Tag Os til Jeres Hjerter

soundcheck:

that was the first time we meet them. we were excited but kept our distance, tried to play cool. tho our hearts was jumping like crazy.

kaare said hi, talked with us. and then mikkel, he must be able to walk without sound. he suddenly stood next to us. haha. we shook hands then.

jascha, observed from afar. i called him and he gave me That look. omg i was so scared that i wanna slap my own face for calling him.

but then we managed to take some pics and had a little conversation with the band.. and promised them to take the first row in front of the stage.


the show:

due to lack of promotion (the EO put the banner on the streets only 4 days before the show!), lots of potential audience missed this event. and bandung itself, was known as a city with unpredictable audience. no one can predict whether they would give warm applause...or gave cold response.

the second one, that was what happened. the first song played was without your love, a new up tempo song from the new album. and people just sat down quietly there. away from the stage! only few people stood next to the stage.

i thought, omg this is not good. this must be any bands' nitemare, where people giving cold response. i hopelessly looked at the audience behind me and mumbling...get uuuppp you all. what the hell are you doing, sitting at the back?? you are watching a concert,  not attending an exam in a class! behave like ones 😂

the band, who i was worried the most. that was not good. i could feel their mood. i could see jascha's getting nervous. but thankfully, everything turned out good as soon as they played their well known hits..started with the actor... and all went well. i noticed their glance on us couple of times. the show became..more lively, people danced n sing.


the backstage:

why backstage? idk why. perhaps because of the picture that our friend sent. he told us that he met the band at the backstage. oohh we wanted that too!!

and there we were. we met them again (and again and again and agaain and always, in the future. haha).

i talked with kaare, while my friends were with jascha and mikkel. i told him that i was the one who made a cartoon about him. and he just stared like that and said, fidi you have such a weird mind dont you know?? i choked. hahahhahaha. seriously. whyyyyyy. lol.

and we showed them our article collections. each of us had one, and it's a very thick one. when i showed my articles to kaare, he focused on that. reading it in silence. kinda scared me, i felt like in a classroom with my teacher. hahhahha.

so i left him and asked for jascha's autograph.. i had so manny questions but suddenly lost my voice. i was too nervous, tho he didnt give me That look again..hahaha. i mean, he just smiled nicely. so i smiled back n thanked him, and talked with mikkel.

it's always easy to talk with mikkel. i cant remember the details, but quite a lot i think. and then i sat beside the bass player, ida. she sat alone watching us. she contributed in tmtyh album, so i asked for her autograph too.

and suddenly, suddenly i heard someone shout.

you know my house???!!!!!

uh-oh. i'm dead.

the thing is, it was 2005. yahoo was popular, and when you typed jascha-mikkel-kaare on search engine, the result would only show 5-10 pages. i read them all.

and i found kaare's address. and i kept that together with my articles bundle.

i never thought i would ever meet them in persons, that they would see those collections. i forgot to remove the print out.

busted.

all eyes were on kaare shocking face. now i can laugh at it, but that moment was not funny at all. i thought i was gonna be kicked out that room. mikkel and ida laughed like.. idk just laughed. jascha and styver laughed a lot too (okay this is so surprising, i thought They were the one who's gonna kick me out that room). and three of them talked in danish. i asked ida what they were saying, but she kept laughing. and mikkel, i think i scared him out until now.. hahaha. really i didnt mean to. but i understand, i was acting like a crazy stalker i guess.


tho i didnt intentionally looked for his address. i was just browsing for news about them, and found it just like that. ofcourse i printed it. what else would i do? lesson i learnt from that, i never put My home address on the internet...never. haha.

but all is well. styver reminded us that we should start taking pics coz the journalists were waiting outside for interview with the band. and we thought.. wooohooo.. it was cool. i mean, they met the band After us. they were the ones waiting outside. crazy huh.

i finally got my pen back from jascha since he forgot to handed it back to me, and i asked mikkel to sign my cd once again since the one i got before (with silver tint) was kinda wipped out. mikkel grabbed our poster and making pose. kaare, still a bit shaken and mumbling.. haha. the rest of us were looking at mikkel, and tried to figure out our place next to the background wall, since he just didnt move. he was 100% ready for photo session! haha.

styver took our pics couple of times, great ones, using my pocket camera and cellphone.

and then, time to say good bye. they hugged us.. and suddenly jascha kissed my friend's cheek. two of us spontaneously gasps and shout whoooooohh 😂 i thought we needed to drag her home using ambulance since she were shocked. hahahhaha.

but thank God it wasnt a good bye. it was an I-see-you-again.

...and sometimes I wonder was it just a dream... Scandinavia-MLTR.
