LISBOA PORTUGAL (Sept 10)
Re: LISBOA PORTUGAL (Sept 10) ON SALE NOW
Yes!!!
I must say I am so happy that I've jumped all around the house with a huge smile on my face. You see, I knew that if this had to be the weekend. After September 1st it's difficult for me to travel during the week, and there was just no way to travel to any of the other concerts without missing a day at work. My only hope was that there would be a concert on this particular weekend, and that it wouldn't be too difficult to get there from Mallorca. The idea of Galicia wasn't too bad, but only last week I was telling my husband how nice it would be to see Leonard again. And then I added "in Lisbon". I adored the audience at the Pavilhão Atlântico last year.
So, my husband called me this morning from Portugal to tell me about the concert and now I've already got my concert tickets (6th row this time) and my plane ticket. So, I'll see you all again in a month. I'll get to Lisbon a few hours before the concert and I'll barely have time to go to my friend's house (yes, I'll be using the same sofa, and I'll be attending with the same friend...) and then to the venue. But I'll be staying until Sunday in the afternoon. And I hope I'll have the chance to meet you for a glass of Super Bock somewhere.
I'll go jump around the house some more.

Yeah, leaves early and gets in late to Dublin though meaning its a longer trip than I could do. Nevermind, if I win the lotto I'll charter a plane and fly us all out there It'll be a great gig, the audience were great last year as well as the whole band themselves, so to you lucky people who are going, enjoy!!

Re: PRESALE TO LISBOA PORTUGAL NOW
I know how you feel, Sceachgeal, I've done the same !sceachgeal wrote: a certain madness took hold and I have booked VIP row tickets for Lisbon anyway!!!
Thanks to Jarkko and Heike I got in before the presale ended. Direct well priced Aer Lingus flights from Dublin and tickets much cheaper than in Ireland proved irresistible. Hope to see some of you there !

Re: LISBOA PORTUGAL (Sept 10) ON SALE NOW
Hotel Tryp Oriente 4 stars. Good reviews.
beside concert venue, airport, train station and the fourth biggest aquarium in the world (I like fish)
€64 B&B on http://www.eurobookings.com or http://www.solmelia.com
After seeing the concerts in Sligo I couldn't resist travelling to Portugal, reasonable flights and accommodation and a front row ticket that was less expensive than the cheapest available sligo ticket!

Re: LISBOA PORTUGAL (Sept 10) ON SALE NOW
Hello Catwhiskers!Of course I will, but how could I stay home with Cohen playing in Lisbon. I hope he is careful to change the set a little this time. It was very nice to hear "Story of Isaac", "A singer must die", "Avalanche", "Lover, Lover, Lover", "Memories" and why not "Joan of 'Arc" ... me and Isabel VIP Row B seats 11 & 13...catswhiskers wrote: Is BLUEBIRD going??
ps:High point will be heard again Famous Blue Raincoat again (preferably with the sax solo harmonica instead of) See ya next September 10...
Coliseu dos Recreios Lisboa 1988, Passeio Marítimo de Algés Lisboa 2008, Pav. Atlântico Lisboa 2009, Pav. Atlântico Lisboa 2010 (Meet Cohen at a cafe on the main Lisbon's avenue on the concert's eve), Pav. Atlântico Lisboa 2012

Yes,I agree.I am up for a time and a place.Bearing in mind my knowledge of Lisbon is nil--just hope i can find my hotel
Also my knowledge of the language hasn´t improved since last year
But if anyone has any suggestions--i would dearly love to meet up.xxxxxx

Re: LISBOA PORTUGAL (Sept 10) ON SALE NOW
Last year my friend and I went for something to eat before the concert to a place which is very close to the venue. There are a lot of bars and restaurants nearby, and there is a lovely long garden with a fountain. Maybe that could be a good place. Or... even better, give me a few days, and I'll ask the friend I'm staying with. She will provide suggestions for places to meet and all the details on how to get there by bus, metro or taxi. My friend is now on holiday in Alentejo, but I will tell her to register here when she's back in Lisbon.
I was afraid that school might start on the day of the concert because I hadn't checked when I bought the tickets. Good news is lessons start on the 13th for most students, but mine will start on the 22nd as I will be teaching older students. This means that I may miss a meeting, but that shouldn't be a problem at all.
I'm counting the days.
