Comments on: Got the tickets! http://mahmood.tv/2006/03/10/got-the-tickets/ An Arab man's attempt at bridging the cultural gap and trying to make a difference. Failing a lot. Succeeding once in a while.

I was dismayed to see the "top guys" in society (ministers etc) strolling in AFTER the concert started (and 3 songs in actually) thus disrupting everyone's mood, and then people just up and left throughout the performance. In the end the audience seems to have decided that they have had enough and the concert is over. Ok you might think that it was crap (it wasn't) but you don't have to act in this very disrespectful way, at least to the others in the audience (and I mean those who came late and those who left early.) Tonight is another concert and do hope that this scene won't be repeated... but somehow I think it will. Bad manners and rudeness.

After party? Mahmood? Mahmood the photographer is missed around the pits @ bic ;-( , one change to this years race is that those with grand stand tickets are entitled to do the pit walk but for 15 minutes :D … apart from that – - some of the team drivers & their crews tinker their cars after 9pm and if you’re around they invite you to hang out with them :D

apart from that… its almost the same other than the hot air balloons… pIzza is cheaper this year as well.. down from 10bd last year for a small sized one.

Will miss you at the F1 this year, I remember the first time I saw you, you where calling all these gorgeous girls to gather and take a photo with you. There must have been 10 of them with your arms around them, I felt so envious telling myself what a lucky guy. Of course you have to say that about your brother.
