some days ago, esther and i tried to figure out at what point our muse escalation actually started. well, we've been into the band's music for many years, but we've never been as obsessed with the band as we are now. obviously. it was pretty hard to point that out, because we had the feeling that the state we are now in already last for a while. but after an exhaustive research we found out that it just started three months ago. so that's the record of our muse escalation so far:
mid february 2010: our friend naischel aka the guru started to post her 30 seconds to mars fanfiction which i read regularly.
early march 2010: esther and naischel came to hamburg on esther's b-day and to see 30stm playing in the sportshalle. some days of real hamby craziness.
late march 2010: i was bored and started to check out other fanfiction storys on fanfiktion.de. i found out that there were even stories about slipknot - and about muse. so i started reading them. told esther about that and she tried to convince me to buy the muse champion lounge ticket for the bern gig this summer. unfortunately, i had no 300 euros for doing that.
easter, early april 2010: being at home with my lovely girls. being able to complete my music archive on my mp3 player - finally!
18 april 2010: following muse on twitter; discovering the musewiki; posting on facebook: "i'm in love with muse".
19 april 2010: started to make a research on muse via youtube and from that day watched almost every fucking video on there with dom, matt and chris. posting them furiously on facebook for esther, making all of my other friends mad.
starting to write the first chap of my muse fanfiction and telling esther about it.
facing her with the serious plan to go to see muse live this summer.
facebook entry's saying: "okay, i'm starting to get obsessed"
22 april 2010: wearing my dom-dedicated green throusers and ordering "out of this world" by mark beaumont via amazon
25 april 2010: the plan to go to wembley in september grows in our minds... maybe also caused by the haarp vids and twitpics we consumed.
facebook entry: "okay, i need to stop that muse thing". two of my fb friends liked that.
26 april 2010: facebook entry: "dom, i love you. now it's said!"
28 april 2010: wembley! tickets! bought!
that was the point of no return. sometimes we got the impression that the level of escalation is getting lower - but it's actually rising again every fucking time, even higher! it really feels like being thirteen and a boygroup fanatic again, but much better because this time we know it's worth it for the music. only for music! and because this band is unique and epic. these guys really are.
this week we booked our flights to london. our whole live is directed to that week in september. we're on our way.
