Bird Condo Queen

I am so excited and endlessly happy for you guys!   Good luck to you all with getting tickets! 

The Paradise Tour sub-section is closed, that's why I'm posting it here!

 

It was announced on August 25th that Lana is going to perform at Citibank Hall, in Rio de Janeiro, on November 10th! It will complete the Brazilian tour along with the shows in São Paulo (November 9th) and Belo Horizonte (November 7th).

 

Tickets go on sale on August 29th, the highest price is R$450 (which equals about $187 or 140€). The venue holds about 8,400 people.

 

Come over, @@Sun Valley King, @@Bird Condo Queen, @, @@paradise, @@James Dean!

I really like Florence too much! She is cute and.. wow, such a beautiful voice! Ceremonials is my favorite, I love Shake it Out and Never Let Me Go. Also, I love All This and Heaven Too. Does anyone else like this song? 

I know it's been a long time since these shows, but I always wanted to do this and I was busy with my last year at high school so I had no time for that   Just excuses... but now that Im doing nothing I can finally make Lanaboards know about my extraordinary experiences with Lana.
 
 
- TURIN, May 2nd: All by myself, I decided to go to Turin (I live 250kms far from it) in my little car. I left at 10pm and I arrived around midnight. I'm at the Forum, two boys were sleeping and I decided to settle there too. After like 10 minutes I realize I left my ticket at home  (yeah, shoot me). So, desperate, sad and very mad I went back in my car and slept until 8am. At that time 14 people were outside the forum. I was number 15 (I could have been 3  but who cares). Suddenly I asked if somebody had an extra ticket for me and a guy sold me one cause his friend couldnt make it   I cant tell you how happy I was. So, now that everything went back to normal I started having conversations and knowing people. It was really nice... talking about Lana and nothing else. I felt at home, I felt I belonged there. Sweet feelings. But then, more people started to arrive and the chaos began. Because of the numbers of the line of course   But at 6pm after a really hot day, sweaty and looking like a tramp, doors opened. Heaven's gates opened. We ran till the front row and I was there, in the middle of the front row, waiting for my beauty queen. I was so happy omg  The forum is almost sold out (just the part that was open cause it was like for 18.000 attendance and some were closed) and Kassidy start playing. I never listened to them before and Im really enjoying them and their music. It was really nice. Then they finished. Panic.  In a few minutes Lana is out. The curtain's off and music start playing (I watched every single video of the tour on yt so it was no surprise but I was like it was the first time, well it was tbh  ) and then she starts singing from behind, omg I love so much when she does that with her voice, like opera. Then Cola starts. Omfg here we are. I'll make you  see the 40 second video I made, it's hilarious Im like dying. She comes out, in a white sundress (that then I realized it was the same as the one in Ride video) beautiful, omg how beautiful. In the real life she's even more handsome, she's perfect. Im like crying and shouting like a beast during the whole show. She performed MDM for like the last time, God it was so good. I really felt desperation with Blue Velvet(?), dunno why. And Carmen? Fuck when the chorus starts the drums are so heavy omg I can still feel them it's amazing. Body Electric was an orgasm  Oh I forgot: during Cola, you know she came down to us, and I grab her hand (got the video of that too   ) It was like an angel touched me. Felt like a virgin, touched for the very first time    Then it's almost the end of the show, and National Anthem starts. So good live cause I dont like the BTD version but live I loved that. At the end of it she came down and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA she came to me and I tried to make a photo with her but it failed. She went away and then when she noticed I didnt make it she came back took my camera and did the photo herself. What a gentle soul, golden heart lady. It was over. My stomach was like deformed because of the huge pression of people behind me. I puked in the forum toilet. Who cares... back home. It was already saturday night.

