Thank you @rouketas For One Of The Greatest Gifts I Have Ever Received

Just returned from my visit on Athens for the first annual Greek Steemit Event, "Kopi To Pita". Well, I won't say much about the event as @ruth-girl, @skapaneas, @filotasriza3 and @otsouvalas already covered it in extent. Just click here, here, here and here to read their posts.

Instead I want to thank one of the coolest guys I have met thanks to Steemit, @rouketas for a gift he made me. And not just any gift. A gift that will stay engraved in my memory for ever! What kind of gift? The gift was a ticket for a live concert:

The gift was very cheap, just 10 euros. But the chance to see a live featuring "Ενδελέχεια", "Υπόγεια Ρεύματα" and my all time favorite greek rock band "Magic De Spell"? Three greek rock bands that nurtured my childhood and my teenage years? All three in the same night? And even some of their songs played simultaneously by all three of them?

That's definitely a priceless, one-of-a-time experience! All three played amazingly, way way better that the album versions and they played their rock from the heart. And I got the chance to see live some all time and favorite classics that bring back all kinds of memories like:

Βουτιά Από Ψηλά (Dive from High, much like cryptos these days!) 

Με αρέσει Να Μη Λέω Πολλά (I like to say little)

Εμένα οι φίλοι μου (My friends)

Serajevo

And so many, many others! I also had the chance to listen to some newer ones for the first time. Here are the translated lyrics from "ΠΡΟΓΟΝΕ ΠΙΘΗΚΕ ΕΣΥ ΤΙ ΛΕΣ" (Ancestor Ape, What Do You Say?) a song that put me in some depressive and dark thoughts:

I will place a swallow in a cage

I'll put trees on my balcony

And a balloon to grow

That will go bam and kill

Ancestor Ape, What Do You Say?

How do you see the new markets?

Brussels Berlin Marrakech

Ancestor Ape what do you think of us?

Do you feel proud or you cry?

New York, Santiago, Bangladesh

And if the snow covers them all

I will fall in love with Persephone

We'll ride the moon

With a hammock and a pillow

Ancestor Ape, What Do You Say?

How do you see the new markets?

Brussels Berlin Marrakech

Ancestor Ape what do you think of us?

Do you feel proud or you cry?

New York, Santiago, Bangladesh

The world is trembling like yesterday

Other times are coming

Fantastic, Chaotic

The prisons will be destroyed

Ancestor Ape, What Do You Say?

How do you see the new markets?

Brussels Berlin Marrakech

Ancestor Ape what do you think of us?

Do you feel proud or you cry

New York, Santiago, Bangladesh

The only bad about the experience was that the place was full of teenagers and adults in their young 20's. People who had no idea about the legends they were watching. People who just came because they had nothing better to do. People who couldn't appreciate the feelings, the tears, the fears, the laughs, the pain, the love, the alcohol and the high behind those songs. People that were chit chatting, playing with their phones or just stood still recording the whole live with their phone... WHAT THE FUCK?

Still, I had a blast! Thank you again @rouketas

You are an A-OK guy in my book. My gift was so crappy compared to yours. I will try to make up next time, although I doubt I will manage to come up with anything as good as yours!
