Okay. So here's the thing. Tokio Hotel is playing in Monaco on July 5th. That is past the date I said I would return to Canada. I have been watching all the fan websites very closely, all through their earlier scheduled concerts in Europe. I was so upset that all the European tour dates were before I was there, because I would just DIE to see them live. But don't worry, with my ISIC card my dead carcass will be shipped back to Canada for free. KIDDING! Anyway, Bill got an infected throat mid-march, and all tour dates were cancelled. They have been rescheduling them and they are playing in a TINY venue in Monaco (on a street, basically). They are also playing at Parc-Des-Princes in Paris, but that venue holds something like 49000 people. So I've been trying to figure this out. Do I have enough money to get me to July 5th? And to MONTE CARLO, no less? Nice is only 13km out of Monaco, so I could easily make it back without paying extravagant accomodation fees. But! Can I manage 76 days away from home with $4500? Not without making an extended stop in the Red Light District, I can't. Here are my options. I could easily find work abroad for a few nights, working in hostels or nearby pubs. That might be a little harder in places where I can't speak the language...but I do have an advantage because I am a solo female traveller and people are generally more open to helping a chica out. I could make a grand effort of using http://www.couchsurfing.org/ quite religiously and staying with people, but feel as though I may lose out on potential travel buddies that way. I'm not really sure. I am CERTAIN beyond a doubt that I will do anything to see both Miyavi and Tokio Hotel in Europe. That would make my life. I've loved both groups for years...and I don't want to miss out on this chance. Anybody have any red lights I can use?
P.S. Both Miyavi and the members of Tokio Hotel are all BOYS. Not GIRLS. And they are not gay. Stop calling them gay.
