At the end of August holidays I was waiting September, it is true they were approaching a lot of responsibility and decisions that I could no longer put off, butfor a while I would be surrounded by 'an absurd weekend, it was born a bit by accident , a little bit because of my obstinacy ..
7.00 am
Direction: Bologna
Occasion: I-Day 2010
First things first, September the 4 at 7.00 in the morning we directed at a festival in Bologna where three of our favorite bands played, what to expect? Really we had no idea.
Discovered the show through "Independente Concerti" in February we bought tickets anxious to hear bands like Simple Plan, Sum 41, Blink 182 and get to know the All Time Low.
Organized from home we had take a room at the Zanhotel Tre Vecchi, a double with private bathroom, television and beautiful views.
For this' occasion many people went to Bologna, the city was also crossed by other concerts, so we had the fortune to enjoy a good offer 84 euro one night for two, then 42 euros per head.
Friendly staff, breakfast very good and lots of guys and girls like us waiting for the concert! After a lunch in a restaurant near the 'hotel, then we took the car .. Near the Arena Parco Nord we left the car in free parking and we headed to our destination .. row long but fluent, if you'll go leave at home caps of bottles, cans or glass bottles or dangerous object.
Given the tickets we found the entrance, at the beginning of an exciting and unexpected day! The ways to go to 'arena are numerous, check the website of the city and depending on your needs!
Lo spazio è organizzato con un grande palco, uno spazio asfaltato davanti per chi volesse restare sotto al palco e poi una grande distesa d' erba, che inizia appena a 50 metri dal palco... ed è li che ci siamo sistemate, vista perfetta!
The space is organized with a large stage, a paved area for those who want to stay in front of the stage and then a large expanse of 'grass, which begins just 50 meters from the stage ... and that's where we settled, perfect view!
You'll find one or two places to eat, a place for souvenirs and several bathrooms, although more than one will always have row 'cause the ability of the 'arena is at least 25000 people! In addition, you can bathe with several hydrants 'cause, at least the past year, was really warm!
In addition, you could bathe with several hydrants since at least the past year was really warm! So necessary items: a hat and \ or bandanas towel to lie down on the ground, water and a sandwich!
After a while began to play the "All Time Low" band who did not know but you need to know! Excellent live music are great despite the heat that was on stage, was just the first afternoon and the sun was high.
E poi ecco arrivare sul palco i Simple Plan, non li avevo mai sentiti dal vivo e sono eccezionali!! Suonare sotto il sole che dava proprio sul palco senza mai fare un errore, tutti i migliori successi, il palco è loro quando sono in scena, sono fantastici, è uno spettacolo che non bisogna perdere, emozioni davvero grandi, incredibilmente forti che mi avrebbero accompagnato davvero per molto tempo e che mi hanno ispirato più di quanto potessi immaginare.
And then here come on stage, Simple Plan, I had never heard live, and they are great! Playing under the sun on the stage without never making a mistake, every song was perfect, all the best success, it's a show that should not be lost, very big emotions, incredibly strong that They would accompany me for a long time and that really inspired me more than I could imagine.
Dopo una pausa verso le 6.00 del pomeriggio sono arrivati ..................... i SUM41!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After a break at about 6:00 pm arrived ..................... The Sum41 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A concert with many of their successes, all the people was ready to jump and to sing with them. A great show on stage !!!!!!!!!!!!!! They involving very large number of spectators !!!!!!!
E ora l'arena attendeva il gruppo che aveva lasciato tutti i suoi fan di stucco quando una decina di anni fa si erano separati, nessuno sapeva cosa aspettarsi dallo spettacolo dei Blink 182!!
And now the arena waiting for the group that had left all his fans stunned when about ten years ago they separated, no one knew what to expect from the Blink 182 show!
By now the day was memorable than what else could happen ?!?!??!
Già la presentazione del palco dava la carica a tutti coloro che erano lì, famiglie, fidanzati, amici, skater, gente vestita in modo normalissimo o completamente diverso da ciò che si vede normalmente in giro, eppure tutti li in allgria pronti a divertirsi e ad osservare tutti coloro che si erano travestiti come tanti dei personaggi dei video musicali.
Even the presentation of the stage gave energy to all the people were there, families, friends, skaters, people dressed in a normal or completely different from what you normally see around, but all of them happy to be there together, ready to have fun and look at all those who were dressed like many of the characters in music videos.
Lo spettacolo dei Blink 182 è stato eccezionale, i migliori successi cantati in contemporanea da 25000 persone, se è stata un ' emozione indescrivibile per noi e credo che lo sia stato anche per loro..
Blink 182 performance has been fantastic, the best of success singing at the same time even by all the pubblic!!
E alla fine come spettacolo di chiusura il batterista è stato bloccato alla postazione della batteria, la pedana si è alzata ed ha iniziato a girare di 360 gradi mentre lui suonava un assolo stupefacente anche mentre stava a testa in giu!!
And in the end as a closing show the drummer was stuck to the location of the battery, the platform stood up and began to spin 360 degrees while he was playing alone, was amazing even when he was upside down!
Siamo uscite dall'arena con ancora le note della giornata nelle orecchie tutti persi nei momenti che stavamo passando, così dirigendoci alla macchina siamo salite e abbiamo inserito un cd che aveva alcune canzoni della giornata, prima di entrare in hotel ce ne siamo andate a mangiare un dolce simile ai waffle in un piccolo locale ispirato a Parigi li vicino e mangiandocelo in camera ci siamo preparate per una bella dormita!!!We left the arena with the notes of the day in our ears all lost in moments we were passing, so we go up, directing the car and we have inserted a CD that had some songs of the day, before going to the hotel we went to eat some cake similar to waffle in a small shop inspired to Paris and we eat in the room prepared for a good sleep!
I made a few pictures of the room and I think you can have an 'idea.

Dopo una bella dormita, ci siamo sistemate vestite e volate a fare una meravigliosa colazione a base di moltissime cose dolci, salate, panini, torte, pesche sciroppate, che mangiata!!!
After a nice sleep, we dressed and go to a wonderful breakfast with a lot of things sweet, salt, sandwiches, cakes, syrup peaches, wow!
Take our baggage, we went to pay and we have requested to leave this for a few hours in the hotel and the car to the parking, so we can visit the city freely, the staff was really kind!
Decise a visitare questa bella città ci siamo avviate tra mille strade e stradine, sotto ai portici, alla torre degli asinelli, e in tanti altri bei posti tipici della città; inoltre la città era attraverstata da un evento sportivo, o meglio da tanti piccoli eventi sportivi che mostravano atleti cimentarsi nelle arie attività, dal karate allo skateboard e tantissimi altri sport.He decided to visit this beautiful city we walk between roads and streets, under the arcades,"La Torre Degli Asinelli", and many other beautiful places typical of the city.
The city was crossed by a sporting event, many small events showed that athletes to play different sports, from karate to skateboarding and many other sports.
I Will return to Bologna because we did not have enough time to visit the city, that really worth to be seen for more than a few hours.
Dopodichè ci siamo avviate a pranzo, trovato un buon ristorante, per il quale tuttavia c'era molta fila cosi ci siamo ritrovate in un altro buon ristorante e dopo una bella mangiata dovevamo ormai tornare alla macchina. Riprese le valige eccoci di nuovo alla volta di casa e inserito il nostro cd siamo ripartite.
After that we started at lunch,foundeed a good restaurant and then we had to return to the car. Take the bags at a time we're back home and put our cd we back home again.
Al prossimo viaggio!!!!
To the next trip!!
