An Alice-in-Wonderland talent of sliding into dangerous situations

There's many things Rachel and me do share - not only the appartment. It's a slight taste for dangerous travel destinations. 2 days after I visited Moscow the Nord-Ost siege happened. (OK, I wasn't attending the Dubrovka theatre at all.)

Now right on the day when Rachel arrives in the Phillipines , the military stages a mutiny. Being welcomed by the police - that's ironic!

Anyway, good luck, girl!

Hunting for Batman: WGT in Leipzig ahead

Just about 20 hours, then I will join the scene in Leipzig as well, just as described by SpOn. Hunting bats, getting mad in the visual overload, and hopefully seing some bands. What I already missed today: Amorphisand Poisonblack. Fuck!

But see you next time!

Veranstaltungstipp - Kult-Metal

Wer nächste Woche noch nicht weiß, was er machen soll, dem sei diese Show hier empfohlen:

Ein paar Stichworte dazu: Marco Hietala ist heute der Sänger von Nightwish, TAROT gibt es aber schon viieel länger. Als deren alte Garderobe mit den Spandex-Klamotten abgebrannt ist, haben sie in Finnland einen nationalen Feiertag ausgerufen ;-) Nein, aber mit aktuelleren Klamotten ist die Musik auch besser geworden, also: hingehen. Ist sonst sowieso nix los in HH die Woche...

Looking forward to next year's Tuska!

Phew. This was a tough one. At 2005's Tuska Open Air there were many rumors about the strict rules and levels the gouvernment of Helsinki was giving the festival - and that it was pretty unclear if the festival would ever be again on that beautiful location. But now it seems like reason is coming back to the Helsinki Environment Center as BLABBERMOUTH.NET is reporting.
