Someone maybe perhaps got a ticket for sale for cologne...

This time the show in cologne was damn pretty quickly sold out..i think already in august if i'm right.

Cologne has been the most visited place for celebrating nma for me, because i once lived there for more than 12 years and my hometown is not that far from cologne. I not quite sure if it was the 25th anniversary show or the 30th, where they played two days in a row, for which i only got one ticket, but i went there anyways and was pretty sure that i will get one. And so i talked to a lot of people, asked nicely and then almost begging and i could talk somebody out of the gig to sell me his card for a little bit too much of a price, but for me it was worth it and for him it was also worth to make this deal, a win win...

Once i went directly after cologne to amsterdam and found that venue and area there very pleasing and beautiful and had a very good time traveling and meeting fans on the train. So when cologne was sold out i just thought i go then to amsterdam and i'm fine with that.

But if anyone here would have a ticket for sale for cologne for me i would love do do that journey again...

Sorry, I don't have a ticket to spare - but will keep my fingers crossed for you to find one.

I'm so looking forward to Saturday - this time of year is not the same without an NMA show, is it? 

We won't make it to any others due to pet commitments - Cologne is a MUST, though.

I love seeing all the familiar faces (not only in Cologne, mind), even though I never really say high...

Be sure to get your ticket for next year's show in Cologne - they are already on sale.

Thanks Stephanie for your kind words and wishes!
I won't be disappointed if i don't get a ticket for cologne, it would be a bonus but since i will see NMA in Amsterdam i'm fine with that.
And btw let me ask you, if you are the Stephanie i worked with in Hürth or Ossendorf and who took that fabulous picture of the Raw Melody Man Album?
Anyway i hope you have a fantastic evening on Saturday!

[Stephanie]

Glad that you will be happy either way - I used to love coming to Amsterdam as well - but we just can't leave our dogs alone for such a long time. It's all good 

No, I have never worked in Hürth or Ossendorf - I did work in the Rheinauhafen in Cologone for a short while in the 90s but I dreally don't think we have met - other than crossing paths at an NMA show.

Have a great time in Amsterdam!

Ah ok, i remenber that you're the Stephanie with the dogs and pets and i think a big nice grundstück...you posted something about it here..but you know trying to remember;-)
So then i worked with another Steff ...and one day we talked about NMA or i think it was me again talking a lot about my favourite Band and then she said "I shot the photo on the cover of Raw Melody Man" and i couldn't believe it. What a coincidence.

I just hope my train connections will work out and will arrive in time on the sunday..don't care about gettin back

Yes, that's me - you have a great memory 

Train connections can be tricky, I do try to avoid public transport - but sometimes there is just no other way - so good luck!
