Now, my turn :D

My trip started on Tuesday evening when I took night bus to Gdansk. I got there at 4.20pm when the station wasn't already opened :P I had to wait a bit and spent some time there. Then I moved to the airport and took a flight to Lubeck. I was quite afraid if I'll find a way to get to Hamburg but 10 min after landing I was already in the right bus :D In Hamburg Ruta was already waiting for me. We were to go to McKinley, our host from CouchSurfing which took some time cause the whole thing with tickets in Hamburg is quite complicated :P

Anyway, on the next day we spent some time doing our banner. Later we went to meet Adrian at his hotel and went together to Saturn, the place where the signing session was to be. I checked if there are still photobooks and as it was too early to wait there we decided to come back there later.

When we came back the line was endless. We came up to some friends of Adrian and people from the forum [I'll write all the names at the end :P ]. We chatted for a few minutes and than, the Scorpions came :D When we finally got to them I was just speechless, I was waiting for this moment for 9 years :D:D:D pawel was the first one and as he speaks Polish it was the easiest to talk to him. I asked him about Stirwater and he said they will play in Cracov again in December, the same place. Rudolf heard we are talking and asked him if I'm from Russia :P Nope, just Poland. Honestly I have a huge black hole in my mind and I don't remember if I talked to any of them or not. I only remember that Klaus said next year they will come to Lithuania and Poland. These are the most important things for me :D After it me and Ruta took a photo with Klaus and went outside. There was a huge Scorp-like car so we took some photos there as well and tried to decide what to do now. Suddenly Pawel came so we caught him and took some photos with him AGAIN It's quite nice he didn't mind it cause, really, he had the right to be tired. But he patienly posed with everybody and said it's no big deal and smiled a lot :)

Later we separated and met again in the evening to celebrate Adrian birthday. After middnight we sang him "Happy birthday: comparing lyrics from different countries :P As somebody mentioned before as a special guest played one Japanease girl of which there's one photo. We liked the singing but she must definitely work on playing piano ;):D We spent there some time talking and laughing and we broke up to meet next day. A BIG DAY :D

About midday me and Ruta moved to the hotel where most of people were and prepared a bit for the evening. Than we went all together to the arena. We met there some fans [from France? do I remember well?] but again, it was too early so we tried to find any place to eat something. Finally we find one place. The woman there didn't understand anything in English but as she was really resolute everyone ordered something. I took a great quality cocoa which was taken from the bottle and simply heated. Never mind, at least it was warm :P

We came back to the arena and took our places. I don't know how long we were standing but in case somebody got hungry we could buy some delicious pretzels, 3 or 4 euros per one :D:D Nothing special happened at this time except it was SO COLD and we had to wait almost an hour longer than the tickets said. But who cares, it was all in good cause :P Than the gates got opened and run, Rorrest, run! Finally, all those hours spent at the gym had some sense cause we were in the first row, exactly in the middle of everything.

First, we saw Edguy. I was surprised how good they were! Really. But let's turn to the most important part :D

The Scorpions show. The setlist was no surprise but it was all so fine for me cause I could finally hear live Dynamite and Six String Sting. The last dream is Hey you, so I still have some hope.. :D It was unforgettable to be so close and to see all this so well and Klaus was smiling at us. He also had a short speech which was in German so I really didn't understand almost anything except the moment when he looked at us and said something about Lithuania and Poland :D So were happy like just kinds at this moment. I also got the plecs from Rudolf [which I cost a bruise on my ribs] and Pawel. I put them in my pocket and praid not to lose it somewhere :D

After the show we wanted to get to the Scorpions hotel which wasn't that easy causei it took 2 hours :D But yes, finally! We got inside. We passed Pawel cause he was going somewhere and he smiled again and greeted us. So, we were looking around and as we were suggested to take some drinks, we orderes something [now, I must say that Germans are really generous lol I oreders vodka and cola and got a glass over half full of vodka :O really, it would be a suicide to drink it]. There we met some people [i say again, I will mention everybody in the end :P] but our aim was to get to the band. In fact, we took some photos when they were leaving. Klaus and Rudolf gave us some time so almost all of us took photos of them though a bodyguard or whoever he was strictly sait that we shouldn't talk, but only take photos, quickly ;| bleee. Then Matthias came, he seemed to be more tired and in a hurry so we didn't want to disturb him too much. And James......yeeeeaah, James lol lol lol It was a difficult and exhausting evening most for him :D He didn't mind taking photos so we used it and maybe some photos aren't really good but are just great keepsakes :D
Then we went to the hotel, it was about 5am. One hour later we went to our beds but due to Gianluca's inexhaustible energy it took some time to fall asleep. When we woke up on the next...ok, let's say, later :D

