http://www.nohavica.cz/_en/koncerty/konc_aktual.htm I'll be at the concert in Chicago. A friend who's getting the tickets tells me he's pretty sure he can get me front row seats! I'm so excited!
In the link below, I posted my favorites from Nohavica: http://www.myczechrepublic.com/boar...&postorder=asc&highlight=czech+music&start=10
Thanks! I think I need to brush up on my czech. I had a hard time keeping up. I no longer have anyone around to speak czech with, so I'm pretty rusty.
The concert was AWESOME!!!! I'm in 2 pics on Nohavica's "on the road" part of his site. I'll share some of my own pics later when I get them on the computer. That's me in the pink with a glass of wine. I asked the guy for wine and he said "co". I again said "the wine you just put away". He gave a blank face. I said, "vino" and suddenly I had wine. It was fun being in my own country and still having to speak czech. There's my husband and I in the corner, front row.
Congratulations Dzurisova So you made it. What a great venue too. Nice and intimate. More personal than getting lost in the crowd. You've always got such a great smile. Did he sing Darmodej? How about Když mě brali za vojaka? I would have loved that one. Such a good one to sing along to. Thank God you knew how to say 'wine' in czech, right?
So is that why in the first picture you've got the big smile, and your husband looks so grumpy (he didn't seem to get any)?
Yeah, Martin didn't have any wine yet or beer for that matter. He dropped me off at the door and went to park the car, several blocks away. So we were coming as as I greeted him at the door. I guess I could have been nice and got him a beer when I got my wine huh? Yes, David, he sang both those songs. He also sang kibicz’ favorite one about the snow. ) He gave a long introduction right before it. I didn’t understand his words, but I understood the word snih, so I knew which song he planned to sing.
Could someone scan this article and tell me if it says anything about a broken window. The pics show one with someone getting hurt and I'd like to know the story behind the pics. Thanks http://www.nohavica.cz/ontheroad2008/2008_10_14.htm
Next to last paragraph. But the evening has a completely different ending. After the concert we're talking in the garden of the broadcasting station, and Michael returns to the hall through the really transparent and clean glass with the assumption that it is an open entryway and he smashes into it. A 2.5 meter plate of glass shatters, falls, and cuts Michael on the arm.(maybe hand) Two doctors from the line attended him and helped take him to the hospital. Last paragraph says he returned about three in the morning with a bandaged arm/hand. Four deep stitches and 23 for the skin. He is a lucky man, it was really close to the tendons. Very lucky.
Lucky guy! They should have put some sticking sign on the glass. Here you can see that so much cleaning might be dangereous :wink:
Excellent job David! Didn't know you were that fluent already! Wish I had the energy to work as hard as you do at it. Thanks for your help.
Katko, , that's rich, believe me I am far from fluent. Thank goodness for dictionaries. That concert sounds like it was great. There must be a big Czech community up there. Tough break for Michael though.
Next time Nohavica decides to tour in the US, they apparently won't need a visa. See: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27243160/
