Vov!! So many wonderful, emotional reviews since yesterday again!

Emilie, thank you for your review.
You told Klaus about you, and Diego, well done my friend.
I am sure that these kinds of love relationships mean alot for the band.
As you know..... - don't wanna be too boring of repeating my self, but - do hope to meet you, and Diego the next year.

Thank you Gabi... Yes, I really believe that he liked to hear this. He had a very big smile and he seemed very happy for us

[Kristof]

Well, there are already so many reviews that I'll try to be short

First of all I just wanted to say thanks to all the people I've met this time! Adrian, the Sunday was great with you I hope you could come back home well.
Ashlie and Brunnhilde, I was so sorry not to speak with you but I couldn't move from the first row
Ron and Philip, it was nice to meet you for the first time!
And all the people of the meet and greet, great too. Curry, when I spoke with you I've changed my mood

The concert was very nice! I was front of Rudolf and it made a lot of time that I hadn't been at this side of the stage and I must say I really enjoyed it. Rudolf was in a great mood!
I was also very surprised when they played in trance I received 2 drumsticks too And Klaus gave me his hand during the concert Then he took the Spanish flag during No one like you, I made it for Diego

I wish I could have met all the others that were there, I hope next time

Thanks for your review!...Pity we didn't meet ,...i was also with my wife at the hotel with Ron,...maybe another time,...

[Kristof]

[Kristof]

Thanks Gianluca for your review as well !And meeting you!..I still remember good how you make all the people ready for a picture at Delirium

first part
i'll start my review......i don't know how long it will be......hope not too boring
Thursday 24th:my travel started thursday morning when i got up at 2 am,to be to Pisa airport at 4.30.my flight should leave at 6.30 but firstly i met a man who never travel by plane,so he asked me everything (it seemed i was the only man at that time to the airport), then he started to talk, and to be honest, at 4.30 i was not so "happy" to talk.....anyway......just the time to be on the plane and the captain said that cause the fog in munich ,the flight will have a delay of 45 minutes.......it meant that i would lose the change in munich for bruxelles.....and i started to get angry.....
arrived at Munich I just had the time to find the gate, and with big surprise it wasn’t close yet,so I could get in the plane, even if my baggage were in the aiport yet,so once in Bruxelles I had to do a complaint to get them to my hotel, and I got them in few hours.
Once in Bruxelles I met with a friend who studies there (Kirthana), had lunch togheter,and then I left her for my hotel cause has had to study.I decided to start my tour for the city,and I visited Atomium.To be honest I liked it,and if I’d be more lucky with the fog,maybe I could see much more better the city from the top of that building (height it’s almost 108 meters).
Just a very fast “jump” in the center to buy some souveniers”and I returned to the hotel,I met there Gianluca,and few minutes later Kirthana,and togheter we went to the center of the city and had dinner togheter.the center of the city by night is very beautiful,and in this pre-christmas time,there were special lights in the main square…..wowowoww!!!!!  There I found out that Belgium chocolate is famous (I didn’t know it), and there were lots of store selling every kind of chocolate, plus beer shops too……
Friday 25th:day started with the thought to the evening….but there were so many hours to spend,so many km to walk, and so many places to visit……so me and Gianluca left the hotel at 10,and we didn’t stop till 15 to have a lunch and a rest…….then we went to Atomium,but only Gianluca visited it, cause for me was enough once . After trying to contact Curry (Kadrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrra ) by mobile phone (there wre some problems with his mobile-phone company),finally we can talk, and we agree to meet not to the hotel,but directly to Delirium.
Me and Gianluca had to wait Kirthana, and togheter went to DC, where firstly we saw a guy ……he seemed he was looking for someone……I looked at him and I said….”Scorpions?” (He was Wilhem) and he told me he was there from many minutes but he found no one,so togheter we search for the others Fosers,when finally I saw Ruta caming in my directions.
She intruced me to the other Fosers who were sitting there,when I heard a voice call my name,and finally I can meet Curry (and she gave me t-shirt who printed for me,very great job!!!),and then I started to talk to all the others (sorry,I prefer to write no names to avoid to forget someone).
It’s been a very great experience, my friend Kirthana is not a Scorpions fan,but when I invited her to this meeting,and I explained her about this “event” she was so excited to be there,and the day after she was so happy to be there with the FOS family
About that evening,I’ll never forget it……it’s been incredible to see people from so many countries (maybe more than 10) just to be there to meet,to talk each others,.I have no idea about how many pictures we took that night there .I must say thank to the Scorpions,and I’m sure they are “proud” of their fans (US ).Another BIG THANK is for Hans,the one who organized this meeting, and thank you to the ones who bring very tasty cakes,I really loved them,I think we should have another meeting just for the cakes DDD
I’m wondering how many fans of other band in the world are so close like a family like the FOSERS……..
…..me, Marta and Gianluca left the DC after midnight,and doing an involuntary tour of the center of the city (I got lost and both were following me….i’ve been good enough that they didn’t realize it…..or maybe Marta DD) we found the hotel.

