01.02.2025 | Escalation Fest 2025 - Oberhausen

[vale ember]

Yeah I know its just the design as it is on the ticket, I saw your EF cup later, Keule had that cup

[crimson yacht]

Oh yes and you, but it wouldn't surprise if I actually walked past you and didn't realise it was you

[glass drift]

yea, that's the one we got

[crimson yacht]

108

[glass drift]

ah no wait, this is just the other side from yours with the band

nah, we have the regular EF one

[modest bluff]

I was 105 so I wasn't really on your side of the Arena 👀

[glass drift]

yea, those

it's with my gf, i gave mine to @orchid ridge

[round spruce]

I wasn't reallytrying to actively meet new people as I had kind stuff to do 😅

[proud folio]

I found these on the floor
Put them int my bag to return them after the show and got kicked out the venue before I remembered

[mystic vapor]

Two of the EO?

[quaint summit]

I didn't see that one

[crimson yacht]

Yeah what a shame, hopefully always next time

[quaint summit]

No two of EF with Band pic

[modest bluff]

Won't be my last EC concert or EF so there'll be opportunities
I'll make a list of those I couldn't meet to find them in priorities

[mystic vapor]

Damnit I would have offered you my left kidney for the second EO then

[crimson yacht]

Might do that, so I'm not ignorant next time

[orchid ridge]

Ty so much for the cup! Forgot to grab one.

[glass drift]

You're welcome

[orchid ridge]

Happy I was able to get the patches

[fossil zenith]

Bit of a different version...

[mystic vapor]

Not the speed up version

[fossil zenith]

Mo going brrrrrrrrrrrrr

[mystic vapor]

Valid

[junior kite]

Had anyone the vid from the Line where we danced to "remidemmi"? And can send it to me?

[fossil zenith]

. should be @mystic vapor

[quaint summit]

You we're queuing for merch outside?

I was too but i didn't Film it

[fossil zenith]

No, that was before the entrance

[mystic vapor]

Oh yes the problem is it's long so idk if I can post it

[quaint summit]

I thought Mambo Kurt's version

[mystic vapor]

Not possible

[round spruce]

I love that some ppl managed to capture videos of Christian in the pit. I was laughing at it too much so I couldn't take video.

[vale ember]

Could see him in the pit but you can’t see him on my recording because it was too far away. But caught him going back

[placid oriole]

yall should have told me, i bought two EO cups and gifted one to @fossil zenith
(technically it was @void vine s cup but anyways)

[glass drift]

tbh, high chance EO cup will be at the tour in Nov

the other two will be harder/impossible to get again

especially purple EF

[placid oriole]

I can already see the cups being treated like pokemon cards these days

[vale ember]

I think they will still have the purple cup just without the EF and with the tour name instead (if it will get a different name than world tour )

[glass drift]

oh yea, maybe

[vale ember]

Gotta catch 'em all

[placid oriole]

[warm wasp]

Bad Loverz approve

[glass drift]

Bad Loverz was great, too. Loved having Alea with us in the crowd later

[mystic vapor]

Hopefully

[warm wasp]

[mystic vapor]

Whaaaat

hides the fact I just bought my second hypa hypa cup from ebay earlier

[placid oriole]

Oh yeah he was so nice, very good company :>

[mystic vapor]

And I will still buy it

[warm wasp]

he literally stood next to me when i left lol

[glass drift]

i didn't wanna bother him, so we just went for a short 🤘 with him and didn't stop him

lovely pic

[placid oriole]

I needed to know how he made his pants

[glass drift]

yea, thanks for sharing

[mystic vapor]

I just now noticed your name

[placid oriole]

one thing went to another, and then things happend

[mystic vapor]

And then you got pregnant

Wait

Wrong

[placid oriole]

[crimson yacht]

You don't wanna be pregnant

[round spruce]

Haha I was very close to him during one song i think

[placid oriole]

Uhm yeah

[glass drift]

then you might've been close to us

[crimson yacht]

Of course, was nice seeing you yesterday sorry I we didn't get to chat much.

[placid oriole]

Oh its fine

same tho

[round spruce]

I was on the floor for a while after I got back from the flag business so it mustve been either etwt or pumpit. I went to my seat after that but it was the first row behind the drink bar on that side.

[quaint summit]

Exactly. He was standing in Front of me. He was filming a lot during EC. I sang my heart out so i might have ruined his videos

[crimson yacht]

I do so much chatting i run out of things to say

[quaint summit]

What's on your mind?

[glass drift]

yea, definitely close then

i was wearing the white Tekkno cross shirt

[mystic vapor]

How's the weather?

[placid oriole]

I also met brendan in front of the toilets and we had a small chat

[round spruce]

You might have seen me but just did not realise. I was pretty quick when I moved around as I wanted to get to my seat between songs so I wouldn't bother others on that row too much during

[crimson yacht]

This is a subject close to my heart ill be honest it's similar to at home less grey and more sun

[glass drift]

it's fine, just nice knowing

especially since i know you like to avoid getting attention

[placid oriole]

Just went to say hello once mote

[mystic vapor]

[crimson yacht]

Nothing I'm thinking about where I'm going for dinner

[quaint summit]

What are your options

[round spruce]

Me? Sort of but also I wear stuff that grabs people's attention so its like 50/50

[glass drift]

Schrödinger's Ginny

[crimson yacht]

I'm scared incase i go somewhere that's shit. Then I'm crying because the food is crap

[quaint summit]

Ngl the whole weekend still feels like a fever dream. So i need some junk food

[mystic vapor]

I am very happy eating subway rn

[quaint summit]

I didn't spot you yesterday either. Maybe next time then

[crimson yacht]

Its been a good weekend but all back to reality Tuesday 😪

[round spruce]

In general it's probably hard to catch me if you don't know me prior as I haven't shared much pics etc. And I won't seek out the group gatherings but I'm open for meeting people ofc. I just didn't want to promise anything regarding ef as there were so many moving pieces and some scheduled stuff etc.

And you know, some ppl say that I somewhat resemble the profile pic I have here, but it's not helping you to recognise me. 😅

[crimson yacht]

Anyone got recommendation for certain types of food, not sure what we want?

[glass drift]

In Düsseldorf you can eat good Japanese food at the Immermannstraße, there's restaurants like the Takumi chain or Naniwa if you crave some ramen or soba

[placid oriole]

oh yeah this

forgot that youre in Düsseldorf

[glass drift]

Tenten next to Naniwa is great for some macha latte

[crimson yacht]

Thanks for the recommendations. Think we are swinging more towards doner.

[glass drift]

Hm, get a bit away from the main train station and you should be fine i think

[small sentinel]

Back home again with all my fun goodies. Thanks to all of you who I met and had such a great time with - you know who you are I was nervous before going by myself, but I'm literally smiling with tears in my eyes as I'm writing this: it was such an amazing experience to hang out with you all. Thank so much from the bottom of my heart 🫶

[fossil zenith]

🫶 🫶

[warm wasp]

That other sticker

[steep field]

||boobs||

[agile rover]

fits the theme though

[crimson yacht]

We are, well as far as we can be we have gone for a place called taco ranch. Just hope i don't live to regret it

[glass drift]

Fingers crossed, tell me if it was good, tho i'll most likely eat Japanese in Düsseldorf again anyway

[ornate mural]

I filmed it. Thought about posting it only on insta. But maybe I should post the full songs I recorded on YouTube also xD. At least those you can’t hear me sing that well xD

[quaint summit]

It was so nice meeting you

[deep flame]

Ooooh, thank you!!! I was wondering whether anyone got a video of it

No, it isn't far off

finally made it home and got food

[orchid ridge]

Here you go @queen raptor hot off the presses just for you! ⁠@LANDMVRKS live @ Escalation Fest 2025 - Weber Arena Oberhausen Germany
https://youtu.be/-kqitwiM9Zo

[fossil zenith]

And here's the most perfect video of Crawling so far...
😭
https://youtu.be/rEjt96gRXGA?si=mrRrRZjtbqqXYsBy

[quaint summit]

Goosebumps is an understatement

[warm wasp]

i'd love to convince myself that it only happened because i suggested crawling as a cover back then

[quaint summit]

[shrewd robin]

Same

Lets be delulu about it

[somber seal]

I can’t believe I’m back home again now, genuinely yesterday was magical

I still can’t believe it happened

[quaint summit]

It feels so surreal

[tacit cape]

LET'S DO IT AGAIN!

