MARS gig experience

It was on June 8th of this year! MARS was coming back to Holland, Tilburg this time.

After the gig in Amsterdam in March of this year I decided I was gonna see them as often
as possible! That was the night I became an Echelon! Just to feel the energy coming from the
crowd and the guys! It was unforgettable!

Anyways, I had to go all by myself to the Tilburg show, cuz the person who was coming with me,kinda stood me up LOL. Normally I'd just not go if I had to go alone, butI was gonna go no matter what! To see MARS ofcourse, but also cuz I knew that the Echelon would
make it one big family event! And they did. I brought a book to kill time, but I didn't need it.



I arrived at 11 am and before I knew it, I was chatting with all these girls (so many girls come to see MARS...I wonder why...) around me and I forgot about the time! It was flying! It felt as if I was talkingto people I knew for ages! But than again we had one huge thing in common, one solid base:30 SECONDS TO MARS!!! And what they do to us and I guess we found out that to all of us Echelon, they mean MUSIC, LIFE, BELIEVING and UNDERSTANDING! Everyone I met could relate to at least one of the songs... Amazing, that's all I can say!

Finally we were able to get in! I'd hoped that standing in line for almost 8 hours was gonna get me a front row view, but it was so crowded!! Where I was standing was pretty good anyways!
Unlike in Amsterdam where I did stand all the way in the front but I couldn't see Shannon (DAMN!) I now did have a few Echelon in front of me, but I saw all three of them!



Unfortunately a combination of not eating/drinking enough, a hot venue and the lovely Jared telling everybody to take 3 f-ing steps forward was my kill! I was about to pass out and I had to step out of the crowd... I never felt so down in my life! After months of waiting and standing in line for hours I have to miss out on the last 30 minutes of the show..??!!
I heard Jared, who sneeked as always into the middle of the crowd, do a little ALIBI and I kinda fell apart a little... But as the song sais I got back up again (I had to, the floor is the most comfortable place to sit) and I decided to got to the TMF aWARds, cuz MARS was gonna play there and I even bough tics to see them in Germany in December! Next month I'll
get my glyphics tattoo cuz I BELIEVE and I do nothing but listen and relate to their music!

So Jared, Shannon and Tomo... You can get a HALLELUJA!!!
