Er, what?

Quote of the day: "What's the weather like in Milan at this time of the year? It must still be pretty warm, it's on the Mediterranean."

At that I just lifted my eyebrow and said "Well, not quite on the Mediterranean..." and got as reply "All right, near the Mediterranean."

Dear German colleagues, not every single place on the other side of the Alps has super nice and warm Mediterranean climate, you know... *shakes head*

Anyway, Bela's concert is getting closer and I'm getting more and more excited. My current plan is of going to the Dresden gig on Friday (OMFG the day after tomorrow), the first Hamburg show on the 6th December and the Berlin one on the 9th (last date of the tour). Those are the gigs I have tickets for, but I'm getting restless and starting to think I want to see more. I'll be sensible for once in my life, though, and just wait and see how things go in Dresden. Who knows, I might hate the show. Yeah, right. ;) I'm not going to Gießen on Saturday anyway, I want to visit Dresden and then I'll come back to Berlin on Saturday night, so I can rest a bit on Sunday.

If I feel I really need to see a couple more concerts, I can try and go to the second Hamburg gig and to Leipzig, that way I'd see the last 4 concerts of the tour in a row. I'd have to ask for 3 days off, though, and I don't like the idea, I'm already taking a couple hours off on Friday. I could work on the day of the Berlin concert and then go straight to the venue, since it's not too far from the office, that way I'd only need to ask for 2 days off. I know it's only a Praktikum and those are probably the only days off I'm going to take while I'm here (Christmas doesn't count, since pretty much everyone will be gone anyway), but I still feel bad about it.

For being Italian I'm really bloody Calvinist sometimes. :P

Anyway, who's going where for this tour? :)

PS Not being able to check LJ at work sucks. But apparently it's excellent for my "productivity", since I've already been told I'm "fleißig". :P

PPS My team leader is Sarah Kuttner's blond twin. She even has the same voice, for God's sake. o_O

I still haven't decided if I'm going or not, but I'll let you know if I am! :)

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-11-27 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I gave in and got a ticket for Leipzig in the end. Are you going to the concert too?

[identity profile] slash-kitten.livejournal.com 2009-11-27 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
nah, regretfully. The good ol' no-money problem got me again, so short before Christmas. What time were you planning on getting here though? Maybe we can get a coffee or something, hang out?

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-11-27 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
No idea, I still have to check. I'll be arriving from Hamburg, so, I don't know, sometime in the early afternoon I hope...

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
So, I should be in Leipzig around 14:15. Let me know if you want to do something!

[identity profile] slash-kitten.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
hm, I have a class I can't skip till 16.45... when were you gonna be at the venue?

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I was thinking about 5 PM. And the venue is in the middle of nowhere...

[identity profile] slash-kitten.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
aw, crap. yeah, that sucks, time-wise... sigh.

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. Well, maybe next time...

[identity profile] slash-kitten.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah... have tons of fun at the concert though!

[identity profile] slash-kitten.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
actually, you know what I just realized (and I can be such a dumbass sometimes)?! I have a free period before that class, so if you wanted to grab a coffee or something between arriving and 15.15, we could totally do that!

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, why not? Should we meet at Hauptbahnhof?

[identity profile] slash-kitten.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
sure! what track are you arriving at?

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
13, it's the train from Hannover.

[identity profile] slash-kitten.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
ooh, good train. that's the one I basically have a seat with a name tag on XD

awesome :) I'll be the tall fatty who's knitting. :P

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-12-05 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHA, can I use you seat then? XD

I'll look out for someone knitting furiously then. ;)

I still don't have a ticket for any gig... *coughs* I will see if I have enough money at the end of this month... Of course I'd like to go in Berlin! ;)

You have Sarah Kuttner, I have a Tutorium with Nora Tschirner. xD

[identity profile] angrylogic.livejournal.com 2009-11-11 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Berlin and Hamburg :)

And lol, everyone thinks that because this is Scotland, it snows really badly in the winter, yet in my living memory I could count on one hand the amount of times it's properly snowed here! It must be the same for you, when people think that it's always sunny and warm in Italy XD

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-11-11 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll have to meet up at the concerts! :)

Yeah, when I went back home at the end of October is was a bit warmer than here, but Milan's famous for its fog, so it's not your typical "Mediterranean city", you know... :P

And of course it snows in Scotland, you just don't see it because of the fog. XD

[identity profile] angrylogic.livejournal.com 2009-11-11 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be cool :D Just look for the shortest person there X3

It's never foggy here either. The last time I remember it being foggy was about two years ago, and it was only for about an hour. Our weather is... Actually very good! People are shocked that we have palm trees XD

I imagine Milan to be quite cold in the winter. I'm not sure why, but that's how I see it.

[identity profile] gothikmaus.livejournal.com 2009-11-11 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll just follow the Scottish accent till I find you. ;)

Milan is cold and humid in winter and hot and sultry in summer. Yay? :P But in spring and autumn we usually have nice weather.
