hello again, it's you and me
So it's been five years since the Because We Can tour. Five years since that nine-show run I did and eight years since they've been to my country. And here we are, starting all over again as Jon would say. On the verge of a European tour announcement that will include a Dutch show. I feel like it's about three years late and way too early at the same time.
I like to believe that it's going to be a little less dramatic this time around. The posts, the emotions, the amount shows I will be doing... And a little less cringe, too. I left the previous posts up for nostalgic reasons but I highly recommend not scrolling down too far. I look like a twelve year old on those pictures and I had a fringe to go with it. Not to mention the reviews, straight from the heart but incredibly awkward all the same. A lot has changed in my personal life as well. I got a girlfriend, we moved to a different city together, I am a dog mom now.
But even though many things changed in the past five years but I am also still that girl. The girl who even at the mention of a potential European tour suffered three heart-attacks and was instantly willing to sell everything she owns. So I'm gonna do it again. Shows, travel, this blog, all of it. And I will once again keep you up to date on my adventures. Life as a Bon Jovi fan in Europe through my eyes for anyone who is interested in reading about it.
I can't for the life of me say what my tour is going to look like yet. It completely depends on where they will go and when and most importantly on how expensive the tickets will be. Maybe I will end up just doing two shows after all, realistically, it will be more. I've always said I wanna do a Scandinavian one, I definitely don't want to skip Italy or the last show of the tour and everything that is drivable (the Netherlands, Belgium, part of Germany) is a must. But whatever happens, I want to document it. Because it only took these announcement teasers for me to realise that there is still nothing like a Jovi tour. Nothing that can get me this excited, hyped and willing to spent a whole lot of money. I honestly didn't think I would be this stressed anymore but I find myself thinking about nothing else since that first post bij LiveNation Spain popped up on my feed.
I instantly got all excited. And by that I mean I got old-school, worrying excited. Even though I remember saying that the Because We Can tour was going to be my last die-hard 'no sleep, in-what- country-are-we-even-today' tour. I guess I lied, up to a certain point anyway. I guess nobody even believed it.
I think part of me just gave up on the idea all together but instead it looks like it's going to be a massive tour. And I think it is time to admit that I am ready to do it all over again. I don't know what that will look like this time around but I'm ready to go.
Seriously, bring it on.
