[29.03.2013]
Since the end of
October you regularly heard how much I was looking forward to the Big Band
Theory Tour of Sunrise Avenue and last I finally went there. Previously I
informed me exactly about everything for example where the toilets are (sounds
stupid but is one of the most important things) or if I'm allowed to take my
reflex camera with me. If not I wanted to avoid discussing at the entry. It was
my luck that I asked, it was just allowed with a press card. That's enough
babbled. Not it staaaarts:
Puh, that was a day.
I've already posted on the Sunrise Avenue Facebook page that I can't find any
words for all that happened on Tuesday. Really, words can't describe this. Like
Samu sings: 'And I don't know the right words I should say, never felt anything
this way..' It's impossible to couch this but I try it nevertheless.
My mom and I
depatured at about nine o'clock and arrived in Fürth at 10:30. Just as we drive
to the 'Stadthalle' (guildhall), I see to buses with toned windows and what
should I say, yes, they were it. Because it is definitely too long for us, to
wait there from 10:30 till 19:00 we just walked around the town a bit and are
back at 12:30. The tour buses are directly next to us and so we have the chance
to risk a look at Samu or my darling Riku. Sometime Samu comes out of the bus
with a crate of coke in his hands. I'm thinking: 'Er, what's he doing with this
right now?!' And a few seconds later, Mr. Samu Haber is straight in front of us
and asks if we are thirsty. Yeah, we are thirsty and even if not, who wouldn't
take something to drink if Samu Haber himself gives it to you? No matter, how
bad the concert will be, it's already a perfect day.
When I'll go to our
car later, Riku will wave out of the taxi. Shit :/ A short time before seven
o'clock we are allowed to go into the hall. I'm running as fast as I can, just
to get the best place in front of Riku. No sooner said than done. My place is
safe. Now my mom comes. But what's better to gild the waiting time than doing a
bit of shopping? Thus I look around a bit in the building. I'm not thirsty
anymore but the bar catches my eye at once: 'Can I get the can without
substance please?!' Yes. I could as you can see:
After this I look at
the merchandise stuff and decide to buy a button and plec set, after this I go
back to my place. Now I can't wait listening to the supporting act. Announced
are four Finnish guys, who are called Superscar. I listened to a song of them
on youtube and I wasn't so fascinated of them. But when the guys arrive on
stage, I have to grin. The guitarist straight in front of me looks like a small
puppy, I'd really like to hug him and canoodle with him. Because he looks a bit
grimly I smile at him and then, I finally get a smile back. Somehow he watches
at me all the time. Ok, I have to look the other way. Oh no, he still looks at
me, I think I blush. The whole half an hour I get maternal feelings because the
guys are so cute. Still so young (probably ten years older than myself, but
that doesn't matter :D) and still so nervous. A few minutes before they
finished the other guitarist comes to our side and wants to give a high five to
us but the arms are too short. Haha,
I have to laugh. After about 30 minutes the band disappears but then
they come back to abolish their equipment. That’s
so likeably, somehow I’m taken aback
by them :).
A coke from Samu, a super
cute supporting act. Slowly my expectance is rising into the boundless.
At 9 o’clock sharp it
starts. The light turns off.
Sirens turn on. Riku is at the stage. He stands exactly in front of me. The begin
playing.
I gotta go is not one of my fav songs but anyway it
packs a wallop. My face hurts because of smiling so much but I can’t stop.
I’ve a goose flesh but in the same moment I’m so hot and probably that’s not
just because of my pullover.. I wonder how you can play the guitar in that way
and look so handsome at once, like Riku does ;) Every song beats the previous
one. I can’t believe being part
of this. Ok, slowly Riku annoys
me. He notices that I look at him all the time, that I’m so happy but he doesn’t
make it to give me just a second of his attention. Ok, doesn’t matter because two oft he ‚Big
Band guys‘ smile at me all the time.
I love the break
between two songs when Samu is telling something. I love his voice. I love his humor and
I must laugh because of every little joke he’s telling. I hear that the boys
start to play Happiness one of my favorite
songs. This evening is perfect. Shortly
after this song, Samu speaks about football in Finland. Couldn’t be better.
They play 6-0 and yes, it’s always a
pleasure to see how Samu shows the lyrics visually. Especially here: I will love you, I will hold you, satisfy
you, you'll never wanna let me go But seriously, that would lack. Two or
three songs later, they play Hollywood
Hills and I don’t feel well now. The song is full of memories and I start
crying. But because I get some pitying looks from the wind instruments and so I
continue feeling fantastic and also free. I can forget this story, it’s better
to forget it. When we come tot
he last song (Nasty) it gets a bit ‚schmudsig‘
(filthy). As Mr. Haber says, you should keep shut all ‚ears and eyes‘ of all
children, pets ‚or whatever‘ and points at his eyes and then his ears. This
little blooper makes the evening even better. I’m overhelmed by this band, it
was a super evening but I’m still a bit disappointed because of Riku. After the
‚schmudsigen‘ (dirty) song it gets really dirty and Riku dries his whole head
with the towel, I pointed a few seconds before. I can’t believe what’s happening now. Riku knees in front
of me, smiles and puts the towel straighht into my hands. I knew it. He smile and I have to smile even
more. He throws a plec to the first row, everybody next to me are looking for
it but for me it doesn’t matter. After all, I got the towel of Riku Rajamaa (he’s also the
only one who gives it to somebody in the crowd). It doesn’t smell like flowers,
more like a dose of sweat and a bottle of beer, they drank next to the stage. While
the others are searching the plec, I put on a pout, that achieves ist duty
wholeheartedly. With another
smile, Riku chucks a plec to me. Wow, I love him. I didn’t expect that at all. This
naughty boy noticed it very well that I looked at him, and not like the drooling
ladies advanced in age, at Samu. Any time, Riku goes and we go, too. It was the
second best evening of my life. Outside the room, Superscar wait and I make
them signing my flag. Now they’re more relaxed and in a very great mood. The
guitarist makes a joke because of my flag, but it fails a bit. The drummer just
says: ‚Oh, that was a bad joke!‘ I say thank you and we go home. I don’t have
to mention that I didn’t sleep a wink the next four nights.. I take along so many
things of this concert. A coke from Samu, a towel and a plec from Riku, an
autograph from Superscar, two cans, two buttons and three bought plecs,
hundreds of photos, a cozy little chat with Superscar, 10000 of memories and
not at least a friendly acquaintance, we’ll surely meet at the next concert.
P.S.: It took such a
long time to finish this post because I personally had to cool down first.
There were too many impressions at once for my little mind. And to be honest: I
realize all details only now.
P.P.S.: The towel is
(of course not washed) well secured now and fortunately it doens't smell
anymore.
