I wish you all very merry days, however or whatever you are celebrating!
Some beautiful music, Adam connection? Lee Cherry filmed this.

I have a suggestion for a gift for Adam, Ghost.
It's been mentioned about a note..I love that idea. Adam always says he wants to know more about his fans. Many people thank Adam for being Adam but he doesn't get to know anything about that fan. Could you express perhaps a dream you have for your life to Adam? Are you a lyricist, a poet, an illustrator? A haiku with calligraphy would be cool. A remix you created? You seem very talented. Wrapped in paper distinctive to your country? Or an envelope out of said paper. Adam appreciates thoughtful and representative presentations, I'd guess. Something small so his team could pack it if he so chose to. Many good suggestions. Great topic cause what does one give to someone who has everything?

You have him unzipping the zippers on his shirt! Merry Christmas to me, hahahaha!! Ohhhhh... So those zippers do unzip! At least, that can't be anything else than zippers, right? I see some crying, thinking of Adam, or the Eiffel tower? I must admit, I am fascinated.

Hi everyone. I've lurked for the last few years and was finally drawn into posting by curiosity. I remember all the posts about how popular GT was in the Netherlands so was really surprised it was 1905th - was that just 2015 or ever? I know I'm missing something - sorry for the trouble! (I hope this is readable) Hi Ella - just flipping through the songs (link above) it looks like a cumlative list over many years. "It's time! The entire seventeenth edition of the Top 2000 published and put online. On Friday, December 25th starting at 9:00 pm The Seventeenth Summit 2000. With 187 new arrivals, 15 re-entries and a new number one, John Lennon's "Imagine", this will be a Summit in 2000 to remember." list: www.nporadio2.nl/top2000Hi ella! Welcome!! And although skaschep and graciejane have already answered this I want to chip in too and say that it really is quite remarkable that Ghost Town has entered the top2000. It is a tradition in the Netherlands to vote for this list of 'the 2000 best songs you have ever heard'. It is played as a whole between Christmas and New Year's Eve. The choice of songs is normally very traditional, the top 5 rarely changes and Bohemian Rhapsody almost always wins 'best song ever'. The voting is based on a list that you can choose songs from. Most people just check some songs on that list. You can also write down your own choices, but it is difficult to get one of those 'new' songs into the list without an organized campaign. It really has to be a very popular song. On top of that, they used to have a rule that songs couldn't enter the list if they had been out for less than a year. I almost didn't include Ghost Town because of that rule. So... it really is quite something that Ghost Town is in the list at all!! Next year we might just have to start a campaign to get it higher, and to get WWFM in there as well. Because I really think it should be in there too.

Pentatonix just posted a snapchat picture of their soundcheck. Just in case anybody is interested: it is on ptxsnap (It's today, right, that they are in the same show as Adam?)

Congratz nic!!!!! And yes, I believe that you will be lucky and have a good place with your hubby. And: It is no Punk concert, where you will have to dance Pogo, the audience is a little bit more mature and will make room for a crazy Glambert So this is your second or third QALticket for 2016? Thank you! And I hope they will. Praying for a catwalk again, which means more room at the front. I don't see it in any of the concert set ups, so they might do without this time. I do love myself a good punk gig though, and have been in many a mosh pit too, but not with 15.000 people around me. Yikes. SophieB thanks for reminding me that everything can happen, in Cologne some people that arrived just before doors opened got front row too. There were many more that had been queueing all day (like me), but the queue was at one door and they opened all six doors around the arena at the same time. The people I ended up behind gave me their front row spot though when they heard I'd been there all day. I was so grateful! I will just have faith that everything will be fine, and that I will have a great time no matter what happens. It's my second ticket, but am seriously considering Linz too. Have been thinking that if I take my little tent instead of hotels, I might just be able to squeeze that one in. Crazy? Absolutely! Loving it? Of course!

YES! I have tickets for QAL Brussels! YES!! My husband is coming with me YES!!! He has agreed to be on the floor with me (not ever going to sit somewhere far away at a QAL concert again) BUT there was an option (still is) for a limited number of free early entry for 300 people who live in Belgium and who are customer at a certain bank. And we are not, so we can't . Husband can't (and won't) queue all day, so that would have been the perfect opportunity to be close to the stage together. I must admit to being a bit frustrated, and nervous (already) about being in the middle of that mass of people during the show. Although you never know, when I'm near Adam things have a way of miraculously going exactly right for me, so I might be lucky. Going down memory lane... this is QAL Amsterdam. I am one of the little faces just to the left of Adam's head. twitter.com/rongessel/status/677095727181537280

Yes, we definately should! To which concert(s) are you going? I'll be in Amsterdam, too! And in Cologne! And in Hamburg and in Berlin ... lol! And yes, it would be great to meet up and finally get to know more Atoppers in person and to meet "old" Atop-friends again! Yesss!!!! *in a very nice voice: Q3 , could we get our Europe meetup threads now that the holiday shows are almost finished?
