Arriving to Ekaterinburg...
My biggest impression about Russian train stations: lots and lots of stairs without any comfortable options of luggage transportation (no lifts or anything). Or maybe we didn't find them. I am not a strongest person and my suitcase was quite big. I could roll it just fine, but staircases of more than 4 steps are a big problem for me... But I was helped, sometimes by my friends and sometimes by strangers, if there happened to be any gentlemen among passers-by. ^^
In Ekaterinburg finally, after Siberia, we found some snow!
Arriving to the concert hall, we've found some people standing in the queue already... And the venue was in such region, were it's really hard to get, somewhere on the outskirts of the city... Anyway, there were enough people. Though, could have been more if the promo-campaign was bigger (same goes for all the cities).
We started to spread the flashmobs-stuff right away, already in the queue and then in the hall as well.
We had glowsticks of different colors, that could be made into a bracelet, paper harlequins, plastic confetti and origami flowers.
Our confetti (part of it) We packed it into small bags folded from A4 paper sheets, so that each person could put his or her small portion of confetti to a bag or pocket, till the right moment comes. We were doing this in the train, and our compartment was aaaall covered in confetti
While standing outside the club we had to draw the faces for Harlequins, and here I discovered that I forgot how to draw, so I suppose that the ugliest one was drawn by me
People in the hall with our harlequins
And here is how our glowsticks looked like when made into a bracelet. Some people were holding them like sticks and some were wearing them like bracelets
We started to make paper flowers months beforehand, I made 100, my friends even more, but without the help of others, our Marina too, it would have been too few. (I loved making these flowers while watching movies at home).
Some paper flowers, made by me
And of course we met Marina too, she was helping us a lot! She wrote a report here as well so I won't show you the pics of setlist and our paper flowers, you can see them on page 2 of this topic
During the show our Ekaterina had to move to the bar because she started to feel dizzy in the crowd, so she made some videos and allowed us to show them here. Her video of Revolution is the best one if you want to see the confetti flashmob!
It was an amazing show! Finally a standing hall, previous ones were with sitting places.
After the concert an the hotel we couldn't decide what we want more - to eat or to sleep... So part of I decided to sleep, others went to eat. So we went to some steakhouse to have some meat (we need energy for our bodies!), and there was a heavy, massive snowfall... Luckily it was not too far to go
We didn't meet such snow in any other city on our travel...
So... then - the plane to Moscow.