- MILAN, sunday 5th: Me and two guys I met in Turin decided to go Milan on sunday evening (the show is on tuesday 7th  ) so I took my little car again and went to Milan (this time 70 kms from my place) I arrived at the forum and there were the boys I knew and two new girls, I was number 5 yay! We spent the night outside the forum, we laughed so hard, we were drunk and high  and talking about Lana and playing stupid games and it was so much fun. In the morning, monday morning, ten guys joined us and we really got along and created like a "team". Monday it was all ours. Again weed, vodka, sigarettes, games, Lana, music... Omg here I really felt happiness. It was so good. ahah could sounds immature but I loved that and I would live all my life like that. Just with less alcohol maybe and not a big fan of it. So, we spent the night like that, someone slept. I didnt. It was tuesday. THE DAY   Lots of people started arriving (the forum 12.000 people was almost sold out). 6pm gates are about to open. Im almost fainting because of the excitement. They Open. Running was so good. The show starts, Kassidy play. Lana's about to come out. Cola. THERE SHE IS. In orange dress, so beautiful (but I prefered her in Turin). Highlights: BTD I was like shocked, again Carmen so beautiful and then NA. Then, She comes to come I dont know what to say, im like dying and these words came out "oh youre so beautiful" she made a face like this   and told me "youre so sweet". Then, with my phone this time, I try to take a photo and I KISS HER CHEEK. So soft omg. She also signed my cd. Everything I want I have now. Show's over, very sad about not seeing Lana and the people I met again, or at least soon.
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
These were the best days of my life, I will never forget how I felt, so happy and free and at home. Hope you enjoy my silly story   
 
 
 
 
Oh, the shame video:

Getting in some work before the weekend, Lana Del Rey shot scenes for a music video on Friday (June 28) in Chatsworth, CA. The sultry songstress had several wardrobe changes throughout the shoot, including a firey red bra and panty set with a dollar bill hanging out from the underwire.

Other clothing choices were more demure, especially as the 27-year-old hopped in to an old blue convertible in a long, flowing white dress. 

Enjoy the pictures of Lana Del Rey shooting a music video in Chatsworth, CA (June 28).
 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 
UPDATE: Confirmation that the project is the previously hyped Tropico short film.
 

June 13th
---------------------------------------------
 
I woke up at around 5am and quickly ran to the bus to capital city (Riga). When we've got there, we buyed flowers for Lana and did our glasses (we attached flowers to them). At around 1pm we we're at the airport (althrought Lana Del Rey would arrive at 3:00pm or 5:05pm). While waiting for the airplane to arrive, we we're talking with people we have just met and I can say - they are sooooo cool! Well, It was 3:00pm and the people from Minsk airplane starting to get out. Everyone came out, but not her. We we're contiuning to wait till 5:05 (so 2 more hours). New people started gathering around and It was about 4:50pm, when the airplane got delayed for another 30 minutes (so It had to arrive at 5:35pm). We contiuned to wait, then I went to see the board (that says all the airplane data) and it said; Arrived 5:27. I quickly ran to get the nearest place to the exit of C Terminals and we started to wait. People from Minsk already we're starting to get out and everyone got super excited. Flight attendants walked out and we asked them; "Lana was on your plane?" and they said; "Yes". That got us even more excited, until (of course!) police member came out and said; "Who are you waiting for?", We said: "Lana Del Rey", and she answered; "Umm... Well. Why are you waiting here? She's going through VIP Terminals?" This is the moment when we quickly packed all our bags and ran outside to find VIP Terminals. They were about 5 minutes run away from us, so we just ran there. We got there and just waited there for her. Police was standing there, so me and my friends decided we'll go quickly back and see, maybe police just fooled us. So, we quickly ran back to VIP Terminals and we saw semicircle and someone was in it. So, we ran quickly in it and guess what - LANA DEL REY WAS THERE! She wore blue jeans, white shirt. I got just autograph (When she signed it, she said; " Make sure it doesn't smash!". Also, I gave her flowers and she were supper happy. After that, she drove to her hotel, so we decided we won't trouble her anymore... at least for that day.
 
