Title: Ever thought of coming to China ?
Post by: Draddi on Sat, 2005-02-05, 02:53:15
Hi guys,

I know, this might sound unusual at first, but have you ever considered touring in some places in China ?
I am asking that, because I've been in China on a regular basis on busines trips in recent years and found that there is a rather large metal and prog community here.
I have permanently moved over to China very recently now (so there is definitely one hardcore Arena fan in China accounted for now !!) and I think, that the guys here are in need of some really good prog  ;)
Consider the possibilities, I am living in a normal sized town here, which means, approx. 5,5 Mio people !!!

I am fed up with the fact, that there are only friggin' DJ's being flown in from Berlin or London over the weekend to play some HipHop in the Clubs and not a single bit of good live prog music is being played here.

So, I mean it, have you ever considered conquering China ? I think, the crowds are ready, venues are easily found and flights are cheap  :D
Well, if you should ever consider it, I'd be glad to find out more on venues and contacts for you.

And I don't even get started on how great idea this would be for a 10th year anniversary tour venue....(Arena Live in Nanjing, Beijing, Shanghai)  :P

Greetings from Nanjing

Hey, that sounds good.
So I will check out some places and agents and come back to you.
But give me a little bit time. Chinese New Year starts on Monday, so noone is working here for a week (it's like X-Mas). But right after that, I will check !

Oh, sorry... Got a bit internal (?) there... :-[ It's from the fact that HeJePi is known to me from the Shadow Gallery forum, and there I managed to start a new thread with her name as a topic, when in reality I tried to reply to a post she'd written in another thread. Must have been a twist of the mouse... ;D

She didn't mind having a topic in her name, so for fun I volunteered to start one here, too... :D

SORRY!!!!!

But I'm pretty darn sure I got it somewhere. Do you have a nack for being taken for a girl? ;D

Maybe I misread or misunderstood somewhere. It's a pity, though, 'cause you'd make a pretty cool girl!! ;D ;D
(I mean, you musical tastes...)

Again, sorry!
Deenfan, ryhmes with man.... :P

Hahahaha ... I never heard of that one :) I never hide myself, my user name might sound 'girlie' but it is the only an abreviation of my full name and double first name: Herman Jean-Pierre ... and you can ask anybody who speaks French Jean-Pierre (JP for short) is a male first name ;)

I got this username since ... errrrrrr ... 1984 when I enter university !

Wow, that took some time.... I didn't notice your reply until now!!

:-[

Pi is the shortest possible norwegian word for girl, so that might have something to do with it... Your full name reeks of man, so don't worry!!!! ;D
