The band
was asked to go onstage once again on the final song of the concert, and when
they were away, we decided to catch Savage, Sabrina and Bonnie Tyler to take
pictures with the idols of our teenage years. Bonnie Tyler proved to be a
breathtaking beauty with amazing energy bursting out; Savage who grew old too
soon was very warm and endlessly charming; and we didnt dare to approach
Sabrina since she was strikingly attractive, but seemed to be horribly pissed
off. As we found out later, she had problems with the flight, had to drive to
the concert straight from the airport and nearly missed her performance.
Having
returned to the makeup room, Alphaville kindly offered us to continue our communication
in a restaurant located nearby, where we went by taxi with the kindest
permission of Ray, the bands local tour manager. We arrived to American Bar
& Grill almost simultaneously. Having waited for about 10 minutes, we got
several tables moved together and finally started studying the menu. Marian was
extremely nice to offer us to be his guests. The following two hours were
filled, besides delicious food, with endless warmth, interesting conversations and
jokes. I got carried away by the communication and didnt drink even half of a
beer.
Somewhere
in the middle of our fun Marian waved us goodbye and went to bed since he was
tired, while we left at about half past one looking forward to our way back
home, but the musicians convinced us to drive to their Marriott hotel. They
didnt even have to beg J Six of us myself, Lena, Sveta, Rudy, Pierson and Wolfie (technician)
comfortably sat in the hotel bar and continued the friendly chat.
It was
absolutely obvious that the musicians didnt rush to let us go; Pierson offered
to try the drink I never heard of before with intriguing name zambuka, which
proved to be a colorless liquor of 75% of alcoholic content, and we burnt it
before drinking. Lovely thing! It gave us more strength to go on; Pierson
became outrageous and invited to dance in his hotel room.
His room
was tiny, it wasnt easy to stay there for six people at the same time. We
spread around the huge bed and started waiting for the promised disco. Pierson
sat on a chair trying to get the right tracks on his mp3 player connected to
the speakers. Sveta criticized absolutely everything he played mostly music
of the 70s. Upset Pierson spent at least an hour choosing the music, while we
fooled around on the bed, danced, took pictures, as if children J Only after the receptionist called asking to
tone down the fun we realized how tired we were and how inevitable it was for
us to leave. Ultimately Pierson caught Sveta whom he seemed to really like, but
we pulled her out of his prehensile fingers and left together at about 4 a.m.