June 14th
---------------------------------------------
 
We drove to Arena Riga (where was the hotel held) at around 11am. We saw about 20 people already at C Enternace, so we decided we'll look at different enternaces. No one was at A Enternace (althrough it was for press or something), so we grabbed our spots at B Enternace! We spent about 8 hours waiting for concert and we met new friends again. We walked to nearby shop. 
When it was about 30 minutes to 7pm (when doors we're supposed to open), a lot of people we're around B Enternace too, but we we're first in line, so we didn't have to worry about that stuff. I talked with a guy from Lithuania, that showed me selfie with him and Lana, I was happy for him, althrough I wanted one myself. So, guards got their places and it was about 7pm. Doors we're still closed. After about 10 minutes, we started screaming and doors finally opened! We quickly showed our bags (security check) and tickets and ran inside the arena as quickly as possible, until (of course again) we saw everyone standing near enternace to the standing area. It was covered with curtains and we couldn't get in. Security was standing in our fucking way. I'm sorry, but the security we're totally fucked up. Someone was pulling and pushing from back and the middle security guard was PUSHING US BACK. We waited for about 40 minutes, before we could be let into the actual area. I was standing near a guard, that was really nice - he talked to us and explained, that he dosen't knows, what really is happening, and why we can't get in. After we pulled in so hard, they finally started letting in and I saw people just "flying" inside the area, so I asked 2 guards to push me in - AND THEY DID SO! I was so happy, that they tried to push me in, as I told them I wote for about 8 hours waiting outside the arena. No one could run inside arena, because security guards we're everywhere. So, My friend got in faster than me and she got me front row place. 
When we got in, even the curtains looked so amazing and I was super excited (well, everyone was). Opening night was Iiris. Well, she was amazing! Some people just didn't like her performance, althrought I'm really in all those acoustic performances, so it was amazing. After she went off the stage, we had to wait for more 30 minutes. Nothing happened... Quickly lights turned off and curtain fell down. Everyone started screaming, It got really crazy. The show started... I can't even describe how amazing she is. She was pointing to me with her fingers and looking at me, and just smiling. I will never forget those moments. She never got down to the left side, until (again, lol) the last song. National Anthem started and at middle of the song, she just walked down to the left side, I totally got out of control. She was just 50 centimeters away from me. I got out my iPhone and turned front camera. She were singing and she just walked past few people, signed about 2. So, i wasn't really hoping for anything and I got nothing... Just kidding! She turned around to place painting on the stage (one girl gave her it) and then she noticed me. She took a photo with me and I gave her Latvia flag. She was smiling and I asked her for a hug. She hugged me and kissed me on cheek! I was really about to cry, because all these emotions... I mean, it's LANA DEL REY. As she walked back to the right side, my friend took a selfie with her from my phone. She hugged and kissed me on cheek again, and said that he loves me! I will never forget that night...
 
June 15th
---------------------------------------------
 
Last day of Lana Del Rey in Riga. We drove to the airport at about 11pm. Three girls we're nearby her hotel, so they told us, that she's riding to the airport! She told us the car code - "MG-34", so we we're waiting for car with that number nearby normal airport enternace. I screamed; " OMFG, IT'S HERE... RUUUUUUN! ", so we ran to the VIP Terminals. I saw some people there, I was like; " LANA IS COMMING!!!!". They we're like; " Omfgg, Finally!!! Omg, omg!! ". So we talked a bit with lana. My friend asked, if she remembers her. Lana said; "Yeah, I do! And I remember you *Lana points to me* too!" and I was like; "omggg, she remembers me!!" So, I finally took a normal photo with her and hugged her. We asked, if she will come to Latvia again. She said; "Yes, definately". 
 
 
---------------------------------------------
 
So, this is my experience. I really loved that a celebrity like this actually came to a small country like Latvia and even said, that she will come back. It feels really amazing.
 
Oh, Lana said her best friend is from Latvia during concert!!
 
