There was no review. I posted it by mistake as it came on my feed and I loved it so much that I brought it here. A minute later I realized it was an old picture but by then many peeps commented on it and deleting it outright would've created only more confusion on the thread. I added a comment instead. In short - my bad! (as my DS would say). But in reality - it is such a great picture that I am not THAT sorry Haha, when it popped up yesterday I took a split second to wonder if I had posted it because I only have like 5 pictures of Adam on my computer and that is one of them because it was my QAL concert. I was just looking at it this week because I was changing my avi so I also knew immediately where it was from but the answer was already there. I too look at the thread(s) backwards so when I post I usually right click on the quote button and open up a new tab. Make my comment but don't post until I reload the thread and see if someone else got there first. I usually wind up abandoning half of them because someone already has or even more likely I just think better of it lol. What a good idea Jablea. I'm often way behind in the thread and hesitant to comment in case my comment has become redundant. And Nica575, I'm also not sorry you posted that pic. It brought back fond memories of my one QAL live experience. I also hear Adam say "spit" in that video.

And then another one! Do you know that expression that your body can travel by plane or train, but your soul always travels by horse? That's how I have been feeling these days. Somehow a bit of my soul is still in Cologne and will take some time to catch up. This is going to be a long one I think (sorry) because I am still figuring out how I am feeling while writing this.
I arrived into Amsterdam in the early afternoon, with the content feeling that I was in the same city as Adam again. I dropped my luggage off at work (I work close to Central Station), which was very weird. Two words colliding in my head. I tried to find some fellow Atopians, but everybody was delayed, so I had a nice cup of tea on my own, with virtual Atop as my company. And headed off to the Ziggo Dome early. Then the concert jitters began again. I took some photographs of the people waiting in the snow, half of me very envious of them and half very relieved that I didn't have to be in that line.
I got in right when doors opened, 6.30 PM sharp, and immediately walked up to see the curtain. Surreal! The same stage that I had been at just a day ago, but now in my home town. That's the moment my brain went into full Adam mode. I finally found Lilly and I was so very happy, but I couldn't concentrate on anything but the fact that YES Adam was in the same building as I was (sorry Lilly! we really need to get a shot at that party another time!!). The overload just continued when my real life friend (who got my spare ticket) called that she had arrived and we both went to our seats. Another world again. And this was all in the Ziggo Dome, where I have been quite a few times, my own ground, but now with Queen & Adam. More clashes in my head.
And then it started! Adam on the curtain again! I had a great great seat, with a perfect view of the venue. Adam came out and killed it. And I watched the crowd respond and I was so proud. My (initially sceptic) friend was giggling, singing and enjoying the heck out of the show. I felt really content. But I didn't get swept up and lost. Yesterday, I wasn't a participant, I was a spectator. It did give me the opportunity to remember to film Save Me and WWLTF (yes! you will get it, but I have to figure out how to upload it. The quality isn't the best, because I wanted to watch Adam so I just put the camera on my knee, but you can see the effect from the glitter ball from above). I switched on a stream at a random moment, I knew I didn't have enough battery to do the whole show, but wanted to catch the end. Couldn't really see what was happening, whether there was another stream or whether it was even working, because twitter wouldn't load and the view count on my starting screen stayed at 0. But I just kept it on, put my phone down and stared jealously down to the people who got to touch Adam during Radio Gaga and who had the freedom to dance. This is most definitely the last time that I am not going to be on the floor for a show.
During CLTCL a man fell down from the row above us, an elderly gentleman. He seemed to be allright (as he said himself) but it took a while before security got him up again and he seemed to be a bit groggy so they escorted him out. So I missed CLTCL and the 'new boy' applause. The people around me finally stood up for the encore. Adam was a glittery king again, he did some magical things to WATC and then all of a sudden it was over. I found myself with my friend, and Lilly suddenly appeared too. I tried my best to have a coherent conversation, but there were too many other things in my head. Trying to save the stream (failed...), finding some of my twitter friends. And failed at everything. Decided to just head home, after one more drink. And then in that random cafe I suddenly found the Cologne Queen clan and the world started to get whole again. I got amazingly drunk with them, charged my phone and was inundated with tweets and thank yous, so to my surprise the stream had worked. And I learned that it was a good moment too, as another stream had cut off just before. I literally had no idea.
After a rough journey home on the train I found myself walking home in the dark in the middle of the night, Save Me and WWLTF on my headphones. Then finally something in me let go. I felt the magic for the first time that day, hours after the concert. Tears, and shivers, and the realisation that thankfully I am going to do this again. Once more.
