shoni Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 And the story begins...That was my first time to use a train in the UK and the subway as well. With some lack of orientation I couldn't catch the planned train. One great factor key of tickets is the fact that you have the chance to catch any train for the specified date. And in the return trip, you have one month to return, if you change your mind by returning in the previous established date. At 12:00 pm I finally got myself inside the train to Edinburgh. It was a 5 hours pleasant trip by the way. I arrived at 5:00pm. A bit late for the queue and meet up before the gig. So any plan of going on stage was by now lost. When I arrived to Edinburgh it was raining, what a reception. A blessed one, some would say in a marriage ceremony context. My mobile phone was almost dead, I had no GPS working, because with low mobile battery, GPS doesn't work. I had to do the check in at the hostel and I felt... lost! Unknown city, alone and without technological resources. I had a map but in that time wasn't much help. Despite all these factors I've found my hostel and made the check in, just though: "Now I can charge my mobile... not". I had no converter for the UK plug. Sometimes it works without it but that wasn't the case. So I had two things on my mind: 1) Find a universal converter 2) Find my way to the gig No converter was found, I've crossed main street (Princes Street) to find my way to the gig. I had a smooth notion of the direction, but I had no idea how much it would take to arrive there. 7:00pm (time of the gig: "I'm sooo late!!!), I grab a cab, he done almost the way I did by walking (a way that I had to go back to catch the cab). Then he turned left and I though "Oh well, I was so near!". He left me at one door where I did see no one, except two keepers. I asked them about the gig, they pointed me the way and I saw a huge queue line (more than 50 people maybe). So I'm not that late. I thought, while I was passing through people: "let me see where are MFCers" (they were already inside). So my conclusion: "Late and I'll have a bad spot to watch the show". That was so wrong and glad to be. The gig space was quite small, maybe would fit there 5000 people or less and I was in second row, so great! At previous gig (In Festival SW TMN, I was in front row, but there was a huger space between me and the stage). I was at left side, in front of Martin. I saw some MFCers but no one to whom I usually wrote to, just later on. I couldn't wear my T-shirt that was made for the gig. Just after the show I could wear it. Anyway I enjoyed the gig a lot, Rain, Kick Ass live, but some of my favorite songs. Any Other World or I see You, weren't present. After the gig there was the Meet & Greet with Mika! The first time was on 11th May, I got my TBWKTM booklet signed but just that. This time, I could deliver him two gifts, one mine with my own message and poem and some messages from other fans. The other gift was from Brazilian fans, a birthday video. I could record the moment and got my T-shirt signed... And spoke with him. For the first time as well, I took a photo with Imma and with other MFCers. Unique moment, unique night, that got so cold at the end. After all but without buying the Tourbook (I only had in my mind the Meet & Greet), I went back to the hostel. There I saw the pics and videos, I felt so excited by living those moments, where we enjoy a show, where we meet people that has the same music taste, where there's a unity of happiness and other emotions. I also took with me the memory of those that weren't present physically as well as those that couldn't be present in my gift for some reason.

In deed editing videos give some work, but after finding the proper software its easier, anyway always take time, specially the frame selection. Most important is sharing so I don't doubt that your video is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