2 videos of me & Lana 
 
I'm the one with Latvian Flag
http://youtu.be/_RqcZzcy6bE?t=1m35s
  My friend is taking photo with her, so after we tell her, that we love her and she hugs us both! http://youtu.be/xg8aKoOnung?t=12s

So if someone wants to delete this it's fine, I just wanted to tell my tour experience, show you guys the photos and tell how things were here. My intention is not to get anyone upset or anything and I'm sorry if someone will be. I'm also sorry if my English is not perfect, it's not my strongest language hope you still get my point. This is really long so my apologies about that
 
 
So we got in the venue around 6 AM in the morning, there was 7 people before me and my two friends. We got numbers (there was this number system that got to be chaos later, let me explain) 8, 9 and 10. I was number 9. We were so happy about it. We had only slept for an hour but we were so happy, just repeating 'we will get to the front row' to each other. Then we sat down to wait about 15 hours. Weather was nice then, it wasn't warm but it wasn't cold neither. People started to arrive and get numbers and scatter around the venue. We thought it was okay if people were closer the doors than we were because we had the key to everything: numbers. People were nice and we could leave the venue to walk around because of the number system.
 
Then about 1 PM 2 attendants (is that a right word ) came and people started to run. My friend asked me 'Should we go or what' and I just said 'Yes' packed our stuff and ran there. I saw that person who was there first talking to those two attendants with couple others that were before us. We went closer thinking what is going on here. When they explained them the number system the attendants looked at each other and laughed. Then they said 'It's not our problem'. That's when I got super nervous and started to get worried. People that got there half an hour ago were way before us. Then they finally made a proper fence lines (that weren't there at 6 AM) and it started to rain. It was terrible because we didn't have umbrellas, literally nothing. Our clothes were wet and then it started to get ice cold windy. We watched how those two attendants were inside looking at us, laughing in their warm clothes. We asked is there anything, a shed, something we could go. No, we had to wait till 18.30 PM I can honestly say those were my short, 16 year old lifes most terrible 5 and half hours. I couldn't take it. It was hard to accept that we weren't making it to the front row but the rain, wet clothes and I was shaking.
 
Time moved so, so slow. We tried to listen Paradise edition but it just didn't make the clock move faster. One girl asked the attendants 'Can we use the bathroom, in every consert that I've been they have open the bathroom's, what about tonight?' and the attendant laughed a bit and said 'Not tonight'. I was fine but some people were not. We couldn't leave anywhere because there wasn't any number system anymore. Another girl asked 'I know many people asked this but why didn't the number system work?' and they just said it's not their problem. I was in Gaga's show last year and there was a number system too that worked perfectly, I wasn't suspicious at all, I thought they knew about it and I was furious because they just laughed. Then it just was too much to me, I was too stressed. The rain, being so cold and the fact we were far away from the doors. It was too much to me so yes, I started to cry. I tried to stop but I couldn't. I hided my face so the others wouldn't think I'm ridicilous and started to shake even more. I didn't want to give up, I just said to myself I have to stand there.
 
About 4 PM the attendants came to us asking 'Do you have the number's' and we were like 'Yes, yes!!' hoping something good was about to happen. Then they asked us to move to other line and we just got more far away and I couldn't believe it. We were even more far away. They started to make a new line and I asked my friend 'What are they doing' and she just said watching at them 'I hope finally something smart'. Then they said to us that the first one's get to be in that line   happiness overload I repeated. We got there (There was about 20-25 people) and they build a fence around us so no one else would sneak out there. We were so happy in that moment I can't even explain, it was still 3 hours to go but it didn't matter. Rain stopped but wind was still terrible, it was ice cold. We dreamed about sauna and junk food in that moment since be hadn't ate that much that day.
 
