LOL!! And I’m soooo looking forward to hearing “Computer dies”

Wow! It will be so great to see you play again! This is really great news!

Ps. Glad I’m no (semi-prof.) photographer…

I’ll be there at Dordrecht, and if possible in Turnhout as well!

Seriously, I’m smiling and being very very happy to be able to see you guys again real soon!

ANd of course: Another mini-meet!

My other camera didnt break last time in Hardenberg and I was right in front of you.. so camera does not equal computer ergo.. it’s safe.. and yeah I do plan on visiting you guys again.. with camera of course

Friggin awesome news, though I’m not sure to see you at one of these… A little too far away

Lori, you’re still welcome to come check out that Pod XT Live! Including but not limited to a drive from and to the Electric Castle if need be

I’ll even run a red light and chant “Breaking the Law” if you want to!

I will be in Rotherham if it kills me!

As for flying to far away places… We’ll have to see about that one this time

Well… if I can raise some $3000 odd dollars, Ill be there! If not… I might attempt the smiw from Australia…. which would be rather comical… seeing as I can’t swin…

Good to hear that the band is still keeping busy! =)

JIPPIEEE can’t wait to finally meet you guys and see you all perform live

hugs,
Gwen

I’ll be in Dordrecht and Turnhout for sure. And I am really contemplating going to Copenhagen since I have the complete week off…Hmm now get my finances together: Any place left on the tourbus? Will work for tickets haha!

Greetz Taz

Yay!! I might actually come and talk to you properly this time and hug you and get my picture taken with you! Wooo! I need to go shopping for a gig outfit now!

I’ll try to get to Dordrecht and Turnhout. The others are just too far away, and thus too expensive for this poor student, haha…
Though I’d be in heaven when I can attend just two…

Ciao, Rob

Oooh are you going to London too? Or just Rotherham?>

Oh and please please please please play EMbrace the Storm!!! Pretty please? It could be a birthday pressie as the gig is 3 days after I turn 19!!

Not to be a xenophobe, but alas, the US seems to be left off the list. I am extremely happy though to see that the band is still going strong. One day, when I’m rich, I guess I’m going to have to underwrite a tour of the US. Will the entire band be able to fit in my guest room?

Great news, but I hope you’ll find Paris on your way !

Great! Another Ayreon tour I won’t be able to see

But hey! Really happy to have the Lorinator back on the road again! Which means: A NEW TOUR DIARY!!! Yay!

he lori,

I have a big garden, hahahahahahhahahaha

Hugs,
Gwen

Hi All

Horray, the axe queen is coming to England with the Sopies. Can’t wait to actually see you and the rest of the band live, instead of just on a Dvd.

Bye
Cos

I know another date than the four posted

2 feb. Podium Hardenberg

I was just at the Gathering there (wonderfull show truly lovely) and when I got in it was written behind the entry desk. Which was just put up tonight.

HELL YEAH!

Those are GREAT news indeed!!!!!!!!!

I’m soooo happy for you really,but not so happy for me as I won’t be able to go to the you guys again… sigh…

Big Hugs!!

Hardenberg? That’s great!!!
Definitely going there.

To keep you even more updated, Yvette replied with the following concerning the Hardenberg gig:

“Well, that is unknown to me, and a bit strange as the band is in England the next day. So don’t write it in your calenders yet.

On a brighter note: we are looking into getting a gig up north somewhere. So fingers crossed.”

Seems like this whole Hardenberg thing is new to everyone (except the venue as they put the notice up)

The right direction? So, you leave your house and it’s generally just South for a few hundred more miles Ask for directions again later, when in Holland

Cewl! If you need a guitar roadie in Copenhagen… well, I’ll be there anyway!

(Now I just have to get you into Sweden Rock as well!)

You can add Helsinki, Finland on the 19th to the list of gigs as well…

Lori, for you that is leave your apartment, take a sharp left,cross the pond and ask for directions over there…;-)

Greetz Taz

It’s gonna be awesome to see you play again!! Already looking forward to it!!
How about another banana-contest?

Better brush up on that sauna etiquette

Can still only go to Rotherham

You going to London do you know? Perhaps I need to ask Yvette…Go to London anyway and play in a Park, I’d come see you

Lori, I hope you’ll get the chance to play in Sweden!

Hey Jen(Wade) I like that idea Passion in the Park has a good ring to it

Passion in the Park sounds like a great idea. A picnic basket with a nice wine, cheese, and bananas would be perfect with that.

I’m clearly on to somethign!!! Although maybe not in Feb…might be a tad chilly!!

Why not?? What’s wrong with things being chilly.. I’ve seen a lot of relations start on chilly larp events (something with sharing body heat and such it’s quite cute to see stuff like that happen)

Tickets have been ordered! Can’t wait for January.

Oh wait, I can, because we’re supporting Delain this month

Yay! Sheffield tickets on sale next week! Wish it was in Rotherham again though, I liked it there, nice and big etc. Will be there regardless though Watch out for me Lori!!

How do you know it’s Sheffield and why was I not informed?

Lori!!! you have quite a fandom over here in Venezuela, you should come to play here.

Says so on the Classic Rock society webpage who book all the gigs for SOP in the North of England!! http://www.classicrocksociety.co.uk if your interested.

We saw S.O.P. twice, in Rijssen and Hardenberg. The DVD is also beautifull (we were there!!). So in 2007 we will see you again, we hardly can’t wait.

Oh! it’s so sad… There’s no date in France :’( !
Maybe later… I hope ! I love your strat work; beautiful !
Vive la Suede

Hi All

“Jen (Wabe)” The link didn’t work, something is wrong with site. Is it definitely in Sheffield? This is getting confusing, ahh my head, 8-).

