Wait. What am I doing here? Oh right... a blog, review, whatever... but for what? Rock am Ring 2012 I guess. So, where do I start?
I think I should start with the camp and the arrival. So, I was supposed to meet up with a friend near the Nürburgring. Well, he was a bit late, but when he finally arrived at the meeting point we got to the campgrounds at Rock am Ring pretty fast to get our wristbands.

I´m happy, that I´m writing a review for AdieK84´s Blog, again :-).
We drove to Berlin at 1:30PM MET, arrived at 5:30PM MET. For Info: my best friend went with me to the concert.
After we had arrived, we went to the waiting area of the venue and I met a few friends, that I know through the internet and of course Adam from LPUHQ. At 6:30PM MET the entry to the venue opened.
My best friend and I were the first persons to enter and we got the passes for the show....
Dear diary, uh excuse me, dear reader: I'll tell you a story about the most amazing weekend EVER!
After a three hour train ride on friday morning with a good friend of mine, we finally made it to our first festival ever!
I've been to some concerts before but festivals are really something totally different.
We had Centerstage-Camping-Tickets which means that our campground was close to the main stage where the headline shows take place. We were pretty late and our campground was already full but the (VERY friendly) security helped us to find a nice spot for our tent. And it was perfect, really!...
After four sleepless nights, it has finally come!!! LINKIN PARK; ROCK AM RING!!! Here we come =)
My second LP concert and my first Meet+Greet. I´m so nervous.
We left the campsite at 5pm to see some bands before the Meet+Greet. We went to the Centerstage and saw Cypress Hill, Kasabian (They look so great) and Gossip (Damn, Beth Ditto is so crazy and she got an awesome voice!). Gossip played until 9pm and because the M+G was at 9:30pm we went to the venue. Slowly it was full of people. Sure, LP is playing tonight!! ^^

Throughout the day I really met some awesome LPU members. Meeting some of them for the first time after chatting a lot on the community. Besides them, there were also some great Belgian LPUers I already met at Werchter (Belgium) last year. I’ve also met Adam (LPUHQ) for the first time (at 3 PM), we were supposed to be working as “roadies (together with Pascal and Lode) for the day” but we ended up being “roadies for the hour”, haha! Even though it was pretty much impossible to recruit new members (unless you gave them an additional M&G pass for that day in return), Adam is really awesome, he took the time to chat and hang out with us for couple of hours, even during the show... ...