Now, I want to thank all of you for these days full of Scorpions. I had the time of my life and even during my lectures I'm smiling like and idiot when I'm thinking about it all [Gianluca, yes, and idiot means when somebody is not nice ;) ]
So:
Ruta: aaaaaah, I think I don't need to say too much, like at the station on Saturday when we hugged maybe 10 times :D it was a great pleasure to spend this time together, I sensed you were a kindred spirit just when you said you love broccoli :D
Adrian: ok, I know, here no broccoli, but still I had a great time talking to you and I'm waiting for you in Poland this April
Gianluca: you could not talk so much at 6am :D but it was great to meet you and thank you for your presents for us ;)
Dasha, Mirko, Marco, Irene, Salvatore, Zaira, Georgia, Francesco, Rafael, Sarah, Niko, Antonio and Oscar, Toshiko, Sachiko, David, Lars

Once again, a great thank you to you, guys!

i think it's time for me to write a review.....short or long....i'll see at the end :D
.....i'd like to pay Ruta to write a review for me :P ......but i decided to save that money for the next shows :lol: :lol:

i arrived thursday (18th) at midday,then after one hour by metro finally i reached my hotel where there i met Ruta and Marta.togheter we took a walk (1 hour and half.....thank you Ruta :P ) to the center of the city.
Few minutes to visit come christmas markets and we went to the signing session.
There i met my italian crazy gang, that saved some places for us to avoid to stay at the end of the cue (sorry,we're italians :lol: :lol: ) .once there my friends gave me a special present for "the event", a black t-shirt with in front side the words, HAMBURG - 19.11.2010......and rear side, A NIGHT TO REMEMBER - 32.
I was totally surprised,that i couldn't believe it,it was amazing!!!! I had to hug everyone there for that beautiful present, and....there was an italian girl who was for the first time with us, and she told me she couldn't believe how strong could be the friendship with the others FOSERS .......magic of the Scorpions music :D
We waited for Scorpions and then slowly we started to be near the moment of the meeting with them.
Finally it was my time…..firstly Pavel……I gave him that t-shirt to let him sign it, and when I explained the story of my 32nd birthday in the day of my 32°nd scorpions show.He wrote “happy birthday” on the t-shirt,signed it, and hold my hand. then Rudolf………he signed it…..and when I met Klaus and Matthias they were surprised to see me in the north of Germany :DDD ………so I explained to them why I was there, Klaus told me, I’ll wish u happy birthday tomorrow, and Matthias……tomorrow first row,ok?
When I was in front of James….i hd to explain nothing to him….cause Matthias already told him everything, and James hold my hand and told me something as “you rock”……
So……t-shirt with all their signatures and wishes too :DDD
Then I waited for my friends and togheter we went to the entrance of the “Saturn Market” and took pictures to the new Rudolf’s car……I must sy it’s great, I want it :DDDD
We left Marta and Ruta…..and Sarh and her Father, and we go back to out hotel where we changed , met Gianluca,and togheter we went back to the center to meet again with Ruta,Marta,Sarah and her father……..
We went in a pub to drink something, and to “celebrate” my b-day…….so, few seconds before midnight, Sarah’s father started the countdown, and at midnight all my friends there started to sing happy birthday for me………when …….two Japanese girls who were in another room, came out.
They asked us if it someone were celebrating b-day, so they decided to sing and play a piano for me…….the singer was great…..the piano player….not so good…..but I loved that moment, one more surprise for me!!!!
Oh……and Sarah and her father took me a present for me,tasty Danish chocolate…….i really like it!!!!!!
After this crazy day-night….we decided to go back to the hotel……we need to recharge energy for the show……
End first part……
I'M PROUD THAT I'VE BEEN.......I'M......AND I'LL BE FOREVER YOUR FAN
YOU'RE THE BEST IN THE WORLD FOR EVERYTHING, THANKS FOR ALL YOU GAVE ME IN ALL THIS YEARS......FOREVER IN MY HEART AND IN MY LIFE

ok, here the 2° part.....
enjoy it.....if you don't fall asleep :lol: :lol: :lol:

