LISBON

Post by catswhiskers »

HI everyone
Thought i would start my own thread.Who is coming again to see Leonard in LIsbon? The same crowd as from last year?? Are you all equally excited as I am--to see the master again? Truly amazing--this will be my fourth experience.What are the chances of maybe meeting this great man,back stage,I wonder? Oh--how I wish.
Love to you all.

I'm going again this year!

This time I'll be staying at a friend's house, but last year I stayed at a very nice hotel called Vila Galé Ópera. I booked my room at http://www.bookin.com, because I remember it was cheaper to do it that way than calling the hotel. I've looked at the receipt and I paid €77 for a double room. The room was quite nice, it had two separate rooms, one with a double bed and another one with a double sofa-bed, so I guess more people could have easily slept there. Actually, the hotel was pretty interesting. I stayed on the first floor, which was labelled "pop-rock" and my room was called "Janis Joplin". ;)

Yeah...behind the Oriente railway station, it's very easy to find it...there's a lot of bars in Parque das Naçoes close to the venue and the Tejo River...with some luck maybe we can find the "great man", shake his hands and saying to him "thanks for your wonderfull songs and your great music"... :D

Hi.
Can anyone tell me if Mr Cohen will be able this July to be with his Portuguese fans after the concert? I just want his autograph... :(
I truly truly truly truly truly want it.
Is that possible?

Leonard in Lisbon again!! How fortunate. I was fortunate to see him in Calgary this year after seeing him last year in Lisbon, and I wish you all such a wonderful experience the second time --My venue this time was a little easier --a concert hall that seats only 1800--I hope that you can relax and focus only on Leonard, well and the various wonderful musicians in the band. --I loved it again and am sure you will too.