When I looked at other people they looked like they would like to kill me. I said 'this is so wrong and I hate it but I feel satisfaction when I see this view'. We were like a VIP - line, peple asked why we were there and just ugh, I felt bad and good at the same time We got inside before other's (just a little but still) and I couldn't run, I tried to but I couldn't feel my legs or my arms. Then there was a line again and people behind us started to run (I don't know what was the point? My friend was already there and we said that we wouldn't run or push anyone and we knew who was which number) so I had to run Immediately someone said 'Don't run!' and I slowed down. We lined there half an hour but it was inside and it was warm, slowly I started to feel my legs again. After half an hour they opened the door and people started to run downstairs. We saw the stage already and I walked fast because they told us not to run but the girls behing us ran and took our spot at the middle We got to be in the front row anyway, it was unbelievable. I had made a book to her and it included an elephant and heart - shaped necklace. In the ribbon I had wrote 'HAPPY B-DAY' and I hoped I could give it to her. My hands were pretty much full: KISS ME HARD BEFORE YOU GO? - shield and a poster (that was wet because the rain went into my bag also), a marker and my camera.
 
We waited about an hour and then the opening act came, he was Kari Tapiiri. Hadn't heard about him before, but Lana had picked him. He is Finnish too. He played guitar and sang. Unfortunately many people said that he sucked out loud, complained that they were falling asleep I was embarrased about it. Why? It was only half an hour, he was ok and Lana picked him. And even if someone didn't like him, why did they have to say it out loud and booed to him? Come on.
Then finally, after everything Lana came. People started to scream like crazy and I cried (all the time. I couldn't believe the person I've seen in pictures, listened to her music for so long, she was next to me. Unreal it was) and we sang so loud Lana had to say 'Turn that down and turn me up' or something like that. She couldn't hear her voice. I've been in many concert's but I've never seen or heard that kind of thing. I was proud to be Finnish, I was! She said that 'This is our last show and I can't think a better place to end it than here' and 'Your energy is amazing'. She also said 'Hope to see you again soon' I've seen video's about her taking photo's with the crowd and so on but she seemed more confined. There was this man that knew when she was coming down and stopped her almost. I loved, loved every song and I hoped that it could've last forever. She was so beautiful. When she came down again I took my book and tried to get her notice it. Girl beside me said 'She's got to have that' and when she started to get back I reached out my hand and people started to push me like crazy getting their hands as close as they could. She noticed me, she had to evade the hands that she could get to me. My heart beated fast, teardrops on my face, looking at her like then she gave me this cutest smile ever and said 'thank you' and I started shaking and crying. Then she moved on and I was like 'She got it. She got it. She got it'. I couldn't believe that. That moment was one of the happiest moments of my life. I even touched her (silken, I promise it was like silk) hand that was so soft and her amazing dress. I touched it too! Oh my god my heart is beating fast when I write this. In National Anthem she came again but went the other way. She came to us also but said only 'Hi, thanks for coming'. It was okay, but she had signed and took photos with the others
 
But she got my book! She sang so good I swear like an angel. When she left offstage the band kept playing, Byron Thomas came played and smiling and Blake played the guitar and I was feeling amazing and sad at the same time. I heard someone made a shield that said 'Can you meet me after the show?' and she said 'I try'. She was busy and left but she left a few things signed to her like that special edition that costs so much and a book (I don't know what book, lyric book?). We were really tired and went to buy merchandise. I bought a signed litograph that was 80 euros, it is 18/200. Then I bought a couple other things too. Thank you so much Lana for the best night of my life and I hope you'll be back, miss you already! I would stand another 15 hours in pouring rain to be there again. After the show Finnish magazines claim that the screaming came from a recored tape and the singing too. They say that we spelled the words too good and too loud and it was like Justin Bieber's concert and 'it couldn't be so'. Also they claimed that Lana sang from a tape but oh well, we know what's real and what's not. She got a platium record here for Born To Die and design clothes made for her. I just hope she got my book and will read it! I hope she didn't forget it onstage... It's a blue book if you see it in any videos/photos, I'm so nervous about it! Right now I just enjoy warm bed and green tea, water and photos. I'm still so tired. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Long post I know!

So me and my best friend Leah have been obsessing Lana for over a good year, we've been waiting for the chance to see her live for ages but we've never had the luck or chance. Until the tour was announced, we got two standing tickets as soon as they were available back in November for the first London show and we vowed back then that we would be first in line.
 
