Blind Ego @ Ballroom, Hamburg

I just got back from an awesome concert - best of the albums Mirror and Numb, plus Someone Else. The final song was an Iron Maiden cover I think, but since I don't recall any of the lyrics I can't search for it.

Now, what's really sad about it, is this: There were around 30 people attending. With a ticket price of less than 12€ the band are not exactly making a fortune performing live. I guess we should be glad that they're doing it for fun anyway.

Some random facts: Half of Sylvan were present in the audience. They're friends with RPWL I guess.
I need to listen to their stuff one of these days. They're supposed to be real good too.

I spotted several interesting T-Shirts. Blind Ego ones of course, but also a Dream Theater one, a Steven Wilson - Insurgentes one, and a 2006 Arriving Somewhere Porcupine Tree tour shirt ... I still can't get over the fact that I spent my birthday that year trashing my kite instead of seeing them live. Well. I didn't know them back then ... but anyway ... ):

note to self

- Sylvan
- Dream Theater
- Magnum

Amazon.de ist eben doch nicht immer am günstigsten ...

Da ich ja bekanntermaßen ziemlich faul bin, habe ich mich dazu entschlossen, mir einen Vileda Wischmop mit Eimer zuzulegen, weil Wischen damit einfach einfacher ist.

Ich hab also einen Stiel, 2 Wischmöpse (?) und einen Eimer (allerdings nicht Original Vileda) gekauft.

Bei Amazon zu haben für ca. 24.36€.
Im Bauhaus eben habe ich für alles zusammen 6.92€ bezahlt (:

Könnte allerdings auch damit zusammenhängen, dass die nette Dame an der Kasse glaubte, das wäre ein Gesamt-Set, und deshalb *nur* den Eimer durchgezogen hat ...

Also ...

In other news, chdk finally seems to be available for my digicam model, so I'm going to give it a try.

[edit] Grah. chdk can currently only be run from SD cards sized 4GB or smaller. So I can't use my 8GB (micro) SD card. The only other one I have is the 32MB card that came with the camera, but I don't have a card reader for that one, so I can't install it on that one either.
Guess I need to shop for a smaller SD card first |:
