Dear Jarkko,

nice!! What is the "winner of Leonard Cohen Lookalike Competition" going to get as a prize? Front row tickets for the Venice concert? ;-)

I'm almost as old as Leonard. Does that count? All you that are going to Venice, I am so glad for you, enjoy, and I hope you have beautiful weather!

The ticket office may have issued some more - they are flexible with the rows! Ask them.

A lookalike?
Oh come on, Jarkko, don't try to fool us... Better tell us where to get one of those Cardboard Cohens and how much it is... ;-)

Hi everyone, being in Venice yesterday it has been like to be in a fairy tale, the weather was orrible when we got to Venice, a strong thunderstorm, a bunch of water that stopped something like 30 minutes before the beginning, then more then two and a half hours of music.

meraviglioso.
