Incredible Unnecessary Necessary Laternen Joe flailing Post
I still can't believe it, but monstakarotte and my really got tickets for
LATERNEN JOE aka die ärzte's secret concert tour!!!!!!!
Now honestly I don't think anyone from a not-German speaking country will understand why I'm so hyper - but Latern Joe are no other than DIE ÄRZTE's new fake identity for their secret tour.
After nearly 8 (?) years I can truly say that I'm a die-hard fan of them ♥ ♥ ♥ If I think back, die ärzte are probably my very first experience with fandom per se back in the days when I'd only listen to "real music" LOL - my former self would surely kill me for listening to J-Pop now (>_<)
When Elli phoned me last Friday to tell me that there would be concerts of a band called "Laternen Joe" in our Orpheum (cool and quite small concert hall in my hometown), I didn't know that I would go like !"$%"$§!"ASEF§"!TZT!Q" a few seconds later, when she told me that the name "Laternen Joe"was most probably ("like 90%") a pseudonym for none other than DIE ÄRZTE ^^
The real cool thing is that they make a secret tour through smaller cities using a different name and without making any direct promotion so that they can play in quite small locations (normally they play in large venues like arenas and stadiums). Tickets were limited to the inhabitants of the area the concert is held and only available through their homepage. We even had to state our names and passport numbers so that the tickets cannot be sold illegal o.Ö (Sounds quite Johnny's-policy like to me acctually.)
And I think I nearly died of heart failure because of the f****** ticket purchase procedure - first the site died on us several times, then Elli's credit card was rejected (~:~)´ We even met this morning before lectures so that we could buy the tickets the minute the official online ticket shop opened. Oh, and a friend of us also got her tickets after some trials.
So I'm just really, really glad that everything worked out in the end - LATERNEN JOE, we're coming!!!

Oh, I just realized, maybe someone of you actually wants to know what die ärzte sound like, so I searched through YT for a bit
