IVIED

Well that’s what I asked myself two times recently. The first time was on Sunday when I originally planned to go to Maribor/Slovenia to watch the Nissan UCI Mountainbike World Cup downhill race. But well, the evening before it came to me that I had left my passport in the flat in Vienna. As I don’t have a Personalausweis and didn’t want to risk being checked by the Slovene police I didn’t go But I learned from that and directly went to the Magistratisches Bezirksamt on Tuesday and ordered a Personalausweis. Well I still had to go and have a picture taken that complied with the current regulations.

And yesterday I wanted to go to the FM4 Überraschungskonzert with Fettes Brot at the U4. Well I didn’t win a place on the guest list and so I wanted to get there at about 20:15. But actually (because I didn’t hurry up in the end) I arrived there at about 20:35 and obviously didn’t get in because there was a very long queue in front of the entrance. So I waited there for about 90 minutes still with an estimated 70 people in front of me until at about 22:00 they told us that they had reached the maximum capacity of 600 people.
And then I thought how could I ever not hurry up and be there as planned and thought that otherwise I would have got in. But after I read this article I didn’t feel that bad about this whole thing any more. Maybe next time I get in again…