And so on May 19th, we set off at 2am for the Hammersmith Apollo, I live fairly close so it wasn't a hard journey. We arrived, first in line as we expected and got ready for the long wait. By the time it reached 6pm and people were starting to get ready to move (doors opened at 7pm) we were knackered but excited. The door staff had already told us that knew how long we'd been there and told us a treat was on the way.
 
About 20 minutes later Rob and a woman who I presume to be Lana's assistant came out with about 20 signed Paradise - Special Editions and 1 lyric booklet. Leah managed to grab the lyric booklet and I got a copy of the special edition. We were so grateful and nearly sobbed there and then.
 
 
 
 
Then doors open and panic and chaos happens, people running and shoving to get to the front. Luckily we managed a front row position slightly to the right but a perfect view.
 
 
 
 
Kassidy came on, did their thing which I have to say I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would. At the end of their set Barrie threw his guitar pick onto the front of the stage and I managed to get one of the security to give it to me. I wonder if he washed his hands before he touched it..
 
Then it was time for Lana! We screamed like absolute mentalists, which you'll be able to hear in the videos I post below. She was so so so good, words can't describe, we were shocked by her beauty, couldn't keep our eyes off her.
 
Favourites during the show were probably Ride, Born To Die, Summertime Sadness, Young & Beautiful, National Anthem, Video Games and Without You.
 
Ride, SS, Y&B and Without You had me crying, apparently I was on the big screen at one point..
 
And then during Video Games, something amazing happened. We decided to hold up our "Can We Have A Photo Please? <3" sign to see if we could get Lana's attention and we did! She saw it and winked at us!
 
You can see the wink here in this guy's video at 2:59 -
 

 
Then during National Anthem she came down as usual, interacted with the crowd and then finally got to us.
 
The conversation was something like this:
 
Us: Can we have a photo please?!
Lana: Sure!
Us: Can someone else take it..?
Lana: I'll take it!
*Lana takes phone, stands next to us and takes 3 selfies.*
Us: Thank you so much! We love you! We've been here since 2am waiting!
Lana: I know! I heard about you guys, thank you so much! I love you! *Hugs and kisses us.*
Us: Thank you! And thank you for the signed stuff earlier!
Lana: Oh you got them! Good! I'm glad!
 
And then she went, to the next person. We just stood there in absolute shock, not knowing what to do. But it happened! We finally did it after all that waiting!

Video Talking To Lana - You Can't Hear Or See Much But It Happened! I Think My Phone Went Into Her Sleeve... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151371526811946&set=vb.715991945&type=3&theater

Her and Barrie 

so pretty ... SO PRETTY 
 

 
all the women standing so far ... TIWMUG  
 
 vs
 
2012 vs 2013 ... 2012 still better, but that was probably her best ever. at least she knows how to dress properly for cannes, and not wear like fucking smocks from the geriatric section at chanel lol

I think I'd title it Hawaiian Tropic just because I obsess over that title.
 
"St. Tropez" "Paradise" "Motel 6" "My Best Days" "Butterflies" "Serial Killer" "Last Girl on Earth" "Live or Die" "Ghetto Baby" "Go Go Dancer" "Damn You" "Hollywood's Dead"

So once we'd met Lana, we ran back to our spot in the queue, shaking and early in tears. We decided to go back not only because we needed to make sure our spot was safe, but Lana was still meeting fans and we'd had our turn! Once we got into the venue, WE GOT THE BARRIER!
 
So I've never had the barrier at a concert before, which is why it's a big deal, but I felt so much more calm about seeing Lana now that we'd met her, and once Kassidy had performed and Cola started, she walked down the front and she held my friends hand for a second or two. We kept on getting completely crushed, and the people behind me in the GA were absolutely mental (literally jumping on my back and shoulders and clawing at Lana whenever she was anywhere near us) but it was so worth it. Regardless of meeting Lana and being at the barrier (although it definitely makes the experience better), the show is phenomenal. If you compare her vocals of last night to that SNL performance (or any earlier performance where her vocals aren't 100%), it's almost like she's a different singer. I don't recall hearing one single flaw through the whole night.
 
