A Day In Vienna

My Writings. My Thoughts.

I’ve been to Vienna this Wednesday (June 10th) together with a friend of mine to watch Korn playing live in the Vienna Gasometer. What can I say, it was great fun. Even for me who’s grown out of listening to Korn a loooong time ago. But geez, I can’t even imagine how much I would’ve orgasmed, watching sex-god Jonathan Davis’ hairy armpits dancing to the rythm of the music back 8 years ago when I was a serious hardcore fan of those fuckers. Today, it just seemed off to me and all I could think of was “Seriously, somebody hand this man a razorblade. He’s in serious trouble!”.

That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy my time. I was seriously very happy that it was basically some kind of “Best-Of” concert, which means the latest songs they played were those featured on the “Take A Look In The Mirror” lp back in 2003. So I could basically sing all the songs they played and headbang to the rythms. Pretty sexy. Ironically enough, I was even more pleased with the opening act, which was – to my suprise – Shinedown. A band I still enjoy listening to, playing some great songs that nobody knew besides me. I’m either getting old or my taste is already too underground. Either way, those fucking fans can seriously suck my cock.

All in all, it was quite an enjoyable day in general. Although we were basically hanging around the Mariahilfer Street all day long. But what can I say? There were so many opportunities to handle. The biggest one was – in my case – seriously visiting the Runch! comicbookstore where I found the third trade of the Transmetropolitan series titled “Year Of The Bastard”. That book is currently out of print so you can only find it used for about 50 to 150 Euro. I really have to thank Runch! Comics for selling it to me for just 20 Euro. It’s unbelievable how happy I am about this. So, if you are to Vienna one day and there is only one comicbook store you’d like to visit, make it Runch!.

Another great thing was our visit to Starbucks. This might sound strange to you, but for someone living in Austria, visiting a Starbucks is a BIG fucking thing. There’s only one in the whole country, and I was IN the fucking store drinking Hazelnut Hot Chocolate. AWESOME! But, oh boy, those bastard are costly. 4 euro and 60 cents for a fucking cocoa? Who the hell am I? Jenna Haze? (No pun intended)

To catch a glimpse of how exciting my day in Vienna was, I cutted a little something together for you. I’m sorry that the camera work is so unsteady, but I was pretty… drunk and I honestly didn’t give a shit. So you either suck it or like my hairy balls!
