Open bar is one thing...the question is if you're able to drink enough before they close!I am extremely serious. -

Sure. The only problem is the lack of time (the concert ends pretty late) and the fact that I'm checking out and heading for London the next day....
Don't worry Thor, being Irish I have the ability to find an open bar if one exists! As for your early check in the next day I'm afraid I can be of no help in that department...
It sounds like there's a good solid 12 hours of drinking time there for Thor to use unless his flight is really early. -

It's pretty much non-stop drinking from Thursday to Monday -- at least! I had aimed for the big "drinking out" evening to be Saturday in London, because then you have a day afterwards to recuperate.I am extremely serious. -

Hi guys
We could meet at the Flanagans pub ( Schwarzenbergstraße 1, Vienna; about 4 minutes walk from the Konzerthaus) right after the concert. A nice pub. Had some beers there tonight.

Hi Thor
How was the interview? Had an interview too (scheduled for 10.10 am; actually happening by 11.05am... ;-) Horner was really chatty; was fantastic!).
Sorry, didn't realise you were there last night too... hope to see you tonight!

The concert was wonderful. Quite some event. Great orchestra, beautiful hall, exceptional music.
First half was decent - science fiction music, most of which I hadn't heard in concert before (some of which I hadn't heard at all before).
Hollywood in Vienna fanfare (Bruce Broughton)
Metropolis (Gottfried Huppertz)
Space Mountain (Steve Bramson)
Star Trek (Alexander Courage)
Voyager (Jerry Goldsmith)
STTMP (Goldsmith)
ST4 (Rosenman)
ST6 (Eidelman)
Star Trek (Giacchino)
Gattaca (Nyman)
AI (Williams)
Independence Day (Arnold)
AI was a particular highlight here. The second half, the Horner half, was a non-stop highlight.
Universal fanfare
Star Trek 2
Braveheart
Willow
A Beautiful Mind
Apollo 13
Aliens
The Mask of Zorro
The Rocketeer
An American Tail
Avatar
Legends of the Fall
Titanic
The Amazing Spider-Man
The Land Before Time
Encore: Gone with the Wind
Avatar was a long suite with synths and choir including a surprising amount of the action finale. A particular delight for me. But the whole thing was great. Hope he does more concerts now he has been shown it can work. -

Plenty of alcohol was consumed afterwards (and indeed before). We just confidently walked in to the post-concert cocktail reception with Horner, Newman and co. Got to bed about 4:30 this morning. -

Bloody hell, that sounds like a good concert. Totally jell! Did they play 'concert' version or original cues?

The concert was spectacular and the production (lighting/video) was top notch in an already beautiful venue. Great selection of scores all round (lots of nostalgic as well as goose bump moments). I'm not bothered at all with Horner not conducting, David Newman did an excellent job and it truly was Horner's night, the music was excellent to hear in concert. I was never that big a fan of Avatar but that suite was impressive.
Had a great time meeting people from various message boards/countries/... as well as visiting the historic city. And seeing Small Soldiers on the big screen with a great audience and Joe Dante, as well as discovering the parallels between it and Saving Private Ryan (don't ask) was very fun!

Did I miss something here,
I do recall having drinks after the concert with Jim, basil, John, Thor and my buddy Jack
but can't recall it was civilised.
Btw. SST members had a great time with a meeting with composers Bernhard Eder and Diego Navarro
on Saturday. Lasted much longer than planned due to the great atmosphere and lively talks (read wines)
Dutchbatwow, that was fun, let's do it again (Donkey in Shrek) -
