Hi BV,

Yes...it's all starting again!! Joey has left...Chris Bynum is leaving tonight....Dino is in Germany. Everyone is melding together once again into the UHTC mold. It's so exciting. I know of several fans who are enroute by car to Zagreb....flying to Salzburg. And several of us in the US are leaving either on Saturday or Sunday for Dublin! There is a lot of excitement in the air!!

See you soon!!! :D :D

Lupapromotion released PR that Leonard arrives to Zagreb today afternoon.

http://www.muzika.hr/clanak/27257/najav ... -dana.aspx
Uoči svog prvog koncerta u nastavku turneje, onog u Areni Zagreb ove nedjelje 25. srpnja, Leonard Cohen dolazi Zagreb čak pet dana ranije, potvrdio je organizator Lupa promocija.

U Zagreb dolazi u utorak, 20. srpnja, u popodnevnim satima, te će tijekom tjedna bilaziti grad u potrazi za njegovim znamenitostima, a same pripreme za koncert u Areni počinju u petak dok će generalnu probu napraviti dan prije samog koncerta.

Cohena će na turneji pratiti 10 vrhunskih glazbenika i 3 prateća vokala, dok se za cijeli tim brine preko 50 ljudi a sa sobom dovode i kompletnu produkciju.

Na koncertu koji traje više od tri sata, publika će uživati i u scenografiji koja podsjeća na mala i intimna kazališta: tepisi, teški zastori, glazbenici u odjelima i šeširima i prigušena plava rasvjeta koja dodatnu dočarava glazbu.

Posebna pažnja će se obratiti na razglas - tehničari će obaviti mjerenje kompletne tribine kako bi zvučnici bili postavljeni na način da se u svakom kutu dvorane čuje kao i u prvom redu.

Koncert počinje u 20 h dok se vrata za posjetitelje otvaraju u 18:30.

Svi koji još nisu kupili ulaznice iste mogu nabaviti na svim prodajnim mjestima Ticketpro.hr-a, a prodaju su ostale još za tribine po cijeni od od 350 i 300 kuna. Blagajna u Areni radi u subotu 24. srpnja i na dan koncerta od 10-20 h.

Here they say "one of the famous hotels in Zagreb" and that he has Mercedes E class on disposal...

Novi list is the rare good daily newspaper in Croatia - you can notice they have two frames with short news - one about our exhibition at the Rockmark bookstore, and another about 2011 studio album (which is actually shortened news from leonardcohencroatia.com).

…..after his israeli and phnom penh debacles perhaps you and paul could persuade leonard to try to regain some of his creditability by taking him along to the demonstrations on varsavska street….maybe an ironic acoustic performance with young luka accompanying leonard on guitar of democracy would be welcomed by the crowds:)

…see ya saturday….make sure there’s plenty of bottles of ožujsko in the fridge ….ta ken

On Facebook Hattie and Charley say they are at Frankfurt airport so yes they really are all on their way! Leonard in Varsavska street is a great idea but since the 150 people who were arrested are banned from going there for 8 days maybe somewhere near by ...

www.muzika.hr has translated the managers info from here about "no access to Leonard Cohen". Finally a sign of reason...

I am out of Varsavska events - my Facebook is flooded with it, and I am flooding Facebook with Cohen-in-Arena stuff :)
