Back from Frankfurt where I had a blast with the girls. The concert was absolutely fantastic and we managed to play tourists a little, which delighted me to no end ♥

The concert. One of the (many) things I enjoyed so much when I saw Panic! in Paris in May is how much fun they seemed to have on stage; how they played off each other, how would they laugh all the time and how they just looked like they were having such a great time - it does make for a wonderful concert experience when you're seeing a band really having fun like that in front of you. But it was nothing compared to the gig in Frankfurt. I don't know, they all looked positively beaming and just like they had the time of their lives. It was fucking fantastic.

I always thought Spencer had a gorgeous smile and all but that night he looked radiant. And I just love how the guys seemed to play to him even more than the last time we saw them; they'd regroup close to his drum and play/sing to him more than usual. Brendon turned towards him a lot. It was delightful to see!

And the best thing is? It wasn't just us thinking that, case in point Zack's tweet:

*feels so validated* \o/ If you want to know the setlist, it's on the pic he linked to.

Then, there was also this tweet from Dallon "Very fun show. Thank you everyone for picking us up. We really needed that". Incidentally, Brendon dedicated a song to the victims in Pukkelpop.

In bullet points and with no order whatsoever, some of the things I remember from the concert of awesomeness )

As usual, our personal photographer was there and Jem took pics and captured some of the songs. As a sample have Brendon singing Let's Get it On to Spencer (IIRC, he said that if he were to get naked, he needed to do it properly?) before breaking into Nearly Witches (both songs are on the video). And I think it's a perfect vid to show how much fun the show was. And how fucking awesome those guys are ♥ ♥

As for the touristy things, before we left for the venue, we had a stroll along the Main towards Römerberg, walked through the Archaelogical Gardens, visited Kaiserdom and had a refreshing drink in a nice little cafe between said cathedral and the place. Then on Sunday we spent a couple of hours at the Senckerberg Museum of National History, where we saw many skeletons of dinosaurs and other interesting things. Also, there were many pop culture references thrown in to make things even more interesting :-) After the Museum we were kinda dead on our feet, so we rested in a Starbucks near the station before it was time to leave.

Unrelated. If you ever wanted to visit the World of Sex and have some fun in the Gay Area? It's at 74, Kaiserstraße. I know because our hostel was just next door lol Actually, there were many sex shops in that street. We certainly know how to pick our hostels \o/
