Hola mis amigos chilenos / Hellowww fellow Chilean Melon heads,
Okay, I am unfortunately never much on this forum as I usually dont have much interesting things to mention or announce. But this time I would like to call up on the Chilean Melon heads as I know ther are out there!!! I will be flying to Santiago around February 18th for a stay of approximately 2 weeks. Besides work I like to see maybe some cool things around and/or rock and meet & share my Melon stuff with the locals!!
Anyone out here from Santiago or Antofagasta?
Adios amigos, greetings from Amsterdamnnnn
Paul Kramer

Hey Barbera!!! Thanks for sharing this valuable information with us! See you there!!! hang loooose! Paul Hey lovely melon people! Thought I'd make a thread dedicated to everything related to Spain shows and ask who's gonna be there in November? As for me, I don't know yet but I'll try! And I hope they add more shows in Europe. It would be wonderful to take a melon trip again! Until then, melon on! #whitedancesmilie#

Hey hey hey!!! Melonheads! Let me post to say I will definately be going to Barca!!! I will bring a bunch of guys with me!! Awesome to have you guys playing in Europe again. PLease also try AMSTERDAM this time!!!! You guys have been there before, and it would be a bloody shame if you would not give it a try. I recall Christopher having played here with his other band in a small venue. I could easily call out 2 venues that would perfectly suit Blind Melon and the ambiance! And as a bonus, I could hook you up with Jan Douwe Kroeske. Blind Melon knows the guy, because he mixed your 2 meter session in the early 90'.... Anyway, once you guys were in Milano some years back, I was in contact with JDK and he wanted to dedicate a radiosession to promote the for my friend album.... unfortunately Blind melon management was not interested..... :S and hence no Amsterdam stop over! You could reconsider! In anyway, 7 nov I'll be in Barca, maybe you can play Amsterdam on 4th November on my birthday! yay! Melon forever!

Jowww finally a message from my side stealing wireless kbits right now in my room in Croatia! Anyway, the show was amazing, it felt different to finally see them on this continent. Can't wait for more oin the Spring. The crowd was smaal, but very intimate and most of them were just real real Melonheads singing their hearts out! That's what we want. The guys recognised us ( Barb, Vince and me) from our times in the States. Damn cool! They left and we kept going till .... a.m. heheh! WHen it was getting light again we ripped a poster from a wall with Blind Melon on it. Yeah, and the best is that they get better and better ( only I think they play less songs then the shows in beginning of 2008). Is that true or does it just feels that way? I will not make it to the vigil, but I'll be checking the board.
Love you all. Vince and Lilie, very very awesome to have met you again and we will soon or later with a Melon or Hip tour. Good things in life are never ending. Great to have seen Barb a few evenings, since Croatia is around the block. Time to go, sun is shining and going for an icecream!
Ciao you all Paul

They should ROCK OUT ALLLLL THE WAY on their last sow in Europe for now... and especially because 4 major melonheads are up in front, you know Barb, Vince and me getting to the States to see the new Melon for various shows. And Lillie doing the impossibe!!!! thing years ago in order to be close to Shannon... The Milano night deserves a double encore! hehe ;-) I will start driving in about 5 hrs from now, still need to pack heheh Ciao bella seeeee eyou alllll Paul Heyyy, can't wait to see you guys in Milano! ;D I hope your trip is going good Lillie, you're probably on your way right now! Rogers said that he expects a low turn out in Milano cause he thinks the promotion was bad. From what you said Lillie, I hope he's wrong! ;D

Okay... grrrrr my mind is twisting me to insanity... I guess I was never a decider heheh ( till a certain point...) ANyway, just talked to Nel and finally after 20 times not reaching her I finally got a hold of her!
And mannnn it's gonna be wild, crazy maddness and actually it made me think of again a CHANGE I might skip my holiday in Italy (which I also very much need...) but safe soem more money instead to book my plane to chicago!!! and be presnt at this very special vigil.. I might even be able to bring out the Amsterdamn pole up on stage before the band gets out there! (The pole should always be out there!)
Anyhoon, a direct flight is now 600 eur...... what to do, let me tell you guys tomorrow!
Cheers, I feel like flying!

I feel the same way. 3 shows and crossing Europe.... Doesn't seem to be a smart tour either, in terms of financial point of view. Anyway, yeah let's hope they come back soon. Travis seems to be blown away and I still have a offer for national radio here in Amsterdam... hey mannn Denmark rulez, you drink Tuborg Golden Lady beer. It's the fucking best ever!!! ;-) skoll Paul if only they would do a TOUR and not just 3 gigs. they've been talking about doing the european tour for ages - and this is all we get!? very disappointing!

See you all in Milan, I'll be pushing my Alfa Romeo to Italy and after the gig take some vacation in the south of Italy... or elsewhere where the sun is shining! No London, Spain for me. Still toooo bad there is no Amsterdamn booked...I believe mister S. Hoon is disappointed as well!
Cheers boys and girls! Paul

wait, nice work who? the band? No! we want more shows here! no vacation for you! hehe... Well obviously I'd love to see them doing more than three shows but depending on cities they play, I might not be able to go to many anyway...like if they plain Spain (which is confirmed), London and Stockholm, it will be damn hard to do a roadtrip i could do it by plane but it would be a little extreme...and probably very expensive...which doesn't mean I wouldn't consider it. anyway, I hope you were very tipsy Heather and that you're mistaken And you dont mention Amsterdamn...... ?? :-) I bet they play here... first of all because of Shannon, second of all because of Travis heheh 3rd of all because I hope things work out well from what we are trying to accomplish.... Blind melon in Paradiso or the Mily Way is a MUST!!! Well Barb you know you're way up North by now...
