I know what a mystical title, haha! I didn't write the real title because probably you won't watch it.

On 11th June 2008 Linkin Park will perform in Latvia at "Arena Riga" and it's tomorrow!! I am so excited because my dream will come true tomorrow. It will maybe sound stupid, but I have never been in any concert (artists/bands) before and I don't know what is feeling when you are there. Tomorrow will be my first time when I go to concert like that. Don't laugh... I also have never been at Arena Riga but it seems very cool of outside view!
Oh I better won't write all details at the moment, you will see more after tomorrow's concert because I will be there with my sister and I will try to take some pictures. I know probably no one is interested but anyhow. Our Latvian LP fans got so great idea, but I won't write that now.

LATVIA, You will be rocked by Linkin Park!
I wonder if some of LP members will say something in Latvian like "Čau!" (Another word how you can say "Hi!"in Latvian).

Have fun, I have been to a George Michael concert last summer and it was the best!!!

The concert started at 19:30pm.
First performed the British brand "The Blackout" that I didn't liked how they sing because they most of their songs shouted like I can say and was hard to understand sometimes what they are saying because of British accent, but I liked their humor. They said to us to put our hands up from the last to the first like a wave, that was fun! The vocalist of The Black Out also said "We are first time in Latvia and thanks to Linkin Park for organizing this tour." It was a little bit annoying when they more times advertised their myspace page like "Dablju dablju dablju myspace dot com slash the blackout". I was shocked to hear when the vocalist showed the middle finger (The Blackout vocalist) to one watcher because he shouted "No!" when the vocalist said if we want more songs to hear of them. I think that was rude! I couldn't wait for Linkin Park anymore but at 20:20pm they come up on the stage! All public started to shout "Linkin Park, Linkin Park Yeah!!!" it was amazing! Sadly I wasn't very near at the stage but one of my friends was very near to the stage and she got a chance to shake Mike Shinoda's hand of Linkin Park and his thigh, haha! What she was trying to do? My friend said when he little bit scratched her hand probably wanted to get off her hands. Poor my friend but those will be the memories about Mike Shinoda, haha. I should say who had sit places weren't so active like people who had standing place but I stanted up and started to clap my hands and joining in advice with standing people also my sister did. I also got a chance to film some videos of Linkin Park, but too bad I didn't had a lot of battery. I saw also when other people had digital camera with them it'wasn't fair! I am jealous now, grrr.. haha! I was pretty surprised when there wasn't any screen that was stupid! I wonder how could see something people who sit in balcony also Linkin Park didn't say "Hi" or anything like that to us that's sad. I think they thought when we don't understand English because we didn't advice The Blackout much. Of course they said "Thank You", "Thank you very much" and more, but we didn't have a big contact with them. *sniff, sniff* Linkin Park threw bottles with drink, pick (my friend catch it, but some guy took it from her, grrr!) and Chester's t-shirt that he took off *drools*, HOT! Haha! I hope they will have a good thoughts about Latvia after yesterday's concert, but anyhow I am really, really happy when I went there and I really LIKED IT. I am also little bit jealous at those LP fans who went to "Meet & Greet" and who got something from Linkin Park, haha.

How why? Because for my sister is hard to stay so long on legs. She has problems with her right leg so if she didn't have then I would take stand places, but I can't leave my sister alone it won't be nice. Yes, we were sitting, but after some songs we stand up and clap our hands. I thought first when we will be more near stage and there will be big screens, but there wasn't. I have never been in Arena Riga before so it was my first time, but next time I will know. Anyhow, I am happy with my sitting place because it wasn't too far from stage and I am lucky because some people had sitting places in balcony and I don't think they could see something well. I am really happy when I could see them and Chester looked at our side *faints*. I really hope he saw our wristbands on our hands.
