I just got home, and I'm going to write it down now, 'cause if I do it in the morning I'll already have forgotten everyhing...

They started almost an hour too late, but it didn't matter. Unfortunately I cannot give you a tracklist 'cause I don't know the titles of the songs, exept "TV Song", I loved it!!! We'd listened to the CD before we went and decided to go, but live they're much much better then on CD.

During the concert I decided to call home, and my sister brought me the photo camera, and i took like 6 pictures, 3 of Stef, one of the drummer, one of the other guitar player, and one of the saxophone player, I couldn't get the bass layer on the photo unfortunately (sorry I don't know any names except Stef). During the concert Stef broke a string of his guitar. It wasn't a concert really, it was more a show. Stef was sometimes making jokes, but we couldn't hear him very clear. He danced around a lot (he reminded me of the Red Hot Chili Pepper guy in the Give It Away video film...), and was having fun. At one time, after a song had finished he said: "Boom boom, the lights go out...", but the guy who controlled the lights didn't hear him. A second time: "Boom boom, the lights go out..." No response, everybody laughing, well after the 3rd time the lights went out.

After the concert we saw some people standing besides the podium, we didn't pay attention to them, but at the bar we were thinking, maybe they're trying to get autographs... so we got 2 beer sheets and a pen at the bar and went there too, the band was removing the equipment, we got an autograph of Benjamin (now I remember). Stef was still on the podium, he looked at me, gave a huge smile, but then I just saw Tomas (?) and asked his. After 10 minutes Stef came to us, gave autographs. Ester (my friend) asked if she could have the broken guitar string, so he got it for her... Some dude, asked the drum sticks, and I asked Stef if I could have his plectrum, well he got it out of his pocket and gave it to me (after I'd begged him to graph it). Weird grey plectrum, but I'm very happy with it!!!! (And I'm getting a part of the string).

I was a bit nervous, but Ester asked Stef some things (really clever)...

Ester: When are you going to tour with dEUS in Holland?
Stef: Well, uh, I think around May/April
Ester: And a new album
Stef: Around the same time
Ester: Where will you go in Hoolland, also here?????
Stef: Not really know yet, maybe here, I don't know
Ester+Anne (begging): Please come here
Stef: We'll see
Anne: Have you got an e-mail address (yeah yeah... brains working again..)
Stef: What??? Oh, that Internet thing, uh no....
Anne: Do you know the dEUS list
Stef: (Shit, I don't remember what he said...)
Anne: Can I pass something to all the members of the list
Stef: (thinking)... UH...uh....
Anne: Well nevermind...

Stef's a very sweet guy, a bit shy, but very very sweet, he didn't mind signing stuff, and talking to us at all!!
