After spamming y'all with my gig pics (haha), here's another try on a gig report:
Joker Out in Munich Strom, 26.03.24
- I arrived rather "late" for queueing, at 15 o'clock. Got nr. 50 general access, which was more than fine. The queuing people were really nice and lots of bracelets and fan art were exchanged.
- the weather conditions were so much better than in Cologne and the venue had way more infrastructure around (restaurants, shops with toilets).
- the venue itself is rather small. The stage was packed with the four boys in the front. Jure wasn't easy to spot ☹️ but no barricade!
- Sector 5 and JC Stewart were performing really well. People were singing along and cheered.
- Kris seemed to be on better terms health wise. He smiled and was more expressive with his face.
- they were given lots of gifts and crowns. Unfortunately, there's still people throwing stuff on stage. One item even hit Jan 😳 Guys, don't do it, please!
- besides the regular tracks, they played Omamljeno Telo (😍) and Barve Oceana. New songs were Sta Bih Ja and Schlager
- At some point, Nace circled around Jan and he kept on pirouetting
- Not to forget the ALMOST kiss of Kris and Nace: Kris was grabbing Nace's white button-down and shook him affectionately. While pulling him close, his face got super close to Nace's.
- UM was done without Bojan in the crowd. He tried keeping it short, kinda, but... Well... Lots of Slovenian versions, one from a child from the crowd, a Finnish one, German and Swiss-German.
- Jan and Nace were snickery hubbies again. In Cologne, Jan wore a white shirt, in Munich it was Nace. I'll just leave that information for you
- All in all, it was a good and joyous concert.
- After the concert, the boys had headed to the bus quite quickly. Jan was seen shortly, but other than that mainly Kiki and Dean. They have a gig in Milano today so they probably had/wanted to leave early.
- But that gave us time for a spontaneous Tumblr meeting. It was so lovely to talk and interact with you 🫶

R&J Clown Takes Special Edition—R&J Are Regular Pollyannas, Doncha Know
From a Good Omens meta at that. Ay, ay, ay.
Juliet believed the Plan (by the Friar, not hers) was so foolproof that she went into a whole 50-line soliloquy about all the things that can go wrong with it, including the Friar possibly betraying her and herself going mad in the tomb and playing with her cousin’s bones (!!).
And Romeo was there a full half hour and mourned for her in a 38-line soliloquy about 10x longer than Juliet’s. Homeboy did not go gently into that good night.
So there is obviously this need to depict R&J as bubbly airheads with nary a dark thought in their heads. Makes sense, of course. How else are you going to victim blame and insinuate their deaths were their faults?
Meanwhile Shakespeare depicts the lovers almost as neurotic as he would depict his Hamlet. Romeo definitely tends towards the melancholic disposition and Juliet frets and worries and even snaps at her nearest and dearest. And of course they have lines foreshadowing their very tragic end—almost as if they subconsciously know it.

even is nowhere near an engineer, but they are, by necessity, a quick learner, and by nature, someone who will acquire whatever skills they think are necessary to make themself invaluable. combine that with the fact that the Doctor’s TARDIS is in a constant state of on the fritz/in need of repairs/just being tinkered with by him because he’s bored, and they do pick up a few things. (and obviously, to someone whose entire life has been dependent on their ship Functioning Or Else They’re Fucked In Deep Space, the TARDIS being damaged even slightly is stressful! they want to know how to fix it! they won’t die immediately anymore (probably) if the ship they live on malfunctions, but it’s hard to shake that instinct.)
Which means even does have a pretty thorough knowledge of how to repair and recognize TARDIS parts. Without really knowing what they’re doing, but knowing how to figure out a solution, even if they have to brute force the answer. Think of it like trying to do physics without having any understanding of calculus and instead having to use algebra — completely possible, but frustrating and much more likely to lead to mistakes — AND also the guy teaching you is a substitute teacher who speaks in a language he made up for his D&D group half the time and if you ask him what a word means because you can’t understand what the fuck he’s saying, he goes off on tangents about the etymology of it, forgetting that he’s supposed to be teaching you. physics. they have the world’s most convoluted understanding of how a TARDIS works, but like. about 75% of the time they can identify what’s gone wrong and 50% of the time, they might even be able to solve it themself if they can find the right tools. (*success rate will vary depending on level of stress they’re under.)
(to a much lesser extent, the same goes for piloting, although that’s much more cause-and-effect observation combined with information the doctor throws at them in the heat of the moment. which leads to a knowledge base that’s a bit like not knowing how a car’s steering wheel works, but definitely knowing where both the blinkers and the accelerator are and how to make use of them. even very much cannot fly a tardis alone (or, not effectively. MAYBE through space if they’re under pressure, but they don’t have the sense for time that time lords do. not hooked into that matrix.) but they know enough to be very useful to someone else flying one who can direct them.)
