I love F1 too, I've been watching it for ... hmm 12 or 13 years. I can totally remember when Damon Hill won the championship and it was in 1996 if I'm right.

I've been Button (along Ferrari which is doing a bit bad lately) fan since his first days and was happy every time he managed to come better than 15th place. I was also always glad to see some small team doing better than usual winning suspects.
same here. when he got into F1 in Williams BMW (with Ralf Schumacher) oh yes!

I blame my elder brother, who always made me to watch every simgle grand prix tongue sticking out smiley

and about Ladytron:
Lucky Croatians, I want a Ladytron show so much, they are coming to Hungary, but to a shitty festival sad smiley booo

Saw Ladytron twice (both times as support for NIN), and honestly it's been enough... I've far more enjoyed the Dresden Dolls as support, Ladytron is far too... monotone... Here's hoping that the 'special guest' mentioned on our tickets will be someone more diverse... Saul Williams, you bastard, you owe me a concert!


I signed up for the final driving test... July 16th - it's a bit tight, but if I make it, we're driving to Budapest.
In the eventuality of me not passing the test, me and Caramell will more than likely go by train, as I won't be borrowing my brother-in-law's car... But let's hope that doesn't happen. I WILL PASS THE DAMN TEST GODDAMNIT!

Of course you'll pass it. If something strange happens and you fail, you're still going with (rented) car. If everyone will come along, why would you two have to be so speshal grinning smiley

Love you all ... tomorrow is second part of SAT: reading and speaking. Today we had writing, listening and grammar, I think I've passed, but I know I've made some errors in conditional clauses. Fuck. Let's hope not the major point.

OK ... keep planning ... keep posting ... I'll keep reading ... kisses

ishtmail don't worry you'll pass, just have a shot of rakija before the test. winking smiley

Cheers Invaders,

So how many of you guys are comming to the Budapest NIN show?
Have reservation in a Hostel? I would recommend to stay around Astoria/Deak square... transportation simply sucks on the Buda side.

and there are quite alot places around Astoria to get dizzy ...

I am based in BP, let me know if you have questions :-)

 

06/23/09 10:25 PM

By my last count:

Perchee
Ishtmail
Caramell
Tinkerbell
Tinkerbell's friend
Ana
Acerchiata
default_me

Is this correct? Is anyone from this list NOT going or did I forget anyone?
If everything is kosher, we should book that hostel. Tinkerbell and her friend both said OK for Alice and OK for an 8-bed dorm.

I've slept with you guys before, why not doing it again?

06/26/09 2:42 AM

sorry to interrupt, but this seemed like the perfect place to share this.
I'm from Belgrade. other than NIN, I'm also a big DM fan. First DM got cancelled and got me depressed. I did see them before but this was supposed to be their first time here.
and now this - I was ready for the budapest NIN show and the friend I was going with had to cancel it - yesterday!!
I'm stuck with on-line reservations for 2 tickets, that are about to expire as we speak, and a possibility that I actually won't see the show (since there seems to be no one else in this town interested to jump in instead of that friend!). It's driving me mad.
sill not giving up, it's the only thing that I was interested in doing this summer.
is anyone around here from belgrade or serbia or knows someone or whatever?

cheers, everyone

 

06/26/09 8:44 PM

Does the person have to be from Belgrade or Serbia or can he/she be anyone? I'm not in touch with the presales, that's why i'm asking.

 

06/27/09 7:44 AM

Milan was great.
More photos later....

06/27/09 8:07 AM

it wasn't the presale, I simply had to reserve the tickets online before it sells out (and the friend's cousin who lives in budapest would picks them up for us). so I would give the other ticket to anyone (or just cancel the reservation), it's just that I would much rather go with someone than go by myself, that's why I asked for fans from here.

good news-looks like I found someone who wants the ticket, so if nothing ELSE goes wrong we're there! to represent this part of ex yu. winking smiley (among the other fellow serbs that I never met)

fellow serbs-fans, that is

NIN at Idroscalo
I just woke up after being extremely disappointed by my ISP not allowing to upload my video onto YouTube. Lots of pictures needs resizing/watermarking but i need to send to Fieldy/Finck ones to the guy that was with us.

Speaking of pictures.. OH LULZ! I never thought i'd make it onto nin.com front page. Then again, blame it on Rob.

irenne - that's awesome! Are you staying over the night or are you returning after the show? If you can, hang around with us after the gig is over. The more the merrier the warmer grinning smiley

Ok, sending those pics now and editing then.

Edit - watermarketing? Wtf, i meant watermarking.

Edit - small selection of pics is in the Milan tour journal.

About Milan- I`m glad you guys had a good time there!Can`t wait for budapest...counting the days...I`m so happy cause i`m going(happier than usual)and everyone around are like "what the hell happened to that girl??!"..Oh well..nevermind..

Just one question for those who were in Milan...What was the set list, if you remember?..just curious.

P.S.the pictures are great!

Edit: just neglect my question.

06/27/09 2:05 PM

we'll be staying for the night, no way I'm going straight back after the show (did that once and slept for two days after coming back). still haven't figured out where we're staying, but that doesn't worry me. what does worry me is that the cousin didn't pick up my tickets yet!
is there an end to this...! sorry about whining, but this turned into agony.
but sure, we should meet up.

