New Year's report - part 1

Back in Italy (though not at home) after the best fucking New Year's Eve I've ever had. And not only that: remember I mentioned Bela had told me something after the gig in Munich last September? Something I couldn't reveal? He had told me DÄ were going to play a secret gig in Frankfurt on the 29th December and that I was the first one to know about it. That's why I left on the 29th and went to Frankfurt instead of directly to Cologne. Apparently no one knew anything about it though, I even wrote to Markus from the fanclub but he said "Nope, DÄ are definitely NOT playing in Frankfurt on the 29th." And then on the 28th (!!!) I get an email from the fanclub saying they'd be playing a secret gig in BERLIN the next day. Fans had to call a hotline from 7PM to get tickets and you could only get one each. I had a train to catch at 6:55PM, but I really wanted to go, so I just called with my cell phone and hoped it would work. And it did! I got through and got a ticket! Markus sounded a bit shocked when I told him I was calling from Italy and asked me "And you want to come over to Berlin tomorrow???"