[somber seal]

I WILL BE DOING IT AGAIN ANOTHER TWO TIMES THIS YEAR

Bring on slam dunk and London

[tacit cape]

Same!

NO, 3!

[somber seal]

AYYYYYYYY

[wanton grove]

I have…6 scheduled at the moment

[fossil zenith]

Your cue, @mystic vapor

[queen raptor]

the only reason it happened is because 4 people were incredibly generous to me

[queen raptor]

this means so much to me, thank you

[orchid ridge]

My pleasure. Enjoy

Hot off the presses ⁠​⁠Bad Loverz live @ Escalation Fest 2025 - Oberhausen Germany 2/1/25
https://youtu.be/dWlhB8izXGY

[glass drift]

Damn, thank you Peter

[orchid ridge]

This whole weekend was amazing but hearing a stadium full of Germans singing Bon Jovi ranks pretty high on the memory list

[wanton grove]

She and I (and some other ppl) literally have a spreadsheet keeping track of who will be where 😅

[quaint summit]

I was queuing for wardrobe during that

[orchid ridge]

Nothing scheduled but I am scheming very hard for the month of November

[quaint summit]

Come to Leipzig

[warm wasp]

i'm sorry but when Bad Loverz played Bon Jovi i nearly sang this version and i hate my brain for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWILHcsYVj8

[queen raptor]

i can only have one scheduled, they come to poland once every 2 years

[orchid ridge]

At the very least! Can’t think of a better way to turn 60. Seeds have been planted 🤞

[quaint summit]

This needs to change. David needs to advocate for it.

[quaint summit]

[fossil zenith]

No, to Brazil! 🇧🇷

[quaint summit]

[mystic vapor]

What

[deep flame]

awww, I'm super glad I got to spend some time with you!

[queen raptor]

they can just go to czechia which i think is cheaper for bands to play in, a lot of bands miss poland

[fossil zenith]

The number of EC-concerts people are attending...

[queen raptor]

same here ❤️ thank you for taking care of my mess for me today

[deep flame]

all good, was no bother really

[quaint summit]

I still hope that it'll change. 🤞
You got home safely?

[queen raptor]

yes, i did

you're home too?

[quaint summit]

Glad hearing that. So now I hope you'll get some rest. And some cuddles from your kitties.

[quaint summit]

Yes I am. Gladly no problems with DB

[quaint summit]

It was great meeting you in person

[tacit cape]

not so grumpy Elen

[queen raptor]

that mood is long gone haha but i felt so cheerful during the meet up

[tacit cape]

You were just the cutest Elen I've ever seen

[queen raptor]

i still can't believe i got my two comfort bands on stage together even if just for a small moment

[graceful cargo]

I feel you

Both bands gaves me 2022 so much for my mental health.. and then performed my almost fav song.. mental damage

[wind relic]

As Everything Unfolds goes straight to the playlist. damn they were great

[queen raptor]

i sadly missed them but the two last songs but Charlie sounded amazing, just as good as on the album

[ornate mural]

They really were!

[queen raptor]

also Flo joining EC on stage answered my wish to measure him against Nico

[quaint summit]

So how tall is he now

[queen raptor]

he's smol

[quaint summit]

I already told you that I joined the Flo club

[quaint summit]

[queen raptor]

did you join the simping group you overheard

[quaint summit]

Nah, I just had to experience his presence for myself

[graceful cargo]

His voice range.. I mean Nico has amazing voice range tho but flos voice range imagine

[tacit cape]

@queen raptor I tried my best to have good picture for you (I failed but well, I tried XD)

[queen raptor]

i think Nico is a better clean vocalist than Flo but Flo can just do any type of vocals, clean, harsh or rap

[quaint summit]

@hollow echo

[queen raptor]

look how smol they both are

[quaint summit]

@hollow echo thanks for jumping in literally

[tacit cape]

Btw, I took a photo of an angel XD

Saint-David-Kurwa XD

[quaint summit]

Holy shit talk

[hollow echo]

Thanks to you for pulling me along

[quaint summit]

EC is bringing ppl together.

[lofty yoke]

I had a nice day with my so called “crush” and I technically infodumped her about the EF yesterday

And again there were this memories of yesterday ❤️

[quaint summit]

@queen raptor look at that smile

flo got nicofied

[queen raptor]

Kevin has been working on his lows, i can't remember which song but he went low and i said "damn"

[fossil zenith]

Can't blame him.

[quaint summit]

I mean he just wanna get down

[quaint summit]

[quaint summit]

[crimson yacht]

Cursed

[queen raptor]

it looks so fun on PC

[quaint summit]

This is a meme in itself

[steep field]

[graceful cargo]

true

[quaint summit]

@distant finch I was standing near you i guess. The Plüsch horse looks kinda nice on my pics during hypa hypa (I really mean that )

[whole willow]

Ahhhhhh. All these amazing photos, videos, reels whatever they are called …..ahhhh..
Just confirms.
EC is a fantastic festival band
And an awesome arena band
Gotta see both
Cannot choose one over the other.
Gotta experience both

Aww..now the waiting begins…

[quaint summit]

@distant finch epic

[ornate mural]

My brain is really fried. Cause the first picture. Before opening it. One of the legs did not look like a leg. Not a regular horse leg.

[small sentinel]

Oh my god, cannot unsee now 😂😂😂

[queen raptor]

i watched EO live performance, i didn't notice it live but damn, Nico was just not hitting the notes

happened to him the first time he sang ETWT and ratatata too

[ornate mural]

Heheheh. Sorry

[queen raptor]

he probably needs to get used to singing it live

[small sentinel]

And it got more excited in picture 2

[ornate mural]

It did! the standards got raised
I’ll see myself out

[quaint summit]

I didn't even look in that area

[ornate mural]

That’s where my mind lives sometimes

[quaint summit]

I need this as a sticker

[bleak hollow]

Noticed it too, but It got bettet already during the song kinda, just the very beginning was shaky. But for sure, opening the set with a brand new song after a few weeks of break from the stage... he's a human after all

[queen raptor]

it must be stress of 1st live performance, Flo sounded bad on the chorus on sulfur which they performed live 2nd time only and he's a great vocalist just like Nico

[distant finch]

@bleak hollow aaaw lovely! "Pferdinand" (Pferd=Horse) already sat a few times on Davids Drumkit- he had a Facebook Page but i deleted my Account as i took some time off of social Media.
A very adventourus lil fella 😄

[placid oriole]

I didnt notice that, still had a blast with them

They had the honor of being my first wall of death

[queen raptor]

and yes, it always takes Nico 2-3 shows during a tour to "warm up", he tends to sound rougher after a break from singing

[quaint summit]

That is so lovely

[queen raptor]

i did too but my brain always notices every miniscule off note

[distant finch]

Through the rehearsel he ask if they still need to work with his singing, coz he felt it was breaking away- maybe thats why

[placid oriole]

That is okay, you finally saw them live and you had fun, didnt you?

