Back to Thread List "Dear winner, Congratulations on winning a pair of tickets to see Dengue Fever perform live at Peter Gabriel's studios on Tuesday 25th November." I discovered an e-mail starting in this way was in my spam folder at the end of last week. I was stunned. I'd always wanted to visit Real World Studios, so in a few time I decided to go. The evening before to leave, I received an invite from B&W saying that Dengue Fever will be introduced by Peter Gabriel. I was very happy! I left soon on tuesday morning, and in the late afternoon I was at Real World. There were some refreshments in the Wooden Room. In that occasion I talked with two people from the Web Team, and I wish to say that they are really nice people. We talked about RWR, after this conversation I understood that most problems in RWR managing are due to the fact that there are too many Real World websites to manage with respect to too few people. I hope that in the future that will be a change in this sense. Anyway, it seems that soon there will be something new to remix. Dengue Fever concert was in the Big Room. I have imagined it bigger before. The concert was great, I liked a lot their music. A part from Tiger Phone Card, the only song I knew before, I remember they played Mr. Orange and Sober Driver, this one I liked a lot. Voices of both singers were great. But maybe at this point you can imagine that to me Dengue Fever music was only a fantastic soundtrack for a meeting that I was waiting from so many years: yes, Peter did a little introduction to the band and he stayed there during all the concert, so I had the occasion to have a word with him. My first though was for this site, that I love so much. I asked to him if he listens to our stuff, and he said: "Yes, sometimes". I was very happy to talk for a very brief time with him, to me it was a dream come true. I wouldn't be what I am without listening to Peter's music. Now I wish to say that in my opinion many people went away from RWR because of too many expectatives disappointed. But I think that sometimes personal dissatisfactions conduct us to expect too much. I think this place should have to be taken for what it is: a place to upload remixes. And which used to host such a fantastic community. RWR taught me something new and I can say that my journey on RWR went parallel with a personal growth. To me no goal could be greater. :-) Posted by Tethia on 2008-11-30 14:25:34 | 167 Posts Tethia, Thanks for sharing. You were very lucky to have discovered that e-mail in the spam folder, too. What an very well rounded musical experience you have had. And so fortunate to be close to the concert location. ( Unlike me here in the middle of the North American continent!) I think to have experienced hearing the music live after remixing is a little like seeing the movie after having read the book sort of :-) Not really though because hearing the actual is the best of course! So happy for you that you enjoyed the day. Now after such an enlightening musical experience you will probably have some new remix music ideas to share. In the depths of the subconscious lies some new musical ideas perhaps? Looking forward to hearing new works from you and (everyone else of course). :-) Posted by Susy1214 on 2008-12-01 02:36:09 | 188 Posts My darlin Tethia, It does my ol heart (which is really no more now than a lump of coal) good to know you've had this wonderful experience. I am so happy for you. I hope it will be a memory you will cherish forever. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. That shows how good a "human bein" you really are. Even tho I'm just an old curmudgeon with a pruny old heart I still can revel in the joy of those who are truly deserving of what little happiness they might receive in this ratty assed ol world. And you, dear Tethia, are worthy of this and much much more. I'm glad also that ol Pete was on his best behaviour and didn't bore ya for hours on end with his own imagined magnificense or be poon houndin ya all night long. He really can be a decent chap ifn he thinks you can't do nothin for him. But, again, I'm awful glad you had the experience and now know that it's there for you, in your heart, whenever you need it. Yor ol pal, DR Posted by Doghouse Riley on 2008-12-01 04:32:13 | 366 Posts Yeah, thanks for sharing that day Tethia! Your opinions about RWR are very interesting. Maybe that competitions are at some point kind of knife having two sharp edges., gives excitement but may leads to disappointment for various reasons. Best, c Posted by Cremonensis on 2008-12-01 17:26:38 | 13 Posts Great News!! :-) :-) :-) Thanks Tethia for sharing with us this fantastic experience!

The way you've described this great moment you spent is a gift for us ( simples mortels ). I wish I could go there and prepare some french cuisine in listening to some new musical stuff !