I'm almost certain that each time she looked over at where we were and smiled, she was making eye contact with me, because when she came round at national anthem at the end, she smiled really enthusiastically and said 'Hi!' to me, right into my eyes (still not got over that yet) and I asked for a picture and she got next to me and her cheek was pressed right against mine, and I don't know if it was a curse or a blessing that my camera was being slow because she stayed next to me for a few seconds until my camera finally took the picture. Luckily, this photo is a lot nicer than the hot mess taken earlier! Although Lana looks amazing in both, I'm happier with my barrier picture.
 

 
I am so so lucky! I would recommend you go to the tour if you have the chance, if not for the chance of meeting Lana then just because it's an amazing show. The vocals are on point, the band is AMAZING (I spoke to one of the guys in the band after the show and he said that they had worked really really hard for months and months) and therefore even just the instrumentals are perfect too. I would've met Lana after the show again but there were loads and loads of people, so I would've just had a glimpse of her, and I think I'm lucky enough to have had 2 encounters anyway. I hope you enjoy my pics! Please ask if you want to use any or want me to upload more, but here are my favourites. (I did get a beautiful derp)
 
 
 

I love this shoot too    
 
 
I really LOVE this one
 
 
 
 
 
 
And this one... Is just SO BEAUTIFUL 
 

 
I really love her hair like that! 

I listened to her 4 albums and it seemed like nothing now, my obsession has been renewed

I don't really know how to write this thread but I'll give it a try anyway:
 
PARADISE TOUR- GENEVA 05.01.2013

 
  I didn't really know what to think when I woke up yesterday morning, I was kind of afraid of what I was going to find once I stepped in Gevena ( I have never been there and I went alone). I took my first train at 8 o'clock and arrived at 12:00 there ( you take two hours with a car but I had to wait a lot at the railroad station : / ). I knew the arena was next to the airport but I had no idea how we did to get there. After running a lot I finally arrived at 12:20 at the place I'd see the beautiful Goddess later that same day . There were already around 25 people waiting there, it was not as bad as I thought it would be tbh.
 
  I had 6 hours and a half of waiting and I didn't take anything with me, so I only had food and my money ( forgot my phone's charger so I couldn't listen to music a lot). I talked to this girl and this boy a little but that was all. We didn't know at what time they would put the barriers so when I went to the bathroom I run for my life. The security finally put it at 5:30 and there were 9 people in front of me ( there were lots of doors). I almost fought with this Portuguese woman who had gotten in front of me but that only arrived 3 hours after me. When we started going in at 6:45 that bitch slowed me down because she started talking to the security woman, I wanted to kill her tbh.
 
  I run for my life again and when I got there the front was already full but I able to find a place on the right side where there were not a lot of people. I was finally able to push myself between the people and the barrier was the only thing in front of me I talked to this girl and it was cool.
 
  Kassidy started playing at 20:00 and it was really amazing, I didn't know the lyrics ( only some choruses) but danced and tried to sing anyway ( the songs are kind of repetitive so it is easy to pick up the lyrics). The crowd was SO boring. Seriously, I know it is the opening act but you don't go to a concert just to watch it. You go to sing, dance and have fun. When Chris was not singing I waved to him and threw one of the copies of my letter, it fell down outside. He said he was going to ask the security guard to give it to him but he forgot ( the guard gave it to me later). I am really getting into them.
 