[queen raptor]

[queen raptor]

makes sense

[warm wasp]

Lol, Shade already reacted to the live debut of EO from yesterday #1332398997607813200 message

[quaint summit]

[ornate mural]

Damn he’s fast! He really is

[queen raptor]

i'm curious to watch it later because Nico did sound off and i wonder if he'll gloss over it because only positive reaction and never nothing bad to say

[placid oriole]

I know this is the EC server but personally i found the Bad Loverz debut WAY more exciting than EO live debut

is this treason

[queen raptor]

bad loverz didn't work for me, i hate to say

[placid oriole]

Lol i dont mind

[queen raptor]

i'm a mod and i've been unable to shut up about lmvrks for weeks, it's not treason

[placid oriole]

o7

[queen raptor]

i enjoyed callejon more than i thought i would have, really good live vocals

[tacit cape]

Same I was about to leave to go oround the arean but in the end I stayed and enjoyed it

[crimson yacht]

I accidentally tightened the wristband too much

[graceful cargo]

Callejon sended me back where I was 16/17.. dunkelherz and kind im Nebel.. emotional damage

[queen raptor]

that was my plan too but i walked around during bad loverz and checked out callejon and didn't leave

really liked hblock-x too, it's funny how many songs of theirs i knew without knowing who they are

[quaint summit]

Basti is amazing

[queen raptor]

the crowd was so loud for little girl, i think i tore my vocal cords

[crimson yacht]

I walked around during the change overs, got one of those pretzel things, I gave up when I saw the line for food

[graceful cargo]

Back to Landmvrks.. suffocate in acoustic give me another goosebumps and selfmade black hole.. best I close song Ive ever heard

[quaint summit]

Callejon are fantastic..and the new line up really works. Cant wait for their new music.set was just too short tho. Eternia setlist was 90 minutes. And Their show works better in smaller locations.
schrei nach liebe with 10k ppl was frigging amazing meine Freunde

[queen raptor]

i stood in line for fries and when i finally got to the register, he told me there are no fries and i need to go to the other food place so i stood in the line for fries again and bought a burger

[quaint summit]

I got chills all over my body

[queen raptor]

the burger was so dry and thawed but filling

[graceful cargo]

I'm glad that they played some old stuff.. till # wir sind angst # I heard everything

[crimson yacht]

Yeah i probably would of been upset if I got to the front and no fries.

[queen raptor]

their new headline setlist has no suffocate

[quaint summit]

I'm happy i bought Indian food in the mall.

[quaint summit]

Basti is just phenomenal. His voice gets me everytime.

[crimson yacht]

I wanted to change my flights but eurowings are like no.

[graceful cargo]

No way

[quaint summit]

[crimson yacht]

I'll probably bring Ruby next time

[glass drift]

Metropolis and Schrei nach Liebe almost made me destroy my vocal cords right there already

[graceful cargo]

I got the chance see them 2 times in the past.. but I can't or it canceled bc corona

[graceful cargo]

Schrei nach Liebe is a mood 😅

[fossil zenith]

You could try to twist the ends until you get a really thin strand of fabric and then carefully try to move the black plastic thingy towards the ends.

[queen raptor]

i think the soft part doesn't really work live. but they'll have new songs, the unreleased one, blood red, is SO GOOD

[quaint summit]

Right from the start When porn from Spain 3 started i lost it completely

[crimson yacht]

I've removed it now panicked, and used my house key and alot of biting and pulling

[quaint summit]

Only once during their Eternia tour and i missed one of their final festival shows with the old line up last year bc I didn't know they had a show only 30 minutes away

[mystic vapor]

I already screamed my heart out at schrei nach liebe

Very surprised my voice isn't dying today😂

[quaint summit]

Is that the one you posted from YT?

[queen raptor]

[glass drift]

same, voice is surprisingly still working, even tho it broke between sets yday, when trying to speak normally, after Schrei nach Liebe happened

[shrewd robin]

Finally hooooome

[crimson yacht]

Only just home?

[glass drift]

hey cody, sadly didn't get to call you cute irl, but you were like 3 meters from me

[quaint summit]

The song is great

[fossil zenith]

This morning I tried to buy a Red Bull from reception - my voice all but gone and the receptionist was like: "You don't have to party that hard, do you?"

Duh, yessss?!?

[shrewd robin]

Bruuuh

[quaint summit]

[queen raptor]

i can't wait for the video

[crimson yacht]

It took me 5 minutes to figure it was you yesterday in the mall

[shrewd robin]

AND YOU DIDN'T TALK TO ME ?! HELLO ?!

[glass drift]

you left, not me

[mystic vapor]

It's called Escalation Fest FOR A GODDAMN REASON WOMAN!!!

[glass drift]

[shrewd robin]

Hehe

[crimson yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/vae-gif-15357506855217945854

[shrewd robin]

[crimson yacht]

Oh yeah I forgot you can't post gifs lol

[mystic vapor]

You haven't connected the Dots about us being attached by the hip?😛

[glass drift]

next time, dear Cody

[shrewd robin]

Forgetful AND small hehe

[queen raptor]

you can if you save them first

[shrewd robin]

[fossil zenith]

(it was a man, but the rest is pretty much my reaction)

[tacit cape]

But he's not cute at all... How the higher word for cute? because it suits him better

[mystic vapor]

Ofc it's a man

[shrewd robin]

Finger gun drive by like Keule did at one point @glass drift

[crimson yacht]

I didn't notice you right away but, Cody said hi and gave me a side hug and I'm like who's this?

[mystic vapor]

YELLING

[shrewd robin]

I AM SORRY

SO MANY PEOPLE HUGGED ME AND I GOT CONFUSED

[glass drift]

[mystic vapor]

"Why is this random adorable and cute person hugging me"

[crimson yacht]

Honestly I did it to other people aswell just like idk who you are so I'm gonna be awkward or look past you

[quaint summit]

I did not bc i didn't know you're fine with it and I forgot to ask you

[shrewd robin]

[mystic vapor]

You're better than me bc I was looking at some people like: when they talked to me and I didn't knew who they where

[shrewd robin]

Hey we did selfies together so 🤣

[crimson yacht]

If it makes you feel better you was the only one that sneaked a hug everyone else got a fist bump or a wave

[mystic vapor]

Especially when @deep flame talked to me in the elevator

[shrewd robin]

HAHA IN YA FACES EVERYONE

I AM SPECIAL

[quaint summit]

One photo bombed by @placid oriole

[shrewd robin]

[crimson yacht]

You gave me no choice

[shrewd robin]

Sorry next time I ask 😭

[shrewd robin]

Loved it

[placid oriole]

That is my profession

[crimson yacht]

I was like shit what do I do, don't worry about it you weren't to know and there was alot going on

[placid oriole]

i am a professional photo bomber

[quaint summit]

Yeah you did the same with @tacit cape

[quaint summit]

Professional photo bomber

[shrewd robin]

Our adhd greeting was hilarious

[mystic vapor]

Yea sorry that's why I went in for a hug too at the beginning didn't knew about it

[astral turret]

Just got back home to the UK and finally catching up on all the posts. I had the best time at Escalation fest! Looks like everyone else did too!

[placid oriole]

perhaps

[placid oriole]

It was

but the 20 minute waiting time for my drink wasn't

[quaint summit]

Don't worry turned out great (gonna send it to you tomorrow )

[crimson yacht]

Its fine tbh, even fist bumps/hand shakes make me feel awkward but I can just awkward smile through that

[placid oriole]

Thanksies

[shrewd robin]

Uuurgh yeah the lines were soooo long but eh festivals

[placid oriole]

innit

[shrewd robin]

BRUV

[quaint summit]

Nothing compared to wardrobe

[placid oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/british-gif-26077384

[crimson yacht]

Just maybe i can work up to hugs next time, or ill chuck Ruby in front of me when someone comes my way

[placid oriole]

[astral turret]

I got this photo of the amazing piano appearing in the crowd smoke and mirrors moment. It looks like it was made by AI though! 😂

[crimson yacht]

Listen we aren't doing that

[graceful cargo]

I'm so mad that we haven't pictures together.. all at one place even Jessica and I sitted some rows behind you

[mystic vapor]

"Here take the child"

[shrewd robin]

Oh god 🤣

[glass drift]

you're not far off, phones do algorithms, even AI depending on phone, on pictures to get more clarity out of them

[crimson yacht]

She will probably embrace you all more then me she will 13 by then probably

[mystic vapor]

Adorable

[placid oriole]

proof?

[crimson yacht]

No

[astral turret]

That makes sense

[quaint summit]

I took so many pics with everyone I spotted but I lost oversight. doesn't mean i didn't wanted to. Was just so overwhelming.

[crimson yacht]

I didn't take pictures with anyone, I just didn't bother at the time

[quaint summit]

Insert magic gif

[shrewd robin]

Okay imma go back to eating nuggies and resting cause omfg 🫠

[quaint summit]

Bye

[crimson yacht]

Byee

[quaint summit]

Should go too. I need to get up at 5am.
But i don't wanna leave my precious bubble.

[fossil zenith]

Talking about pictures - here's a cute one of @small sentinel and me. And obviously two dudes shortly before they are having a moment...

[queen raptor]

@primal prawn i have the full moment though bad quality

[crimson yacht]

What phones that elen a potato?

I'm joking don't ban me

[queen raptor]

from 2017 so yeah

[crimson yacht]

I always feel awkward taking photos with people behind me

[fossil zenith]

Photos like that might be part of the reason!

But we showed them the pic and the four of us had a laugh about it, so all good...
😆

[crimson yacht]

The guy behind us looks like Lester from GTA

[glass drift]

oh yea, that's the girl that stood left of me when i saw Cody and Keule the first time

[shrewd robin]

OH THATS WHERE YOU WERE

[glass drift]

white tekkno cross shirt

you might've seen me

i think my cousins were roaming at the time, so i couldn't leave the gf by herself

[tacit cape]

I can show a "back reveal" XD

[glass drift]

[mystic vapor]

@shrewd robin
Zarbex?!

[tacit cape]

I was sorting my photo earlier and I just laugh again when I saw this picture of you XD

[quaint summit]

Need to do that too. But probably tomorrow

[crimson yacht]

I need to make plans for tomorrow

[queen raptor]

i only have one selfie form the loo from EF

forgot to take one in the arena

[crimson yacht]

You had a picture of a loo

[queen raptor]

ye

[crimson yacht]

Whyyy??? I'm confused lmao

[queen raptor]

the big mirror

[crimson yacht]

Loo is another word for toilet here lol

[queen raptor]

and right lightining

i know

[crimson yacht]

I took you literal and thought you actually took a picture on the toilet

[queen raptor]

that would be @hoary holly

[crimson yacht]

Think we might be going to the zoo tomorrow

[crimson yacht]

Do they know who ec are

[queen raptor]

sadly they listenend to TEKKNO

[fossil zenith]

In front of Lacey and Marita?

YELLING

[shrewd robin]

Bet I looked your way but didn't notice lol

[crimson yacht]

I'm gonna head off, night all

[queen raptor]

dobranoc, have fun tomorrow

[deep flame]

lol I didn't expect you to know who I am 😆

[mystic vapor]

I am very sorry but it was nice meeting you!

[deep flame]

and you guys rushed in so fast, my brain just goes "hi" automatically when I recognize someone

[mystic vapor]

Very valid tbh

[glass drift]

Yiss

[fossil zenith]

I somehow love it if people on here don't have a revealing profile pic - I somehow imagined almost all of you to look completely different!
😆

[hoary holly]

[glass drift]

my pfp is from one of the most troll scenes of an anime, so it kinda fits in that way

[queen raptor]

after you saw me you can confirm i'm exactly like my pfp

[mystic vapor]

This!

[mystic vapor]

The way until I saw the first Pic of Cody last year I imagined him completely different

[deep flame]

it's like reading a book. Even if you have a person's vague description you still imagine them differently

[queen raptor]

where did people get the fancy cups?

[fossil zenith]

No! Like I told you, you're so beautiful and look nothing like that cat!

[deep flame]

asked for them at the food and drink bars

they were an additional 3€

[queen raptor]

oh, i didn't know :(

[shrewd robin]

Wha...how ?

[mystic vapor]

Well until then I thought you are a guy

[stiff mist]

This was such a wonderful moment and vibe so sweet how eespecialy Nico had to control himself not to cry, I for one shed a tear, it was just beautiful

[shrewd robin]

A small guy...a little menace...with curly hair...and maybe a schnuppek ? 👀

[hoary holly]

I wanna see Katze irl

[shrewd robin]

Oh god yes this! 😭

[mystic vapor]

Besides the schnuppek yes

[fossil zenith]

THIS! Omfg, I found one video on YT where you can see him like exhaling in the manner of "let's fucking go" before he starts belting out that part...

[shrewd robin]

[wanton grove]

I remember that too from last winter in Berlin vs later in the tour

[wanton grove]

I still have a spare Schnuppek for u

[hoary holly]

||schnitzel x nipple||

[bleak hollow]

Damn, now I'm sad I didn't take pictures with anyone

[queen raptor]

my mug?

[hoary holly]

I just want faces to (user)names

[shrewd robin]

Bet I looked your way but didn't notice lol

[hoary holly]

I know what a few people look like

[shrewd robin]

Discord what

The fuck

[hoary holly]

wtf I want level 50

[shrewd robin]

I send that shit ages ago

[hoary holly]

I like the colour

[shrewd robin]

You need to yap more

[hoary holly]

IM ALMOST THERE

Kinda

[shrewd robin]

OOOHHH

[hoary holly]

That’ll take me ages

[queen raptor]

i'm in a couple of group photos peeps posted

[wanton grove]

Autocorrect really hates me lmao

[queen raptor]

black hair, glasses, striped shirt, very pale

[queen raptor]

i only have selfie from the toilet with +10 beauty on

[hoary holly]

Not the toilet selfie

[hoary holly]

Emo

[quaint summit]

[quaint summit]

I mean you totally teased us with you +10 beauty

[queen raptor]

i had my face on during EF but i didn't see anyone

[quaint summit]

WiFi and normal connection didn't work there

I could have asked where you're sitting in advance and come by

[queen raptor]

i didn't know until i got the ticket after coming to the arena

[unique pewter]

EF was just too short to talk to everyone that I wanted to talk too …

[queen raptor]

oh well, maybe in another life

[quaint summit]

Maybe another time.

[placid oriole]

Aye, could do that

[shrewd robin]

I was happy that we met cause I was able to say hello to the Kevin Kangaroo hehe

[unique pewter]

[queen raptor]

you can come to poland, it's cheap here

[queen raptor]

same

[placid oriole]

@fossil zenith do you remember whose phone it was on which the photo in the restaurant was taken?

was it yours? i dont recall

[fossil zenith]

Kind of. It was mine...

[quaint summit]

Tbh I just looked it up.

[placid oriole]

ohhh can you send it to me??

[fossil zenith]

I'll DM you

[placid oriole]

Would be neat

thanksies

[fossil zenith]

You're welcomesies??
😂

[placid oriole]

Yeah thats the way

[deep flame]

to me too please!

gosh I'm so tired I completely forgot about that

[graceful cargo]

Sooo.. it was a incredible night thank you. I have to go to bed and that means surviving the first day at my New employer

[deep flame]

good luck!

[placid oriole]

Nini

[quaint summit]

We're gonna get together for landmvrks

So but I'm going to bed too.
5 am so nighty you wonderful people. 🫶

[placid oriole]

Sleep well, hope you recover enough energy

by the way, Alea told me that theyre gonna perform "never gonna give you up" as bad loverz

i am so excited

[small sentinel]

Omg they're gonna be Rick rolling us!?!

[placid oriole]

yeah

he even did the chorus for me real quick

appearently he only recently learned how to sing those high notes because he found a new teacher in the past 3/4 year

[orchid ridge]

Can confirm

[abstract ravine]

He's Would it be inappropriate to invite him to discord? Maybe he'll join like Arab Man Reacts did.

[dusty rapids]

He joined the BM server, so I'd say chances are good that he would join

[whole willow]

Huge thank you to Peter for not only providing us with a recording of the first EO live performance but also he also shared Bad Loverz set at his channel...
THANK YOU 🤘

[glass drift]

Spotted
we'll pick you up if we ever get to see ya at an event again

[nimble cloak]

@orchid ridge your video got a lot of reaction
https://youtu.be/h3Ocgpv6BHI?si=At1WZ6XtcXC85v62

[orchid ridge]

First ever!!!

[quaint summit]

https://www.bravado.de/collections/electric-callboy

EF merch is available for anyone who didn't buy on Saturday

[queen raptor]

i have no plans to see them 😔

[quaint summit]

Maybe we can work something out when the time comes 🫶

[crimson yacht]

Had this email this morning for those that didn't get a chance

[crisp cape]

Hi, this is a little unorthodox and I'm sorry in advance, but my husband was at escalation fest and lost his phone. We can't get in touch with the venue or anyone else, so I was wondering if maybe anyone here might have a resource for us! It wouldn't be a huge deal but everything (Email, bank, etc.) needs two factor authentication so if we don't find the phone he has to redo everything

[queen raptor]

are you still in germany?

[crisp cape]

Yes, we live here, just not near the venue

[queen raptor]

i'd try sending them an e-mail to ask if they have lost & found but they'd probably need to you come in person to check

[crisp cape]

Thanks!

[unique pewter]

There's a number on their website: Verwaltung
0208-820020
Have you tried it there? it says they are open 9-4?

[crisp cape]

Yes, no one's answering this morning. We also filled out their contact form

[unique pewter]

maybe the person who should be there is on sick leave or running through the building.... I would definately try that number again later

[midnight wyvern]

if nothing work out maybe try to contact via instagram. I had a question before the show, had to wait a while, but they answered

[queen raptor]

i posted it on insta if you want to see my face (i did say ill do a reveal if i go to EF )

[round spruce]

Just not to bring the mood down, but if someone pickpocketed/stole the phone then it's not in the arena anymore.

[crisp cape]

Yes, that's our fear too. The SIM card is locked, so it should be okay. He did try to find it on the night after the concert but the cleaning crew kicked him out.

[round spruce]

Let's hope that you're able to get it back 🤞

[glass drift]

did you try the "find my phone" thing to see if it left the venue before losing battery/net?

[primal prawn]

Thank you!

[queen raptor]

gotta say, being the only one in the seats standing up and vibing for landmvrks and one of the few in my rows standing up for EC made me feel so fucking self-conscious

[tacit cape]

well, I guess it was a bit weird but as long as you enjoyed it

[bleak hollow]

In my block nearly everyone was standing for EC, for Landmarks,,, I think a few people, but not many

[drowsy fog]

the only important thing is that you enjoyed yourself

hello everyone, I made it home yesterday fell in bed just got up and am thinking about going to bed again 😆

[queen raptor]

people in the block to my left were standing for EC but 102 was half-seated for even EC (i think people above me were standing, and maybe to my right)

for every other band 102 was half empty and/or sitting, sans that one dude who was really feeling it for callejon and hblock-x

i think 102 was guest area but non-guests were sitting there because of empty seats 😂

[round spruce]

You were probably in the section with more guestlist ppl and most of them are not necessarily engaging to the bands similarly as let's say a fan who bought a ticket.

[queen raptor]

yeah, i was, Nico waved at us once and i reflexively waved back confused why the hell he did that and then i realised his fam was most likely to my right

[drowsy fog]

speaking of loo-pics, have you seen the official bad loverz video for the look?

[round spruce]

Yeah I think Kevin pointed around there when he mentioned family as well

[quaint summit]

You're part of the family now

[queen raptor]

i felt so awkward after

[shrewd robin]

Daniel K. also made a heart in that direction

[quaint summit]

That's what family is about. Feeling awkward

[bleak hollow]

I would have 100% waived as well 😄

[queen raptor]

cloak room was crazy because they had no system for where they put clothes on

it took the girl so long to find where my coat was because it wasn't chronological, it seems

[quaint summit]

funny thing is i asked an employee if there is,a second one and then we were hearing in this direction. Unfortunately the second one was closed. They opened it later in the evening tho

[round spruce]

If that's the standard how they operate the cloakroom in that arena, I'm surprised..

[vale ember]

Yeah had the same situation in Dortmund with SUM41 had to wait 40 min afterwards and almost missed the last train, so I was kind of glad that I kept my coat at my seat (different situation when you're standing ofc)

[queen raptor]

i just opened my email and found 6 emails from DB that the train i wanted to take to obherhausen was getting delayed

funny thing is that because of that i accidently ended up taking a route that was 12-15 minutes shorter

[queen raptor]

not knowing where exactly to look for coats of 10k or so people is insane, they should have it more organised

[round spruce]

Yeah even some lines go the same route they may have less stops so it makes things gonna go faster

[quaint summit]

You really needed to check if you're queuing for the right thing

[bleak hollow]

I avoid cloak rooms at concerts by all means

[quaint summit]

Me too. Not in winter tho

[queen raptor]

i queued for fries to a spot where there were no fries

[hollow echo]

Oh my god the same happened to me

[tacit cape]

deception...

[quaint summit]

Now i want fries

Still in craving mode

[queen raptor]

so i went to where they did have fries but ended up not getting fries in the end

[queen raptor]

same, and i didn't want to leave my coat on the seat or drag it with me everywhere

[quaint summit]

[queen raptor]

also need to say, i'm so glad i had a hoodie, my seating area was COLD

[hollow echo]

Oof xD
Nah I was feeling a bit weak so I went to the food stands and stood there for a while, walked up to the guy and he was like "Sorry, food's over there." and pointed to the side
Felt like an idiot lol
Then I went to the other side and waited for another like 10 minutes until I finally got my fries

[queen raptor]

i decided against fries for the practicality of it, got myself a very thawed borger

shoutout to those people who i saw carrying full on meals into the pit

[hollow echo]

Mmm, nice! The burger looked good in the picture, but I figured the mix of sugar in a sprite and salty fries would be the best way to get back up to speed and get ready for H-Blockx, Landmvrks and EC

[queen raptor]

the burger wasn't the best quality but it was really filling

[tacit cape]

Trusty cheesy pretzel I ate XD

[slim sequoia]

helooo :>
Do you people think those EC jerseys / trikots / football-shirts (what's the right word for it? 😭) that were available at Escalationfest could be released in their online shops? That would be awesome, they looked so nice.

[tacit cape]

THIS^

[queen raptor]

i missed merch i wanted because it was on the other side of the arena

[tacit cape]

There were only 2 merch table...

[queen raptor]

i saw only one

[slim sequoia]

There were 3, i think.
One was outside

[tacit cape]

The second one was on the opposite of the other one

What?! I couldn't go outside

[slim sequoia]

But they all had different articles!

[queen raptor]

it was right out the door next to the cloak room, within the fenced area

[hollow echo]

I was lucky to be close to one
Headed upstairs after Landmvrks, quickly went to the merch table, bought a shirt, went back downstairs, and then I saw Alea from Saltatio Mortis standing next to me in the crowd

[tacit cape]

I guess that since I had the comfort ticket I didn't realized that there was something else outside

[queen raptor]

i wanted landmvrks shirt but the merch table i saw didn't have theirs and i didn't know there was another one

[tacit cape]

He was enjoying himself next to us XD

[queen raptor]

people saw other people and artists and i spent the entirety of EF like 🧍‍♀️

[hollow echo]

Aww nooo :(
I got the main EF shirt that's also in the online shop, figured I'd get something for the entire occasion, not just from a single act

[queen raptor]

wanted to avoid the shipping costs but oh well

my EF experience did not go as planned

[slim sequoia]

Super sonic speed! :D
That sounds like a nice experience

[queen raptor]

anyway, i gotta go and i don't want to be here souring the joyous mood

[hollow echo]

Aww it's okay, hope the next shows will be great for you though

And yeah, I get that with the shipping cost, comfortable ordering stuff online, but shipping costs screw me over like 50% of the time I wanna buy something (no, Ebay, I don't want 5€ off my next order when I have to pay double the product price just for shipping )

[queen raptor]

i have no merch so it'd have been my first shirt

[crimson yacht]

Alright fess up which one of you scoundrels put it here

[fossil zenith]

Platform 13/14?

[crimson yacht]

Yes

[fossil zenith]

Wasn't me...

I only put one on the coffee shop on the station square

I won't reveal the evil-doer - maybe they'll reveal themselves...
😆

[crimson yacht]

[shrewd robin]

I am a menace but nope

[agile rover]

starts with p and ends with eter?

those damn americans

[queen raptor]

i have so many stickers left, i might plaster them around my tiny ass city

[shrewd robin]

Is this going to be the new: Nett hier aber waren sie schon mal ? (The yellow oval stickers that get plastered on every damn continent and even under water 😭🤣)

[crimson yacht]

Also it stinks in here

[tacit cape]

where?

[queen raptor]

don't breathe

[crimson yacht]

Unfortunately i need to do that

[queen raptor]

are you sure

[hollow echo]

It's optional, really

[tacit cape]

Christoph from Annisokay was also there (the whole SPC band was behind us during the show, I died)

[mystic vapor]

Wait Cheeche was also there?

Fabio from Statefall was also there, I ran into him on my way to the Tattoo

[blazing fulcrum]

If you want, I will trade you some stickers for Swedish snacks.

[tacit cape]

yes, I saw him while I was talking with Kobura Bubulle and TMTR

after the show*

I randomly ran into Kami as well

[mystic vapor]

Ohhh I didn't saw him

We met up with Stefan and Sebastian I saw while walking past them

[mystic vapor]

Kami and Sarah walked infront of me after the tattoo but I was to confused or stressed to actually say they slay

[tacit cape]

yes

[mystic vapor]

Chris (the youtuber) was also around

I also fangirled over meeting Carina Pusch

[tacit cape]

They were just so sweet and Their outfit were just so perfect

[mystic vapor]

She said my Jacket looks good and I almost cried

[hollow echo]

I remember seeing you walk past me once or twice, though I don't know if that was before or after I hung out with Alea

[mystic vapor]

I was pretty much on a Mission when walking around so if I missed yoz I am sorry

[hollow echo]

Oh no it's fine, I was too distracted as well I don't think I would've had the courage to talk to a lot of people, I'm still insanely happy that Selesnya pulled me along during MC Thunder 1 'cause I was standing so far to the side

[tacit cape]

My Mom (Selesnya) is so nice

[unique pewter]

oh damn..... thats a nice idea for a new sticker......

[queen raptor]

@tacit cape you were so lovely i couldn't not

[tacit cape]

Am I?

[queen raptor]

yes ❤️

[tacit cape]

You were just too cute as well

Am I crying again? maybe XD

[agile rover]

you are

[quaint summit]

[quaint summit]

[quaint summit]

Yes you are

[quaint summit]

It was so nice meeting you

[hollow echo]

Naww it was really nice meeting you too And thanks again for the great time!

[hollow echo]

My brain is honestly pretty fried Escalation Fest on Saturday, now I'm still riding that high and had to go to occupational therapy for the first time today, talked about my entire life for over an hour

[unique pewter]

@shrewd robin Like this?

[tacit cape]

So PERFECT!

[shrewd robin]

I meant something else but yeah looks awesome 🤣😭

[unique pewter]

I only know these from here

Next concert….

[round spruce]

I think the singer of Cyan Kicks was at Escalation fest too. They work with Contra and she came back to Finland on the same flight as me. Or she was just randomly at Düsseldorf around the same time (which may be true but I doubt). And I'm like 80%sure it was her but can't be sure as I did not ask and didn't want to bother...

[neat glade]

Yes she was there. I talked a lot with her at the aftershow party, she's pretty cool (and follows me now haha)! I didnt know who she is though and never heard of Cyan Kicks, I was really surprised they have 120k monthly listeners on spotify 😅

[round spruce]

They tried to get to eurovision 2 times so they're pretty known at least here, but they've also toured a lot in Europe with different bands (they've done a lot of opener spots for others I think)

[neat glade]

Yep the're coming back to Germany in March

[placid oriole]

I also went and had a quick chat with kami after EC

he complemented the nail polish that @void vine picked for me

[tacit cape]

He was super sweet

[quaint summit]

Ngl your nails look fantastic.

[placid oriole]

Nah that was the nail polish

i bite my fingernails when stressed, theyre fucked

[orchid ridge]

We are having a big problem in the states with that at some concerts. Stolen phones

[orchid ridge]

I kick myself for not buying one

[tacit cape]

Same...

[orchid ridge]

Oberhausen Train Station, track 13/14, section A? No idea where that came from

Though my merch collection almost doubled this trip

[quaint summit]

[small sentinel]

Ugh ffs... No problem handling the long ass stairs in the arena, going up and down so many times (ha, pun) - and this afternoon at home I fell down the stairs... Sprained fingers and bruises on my back and behind I haven't checked yet... 🤕

[fossil zenith]

Oh noooooo, poor you! Get well soon...

[unique pewter]

Get well soon and check if there‘s anything more serious that needs a doctor 🫂

[orchid ridge]

Hope everything is ok!

[small sentinel]

Will do, but so far everything still moves as it should (not saying I still got the moves for now... I'll take it easy for a bit) 🤞

[unique pewter]

At least you are still able to hide an EC pun in every sentence

[small sentinel]

Trying to keep it light, but it's a hate/love thing...

[agile rover]

maybe that's a sign of a head trauma

[unique pewter]

I just wanted to write that myself but seems like you are a….

[small sentinel]

Mindreader?

[crimson yacht]

I see you 👀

[quaint summit]

Get well soon

[coral warren]

My heart and body is slowly regenerating from the escalation on Saturday 😅

[quaint summit]

Need to check that

Thanks for that idea

[ornate mural]

Oooh. I need to check this xD

[quaint summit]

Since I'm still confused who i met on Saturday. Bc i was in such a dopamine rush that i don't really remember

[coral warren]

My original plan was to save my energy for EC but when the intro to Creature started I forgot that I am old and did some warmup with Landmvrks 😅

[tacit cape]

Old people problem XD

[coral warren]

But damn did it feel good to completely escalate and forget about all the stuff in the head. Guess everyone feels the same. Inbetween the songs it's so great to see all these sweaty but happy faces in the moshpit. Need a new tour ASAP not end of the year 😂

[quaint summit]

Escalation was the plan so

[graceful cargo]

My threads feed is full of impressions of ef

[high token]

My mood is still up even if i‘m having a bad day just walking around all day with the setlist stuck in my head

[orchid ridge]

Young people problems

[tacit cape]

I swear, my body is still protesting XD

[mystic vapor]

Mine too and I am not old..

[orchid ridge]

So happy I took tomorrow off too

Mine 3 and I am old

[tacit cape]

You're not ready for the the future, welcome in the clubXD

[graceful cargo]

I'm going to be old

[glass drift]

everyone will be

[tacit cape]

old but still stupid for me XD

Apprently the pain is due to the fact that I still headbang and jump a lot... XD

[glass drift]

as you should

i feel better than expected tbh

means i didn't go hard enough

[tacit cape]

"we will be forever young"

[queen raptor]

did as everything unfolds really play only 4 songs?

[void vine]

@placid oriole can you confirm with the setlist?

[placid oriole]

One sec

[placid oriole]

it were infact 7

[queen raptor]

danke

they did not play grayscale, now i'm less sad about missing them

[whole willow]

I hope all you lovely people recover well
EC could start selling tickets with discount vouchers to physio 😂

btw just think 🤔, the band sometimes does this show 3nights in a row…
I honestly don’t know how…

[queen raptor]

to be fair, people jam for hours because opening bands, EC "just" for an hour or so

but yeah, a lot of respect to them, they're getting free workouts and i was dying doing 30 minutes of cardio every day

[whole willow]

Yep.
Sure you can “sit back and relax” at an EC show, but if the music moves you then you need the cardio to match the band’s. And that is a tall order.

And now take a look at the NOV schedule..and gasp ..

[queen raptor]

maybe that's why they talk so much during the show, to have a rest moment

[whole willow]

Absolutely. They need a rest moment, we need a rest moment

[queen raptor]

idk how bands do it, every band on the stage was very active and i've seen some of their touring schedules

[whole willow]

But also ..festival shows..sometimes a lot less chit chat…it is full steam go..
Certainly a workout 🏋️‍♀️

[unique pewter]

That’s true. Festival shows are also on a tighter schedule so bands mostly try to squeeze in as many songs as possible and not waste time with talking

[whole willow]

So everyone going to the summer festivals..prepare

And then ..training season for November shows. 😎

[abstract ravine]

It's nearly impossible to refrain with EC.

[queen raptor]

i'm sitting, after experiencing sitting at an arena i know i don't have to prepare for anything

i can be old and creaky

[whole willow]

But could you stay seated? 🪑 for the whole show?

[queen raptor]

no but sitting down between bands helps so much

[whole willow]

Yep. 👍 I think that is the advantage of seated tickets. You can still be energetic but when energy runs out you can take a breath sitting down for a minute

[queen raptor]

plus most people around me were sitting for opening bands (i sat for callejon and hblock-x too) so it's not as straining as standing for 6+ hours without seats

headbanging is much harder too, i was tripping almost falling because the ground was ending

[unique pewter]

I sat down for opening bands too because everyone around me was sitting and I did not want to stand in anyone’s line of sight

[whole willow]

Yeah hence the dilemma.
Seats: room to our down your jacket, water bottle, take a seat but not much room to dance or headbanging vertigo

Stand: dance, head bang but no room to sit..

It is a tough choice with EC

[queen raptor]

i sat down because i felt awkward being the only person standing. i stood for landmvrks because they're special and i didn't care if people behind me didn't see anything, they probably didn't want to see anyway

[whole willow]

I am the same..If I have to go seats then I will be respectful and tell people around me that "hey I might be the ONE who flips out in a lot of dancing and singing along..so sorry or just join" (Sorry Peter you might not be able to record any footage in my vicinity..) after all this is a live concert not Hamlet..

in stands I tend to be in "giraffe enclosure" (closer to FOH) because there is usually more room to dance and move about

I personally think one should see EC both in an arena and at a summer festival - if possible..They are awesome in both but it is a different experience ❤️

[warm wasp]

Went through the pics I took

[bleak hollow]

glorious

[shrewd robin]

OMFG AM YOUR PFP

[bleak hollow]

Shamelessly cut Sven out, oopsie #1248603090312105994 message

[shrewd robin]

[queen raptor]

i remember which Kevin's lows made me go "wow", it was the 2nd pump it verse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWbwfSTbPX8&ab_channel=arimages7

[warm wasp]

That's crazy, I was literally just watching that and yeah it was crazy

[queen raptor]

people outside of the pit seem very still (on the left side), where's the moving

[placid oriole]

i was at the left side most of the time, there were mostly shorter people and most of them were focused of trying to see anything (guessing from my past experiences)

but i didnt pay much attention because i moved a lot had a good spot

and i went to the pit once or twice

[queen raptor]

it was said before but it needs to be said again, i love that the new stage set up puts David closer to the people

[queen raptor]

someone who was there in GA said it was very tight

[placid oriole]

GA?

[queen raptor]

general admission, standing

[placid oriole]

ohh

it maybe was tight, but i didnt really notice it, we had a fairly good spot

[queen raptor]

that's great

[dusty rapids]

Was pretty tight because the pit in the middle was pretty big. I was with 10 people I know constantly in the pit and only saw 2 of them three or 4 times

[placid oriole]

oh that as well

i couldnt reach the wall of death as well, because it was so tight towards the middle

[slim sequoia]

riiight?! me too :( It was just too busy, haha :D

[placid oriole]

happy birfday!!

[slim sequoia]

oooii, thanksiess

[whole willow]

Frankly, the only change I would make...and it is a tiny one......"please use that middle LED wall, more for the band than graphics"...I know..I know..I.but there are 6 members in the band..it would be awesome to see more of them on that big middle LED wall instead of the smaller side ones..

[neon hinge]

I hear and understand you, but most of the time for live shows, production isn’t set up for that. The main wall is usually pre-programmed content. The side IMAG walls are specifically setup for camera operators to get shots of the band so people in other parts of the arena can see them. Of course, you can tie in cameras to the main wall as well, but there’s a lot more tech stuff involved than just „put them on the big wall instead of the small ones“.

Tech facts with Tank!
Hope you had as much if a blast with the show as we had, and then made it home safely.

[bleak hollow]

To be fair, I think the side screens gave a bit too less "air time" to band. Like obviously Nico and Kevin were shown the most, then I think David get his fair share, but then Dan, and especially Daniel and Pascal barely appeared on there.
Could also be just my perception of course...

[queen raptor]

the "curse" of vocalists focus

[bleak hollow]

I get it that they're more in focus and it makes sense. Just felt liek the rest of the band could have used a bit more screen time, and, more importantly, more equal amount of it per person

[obtuse wyvern]

Yo! some of the pics I took at Escalation.
I hope it's ok to share them here. 😁🤘

[bleak hollow]

woah, they're really good! Thank you for sharing!

[obtuse wyvern]

Thanks 😍 You're welcome! 🤘😁

[fossil zenith]

I assume that Kevin's wide pants didn't arrive in time?
Or did he just not read the memo?

[ornate mural]

They are all so pretty
Ok if I save them?

[mystic vapor]

"Lets all dress up and not tell Kevin"

[bleak hollow]

They probably just ripped during the rehearsal and he had to go back to his old faithful indestructible ones

[queen raptor]

Kevin is still clinging to that skinny look and refuses the return of wide nu-metal pants (bless him)

[obtuse wyvern]

Thanks 😍

Yes 💕

[ornate mural]

Yay!

[queen raptor]

same, because and because nu-metal wide pants are ugly

[small sentinel]

I met so many lovely people on Saturday all with own and discord names, so not sure, who was the lady from Salzburg? 🤘😁

[ornate mural]

So yes very sorry

[unique pewter]

I also talked to him when he was waiting outside when I think Landmvrks played....

[warm wasp]

Super nice guy

[mystic vapor]

[abstract ravine]

Is it just me, or does this feel like a trend with their vlogs and social media posts, too? Maybe I'm making that up.

[drowsy fog]

That was me (Irene) 👆

[small sentinel]

Ah yes, that's right! Hi! I was just wondering, since I'll be in Salzburg quite a bit again this summer for work 🤗

[graceful cargo]

I show the review of ec by brain damage and I must say again Flo and mindreader= love

[quaint summit]

@obtuse wyvern thanks for the pictures

[obtuse wyvern]

You're welcome

[quaint summit]

(At) everyone: I'm planning on making a Photobook. And I'd love to use so many pics as i can. I mean there were so many from the show but also from the meet up. I don't think i have every pics
(It's my habit of needing all the pics so that i can dive into my memories )
First of all: from those who already shared would you mind if I use them?
Second: if anyone has pics (especially from the our discord meet up or later at the show our meet cutes I'd be so happy to get them.

Sounds weird maybe. But the last weekend meant so much to me.

[unique pewter]

I also did not make any but would love to see some of the meetup

[placid oriole]

idk if i shared any pics but use mine if you want to

[quaint summit]

I really appreciate it

[quaint summit]

Unfortunately there is no media thingy here only in the channel.not specifically in the thread

@queen raptor can we maybe open a picture thread for EF?

[round spruce]

you should be able to send pics, just not gifs

Let's try to keep the EF stuff here for now

[queen raptor]

you should be able to post gifs but from local source, so not from tenor directly (save it > post)

[quaint summit]

Where can I find all posted media from this thread?

[round spruce]

I think that is not available for threads, even pics can be posted

[quaint summit]

Thanks

I know what I'm gonna do tonight

[glass drift]

it was lol, my cousin jumped on my feet a few times

and the gf got uncomfortably close to some other girl more often than she likes to

[round spruce]

I hope discord has removed that thing that you get put to the newest messages when someone posts even if you're reading some older messages way back...

[glass drift]

as long as i don't get directly tagged with my account on the picture, idm if @fossil zenith shares our meet up at the Louisiana afterwards for that

[fossil zenith]

@void vine ? @placid oriole ?

[placid oriole]

already said that I don't mind

you're good to go

[void vine]

fine with me too

[placid oriole]

does anyone know how @deep flame sees that? she didn't reply to my DM

[quaint summit]

No sharing and tagging. It's a private Cewe Fotobuch. Only for me. But I wouldn't use your pictures without consent.

[tacit cape]

@void vine @placid oriole cookies were delicious

[placid oriole]

thanks, we gave our best

[glass drift]

then idm at all, even with tags, i just dislike when one of the typical pages can get scraped by AI and associate the data

[quaint summit]

Thank you so much. And @void vine too

[placid oriole]

@quaint summit If you would like, can you share the results privately? I think I'd like to see them, of no one minds

[quaint summit]

Ofc.

[queen raptor]

i don't mind if you use my face from the meet up that you took and i don't have any pictures outside of that, i can be tagged

[unique pewter]

The select hotel group shared this magical photo before. That’s the only one that I have

[somber seal]

Happy to be tagged, I also don’t have any additional photos

[quaint summit]

I love this pic so much

[round spruce]

I'm so annoyed that the security came to bug me right when Uke came out and I missed the ending on my video....

[void vine]

Were you that suspicious?

[round spruce]

I was at the stairs and I guess they wanted me to go to my seat

[orchid ridge]

Use me!

[fossil zenith]

@quaint summit The only other pix I have are ones from the concert(s) - do you want some of those, too?

[quaint summit]

[orchid ridge]

And hot off the presses!

https://youtu.be/k-CfWsIaG90

[quaint summit]

I'll send mine later in our WA group. It's probably easier

Sharing via WA i mean

[fossil zenith]

Will do the same then

[quaint summit]

So mean

[quaint summit]

[placid oriole]

at least she didn't miss her ticket in her jacket

[quaint summit]

What?

[round spruce]

I did not bother try to tell her why I was there so I just went out for the first few songs -.-

[placid oriole]

i missed my infield ticket in my jacket and had to go back to the garderobe to get it

[quaint summit]

Ah..now i get it.

[void vine]

Still better than me leaving them in Hamburg in '23

[placid oriole]

In the end we both got in, so yeah

[vale ember]

Now I‘m sad that I didn’t think of taking pictures with any of you

[tacit cape]

I didn't dare to ask and I was to excited to think about it

[quaint summit]

We even talked but I totally forgot taking a picture with you

[quaint summit]

I think you took a few pictures too. Nvm gonna share our pictures via WA is the easiest way.

[tacit cape]

All blurry...

[vale ember]

Yeah totally forgot that
I was happy that Marita remembered so I have some with her

[mystic vapor]

I have a pic with @quaint summit and ofc pics with my Husband and Catarina

[quaint summit]

[quaint summit]

I think you walked pass me in the crowd during Umbaupause but it was so quick that I couldn't say anything
And i still can't figure out what happened during the meet up

[tacit cape]

I also have a picture of Catarina... But, I will keep it for myself XD

[quaint summit]

Naughty

[steep field]

[quaint summit]

Still in bed ?

[queen raptor]

[tacit cape]

It appears randomly again while I was in my google drive XD

[quaint summit]

At 8.10 pm?

[queen raptor]

[quaint summit]

I meant emotionally

[steep field]

[queen raptor]

[tacit cape]

Cute jumscare, I will never delete it XD

[warm wasp]

[mystic vapor]

Like the one you took of you instead of me and Stefan at Corefest?

[steep field]

HUH?

i don’t remember wtf😭

[mystic vapor]

I should just expose you ngl..

[steep field]

show me first 😭😭

[tacit cape]

Yes, show me first XD

[ornate mural]

My mission for the past year is to take more pictures at events and parties. I used to always forget. So I didn’t have any «memories» to look back on. Trying to correct that hehe.

[mystic vapor]

DM

[ornate mural]

I sent some pictures in here from the discord meetup too. But I can send them again. And all the selfies I took with people. If that’s wanted Forgot to take pictures with some of you though.

[steep field]

OH GOD EEWWWWW

[mystic vapor]

[orchid ridge]

Me too!!!

[fossil zenith]

@deep flame gave me the OK, so here's the pic of the after-concert-mini-meet-up

[tacit cape]

I'm so sad I was too roast to come with you (but on the other hand, I liked every minute I've spent with weidsol...)

[unique pewter]

[fossil zenith]

Mo was going brrrrrrrrrrrrr

[tacit cape]

I would have loved too... oh well... next year I will have my own driver so ^^

[wanton grove]

Im sad I didn’t get pics with y’all but I spent almost the whole day at barricade
Except for my one adventure to use the WC during Callejon

[mystic vapor]

Well we got pics

[wanton grove]

I got a few pics with people bc of my cosplay but I don’t know if any of them are in here (if you are please share!!)

[wanton grove]

True

[abstract ravine]

I saw you in lots of EC Instagram posts!

[wanton grove]

I was mostly with people I already knew 😅
(Well, and then in the aftershow video post thing 😅😅)

I just wish I’d gotten to meet even more nice discord people

It’s the second time Jessica and I are I. The same place but don’t actually talk to each other 😂

[ornate mural]

Your outfit was awesome! Tried to wave at you, but you looked busy 😂

[wanton grove]

Oh no!!! Im sorry to have missed you, although thank you for your kind words

[ornate mural]

That’s ok! My pleasure hehe. You rocked that outfit

[shrewd robin]

@placid oriole being a cutie hehe

[placid oriole]

what did i do to be called a cutie

[shrewd robin]

[ornate mural]

You give such good hugs! And you’re so kind

[fossil zenith]

@shrewd robin should feel you on that topic...

[shrewd robin]

[placid oriole]

i knew i missed something at EF

fuck

the cocktail queue was appearently more important

[mystic vapor]

Very unbothered bc I am allowed to call him that

[queen raptor]

i never asked but it was you and the other mc thunder at neue mitte, right?

[shrewd robin]

Lucky me 🤣

[wanton grove]

Ah yes probably! (I was 1, she was 2)

[glass drift]

oh cool, didn't know it was

good job

[queen raptor]

both of you looked amazing, great cosplay

[bleak hollow]

And I loved how the camera kept on showing you during MC Thunder 😄

[wanton grove]

We didn’t stand in front of Flo on purpose, I swear 😅

I hope someone posts video of that on YouTube though, my ego would enjoy seeing what happened bc I didn’t have a good view of the side screens (and was too busy vibing anyway)

[bleak hollow]

Hopefully! I didn't film MC Thunder, was too busy jumping 😄

[round spruce]

I posted some clips on my stories from ef. Only elevator operator and MC thunder as I have most material from those.

[wanton grove]

Being on task is important!!

[ornate mural]

I posted my video of mc thunder on YT, I think I got you on video too. Dont remember atm

[round spruce]

Also I was so scary with my flag that one guy got scared of me when I was waiting at the stairs. He looked back and almost fell down but luckily his friends managed to grab him before he would've fell down on top of the lower row seats 😅

[shrewd robin]

I feel that

[round spruce]

I'm not scary 🥲

[agile rover]

ginny lurking everywhere

[tacit cape]

CUTE

[shrewd robin]

Bet he was from the server

[bleak hollow]

and just went offtopic? 😄

[shrewd robin]

[wanton grove]

Oooh I see MCT2, do you have MCT1 as well?

[ornate mural]

No sorry 😅 I wanted to join in on the jumping then. The only one I haven’t uploaded yet if WGTM, going to upload that after my shower xD Also the acoustic ones, and Castrop X Spandau. But they get added as shorts and not videos. So they get completely blocked 😩

[wanton grove]

Totally understand wanting to get in on the jumping, I never film MCT1 because IM BUSY lol

[ornate mural]

And I now get why there’s so few videos of MCT1. Everyone wants to join in on the fun. I remember I felt the seats jumping up and down too

[tacit cape]

The squeeking sound of the seated area XD I'm still laughing.. it sounded more like a "occupied bed" XD

[bleak hollow]

We jumped the fuck out of that song in our sector, I;m sure it was shaking big time 😄 (very carefully not to jump to the isle, because I dunno how many times security would come and ask everyone to keep it free)

[tacit cape]

Ze German Security isn't joking XD

[unique pewter]

I hope they checked the condition of the arena before letting us jump

[ornate mural]

And the music was loud and we could still hear the squeaks xD and we couldn’t move back and forth in our section. So everyone just jumped in place too xD

[bleak hollow]

they were not 😄 I was a bit scared the'll kick me out if I move 10 cm out to the isle. @agile rover had same experience I guess on the other side

[tacit cape]

I had the same feeling for EF vol 2 XD

[tacit cape]

I remember that I looked at Lacey like

[agile rover]

yeah my left foot was on the aisle but they didn't say anything

[ornate mural]

Hehehe. Sexy time

[tacit cape]

I'm still laughing and Hubby is like

[bleak hollow]

My chair didn't squeak, I'm disappointed!

[tacit cape]

I was the first row because there was a metal barriere...

[bleak hollow]

ah

[fossil zenith]

Do we have a good recording of the jumping from a bit further up yet??

[round spruce]

I have some but probably not as high and far away small as you mean

And in the end its more focused on the stage anyways

[unique pewter]

I got a video from about the middle height of the standing area. I'll post that later

[queen raptor]

mc thunder jump?

[wanton grove]

I would love any videos from MCT1 that people have!

If anyone wanted to upload them

[placid oriole]

Honestly that was one of the best things that day

[queen raptor]

i think i filmed the whole song, hold on

[placid oriole]

:>>>>

[placid oriole]

thank youuuu

[queen raptor]

yw

[wanton grove]

Omg these are sick, thanks for sharing!!

[warm wasp]

First MCT where I didn't reinjure my right foot too
