My Artrave Amsterdam Experience (10 pics)
My Artrave Amsterdam Experience (10 pics)
A lot of monsters asked us how the #artRAVEamsterdam was so here is my Artrave Experience, (and our amazing pictures) it is a long, but a Laura style story hihi hope you guys read it, means a lot <3 [[lm.pawsup]] * i do understand if you don't want to read it all, it is a lot but i just felt like writing it for the people that do want to read it. i mean if im gonna tell you my artrave story, im gonna do that and i can't do a short version, because it is a way too amazing experience for that. *
i had a couple dreams for the Artrave,
- that gaga would see me
- that andreia would be able to go with me.
- something with the gagashirt that she will think about it again.
- that she would also sing You and I
- that gaga was having an amazing show (like in feeling good)
- and the thing i was really really hoping, it that in some way she would get my Mini-Artpopfreezer
& of course i am dreaming to meet gaga one day
So first of course @andypires89gagaa she wanted to come with me to the artrave in amsterdam but she was with @belen1986 in paruguay (south america) and she wanted to move back to portugal, but the artrave was like coming so soon that she needed to hurry so much, so tuesday night at 11pm she arrived at the airport in holland after a 20 hour flight.
so we went home, talked a lil becaus i mean, we never saw each other before in person! only on skype.
We talked to my aunt about the concert and she told us that she wasn't feeling good enough to stand in the front with us, so i was a little bit sad because i mean, i'm not gonna let her stand alone right?! so she said her boyfriend wanted to go with her so Andreia and i could still stand in the front, and than she went to bed and we could wake her up if we wanted to go. so at 3 in the night we where way too exited and we packed our stuff and went to the ziggodome.
Because it all didn't worked out with the line in the btw ball (we heard) they now had a system with numbers so andreia had number 38 and i had 39 so we could go out of the line and go back in any minute. it was so cold, we where freezing so at 6:30 we went out for a walk to be warm again and we found a starbucks. so when we were getting warm again with a hot chocolate around 10 other amazing monsters joined us with the same idea, and we sat there for an hour and it was so nice to like really get to know all of them. i mean like i never met so many people in person of the monster comunity.
we picked up @pandatimmie and his friends from the trainstation because we where very close to there, i talked allready for months to him, but i never saw him in person, but i found im in a second because he paint his hair blue haha ;) so when we went back there where like allready around 200 people! and we had like a shock, but we could go back to our spot because of our numbers.
after a while i think around 11 andreia wasn't feeling that good, what i think everyone understands after a 20 hour flight and no sleep at all in the freezing night outside the ziggodome. so our aunt picked us up for a while so she/we could sleep a lil to feel better again, so after that she felt better and decorated not only us, but almost the full house of my aunt with glitter! i think i felt like i was eating glitters for hours but i think we looked FAB [[lm.flawless]]
so we went back with all our stuff, i got an artrave bubblegun from @valari4 & @kizzy4464 , and i want to apologise to the dutch monsters who i bet think i was the most annoying person jumping around with my bubblegun. i brought my 300 glowsticks and after i finished we had a lot more monsters with glowsticks hihi but i forget to keep a couple for me so everybody was glowing and not me :P
we made banners, and we found our buddy @superbrams in line and we talked to him for a while, and of course @kikivg who was going with us! we made a lot of amazing friends, i forget to write down all the names too bad, after a while when we where back in line it started to RAIN LIKE CRAZY what is not very surprising in holland tho.. but it would really sucked if i didn't brought umbrellas, but luckily i have amazing monster friends that allready went and tell me what i need to bring ;)
but still with poncho's, umbrellas, coats everything we almost drowned a lot of our stuff drowned and it was freezing cold. it cleared up when it was time for the general admission to go in, and the people of the ziggodome walked outside and it took very long, and than everybody dropped their umbrellas throwed them in the trash because you can't bring them of course, and everybody is in a hurry, and than it started raining like i can't even tell, it was so horrible, and the people of the ziggodome didn't do a thing just needed to wait and it was allready time, and than the head came, and they gave the people of the ziggodome ponchos while i think thousands of littlemonsters where standing there complete drowned.
but finally the moment was there, we could go in! we where in very quick and we had the perfect spot we wanted, right next to the piano. because we where there for Gypsy. * and i was secretly hoping You and i (my favorite with gypsy) & Dope *
and than lady starlight came, and i loved it i never saw her before also, and her music is cool, and she is just so funny to watch, the way she dances, i don't know how to explain it but it was a real fun experience allready.
and than we needed to wait sooo long after lady starlight i think 45 minutes longer than planned and we where soo nervous, and than suddenly it started, and there she was, Lady Gaga, the real one, the one and only Lady gaga, i had tears in my eyes, it is really the best way to see her for the first time with the wings on her back and i don't even have enough words to describe how beautifull she was!