Lori can you Help with where and what dates your playing in England?

Second question, this is for English “John” and “Jen (wabe)” where can you buy inflatable banana’s.

Thanks Jen!

Woot woot! (anxiously awaiting more data. ehr..dates)

Joop#1

“where can you buy inflatable banana’s.”

I bought the first batch in a joke shop next door to where I work, and the second batch on ebay. I was buying loads so it worked out better to get them on ebay, because they came in 10’s. You could probably find single ones there too though. Don’t forget to draw a face on it

Or let the Soppies draw a face and text on it

Yeah, tonight it’s Mostly Autumn time for me

Hey Lori,

You’ll finally be able to test-drive your Finnish Sauna Etiquette!

I have just send an email to “poppodium Hardenberg, Netherlands” and asked about the show of Stream of Passion on February 2 next year.
The answer was: “no show, unfortunattely and also no new date.”
So now we have to travel a few kilometres more to Dordrecht or Turnhout.

Yeah the Hardenberg one was strange… I spotted.. posted it around on the ayreon and sop forums too.. and Yvette, Arjen’s manager saw that and jumped on it saying ‘heeey that’s not right’ so yeah still waiting if there will be a gig somewhat more to the east.

And if not.. SoP-fans on tour.. coz I sure as hell will have to see them again

“Stream of Passion return to the CRS on Saturday 3rd February 2007. Due to Rotherham venues being booked up we are taking the gig to The Boardwalk, Sheffield. Tickets are £15 (£13 CRS members advance) and will be available next week.”

I had my mate quote it on metalmonk.co.uk/forums

Just so you know

Oh and the Boardwalk is a smaller venue so book early!!

Mmmm I think it’s time we put those bananas on the Ayreon shop don’t you think?

Thanks, Lori! I got one that’s my size. 1.70m

I am now contemplating quitting smoking because I might die blowing that banana up if I don’t.

…

…

…

Nah, I’ll take the risk!

Cheers for the link Lori and thanks to the rest of you for the info.

I will try and spot everyone and say hi at the gig where ever we end up, (duh look for banana’s).

SoP: 25 January, Lucky & Co, Rijssen!!!

Hii Lori!!

I love your work on Stream of Passion!
I hope see SoP in Portugal, someday!
keep on rocking,
Play Like a Girl

Hugs

Damn you.. I found that first.. just wanted to wait posting it here until I had confirmation (not like last time with the Hardenberg date)

But I wanna be there.. with camera!

And it’s confirmed on Arjen’s website! So Rijssen it will be for sure (and maybe maybe Dordrecht, don’t know yet.. ).
How’s the planning and stuff going? You got time for some sight-seeing too?

Very good, very cosy, very near by.
Rijssen, here we come for the second time (and perhaps Dordrecht) !

Whoohoo, Rijssen, I’ll be there! (in case you had some small doubts running through your lovely head…)

Lori, wanna drink something at my house?
It’s not even a ten-minute walk away…

Yeah, after a lovely concert from Mostly Autumn, I’m again in heaven with this news

Hey Icey,

I’m sorry, I didn’t want to steal your scoop. I was just excited about this!

It’s okay.. that really sounded worse than I meant it I guess.

Although I do think that if Lori decides to take up on Rob’s offer he should invite all of us avid “Play like a girl” readers

Hey Icey, my house isn’t a plain café
Only VIP’s are welcomed, haha…

That’s what Icey said. “All of us PLOG readers”

We, lovers? Just good friends doesn’t have to be lovers directly… Well, you can take some other Soppies (Davy, Marcela?) with you — no problem…
Though I guess it’s not really interesting for other gentle PLAG-gers to come to my place

Nevertheless, I’ll wish you a warm welcome back in Rijssen

And if we all go, Rob’s neighbourhood will think we’re swingers … Eh …

Maybe Rob can take a wireless laptop and stream the whole performance through the internet!

Whaha, we got actually a huge field of grass in our street, which can store over 1000 people, I think… Enough space to swing out loud!

Euhm, you know what might happen to my laptop when Lori comes? I don’t dare to risk that

About finding out about gigs… the Hardenberg date was accidental.. they had only ‘published’ it within the venue on the night that I was there to see the Gathering.

As for the Rijssen date, Lucky had it online before Yvette had it out. And well as a photographer (and pretty much internet active person) relatively close to Lucky I use the messaging service of Lucky to keep me updated of gigs planned there. Kinda like an rss feed but then for email.

That’s how Im faster than Yvette.. pure coincidentally + internet active personality.

That’s three gigs already for me confirmed! I like it I like it

See y’all at Dordrecht,Turnhout or Rijssen! ( And still contemplating Copenhagen)

Greetz Taz

Yeah, the gig in Rijssen is confirmed for me! Two left now…

Hugs,
Robbo

A London show is EXTRA great!!

Hi all

Ordering my ticket for sheffield after chrismas when I definitely have the money. Cheers for the add Lori and Wabe.

How is it possible?
Still tickets available for Rijssen!

Hmm dunno.. dont care either if it doesnt sell out.. more space for us

The venue in Rijssen is pretty big… (it has actually plans to grow even further in the future).
Davy told me some time ago, he had some doubts about the tickets for Lucky&Co. He wouldn’t like to play in an empty venue, hehe…
So I promised to buy a ticket (I did), and ask as many others to come too (I did too — probably my cousine and uncle, and classmate and his brother will come).
Though I guess it won’t sell out before January 25th.

Come folks, come!

Two more tickets will be sold probably next week to me and my roommate, didn’t get them yet. I don’t know if it will sell out, but it sure will be full enough! Like last year with the DVD recording I hope… I’m dragging everyone along I can think of And I don’t mind if it doesn’t sell out, leaves more time for us with you SoPies
