thanks to the fucking weather and rain and storm and all that, Orbital and Faith No More had to cancel theirs concerts
on Rock For People festival in Czech Republic.. i was there only to see Orbital and maybe FNM, but it was over before it begun.

when Flogging Molly finished their playing, all the people left and i stayed infront of podium waiting for Orbital.
when Paul came he saw my Orbital Torches t-shirt from 2009, i wave on him he wave on me and then i saw another
Orbital fan with the same t-shirt. this fan wrote to Phil on FB if it is possible to meet with them after the show, because
his girl friend is just now 30 and Phil wrote him it is possible so they would wait 20 minutes after the show.

so, i asked if i can also meet them and all will be happy :) but then 30 minutes before Orbital should play, the stom came.
and the rain damaged some Orbital equipment and theirs and FNMs gigs where canceled...

i was 3 hours in a car checking Twitter and Facebook and after some time the festival continued but without those
two big names..

i was wet, i was very unhappy, i was crying :( i paid for full festival, even i was there only for Orbital, i paid quite a sum
for petrol, i was nervous the day i was going to see them. i had O t-shirt, i had the wrist band from 2009, i had torches
prepared in my pocket just to put them on when they had started playing the gig. Orbital fan in full equipment - not too
many in our little country and then it was over, my dream shattered..

they played there in 2009 in Tabor, it was special gig, because it was 1st Orbital in Czech Rep. and it was totaly 1st in those
5 years break and it was in our small country! i was in april in RAH, i will buy ticket for Brixton in december, but this one gig
should have been special again thx to the meeting with the brothers..

i could shake their hands, thank them for the fantastic music they did and doing still, make some photos together,
but i could not now.. :((((
