Our Utrecht experiance - 18.03.2011

For months we were so exited to finally get to Utrecht and see the guys play their own show. After 3,5hrs in the 1st class compartment of the ICE we were in Utrecht. Our hostel stay turned out to be somewhere close to a hell like experience but I refuse to think and further write about it...:)
The weather seemed to play along but that changed as well when we took a taxi to Tivoli 1,5hrs before the door was opened for us. It rained and it was cold. Not even that could mess up our mood. We were singing Wet Like A Dog and waited patiently. Was great fun. Through the small windows we could take a glance of Carl who was preparing the merchandise for sale. We got a smile from him and did not think of the cold and rain any more, haha.
Finally at 19:30 security opened the doors and we almost did not get in!!! I left the passports of the kids (Joy, Lily and Tanya) at the hostel so I was not able to provide the hard looking security dude with identification. I tool all my charm and ensured him that no one will drink alcohol and explained that we came all the way from Germany, so he let us in. That went well!!! Being right in front of the stage made the wait very well worth it. We were able to take very nice pictures (thanks to Lily for that!).
The show started with the supporting act Uncle Frankle. I will spare you the details. HIHI. We were able to see their set card so we were happy after each song, cause that meant it will not be long before we get what we came for: GINGER NINJAAAAAAAA!
Rasmus came on stage to get his equipment ready, and after he saw us he came and shook hands. That was very nice of him. Shows that they do appreciate their fans. This is one of the reasons why I am trying my best to give something back, cause they are very much down to earth and appreciative!
The gig started with a new song "Jealous" and I knew that this will be a great concert. Since our tinnitus experience in January in Cologne at the Dúné concert we had some plugs, but not for long. They were not necessary, as the guy play by the rules. ;)
The whole show was AMAZING. We were a little bit disappointed by the people in Utrecht but us four, we sang along and did not care much whats behind us. We got to head 3 new songs (Jealous, Boxer and Hole In My Head) and I must say I am soooooooooooooo looking forward to the new album!!!
Lily also made a few videos, so I will post them (some very short) here to share that with you if you had not seen them on Facebook already.
After the concert, we were able to have a little chat with the guys, get autographs, buy a few things and take a few pics.
Now we are counting days until 12.05.2011 when GN will play in Frankfurt.
So please be sure that I will write more!!! ;)
