First words; f* awesome!
I went there with a good friend of mine Tina and her sister Darja, their parents drove us. After 3-4h of driving, asking random people for the direction  and stopping by in Graz to get the tickets, we finally got to Wiesen.
Around 8 o’clock, trading the tickets for hand bands, hiding the cameras in the baggy pants and “decolte”s we finally got in. 
There we some shirt stands where I bought a Serj shirt, which is unluckily a way too big so a hang it on the wall at home later on.
We mixed with the crowd and suddenly find our self in a mosh-pit which helped us to come pretty near the stage.
We just got in as they were preparing the stage for a band called “Gogol Bordello”, some gypsy folk punk band. They were pretty awesome and wetted the place with some red wine I even caught a water bottle from the bassist! 
As we got till the 2nd row there was a guy in the 1st which felt in love with a dice bracelet Tina wore. He got it after making some place in the first row for us After a while, Tina and I both got into it!
As the Bordellos went from the stage, the guy with the dreads Kedaver and another guy with a Sziget festival shirt came to help packing the stuff away and build up the stage for serj.
After some sound checks the place got dark. The crowd went totally insane when the fcc ran up and took some pics of the crowd! Starting to play unthinking majority [I think  ..i was a way too excited to remember properly] Serj came up. Everybody screaming as hell and baucing around. A LOT of people were crowd-surfing and we got our head kicked pretty often
After a few songs serj started;” You guys are awesome! It’s a really honor to be in this small city, at this festival! In this great county called Austria!” The crowed once again flipped out!
They played the whole ETD, girl, charades, sounds of war and the ABBA-money version It was just awesome!
Before Lie, Lie, Lie, serj was like; Do you guys know Borat? You saw the film? How about Romeo and Juliet? well if so, What happens if you take Borat and romeo and let the FUCK each OTHER?!
nothing, you get LieLie Lie Lie liee!
After they left stage, the whole crowed started to yell : “Zugabe!, Zugabe!” which means something like “we want more”
And so they came back! started to play a Jazz-y song which I heard for the first time, and Empty walls for the final song. Troy and Jeff threw a few picks and drum sticks and waved. The crowed screamed and cheered as they left the stage.
The than started to pack the stuff together and build up the stage for Apocalyptica.
We took a walk around to check the place out more we were at. There were 1000s of Scars stickers stacked to the floor. Really A LOT of them all around the place.
We got on our way out, to the back side where they were packing and loading the equipment on a truck. The place was surrounded by a fence and security so we couldn’t get in. There were a few other fans waiting for serj.
Kedaver went outside and some fans asked them to sigh their shirts. He was pretty in hurry so he left pretty fast.
after a while Mario walked out of the building and the security let him through the fence. The serj fans that were waiting there didn’t react. I was really surprised  he just walked past them as I yelled Mario! and he lookd at me with a smile. We asked for a photo and signs which we all got. We thanked him and he US a hundred times, with hands put together he was really nice and sweet!
time passed by and more and more people gave up hope seeing serj.
than Jeff came and we asked him for a photo too he had his hair put together 
I was pretty confused since the other fans that were there had no idea who the guys were till we asked them for photos and signs. 
Erwin came by from the other side. He was THE ONLY one who the fans recognized! He got bombed with pens and papers
afterwards we asked him for pics and signs too. He really is awesome and fun
Troy came out too, we got photos and signs and all the stuff man! he is TALL! At the photos, either he or I got cut out a bit
After 3h or waiting there, serj still didn’t came out…either got dan.
We missed the whole Apocalyptica show, so I can’t really say anything about them. We just could listen to them. Sounded awesome!
After their show was over, serj came out. BUT he didn’t come to the fans. He got into a van behind the fence. And I think he was together with angela cuz he gave her a peck in the car a far as I could see.
The van than drove away and the fans were pretty pissed.
I just couldn’t stop me and started to run behind the van so did Tina and Darja.
And im happy I did! The van turned to a parking place, where the bus was. Erwin was standing out side. We went there and he greets us nicely. He was like: “You guys where there right?” pointing into the distance. after we changed a few words we asked him if serj will come out? he was like; um don’t know... oh, there he is!
My heart almost stopped as he came and said: Hey, nice to meet you! and shoke our hands. I was like; omg…actually I even said It
he asked us how we’re doing and and he was really nice!
We said that the concert was awesome and that we had a great time. Than we took a pic together! I couldn’t think really, I was like dumb.
than we took another group pic cuz he was in hurry. He signed my ETD and cool gardens an than quickly disappeared in the bus.
Than some more fans came by, but he was gone already.
We were like…the only people who got to met him there and after we walked a while I just had to scream out loud
We got to the camp later on to some Slovenian guys we met before. Trying to teach some austian duded how to pronounce “nazdravje” which iterally means: "to your health" and is a cheer said before drinking in slovenia
It was an AWSOME night! one of the best nights! 
I still havn't really realized what happend