 Lana came at 21:00. I though I wwas going to cry when I saw her but it felt so normal to see her, I could imagine myself drinking some coffee with her lol. I didn't scream a lot because I was so in awe with her beauty She started with Cola like always and went down to talk to the fans but didn't come to my side . I didn't really like this performance because the melody was a bit higher than her voice It was still good though. Here are the songs she played ( in no particular order, I don't remember it anyway):
- Cola
-Body Eletric ( The best one tbh, I died )
-Blue Jeans
-Born To Die
-Carmen(I understood must of what she said in Spanish, the music was too loud.She speaks well)
-Million Dollar Man
-Knockin On Heaven's Door
-Summertime Sadness
-Without You
-Lolita
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
lol just kidding, I wish
-Burning Desire ( there was this fan and she sang "wind in my hair" in front of it. Amazing And her dress went up She had some shorts on though :creyney:
-American
-Ride ( I am proud I was able to say 70% of the monologue, people thought I was crazy though lol)
-Blue Velvet ( REALLY good performance)
-Video Games
-National Anthem
That's it. No Y&B, no G&M ( my fave off Paradise )
 
She didn't seem to be shy and said sometimes that how she was thankful we were all there and how she got to see all the fans singing along.
 
She got down in the beginning and came to my side. I was able to take a pic with her but we both lot awkard so it will never see the light of the day hahahahahah Her face could be a smiley I guess, she is singing and her eyes are half closed ( don't even ask for it lol). I also gave her one of my letters.
 
She came down in the end after National Anthem and when she passed in front of me I called her and she had the biggest smile ever, my heart actually melt We took another pic ( the basic bitches around me were soooo jelly) ( and she didn't realise it was the second pic hhahaha). I wanted to hug her but I don't think she got it so I kissed both of her cheeks ( OMG I STILL CAN'T BELEIVE IT). And gave her the last letter ( it's sure she will read it now). She thought it was for her to sign so she started but then she realised it was a letter, it was so cute . I don't want any autographs because I travel a lot and I would so lose a piece of paper. I got two pics and the memory that will stay with me for the rest of my life .
  Some fans had made flower crowns and she got one. She left the stage wearing it, she looked amazing.
  About the crowd now. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU WAIT ALL DAY IN THE LINE IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE LYRICS AND IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO STAY THERE WITHOUT EVEN MOVING AND JUST LOOKING AT LANA LIKE A BASIC BITCH. It got me so mad seriously, I just hope not all Europeans are like this, the people were so boring, they didn't move at all, they just cared about filming it. Lana and Kassidy said we were amazing ( oh, and Hamish is just so hot) but that was only because they have never gone to Brazil, we are wild ). So, if you go to her concert, give all you have, seriously.
  We can see the tour doesn't have a really big budget but it is all about Lana for me. just  having seen and sung along with her made my life ( btw, those basic bitches only knew the lyrics to VG, BTD and SS. And you know how she changes the songs when she sings live? Well, nobody apart me knew it apparently so they couldn't even follow her hahahahah). I sang the whole time.
 
  When we left the place I just had to buy myself a huge coca cola, I didn't drink a lot of water because I was scared of going to the bathroom and losing my place. It is not really worth buying the marchandise, it is just soooo expensive and not very beautiful ( except for the book, but I didn't buy it anyway, what will I do with it lol.).
  I went to my hotel ( it was in France though) and after one hour I found it, it was in the middle of nowhere lol. The next day I came back to Geneva and took a train home. Geneva is a beautiful city so go there if you can, I know I will for sure!!!
 Lana is VERY beautiful, that is all folks!
 
Some pics:

This is just so flawless. Love the whole shoot.

I am major FATM fan and All This and Heaven Too is my favorite song!!!!!!! This song is sooooo underrated, I love it to death.

I am in tears.
 
There's no way I could ever thank you enough. I can't believe she'll read what I wrote her and that she'll finally know how much she means to me. I read everything and words can't express how happy I am for you, for me and for the fellow forum members for having the opportunity to read such a beautiful story.

...

I laugh so hard with this interview everytime I see it. They make fun of her during 13 minutes and she just has a laugh with it and is kind to the suppose journalist. Adele is just hilarious. For sure Adele has the best laugh ever.

All This and Heaven Too surprised me when I read the lyric, such a poetry! *---* Just perfect.
