Peter Murphy (29. oct. 2011)

We had for long had this ticket for a Peter Murphy concert (that took place just a few hours ago), and as I was a little hangover from yesterdays Halloween party, I weren't completely sure if I wanted to go or not. But In the end I decided to go (Which I am now very happy for).

So, we managed to get one of the best spots, in front of the stage. First of all, the concert - it was great. They played good, and they had some kind of humor between the songs aswel, that made it easy to relate to the people in a way.
Then. This thing with the humor. At some point in the concert, after one of the songs, Peter starts talking to me and my boyfriend. Unfortunately, the vocals (or talking) is a little hard to hear when standing in front of the stage, but he said something about wanting the two of us showered, dried and then covered in oil (relax people, it was a joke) in his backstage room after the concert. This was early in the concert. Almost at the end, he said to us (without using the microphone) "you two, back afterwards". We were really confused, and didn't know if we miss heard or what, but when the concert was over, we decided to just wait a little, to be sure. Sitting there for a while we suddenly see a head (Peter) popping up on stage for a few tiny seconds, and half a minute after that the roadie came to us. He had a really serious attitude, and took himself a moment before he said anything to us. I almost thought someone had died or something like that. "Peter would like to see the both of you. Are you ok with that?". Yes of course! who the hell would say no to that? So, we met the guy, talked a for a little while, for then to get our friends backstage. Then, we ended up sitting there, talking to all the members of the band (especially Peter) for about two hours. And I just have to say, Peter (having been such a big name in the goth scene for so long) was a extremely nice guy!

Karina, Peter and me.

Black Cat Halloween (28. Oct. 2011)

So yesterday we went to a Halloween party, which I had been looking forward to for so long! First of all cos I really like to dress up, but also cos I love to see how creative people can be. There were so many great costumes. And as always here in this country, I meet people with a smile on their face that are so open to start a conversation. Lucky me, Golem is gonna have a Halloween party too, where my boyfriend have been asked to DJ. Meaning I will have one more chance to dress up.

Punks Undead Vol. 20 - 2 year birthday (14. oct. 2011)

This one maybe comes a little late, but that is better than never!
Last Friday was yet another Punks Undead, and I would say this is one to be remembered. First of all, we had a band from China (Gum Bleed) (whit lyrics like "I'm such a lonely boy, oi"). There have never been a band from a country that far away. We also had a band from Denmark (Teknisk Uheld) and two Swedish bands (Beyond Pink and Suicide Syndicate).

This night we were actually supposed to have a zombie theme, as it was the 2 year birthday for the arrangement. But the only ones following up on that were me and my boyfriend, which we got a few comments on. Both at the arrangement and on our way to and home from it. Kind of funny. Though there was a guy that really wanted to fight with us on our way home. Nothing bad happened, and we learned that the best you can do in such a situation is to leave before it gets bad.

Also, someone stole my jacket that night. Most likely to see if I had a awesome phone or iPod, which I didn't have. At least I found my jacket in the opposite end of the room, so my night wasn't ruined after all.

Negative Concert (7.oct.2011)

You know, we all have this band we start listening to when we are young, and they inspire you so much, that they take a big part of how you create your identity. And even if you change what your favorite genre, you still like this band. For me, that band is Negative. I have been a fan since I was 13, and I am now 20. And yesterday, was my first time ever to see them play a concert live. I feels like my life is complete, and now I can die in peace.

Well, actually I had seen hem live once before. But that was an acoustic concert for  kindergarten, where I somehow managed to come, even if fans weren't supposed to. That time it was the lead singer and the reminding guitarist, which is now also out of the band. This of course means, that the guitarist I saw yesterday was new. And well, he was very good, in my opinion!

After the concert, we went to a pub for after party (and to wait at a nice place, as we had to wait many hours for the next train). There we met so many nice people (which made me want to go back to Vordingborg sometime). I also got to talk to some of the members from Negative and Lagerloudz (the warm up), which were such nice people (thought, I think they found me to be damn annoying).

After some time, we went to the train station. On our way, we were talking about the night, and agreeing that it was pretty close to perfect -seeing a a good and well played concert, for then, as I said, talk to so many nice people.

Club Golem birthday party

I had actually been thinking of writing this on Saturday, but I was simply so tired, that I fell a sleep.

Well, on Friday, the first thing happening when I woke up was that we went to the train station and took the train to Odense. There my boyfriend was supposed to play a concert with Ras Bolding, and I was to decorate the room for a "gothic children birthday". The Golem arrangement has been going for 5 years, which of course have to be celebrated.

So, what I did was basically blowing up black balloons.. I think the correct number of balloons I blew up was 80. I also helped with the "on stage decoration", which was big boxes rapped in black paper with white ribbons to make them look like presents.

The evening was good. For me it was mostly just like another night out, with a live band playing. Ras is allways fun to see live. He really has a lot of energy. Also, I think Ras like to get a feedback of the concert from me, as I often hear the songs over and over again when my boyfriend is practicing them, and therefore knows pretty much where things can go wrong and so on.

This video is from Golems 4 years old birthday (meaning, one year ago) and there they had a masquerade theme. Normally they do not wear masks.

After the Golem party, we went to Davids place, where we got like 5 (?) hours sleep. Me in a surprisingly comfortable chair and my boyfriend in a weird tiny bed. When we woke up we went straight home with the train, and just fell asleep at once. Or, I did. My dear was playing Play station.
