For this we better take the topic nightlife and party, instead of music *muhaha*
The last days were totally stress- and sorrowful for me and I went a bit ill. On day before Würzburggig already I felt just tired and weak. It wasn't better next day. And I guess everyone recognized this on the gig. A big sorry for my rude words in Ullas S. direction. And I was not only one with many different feelings in this week between the gigs...
When I am serious, I was so tired, that I just wanted to stay at home for sleeping. Not caring about this gig at all. But of course I didn't. And like in Frankfurt I was only one, who was there in time. Yep, I am a girl ... What's up with you guys??? The craziest thing before the gig was that Kroisos arrived before inConfusion. Normally Kroisos should arrive at Frankfurt airport just at 18:20 and I was not sure, if they will really make this all by time, being in Würzburg at 21:30. And inConfusion wanted to be there with Andy from Leech at 6 pm to make soundcheck and stuff. But everything came totally different...
When Kroisos arrived at airport in Malta first thing what they read was, that their flight will have 3!!! hours delay. And this means: No Kroisosgig at all!!! My pure horror, but I will not tell you my crazy dream 2 nights before ... Lcukily there was an earlier plane 40 minutes to go, and so Jarkko ran to the ticketcounter and asked, if they can change their three tickets to three tickets for earlier flight. And - I am so thankful - it worked out!!! So they arrived already in afternoon in Frankfurt and Würzburg at 7 pm. While inConfusion was, like all others stigged in traffic jam... Luckily they arrived two minutes after Kroisos.
I already had some discussion with the clubowner about the lousy management. But what should I do? I am not babysitter of 3 bands ^^ And in the end everything went fine and we were totally in time and started shortly after 8:30. The club was very funny one. It had a bit of a gardenhouse or maybe Kollegstufenraum with old sofas everywhere. But the place outside was great and the weather was fine. So we really played outside.
InConfusion was great. Really good rock!!! But I first had to lay down a bit, so I can't tell you what happened outside.
All together we were 52 in the audience plus the bands and me. (Like I said, Würzburg is bad place, because there is no bigger city around, I was sorry that Heidelberg and Bonn had no chance ...) But no matter what, it was although of small numbers of visitor great evening. You could have met there many different people. The full-crazy-kroisos-freaks like me and the girls, who were already in Frankfurt. A guy, who just came to get some autographs... A nice man, who was VT-Fan for years and came more than 100 km to hear finally good music again after years, like he said. And some people, who never heard about Kroisos before. And they rocked the house as well. Nice to see, that Kroisos can infect "no-skijumping-girls" as well!!!
I took all my power, when Kroisos started to play, to get my partymood from nowhere and that was just fine, because it was just party. 98% of audience were dancing and all, who knew the textes sang. It was very, very great, that Ville let us sing two songs! Thanks for this. We tried to get out the third verse of love song. But still we didn't get it completely *grrrr* Without paper and pencil we have no brain to remember ... Hard stuff in such young age. Kroisos didn't play such good like in Frankfurt, because Jake was not ok. But it was great, that he tried to give his best for us, even he hardly could play. And it was ok for us all, because we were totally fine, that we just could be there and have some fun. Jussi had almost laughingflash, when he wanted to play solo and Ville forgot about it and began to sing too early. But this "Mistake" was just extragrinning stuff, and rest of show was totally PROFESSIONAL - like always ;) It was great, even it was totally different to Frankfurt. I had the feeling, that it was to most of audience even better than Frankfurt, but for the bands Frankfurt was the much better place and day. But I hope, they although will remember this eveing as good evening and reason to play on. Staying stubborn forever! Even they are very soon 45 ...
After gig we were sitting around, drinking a bit with the less money we all have, after travelling for Kroisos. Talking, singing tunnen tuulen the 100th time this day with very bad singingvoices. Especially me with the acing throat. But never mind, for fun we don't have to sing opera. I think Ville would agree. Jussi got a few birthdaypresent. Really sweet, how he reacted. We made two cups with our signs for him and Kaisa to drink good coffee. And there were some more small presents. It was great atmosphere. Like on privateparty, where everyone knows everyone, even this wasn't fact, but soon it was, because we were so less people, that all talked to each other.
Me and Jake rest a bit in the car after all, talking instead of sleeping. Ville changed his mind and went to Austria, instead of Finland. And when we came back at 1:30 am to club I got a "woah-what's going on flash", because inside there was PARTY!!! I am bit sorry, that I can't tell you what was happening in the 1 1/2 hours between there. But I got good mood and a big thankful feeling inside for all this crazy girls, what were still there, enjoying this evening together. There was good music and EVERYONE was dancing. And when I say everyone, I mean this. Including Jussi!!! Please, if you ever see him on dancing stage, take care that you are 5 meters away from him, it might be dangerous ... *don't take me too serious* We even danced all together in a circle, like it would be carneval. A party, what could have have no end - in my own opinion. From my side. But the boys had to go back to airport.
Kat and Mona, who already came with them, went with them back to Frankfurt. And it was very nice, that they took me there, too. Because I had no room. Like always *gg* I was glad to have warm, safety, dry place for the night. First the bus and after this for 4 hours back in the direction I came from in the train.
Yep, you recognized, it was CRAZY evening. So it fits perfectly to us Kroisosgirls and our Kroisosguys. Thanks for coming to Germany!!! Rock on!!! We are waiting for new CD and maybe in some years new show ;)
At least I want to say thanks to Leech and InConfusion for the support. To the clubs, to take us. To all the crazy girls, who helped me to make this coming true. To Jake for being crazy, nice dreamingguy - what made this action just possible. To Jussi for coming to Germany twice. To Ville for loving music, never giving up, singing and let us sing. To Opa, the best drummer on earth with just one arm ;) To Dennis for making great photos, Gatsch for making video, Ulla and Caro for selling, Mona and Kat for "driving", Sybilla for entrance in Frankfurt. To all girls sharing their opions, ideas, experience, thought, photos and strories with me and all others. To all who came and made party to enjoy life on two wonderful very different evenings in Frankfurt or/and Würzburg. To the girls, who helped me in financial way (almost 400 €), as well as the bakery Bachmaier (50 €) and P. Nagel from the Reederei Oldendorf in Lübeck (200 €), to my parents who have no clue of everything, but are just great and helped me to pay the travellings to all three gigs without asking. To Elli for the Schokokroisis and AMANDA V. for the special way of documating the way to this events and way, and being great girls, who always motivated me, to try my best.
Thanks for making this really possible!!!! Now it's done ...
