I have ended up on the tour blog after all :)
Bratislava, August 12th 2007.
That picture has been posted by Rob under the name Anticipation. T minus 15 minutes. My face is blurry and I look ridiculous of course but that is definitely my hand hanging over the rail because I recognize Sonja by my side and I can tell I've been talking as usual in that very moment.

ah ah, notice how many GIRLS are at the front! It's not lust is it?
Oh, Milla, one would say you’re politically incorrect:) That is somewhat discriminating to all the guys coming to NIИ concerts, don't you think? I would say the reason for the feminine first row is because boys are such gentlemen that they let the girls take the best places :) Sounds good to me!
You’re not asking me why I’m in the first row, are you? :)))
haha that's awesome! nice meeting you in prague! didn't see you after the show though.. did you enjoy yourself? i think it was CRAZY! clearly the best concert ever in europe (I've been to haha) take care!!
Oh, good god, you’ve found me! That’s absolutely fantastic because I was so stupid to wait with you for so long and not to ask how to contact you afterwards. I’m bringing it to your knowledge that: 1) you’re bookmarked and 2) I intend to use some of the pictures you’ve taken in Prague (I pointed that out already but I was stupid enough not to take a picture of Sonja either). If you mind any of the above mentioned just let me know although I’m quite sure that you won’t…mind, that is :))
After the show I did waited one cigarette time outside the venue hoping to see a familiar face but I was dead tired so I either had to sit on the ground (when I spend a long time upright my back starts to hurt terribly) or go back to my hotel. I chose the hotel; I was completely out of energy. It was hard for me to walk the some 200 m to my room!; as if my combat boots were made of lead-I wanted to take them off and walk barefooted. The next morning I read the message Sonja had sent me: “Are you alive?” and it gave some idea of how it has been like for you during the concert. The next day I met 2 other Spiralers and their first question was: How did you survive? Well, I didn’t. After the barricade moved I spent 2-3 more songs trying to avoid all the arms and fists waving around me. I didn’t mind the pushing and being brought almost to suffocation because of all the pressure coming from each side; however I couldn’t bear the thought that pretty soon one of those elbows around my head was going to hit me in the eyes and blind me. So when “Me, I’m not” started and the crowd kind of cooled off a little bit I left my first row place I’d waited for over 8 hours in hot sun and cold rain and went to the end of the hall ‘cause there was no other free space left. I felt really fucked up. At lest I could cry freely during “Hurt” (it was dark; no one cared)-I hadn’t planned it but that was what happened which surprised me…after all I have listened to that song thousands of times literally and yet it happened again…Anyway, to sum it up-every second was worth it! I have the best of memories thanks to you and your friends. I’m really happy to know you and if there’s another Stockholm show I’m not missing it!
Take care!