 

06/28/09 3:58 PM

Tomorrow I'm going to read through all your posts to understand where this mission "Budapest" has come to. Now just let me cry over pictures ... even with no sound I'm singing in the rain ...
Ana, Perchee ... How many went to Milano "just" for NIN? Any single guy?
Well I've met one yesterday on a train from Zagreb, don't think he's a NIN fan, but that doesn't mean that he can't be.

and yes, in september my permanent address will be in Ljubljana (Tori Amos plays in Switzerland and Austria, but I guess I won't have time to go), in October I move to Sarajevo and start "training brains" again, now all i have to do is work extra hard to clean my desk and archive for a new employee (including permanent delate of my computer NIN files and internet forum entries) and pack my bags and shit load of books.

 

06/29/09 2:34 PM

ACA! <3

At first it appeared only me and ana were hardcore about seeing NIN, but later on a few of people from our bus bought the NIN tees so i suppose they were fans, too. Also, hung out with a person i later found out was the one and only pinocchio, another Slovenian member that every once in a while drops a post or two at ETS and here on nin.com. There were some guys, probably single, too but didn't ask them about their marital status.

Congratulations on exam(s?), ana told me. And.. we wished you were there with us. To hear us bitch and moan about backhurts and feethurts. To see us stalking Robin Finck across the street. To unintentionally ignore Duff McKagan as he stretched himself outside the bus. To eat dry crackers. To deal with "push-the-button" toilets. To take shitload of blurry pictures. To get soaking wet by the storm during the first Mars Volta songs. To either rock your socks with Korn performance with me - or wait with ana for their set to finally end. To get slightly moshpitted during MOTP (honestly, i think the whole place moshpitted during that song. At least it felt like that.). To try to sleep on the bus. To LOL at our 'pleasantly' impatient bus driver.
For all of that, i hope Budapest will make up. You deserve it.

On the side note, i got contacted from another pair of Slovenian fans (well, it appeared she was talking for both of them) who'll be going to the Budapest show. I give her infos about our intents and whatnots. I say, we can consider them as part of our travelplan whether we're traveling together or alone if it comes to that.

Whadayasay? smoking smiley

 

06/29/09 10:20 PM

Perchee: sure, the more the merrier. They should totally register here and drop a few words, to say hi! And if they'd like to come along: well, I can take one more person onboard into my brother-in-law's car, and the rest depends on someone else's vehicular abilities.


I think we should go and book that hostel. Acerchiata, get your ass in here and confirm that you like Alice, that you don't mind an 8-bed dorm, and we'll book the bitch. Oh yeah! Everyone else has so far confirmed their presence and all-around coolness, from what I can see/read.

 

06/30/09 11:41 AM

Don't mind "sleeping" in the 8-bed dorm and ok, I like Alice. Confirmation approved.

 

06/30/09 11:59 AM

Perchee, will you book it or shall I?

 

06/30/09 12:27 PM

Wanna throw a coin? I pick a head, you have the number.

PS - are we booking for 8 or 10 people now? I know there's an 8-bed room and since two have decided to join us..

 

06/30/09 12:40 PM

hi fellow balkanians, anybody planning/considering to go see NIN in Rome? winking smiley

 

06/30/09 4:38 PM

Stop teasing tongue sticking out smiley

On a serious note, for the most part i think we're all set for the Budapest show and due to empty pockets/wallets we're only considering this gig. How much is the ticket and how do you plan to go there (your own/organized transport)?

Speaking of which, coming with us? I know there won't be many Italians there but - hey, it's the last tour "for a while" smoking smiley

this place sucks hairy monkey balls. Whenever I was there I could see nothing, but "we-are-so-alternative" kinda teenagers drinking beer.

Are you planning to stay the night in Budapest and going to one of the afterparties?

Yes and yes. I thought we've talked this over over MSN last week grinning smiley

 

06/30/09 10:07 PM

I can book it today if you wish.

EDIT: oh crap... I just checked the booking site and the 8-bed dorm option is gone. They only have 6-bed dorms left, and the cost is 14 euros per night per person.

So: I'll go ahead and book 6 people right now. Are the 2 new people (making a round 10) for sure? If yes, I'll book another 4 people in the afternoon when I get from work.


EDIT EDIT:
FUCK. We're too late. Alice has no online availability on friday the 24th. A different hostel guys?

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
OK,
Astoria City Hostel which is on the original Perchee's list, is available. They have 8-bed dorms. I can book 10 people in no problem, and they have a 'free cancellation' policy (2-days in advance no cancellation fee) so if anyone changes his/her mind we can cancel that booking...

Is that OK with everyone?

It's just an in idea though tickets are still available and I would love to see NIN one last time. But it's not a cheap proposition: ticket 45E, plane return ticket around 150E (Trst-Rome, train ticket costs almost the same), hotel room 70-150E, depending if one or two nights. Or maybe I should buy an Iphone instead. tongue sticking out smiley
So you guys going to Budapest. And a whole lot of you! Minibus? The idea of joining u sounds really inviting but I suppose it's probably too late and you made your arrangements already. Hmmmm, you can always drop me a pm or something if you need somebody to share gas expenses, drive etc. winking smiley
