19|07|2004 Palladium Koln.

The Palladium is a venue at the other side of the street from where the E-werk venue is.
I went there with the 1996 tour and this “palladium” venue looks more modern.
At the supermarket we did some lunch shopping’s and we took our lunch on the stairs of the Palladium.
And well...some other people did have a hotter "lunch", whoppers from the Burger King!
This tour I spoke with myself not to take to much vet and eat well ...so I did.

We had some online tickets and we saw the box-office.
Security told us that the box-office would open some minute’s before the doors of venue would open, so that we all good go inside at one time.
And you know what they did, the persons who had box-office tickets did go first inside, just a few seconds before the people with the normal ticks!

See how Lucky Lucky can be... but I was feeling bad for the people who arrived the same time as us.
This was not something MEIN had decided, it was the venue owner who decided this.

Inside the venue I stood right in front of Philip and we sit down because it was only 18:45 so we had time enough.
I didn’t have much space and with the running inside, I had hurt a muscle in my leg.
So I asked a nice lady behind me if I good spread my legs < lol>, and good hang on to her back for a while!
Nice German fans... I gave her in the meantime a back massage lol.

Then Medea looked at me and says:
” Look to the left and up...”
So I looked to the left, looked up but what I saw nothing was nothing strange, it was one of the dice’s who hanged up there!

“No Angela... to the left and up” .
So I looked again to the left up and ….I got the biggest smile on my face ever!
My girl….my beautiful ... Miss Diamondshoe!!! <right now I have that smile again on my face>

I waved to her and gave her a great hand kiss and blew it to her, she gave me on back.
So sweet (she is crazy to lol)
So I showed her my cell phone, but she made some hand signs that she didn’t have hers in her pocket! hihihi

So I wrote on a sign “U + Me photo Antwerp?”
She made some hand signs again showing that she was behind a computer and emailing me lol
She thought I mentioned the picture she has taken from me in Amsterdam, and that she is going to send it to me...
So I just have to wait and see.

But I know for sure this picture in my head is not going to "format C".

Here some other great highlights:

- The crowd was amazing and on the song MBCFM we had tonssssss of confetti

- On the piano she played the song “How would I know”.

She told a story about .."the saddest album ever, that everything went so bad at that time in life!".
“I knew”, I said.
“Yes you knew (looking up to me), why didn’t you gave me a call.” <laughing>
“ Well, I don’t have your phone number…remember”.
Another cool lucky tour interaction with Melissa!

- Melissa had much contact with Tammy on the balcony.
Tammy hide herself sometime's behind pillar (?) so that Melissa couldn’t seduce her ;o) and taht Melissa would give all her attention to the crowd instead of Tammy!
On the song "Will you still love me" there was much more eye contact between them than the rest of the show.
This was so sweet to see ...the love in Melissa’s eyes.

And on the rocking dancing songs Tammy had her dancing diamond shoes on ,swing baby swing lol.
Arms high up in the air with Giant…