and the most amazing thing is, she did ALL THE SONGS i really was hoping she would do. she did a lot of amazing songs, and pff.. i love the seashell bikini... hihi and with the seashell bikini outfit she looked me straight in the eyes and gave me a lil smile, i know that everybody will think like yes everyone always thinks that, but i really felt it in my heart. after the octopus dress she walked to the piano, and she was just playing a little random things and suddenly she started DOPE! and that was soo beautifull, i never heard it like this, completely different i think it was the Amsterdam-version. she was also being so funny with a lot of different things, in dope she said, * i need you more than dope, but i still love to smoke.. * and the full ziggodome was like,* yeah we figured lol *
and after dope she started You and I and i was screaming and jumping and i don't think i was ever this exited in my life, because that is the song i love the most together with gypsy, and when the artrave begin, i was like *i'm so sad i missed the born this way ball because i really really want to hear you and i live. because she does that so amazing. * AND IT WAS EVEN MORE AMAZING AS I EXPECTED!!!! i teared up and i was so happy i can't even tell.
and she talked in the middle of the concert about mary jane holland and everything in holland. like that she pained her hair brown again in holland and started again, (i bet you can find it on youtube) that was the moment when everyone was like, okay now she is gonna do MJH, but she didn't and suddenly after judas BAM SHE DID IT! AND IT WAS SOO AMAZING! i don't know but the vibe was amazing, everybody was waiting if she would do it because she didn't do it for weeks!
and than she did the part where she undresses for her new outfit, what they show on a BIG SCREEN in close ups, hahaha i think that is also a moment i need to put in my story.. and than she did applause, and i thought that was the last song before gypsy, and i was like okay so she replaced swine with MJH, and BAM SHE ALSO DID SWINE!! i was so happy than she did all the songs i wanted to hear. artpop is really my fav album it is all so perfect.
and than the moment was there, the moment i waited for for months, the moment why i didn't watched any of the artrave videos yet, the one moment that whenever i felt bad, i was like yes but that moment is gonna come soon,
GYPSY! o my gaga, i can't even explain i never felt so much emotions in one song, it was the most amazing thing i ever saw and heard in my life, something i will never forget in my life!! and i was a lil sad that i could not reach my aunt, because it is our song, and that was the moment where we came for and i felt her so strong that she was there, and i don't even know what to say anymore, the only thing i know is that when it was finished my aunt found me, gave me a hug and i started crying like baby, because now finally, this charapter of our lifes is finished, @sita has no cancer anymore!! and we celebrate that for sure! the artrave one of the the most amazing moments in my life for sure! for the rest of my life i will never forget it!
and after the show we went to the hotel, my aunt give us her key for the house so we could always get in & we could get a cab if we wanted to go home, so after a while when nothing happend and there was like no other monster, we went home, because we could not find out an other thing because my phone was dead. and we where a lil sad because we both had something that was very special to us to give to gaga, for me it was the Mini-Artpopfreezer. when my phone worked again i saw a couple pictures of dutch monsterfriends at the artrave after party with lacee. and i told andreia and she had the feeling this is it, this is the moment.
but i had no money left, she had no money left after the artrave and my aunt forgot she didn't had a key so she slept with her boyfriend so we sat there with no money, no car or whatever and it would be at least an hour walk and the party would stop in 1 hour 30 minutes. so we searched for a bank so we could get cash money, and after like a half hour outside in the middle of the night we had money, found a cap and got to the afterparty.
we did hear about the afterparty before, but i didn't wanted to go because i lost my wallet, so my ID so i knew i could not get in for sure in Amsterdam. so when we came there the party would only be there for 30 mins so i asked the guard, is here the gaga afterparty and he was like, yeah 30 mins more so you can just pass. and i was so happy, because if i needed to buy a ticket i knew i would never get in because i don't have an ID right now!
but when we came in the monsters there told us lacee allready left for a hour and a half. what was weird because we had such a good feeling about that @lacee will get it and give it to gaga, and i wanted to give her a #gagashirt so bad because she is so important to us, such an angel and so important for the littlemonster comunity, we wanted her to have our gagashirt.
so we talked there a while to monsters, and i don't know why but we wanted to leave like 4 times but it didn't worked out for several reasons. and BAM LACEE WALKED IN! i still can't believe that really happend, we think she maybe forgot something or something like that, because she needed to go away very fast, i think it was 30 seconds and i was SO NERVOUS! but i hugged her, told her the gagashirt was for her, and told her that it would be so amazing if she could give the minifreezer to her, that was really one of my dreams that i wanted to reach this evening! and andreia also gave very personal things, very beautifull but i think she will tell you about it in her own posts.
after this we where so happy we walked for 30 mins or something to the hotel where gaga might be, but it was 5:30 in the morning so i bet gaga was allready sleeping, so we got a cab back, and i can truely say it was the most amazing night ever!
thank you for or reading, or not reading all but at least seeing this post hihi :*
Love you all!