19th November….the day of the show……and my b-day…… ok, I think u’ll get bored to read it so often :DDD
Me and Italian/Spanish gang decided to take a walk to the center in the morning…..and big surprise…..whil we were walking, we met Rudolf and Tanja, he just salute us but he cannot stop with us, but it’s been cool to see him walking in the street….we usually see him onlye on stage and in the hotel 
At 13 me and some of Italian fans decided to leave the center and to go to the Arena,but before we met with Ruta and Marta to our hotel.Two more suprises…….Ruta gave me her present (Lithuanian chocolate) I love it!!!!! And Marta a Polish vodka……..it’s so strong for me…..but I like it!!!!!
Once to the arena we met some French fans and 3 more Italian fans (we didn’t know them), we talked few minutes to them, and then we went to a small bar to have lunch (it was 15.30), then we return to the arena.
While we were there came Victoria, and we can talk a bit in Italian/English (your Italian is very good)…….talked and sing all togheter, and made some noise  … (once again, sorry we’re Italians  )waiting to go inside.
Finally after some hours spent to the cold…..we can enter in to the arena….and get our first row.
It’s a pity some of us cannot be all togheter,someone had sitting places ticket,someone standing places tickets…….but, we can’t always get what we want……..anyway I was in good company next to Victoria 
I’ll skip to talk about the concert, Gianluca did it perfectly……..i just can only say that……
The band was in a great mood, Klaus voice was perfect and powerful……… I can only add about the show and my personal time there.There were 2 special moments…….during acoustic session James looked at me, and smiled to me, happy to see me in first row……..and second……but mainly for me……at the end of the show when band is on stage to salute , Klaus looked at me and told me “happy birthday” …….well, it’s been a touching moment for me………thanks, I’ll never forget it.
After the show……we met with Claudi…..finally after so many years!!!!!! And another big surprise , she gave me as present an awesome bangle made by herself, with beads with the colours of german flag and the word Scorpions in the middle…………my niece want is too……Claudi, can you help me? 
We decided to go to the Scorpions hotel, but, not all fans of our gang could go there,some of them had the flight in the morning to go back in Italy……..so after 1 hour to find a metro station (we lost somewhere )we had to say goodbye to them.
So the final team in the Scorpions hotel was…..me , Ruta, Marta, Mirko and Gianluca. ……once there we went to the party inside the hotel and there we met David……..Toshiko and her husband, and Claudi,Frank and a their friend.
We spent time to talk till they had to leave……….and we waited for Scorpions to take some pictures.Pavel alredy left when we arrived there,…….so…….Klaus came……and when he saw me, he came to me, hold my hand and wished me happy birthday once again (another moment to remember) then Rudolf (I took a blackout pic with him)Matthias….just few second to stay with us, and James…..(i took a pic with him)……
At 3.30 am…..it was time to go back to the hotel…….and I think I touched my bed almost at 5.00!!!!!
20th November
Last day to visit the city………me,with Ruta and Marta decided to take last tour of the city,visiting the port, St.Pauli (red light district) and Beatles square……then I went with them to the bus station and it’s been so sad to say goodbye to them……..
Then I met with Italian/Spanish gang , and once I saw them again…….and after I thought about all magic days spent togheter…….i started to cry……..i couldn’t believe it….but was crying just like a baby, my friends were a bit worried cause they didn’t understand why I was crying, then they felt better when I told them I was crying for happiness…….i was just……overloaded of emotions …….. 
So togheter with them i took a last tour of the city, having dinner in an Italian restaurant (Vapiano’s the name) and finished the night drinking last beer all togheter in a very nice pub near our hotel.
In the morning we went to the airport to go back at home…..after 4 beautiful and unforgettable days…….
Irene, Marco,Salvatore,Zaira,Georgia,Francesco,Mirko,Rafael,Gianluca……..my dear crazy italian gang, i really have no word sto say thank u, you’re great,I love u!!!!
Oskar and Antonio……muchas gracias para todos, nos vemos en Barcelona en Febraio

Claudi and Frank….finally we met!!!!! It’s been a great pleasure to meet u personally,hope to see u soon again……you’re so talented to make that bangles!!!!
Victoria, it’s been a pleasure to meet you again, and to sing togheter in the first row,hope to do it again soon ;) ciao bella!!!! 

Dear dear Adriano !!!! I am speechless :cry: I could sense all your emotions in there and I lived them through with you. It was really a treat to all of us here that you wrote such a long review with all the happy and touching moments in it. Thank you :D

It was such a special concert, incredible, 32nd birthday and 32nd Scorpions concert. That can happen only once in your lifetime. And, you certainly deserved all the love and attention from the others fans and the band, I am really happy for you !!! :P

Thanks everyone for the reviews, and Hans for the pictures and videos. The quality is awesome! So, you didn't mention this, how did you like being at the seats place?

Hans wrote:Because I am not everyday in the Saturn, I thought it would be a good opportunity to look for some cds. My son completed his Avantasia collection and I bought some “nice price” cds, albums I had only on vinyl and not on cd.

Oh, I know, I know what you bought. Probably the album that looks like that

Btw I must say that both times I've found the sound in Germany really good. It can't be even compared to the sound at the concerts in Greece. For example in Athens I understood they started "Dynamite" because of watching Rudolf's hands and see what he was playing. (!) lol. But indeed, it depends on where you're standing too, seating place is always worse.

Adrian, what can I say.. your review is really touching, I am happy you experienced those unforgettable moments in Hamburg. And I also want to thank you very much for the messages you sent me from there! It's funny how it can make you so happy, that friends remember you. I hope to see you again soon.. :D
