Just got back from my trip from Newcastle!
I had a great experience going by ferry, i only advice people to take travel pills just in case, i had to use a couple.

Sunday evening was Katie's concert, I took my bigger camera with me hidden in my bag with lots of stuff above it.
When i walked in the building, people were checking but i just walked next to them en walked away,
so it was really relaxed. My seat was not too great,but at least i saw the screens really good this time!
Andrea started at 8pm, she was really good,she was again better then in Amsterdam.  When she was finished,
she went to the merchandise stand, so i thought now i can go. So i went there, and there were already some people
waiting. Then Andrea came, i already bought her single but i forgot to bring it with me to Newcastle.
So i bought another one,and it was cheap 3 pounds! Cheaper then in Amsterdam.
She signed the single for me and my brother made 2 pics with her. And gues what? One photo my eyes are closed
and andres is looking nice and the other photo Andrea's eyes are closed and i look ok. My brother said well i knew
but i thought she shouldnt be bothered with you anymore. well thanks a lot huh! now i have 2 half good pics.
I hope someone is good in photoshopping. I had a short chat with her,she was really nice,and was amazed that it
was my third time that i saw her and katie this year,and i said ofcourse that she was great again and wanted to ask
her when her cd is coming out? Well someone in front of me was faster haha,so i already heard it and said cant wait
to buy your cd in march


Well after that i went back to my seat, and waited till 9 pm. Katie came and started with piece by piece following all
the songs she did the shows before,and also no spiders web.
The band and katie were great, and the sound in the arena as well, the only bad thing was:

What a crap audience, i was the only one with my brother who was singing along and clapping and moving.
The rest were sitting their like dead people.. That was really a shame but now i definetly know that if i can go to a
katie concert i want standing places.

After the concert, i went with my brother on the right side of the arena to the parking spaces, their was also a gate
were the tourbusses were standing.. We waited for about 45 minutes,every now and then people came but no katie.
When i just got to the gate their was a lucky girl who gave a man a noteblock and came back with it and it was signed
by katie. so that was nice. We waited until 11:15 and we saw a car near the tourbusses and i thought i saw katie and
other people. And it was katie! We waited, and the car was coming our way, we thought if we dont move she cant go
anywhere haha!
Then a man from the arena said katie will sign your stuff at the other side of the car,so we walked to the other side,
a window openend. And we all got our stuff signed,she wrote my name right  We were only with 5 people there including
me and my brother. I tried to make pictures but didnt work,so i said sorry i will flash onces,she smiled.
So i do have evidence of katie in the car haha

Well we were lucky again, no photo this time but hey this is more that i thought we could get. so im very happy
It was a great long weekend,a great concert, and i can recomend everyone to go to Newcastle! Great city with very
nice people,great history and modern buildings and art.
