Refugee
Arrived yesterday (Monday), two days before BA1, and there were already 70 people in line. The first fans arrived Sunday night, three days before the first gig.
Things are really chill. Our group of 20 fans is taking shifts so we don´t have to stay in line for the entire 48 hours. Flavia (Niamh Siourse) is doing a great job organizing everything. She is supercool, too, and has a thick Irish accent, hahaha.
Numbers haven´t been given out, yet, but the line leaders have name lists from all the different groups in the queue. It´s now 11am here, about 30 hours before the gates open, and there are now about 300 people in line.
Media are everywhere, lots of camera crews and newspaper reporters interviewing the fans. Our group got its photo on the front page of the local La Plata paper, featuring Marty from Holland and Flavia. It´s quite an event.
I´m back at my hotel now after spending the night there, scheduled to return at 1am tonight and remain until the gates open for the mad sprint inside.
For BA2, the plan is to use the same name lists somehow, so we should be able to upgrade our position a bit, unless hundreds of fans who didn´t attend the first show will already start lining up while we´re inside.
Weather is decent, warm and sunny during the day, cool and clear at night. Our camping place is on a busy, noisy street, but it´s relatively quite at night. The stadium is gleaming, the roof is brand new, and some people are wondering how good or bad the sound will be, since this will be the first big concert at this venue since the roof was installed.
Joe O´Herlihy is probably having a good old time right now hahaha.
