Maybe it was Fortunas excuse for the bloody poker mess I´ve been thru lately, when I got a call on Tue this week from a radiostaton, telling me I´ve been one of 25 lucky winners of two tickets for a private Maria Mena concert on Fri night. She´s only 22, but had quiet a lot of success across Scandinavia, Germany and Austria and for all of you who don´t know her, clicky!. At first glance not the most hetero sound in the world, but seriously, I´ve never heard such a great voice in my life.

One of my friends and fellow SSNL grinder was excited to join me, so we rented a car and drove down to Frankfurt. The concert was supposed to take place on 53rd floor of the Main Tower in FFM, 187m above the streets of the city which was the sickest location for live music I´ve been to. So we arrive in Frankfurt, staring at the huge buildings. Apparently, we´re living in a more rural area, where the church is usually the highest building across town, every time I´m in bigger cities with 50+ floors buildings I feel pretty donkish and how I am lucky that I didn´t get there with a pick up truck, listening to country music and wearing a farmers overall. We get to the location early enough to have a couple of drinks in the tower bar at 187m height. Chairs are standing right in front of the windows and I´m stoked by the view from there, thinking to myself "Thats why they take 9 euro for longdrinks". Around 10pm MM began to sing for a mind blowing 30 minutes. It was so amazing, to see this pretty girl singing with so much passion and emotions, having the citylights almost 200m below our feet. I guess we were totally 11 for those 30 minutes. The gig ended way to soon, we got to chat with her for a while and then headed back home. Good times.
