2009 shapes up to become a great year! I used to go to concerts quite a lot in the 80s and 90s, but ever since ticket prices rocketed a few years ago, it's hard to afford even one concert by well-known artists.

So that's why I'm really hyped right now because I just booked my tickets for GREEN DAY (look at my signature and go figure ) in Berlin (October 7th), and they only cost € 44,-- - about half of what most other artists ask in a venue such as the O2 World. Thank you, Billy Joe, Mike and Tres!!!

Also, although they are definitely not *hip* anymore (like I would care), Massive Attack are going on tour this fall, too, and although I've seen them a couple of times already, I absolutely need to go because they are SO GOOD live!

Well, and next month, I'm going to get me a double-dose of Chris Cornell, so I'm all happy right now.

Furthermore, there's the new STAR TREK movie, and while I'm not a Trekkie, I have always been a huge SciFi-fan and having had the incredible luck to attend the premiere screening a few weeks ago here in Berlin, I can report that it is indeed a fun movie and, at least in my opinion, a very successful reboot of the franchise that will hopefully give us many more sequels to come.

Any thoughts on the new Trek-movie or anything else? I'm curious to hear what you have to say about this.

Live long and prosper,
Katzilla
