I wrote recently about catching the Muse concert in Hong Kong, and here I am on the other side of that, somewhat tired, but pleased nonetheless.
Hong Kong rocked far harder than I could have imagined, and it was good to see that alternative music is alive and well there. The Asiaworld Exposition Hall is a monstrous building just past Hong Kong Airport, and the industrial grey concrete seemed befitting.
It's funny how the world works. Only the other day I was complaining to a friend about the lack of musical events here in Guangzhou (or, at least, musical events I'd want to listen to) and that if anyone did come over and play, someone such as Muse for example, I'd buy a ticket in a heartbeat. A couple of weeks later and I'm watching TV when an advert comes on for a concert... Muse are playing in Hong Kong - just two hours away. That's close enough for my prophecy! It took more than a couple of heartbeats, but suffice to say that I'm already booked in and feeling pretty pleased.
So today I am flying to Hong Kong, via the less exotic Frankfurt. I've already checked-in online, which is pretty amazing really. According to the web blurb I can collect my pass 30 minutes before take-off but... I don't think I'll risk it just yet, and will arrive my dutiful 2 hours in advance. Despite being a computer nut, I'm still sceptical of these things actually working in the real world.
