Sinister: Rotterdam

[anakin_sky at xxx.net]

some other songs they played that marc forgot to mention: 
  seeing other people
  waking up to us
  dirty dream no.2
  wandering alone + 2 other songs from storytelling
  legal man, of course, and an impro of oliver´s army.   
i totally agree with marc that belle were absolutely amazing, i saw them for
the first time, although i´ve been a fan since 1996, they just never came to
germany, as far as i know. i was so incredibly happy during the gig, the
good thing about this not having been in britain was that it wasn´t so
crowded,
you could stand in front and you could dance and it was staged in a
big theatre,
really beautiful. afterwards we went to see david kitt, who was great, at
the end he played a song that was about 20 minutes long and him and the band
went all mogwai, really noisy and epic and intense. we haven´t seen much else,
cause we needed some time to relax and drink beer, as you could neither smoke
nor drink in the theatre itself, unfortunately.
oh, and rotterdam is a beautiful city, not in the classic sense, much has
been destroyed during world war II, but it´s very lively and cool and you can
bicycle in the sun and have picnics by the water and stuff...nice.

something personal at the end, today i got the confirmation that i will go
to manchester in september to study there for a year. there were 3 places
available in the erasmus programme, and i have got one and i´m really proud and
happy and i can´t wait!

love, anakin
