Today I decided to tell you a little bit about my last weekend, actually only my Saturday. I went to a concert with my little cousin, Iris, and her best friend Bianca. This was her birthday present as well as mine, as we both have our birthdays in November and my aunt gave us the tickets as our gifts.
First of all I'll give you some information on Casper, as many of you might not know him.
Casper is a German rapper who was born in 1982 in Germany, but right after his birth his family moved to the US as his father was American. His parents got divorced, however, and when he was eleven years old he moved back to Germany with his mother. He didn't know any German at that time, but quickly learned it and today you can't even notice a slight accent.
His first album Rap Art War, a collaboration with two other Hip Hop artists, was released in 2004. But soon after its release the trio separated and Casper then moved on to some other projects like a Metalcore as well as a Hardcore band. Luckily, this was only a phase and he then returned to rap.
Casper released three albums since then, Hin zur Sonne (2008), XOXO (2011) and Hinterland (2013).
Right now he's promoting Hinterland on his tour, and I have to say, it is an amazing album.
So, we left Salzburg on Saturday at nine in the morning heading for Vienna. A friend of my aunt has a flat there but always spends the weekends in her hometown, so we had our own flat right between Mariahilferstraße and Naschmarkt. When we arrived in Vienna we first went to a Chinese restaurant that was right around the corner, and afterwards we went shopping. All of us spent a little too much money, but hey, it was like a holiday, so who cares! ;)
After a few hours all of us were exhausted and we returned to the flat to grab a little food and make ourselves pretty for the concert. ;)
When we arrived at the Flex at around 7:30 and we still had quite some time to wait, but we had a lot of fun and didn't really care.
The supporting act was AHZUMJOT (pronounced like the German a zum j), in case anyone knows him, and he was really good. I didn't know him before, but I actually got interested in him and will see if I can get some of his music.
He managed to get the crowd in a really good mood and everyone was happy and motivated when he left the stage.

^^Iris and AHZUMJOT - he turned out to be a funny guy! ;)
My cousin and her friend were not directly in the crowd because they said they wanted to really see Casper, so I was in the middle of unknown people all by myself, just dancing and singing and having a good time! ;)
I'm really happy that I went to that concert as I had so much fun there and Casper was just pure awesome! You could see that he actually had fun on the stage himself and enjoyed it up there.
Afterwards we purchased some overly expensive t-shirts which were worth every cent.
^^ Casper :)
So, it was a really cool evening, I had a lot of fun with Iris and Bianca and was listening to great music, what else would I want? Thanks for that. :)
In case anyone's interested in Casper now, here are some of my favourite songs by him:
