I arrived on the back of a motorbike once, barely, as we went the wrong way and ended up in Holland at one point. This would have been fine, but we went to Dresden and back too, which ended my pillion days
We did get to stay in Hamlyn on the way though, and to this day I'm convinced I saw "No Piping" signs down by the river

I can't make that unless I can arrange an "appointment" with a "customer" in Hildesheim. Then work'll pay
Failing that, what's the chances of a gig in little old England. Just improved do you think?

A few pointers on the fine art of Ubergothness for Dark there. The Emperor did use to have some jolly fine clothes though. Perhaps they'll come back into fashion.

Well, in the space of a day, Apoptygma Berzerk have appeared then disappeared from the official band list. So no doubt it's only a matter of time for The Sisters to do likewise. Rat's cocks. Ah well.

If you've just jinxed it, I'm coming after you with a battleaxe.

Didn't know you were married, Doomie? Something you're not telling us?

Yes, I'm a part-time Viking/pirate/ninja/milk tray bloke. (evenings and weekends)
I seem to remember someone started doubting the gangwar gigs a few months back and.... well.
We'll have no more o'that.

Don't think so. Seems, Eldo found his perfect biotop with Meraluna. A festival big enough to pay his charge, but not too big, so that TSOM can headline it. Goth enough to invite him over, but not insisting on that label, to not scare away this coy species. Ever seen such a great symbiosis of host and parasite?

It would be rude beyond belief not to!
Here's hoping...
Will VNV Nation perform again before Sisters and introduce them with the "puppet show" quote?

Yeah but without Apop, I've lost one third of my plea-bargaining case to the missus, who understandably will take a dim view on me spending what little money we have (I'll prob'ly be jobless in a week or two) on a goth-binge in Germany. EVen Mand would (probably) concede that it would be detrimental to my health to miss a festival with three of my fave bands on. I suppose if someone could convince the Pet ShopBoys to play Mera Luna I'd be home and dry.
I hope to god The Sisters play, with or without my presence, just to confirm they're still going in some form or other. Which I'd begun to seriously doubt. Pardon my cynicism / realism on the matter.

Just one question - have you, mates, ordered already the festival tickets or will you wait until there will be an announcement on Sisters offcial website (as I have intended to do)
SEE YOU THERE!

Not if we see you first!
I'm waiting - don't trust Von not to pull out enough.
(BTW - what's this VNV Nation quote?)

The singer repeated AE's words told before Depeche Mode gig:
Enjoy the puppet show!

I think it was simply 'Enjoy the Puppet Show'. Most amusing, and fair enough, I suppose. No idea if it was intended humourously or not.

Well I
presume it would have been...

from what I recall in threads passim, the "Enjoy The Puppet Show" was Mr. E's barbed comment at the headliners, Depeche Mode because he thought they looked and moved like Thunderbirds' puppets.
it could be false memory syndrome
