Yo, Pia, this blog is taking over your life....*heavy sarcasm* Eh, and a concert report....

Well, it's been a while. In fact, it's been years. And what do you have to say for yourself, Pia? Actually, not a lot. I'm on Facebook and stuff, but this whole sharing-everything-with-the-world thing is not very attractive I find. I started this blog with the intention of keeping friends and family in other countries in the loop in an easier and more entertaining way than simple email or actual letters. But often, I don't have much to say that I would be comfortable putting out onto the Interwebz, and so the blog has been hibernating.... Now, let's see how long it will be before my next post. MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

All jokes aside, I guess I could do a wee concert report on Tina Dickow, who played in Tivoli last Friday. I was there with my sis, just the two of us, which was just great. The weather forecast had said 'rain', and seeing as my lovely Storm brolly is broken and in dire need of copious amounts of duct tape, I figured I'd wear the full rain suit (pants, jacket, wellies), because I so did NOT want to get soaked. Of course, we didn't get a drop. And I couldn't take off the trousers, because in order to not roast completely, I'd worn only thin leggings underneath, which were not fit for public wear by any standards. So I roasted, but not too badly. Tivoli was fairly muddy though, so the wellies sure came in handy.


I'd seen Tina in concert a few years ago in Dublin, quite by accident, because she was supporting Cara Dillon in Vicar Street. I'd never heard of her, but could tell from her accent that she was Danish, and her set was a lovely surprise and very good, just her and her guitar. This time around, it was full band, and boy, did they all play up a storm! And oh! The woman can sing! She's very much at home on the stage and has a commanding presence. All in all a truly great experience, and I'd most definitely go and see her again
