and very nice it'll be, too, in venice.

happy hols!

One of the things I wanted to do in life is to see a concert at the Arena di Verona. Now if it turned out to be Leonard playing there indeed this would mean an x-potential fulfillment of a dream.

Hotel is booked just in case.

Thanks to Andrea and Paul !

I too hope this one happens, then again I think I will wait to see where he might appear on his birthday

That's what I was thinking too. What colour would you suggest for candles?

I saw Pearl Jam there in 2006, fantastic venue & City

Same thoughts here. I'd love to see Leonard on his birthday. Roll on Monday until we get answers. I did check does Ryanair fly to Verona though and they do

I like seeing Italy scheduled so far out.
I would LOVE it if our getting a TOUR 'schedule' on Monday would result in people deciding to come to the Madison Event, after all... knowing they wouldn't be missing out on seeing Leonard!

Hope you're right, lizzytysh - I'm sure Joe, Anne and others have already put HUGE work into the Madison event, but to be honest, if it comes to Live Leonard versus Madison - minus - Leonard, no contest !!!

I hope the powers that be have taken this into consideration...

Apparently Verona is the closest to this part of Europe. One hour by train from Venice, according to D-Bahn website. So Ken expect me on Santa Lucia station in Venice on 7:30 am on train from Budapest-Zagreb..... We will see about hotels later. The most important thing is to get a ticket in FIRST ROWS now. Other cities seem way out of reach because I cannot afford flying for 200, 300 Euros right now. Maybe in the last moment decision.

Easy, Tom If the rumours prove to be true, there will be plenty of time between the first date (August 12th) and the last (September 25 so far) for a lot of more cities closer to your place. I don't say you shouldn't book a refundable room in Verona (like me) but the chances for a closer venue are quite good IMO and I hope we'll meet in Austria, Slovenia or even in Croatia or Budapest

I just realised that I traveled to Verona in 2007 for a big Italian Leonard Cohen meet-up... viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9478&hilit=verona+gathering

Now, why do I *not* remember seing any arena? (going mad )

But I do recall a photo of me holding Giulietta's, khm, breast was made...

But surely it was fast and nice trip, taking Budapest-Zagreb-Ljubljana-Venice overnight train and then 1-hour train to Verona.

Not sure about it, but I'm afraid that train doesn't exist anymore
