Lisbon Through a Mobile

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us(April 5th 2007, 21:30)

The Concert of Scissor Sisters...

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us...was a whole lot of fun. It was a pity they didn't play my favorite song from the second album - The Other Side - and one of its most funromantic songs - Might Tell You Tonight. Ana Matronic said the Coliseu dos Recreios de Lisboa was the most beautiful venue where Scissor Sisters had played in Europe. She also said it was as if we all were inside a great spaceship. The first time I was in Coliseu I also had the same impression: we are inside a gigantic spaceship!

One of the maddest moments during the event was when Jake Shears climbed to the second balcony (on the left in the picture) singing all the time.

The band was enthusiastic and the music was great.

Helsinkki is like Madrid, so if you haven’t been to Madrid, here it is how it looks like. (Be carefull, though, that the people from Madrid and Helsinkki's are not the same.). Helsinkki is a city in Finland and Finland is not a province of Estonia (just to be sure that no doubts remain or arise or...).
