Creative overflow

I am surprising myself at the moment, finishing at least two layouts and one card per day...not sure why, but I am also not complaining. For one thing - it does get my {{ Rock Album }} finished quicker, right?

The first page is not all that great but I just don't have too much good "supporting" stuff for the very first concert I ever attended...the band was (at the time) Europe's youngest Rockband ever, with an average age of 13 (bless) and I was so in love with {{ Uwe Schneider }}, the guitarist *swoon*.

Their first ever concert in Hamburg was one day before my 15th birthday and my mom bought the ticket as a birthday present...only thing though, she came with me. Now, really that was not a bad thing because I was so hysterical that I would have never found my way back home without parental guidance *giggles*

Anyhoo, we had tickets for the last row, so my pictures didn't turn out that great - you can hardly see anything, even with a magnifying glass...but enter: Super-Mom. She took my camera, went as far to the front as possible and was intercepted by a security guy about row 10:

"Sorry Ma'am, you can't go any further"
"I only want to take ONE close up picture for my hysterical daughter - it's her birthday tomorrow, you know"
"Sorry, if you do not have ticket for the front, you cannot go here"
"Well, I am not interested in the music or interested in staying there. I would just appreciate taking ONE picture"
"Sorry, no can do - orders"

So, all my Mom could do was get a picture from row 10, under the security guys watchful eye - but at least I don't need a magnifying glass to see the guys :)

And then - there is Pantera. Oh how I loved those Dudes and saw them quite a few times. I will talk more about them when I scrap about the other gigs :).