second part....later or tomorrow.....now i've to meet with friends

second part
Saturday 26th:in the morning i had a breakfast with Kirthana and Gianluca,then i met my crazy italian friends,and Marina, and after a fast lunch we went to the venue of the show (with some problems to find the place), there we met Kristof with his family, and Phillip, and soon many other Fosers came, Ruta a bit late as usual
Before to go inside the arena, Salvatore lead us to sing some song to "warm" the atmosphere, and it sounded very funny.....at least it seemed people around us loved it
Doors opened at 18.30 about, and after a very fast run, i got the first row,right side in front of Klaus.
First band....honestly they were not so bad, problem was the too many sound effects they put on the voice, you can understand no word,i neither know if they were singing in english or french
Before Scorpions came on stage, i can see Ben,and i called him,he went on my side and gave me the post-card,with b-day wishes from the band, that was a very nice surprise to see it directly there.And it's been a great pleasure to meet Ben by person,you really rock!!!!!!
Then Scorpions.......the band was in a perfect mood,Klaus didn't appear as he was sick few days before, his voice was perfect.
Moments i will never forgive are, and i will never stop to say THANK YOU KLAUS:
at the end of Coast to Coast,he threw his plectrum to me,but a guy next to me got it......Klaus looked at him and with his hands, "said" that's not for you, it's for him (me) , i've been lucky that guy finally gave me the plec........
and at the end of the concert (i didn't realize it), Marco came to me and said"hey Adrian did you hear Klaus said your name?" .....i was shocked, and i told him it was impossible.......but when i return to home, and i checked on web......well Marco was right.......and when i think to that moment i can't stop to smile!!!!
there are emotions that i can't explain by words, but......the satisfaction that i got at the end of the concert, when the band look at you, and they recognized to you, they remember your name.......uff.......i think i got everything from this band, i couldn't ask for more.
After the show,before to leave the arena,i can meet some Fosers (once again i'll write no names,but you know who i mean ) and we went to the band hotel.
Situation there was not friendly.....we were "too many" fans, and i didn't feel confortable there.We decided to sit in the bar of the hotel and after few minutes came a guy of the crew and said "sorry guys but Klaus is tired,blah blah blah" .....and we didn't move from the bar.............then he came back and he said "Rudolf and Matthias already left,blah blah blah"........it was a nice way to say,"it would be good if you would leave the hotel".......and finally we did it........and we've been lucky to meet Klaus on the way, and he's been nice, as always to take some time to take pictures with us.
I hope he will get well,cause after the show his voice wasn't very good,come on Klaus!!!!!!

sunday 27th:the day after,in the morning, i came back to the hotel (i didn't believe Rudolf and Matthias left Bruxelles after the show) togheter with Marta and Kadrrrrrrrrrrra ,(sorry Curry ).
we met there David, and Kirthana (she came to say goodbye to me). While we were waiting there came the car driver of the band (I already met him in Basel) and he said that the band already left the hotel ,but not Pawel. Time to say goodbye to Kirthana and Curry,they left before us, and there I met with Emilie (her mom) and Diego, and it was time for me to say goodbye too.
Togheter with them ,I went to the airport,we had two different flight at the same time at the same airport,so we can spend last hours togheter,talking about all our travel/concert/experience.
At Munich airport….i met once again the same man I found on Thursday morning…..and once again I “had” to listen him for 1 hour…..i wanted to escape!!!!!!!!!
Arrived at home at 1….and woke up at 6.30……..”welcome to reality”……….
I would like to say thank you to EVERYONE I met there,that made this Belgium experience one of my best Scorpions experience…….
Special thank to
Ruta and Marta, you’re great!!!!!! ( I already eaten almost all chocolate you bring me)
Kadra, you know, you’ve a beer paid when we’ll meet again
Nadin, it’s ben very nice to meet you and your husband, I tried all my best with Russian language
Italian crazy friends/fans……..can’t wait for another travel all togheter
Marina………we’ll see in Spain or somewhere else on 2012,it’s sure!!!!
Diego and Emilie, once again, thank you for the great time we spent togheter,you’re great!!!!
Kristof and your whole family,thank you for everything,hope to see u soon on 2012,munich?
Ron&Phillip, you really rock my friends “drink like a hurricane”

[Emilie]

Adrian, it was great to spend the Sunday with you. The time was passing faster And we had great talks, too (and a curious meeting )

Can't wait for 2012

[bigphillkelly]

It was great meeting FOS friends at the Delerium Cafe and at the gig - what a great bunch of people!

We had some comedy moments when the doors finaly opened. Our barrier got stuck then we ran down the wrong way inside and ended up upstairs in the seating area. Thankfuly I was stupid enough to jump down and grab a spot at the front for Ashlie & Maureen but the delay meant we missed the very best spot.

One of my best Scorpions gigs and made special with the FOS dedication for In Trance.

Here are some vids I took - hope you enjoy.

Look forward to the next FOS get together! We need to make it happen
