, e sono un po' scaramantica.

I understand, buying a house is such a huge project, and it deserves the priority. Besides, I'm not used to plan my holidays 7 or 8 months in advance and the whole thing is really weird to me. Anyway, if you need more info feel free to ask

I tried to call and to email Zed live to ask about a homeward bus, but I had no reply. The only information that I got at the tourists' bureau is that usually Zed live decides whether to arrange the bus or not only at the last minute, based on how many requests they receive (minimum 7 requests, at 5,00 euros per person). This is of course an informal statement, considering that comes from an external agent. If someone is interested, two car rental companies are available at Padova railway station (a compact car costs about 80,00 euros per day). Eventually, during the summer daily buses leave from Padova to Jesolo (with intermediate stops to Caorle, Eraclea and other minor places) and to Sottomarina. The timetable will be published by the middle of June.

Ragazze, se controllate i post precedenti trovate le informazioni sui trasporti e alcuni link per gli alberghi.

Intanto sai come andarci, è già qualcosa Ma non è più vicina Piazzola sul Brenta per te?

I called Zed live before sending my post in order to check if they will arrange the bus this year, but they were still on holiday. Considering that there's almost no place to sleep in PSB and no public transport during the night, the bus thing would be a good idea. The only problem is that it will probably leave immeaditely after the gig. I mean that if you want to hang out with your friends or try to see if you can meet Mika, the bus will not allow you to do so but of course this is a personal choice. There is a big parking area near the venue, but you don't have to worry because there's dedicated staff who'll show you where to park. And ask you 5,00 € the whole little town of PSB will be closed and you'll pay 5,00 € for the parking wherever you will park.

Ciao nuove arrivate, benvenute! Credo che ci vedremo quest'estate, sono sicura che ci sarà da divertirsi

You're welcome. I'll post something more about the surrondings in the next days, for people who'd like to spend their holidays here There are still tickets available anyway, I think you have time to plan what to do

The first thing that needs to be said is that the venue is called "Amphiteather Camerini" but is actually a half-round shaped square. I have found a list of accommodations nearby http://www.propiazzola.it/il-territorio/6187-2/ In any case, these places are at least 1,5 km far from the venue therefore only a couple of them can be reached by walk when you are on your way back. Other possible, not too far, places to stay are http://www.hotelcrowneplazapadova.com/ http://www.bertolini1849.it/ http://www.posta77.it/ but you'll still need a car or a taxi. There is plenty of hotels downtown in Padova, of course: you can check the full list here http://www.turismopadova.it/it/staystart Once you are in PSB, there's a big supermarket where to find food, drinks and other basic supplies

First of all, how to reach the venue: the easiest way is by car, motorway A4, exit "Padova Ovest". If you arrive by plane (Venice and Treviso are the nearest airports) you have to come to Padova first, and then catch the bus, or a taxi, to Piazzola sul Brenta. The bus to PSB leaves from the bus terminal integrated to the railway station, so the same instructions are valid also for people arriving by train and the trip is approx. 30 minute long. (A note for French fans: you can easily reach Padova from Paris and Dijon by the night train “Thello”) There are several ways to go from the airports to Padova, the cheapest one is by bus, but you can consider also the bus-shuttle Airservice. The costs are: VENICE-PADOVA BUS: 8,50 (including one suitcase) SHUTTLE "Airservice": 33,00 € SHUTTLE "Landomas": 30,00 € PADOVA-PIAZZOLA SUL BRENTA: BUS: 3,70 € VENICE-PIAZZOLA SUL BRENTA: SHUTTLE "Airservice": 60,00 € SHUTTLE "Landomas": 60,00 € TREVISO-PADOVA BUS: 6,00 (luggage NOT included) SHUTTLE "Airservice": 40,00 € SHUTTLE "Landomas": 40,00 € PADOVA-PIAZZOLA SUL BRENTA: BUS: € 3,70 TREVISO-PIAZZOLA SUL BRENTA: SHUTTLE "Airservice": 62,00 € SHUTTLE "Landomas": 65,00 € The shuttle must be booked in advance (usually they ask also the flight code and arrival time), the fare becomes a little cheaper the more people you book and if you book at the same time the trip back to the airport and it will take you to your hotel directly. http://www.airservicepadova.it/it/bus-navetta/ http://www.landomas.it/servizi.html Bus tickets are available at newspaper kiosks, tobacconists and on board (at a higher price, though) I have sent and e-mail to the local taxi company in order to know if you can book a car in advance, because there's no way to go back to Padova by bus after the night. They don't accept advanced bookings, and the fare is 50,00 € approximately from PSB to the railway station.

The place is at about 20 km from Padova. You can reach it by bus during the day, the problem is how to come back in the night because as far as I remember there are no hotels there. I'll let you know something more in the next days after a proper check

The nearest beach is Sottomarina di Chioggia, about 70 km far from Piazzola sul Brenta. Honestly not the place where I spend my holidays, we usually go there only for day trips. You could go to Jesolo, if you like to hang out in nightclubs, or to Caorle (120 km) or Lignano (150 km), if you prefer quiet places. Probably the best place nearby if you have kids is Cavallino, close to Jesolo.

Well, there's not a big price difference between IBS and Feltrinelli after all. I think they asked your taxpayer number (in Italy we have one since our birth) just to have an additional control key in case other customers have the same name and surname as you. I don't expect any fiscal consequences considering that you are a person and not a company

You can try IBS http://www.ibs.it/disco/0602547623515/mika/no-place-in-heaven.html CD € 18,81 + PP € 8,80 or Feltrinelli http://www.lafeltrinelli.it/musica/cd-album/mika/no-place-heaven-special-edition/0602547623515 CD € 17,59 + PP TBA (you can choose the delivery method and see the cost only when you order, but in any case before you complete the purchase: you can cancel the order in case the shipping cost is too high)

Ciao Marco, benvenuto! Sono anch'io di Padova, magari ci vedremo a Piazzola

I quote this picture because it's super-cute and heartwarming, but I'd like to say thanks to everyone collecting all the videos and stuff and posting them here. This UNHCR campaign is something we should all be really proud of.

It's only one gig a day. Generally speaking, I don't trust Zed live that much. In the past they used to add seats during the ticket sales, changing the numbers of the rows, so I don't know what to expect about this "Golden circle pit" or whatever they call it although looking at the map it should be a tiny area. On the other side, the location is stunning.

La mia intenzione sarebbe proprio quella! Se poi non è Wonderland, pazienza, mi son fatta un giro a Parigi e ho visto un concerto di Mika: va bene lo stesso, sempre che non mi faccia Wonderland due mesi dopo da un'altra parte perchè potrei non prenderla bene
