<p style="text-align: left;"><i>Hi Stevie, </i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>Hope you’re okay, and I’m sorry for you not being able to get on the
bus. </i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>I <b>1</b>) {#1} (<b>tell</b>) you to better plan your
travelling to the station so that you could make it on time. We <b>2</b>) {#2} (<b>wait</b>) for almost
an hour until the bus arrived. By the time it departed, we <b>3</b>) {#3} (<b>even</b> / <b>ask</b>) the driver to hold on for ten more minutes, hoping you would
come. However he refused to do it as he had his schedule to follow. So we gave
up. We couldn’t miss the concert as Val and I <b>4</b>) <b></b>{#4} (<b>try</b>) to get the tickets for months. I
was a bit upset that you <b>5</b>) <b></b>{#5}<b></b> (<b>not</b>
/ <b>show</b>) up on time and <b>6</b>) <b></b>{#6} (<b>lose</b>) a chance to see the
band. </i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>Our trip to the arena, though, was smooth and the concert was
impressive. I <b>7</b>) <b></b>{#7}<b></b> (<b>never</b> / <b>be</b>) to such a
massive event before. </i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>We <b>8</b>) {#8} (<b>arrive</b>) at the venue by seven in the evening,
but we had to wait for 2 hours to get inside. Needless to say, that was
nothing: a large crowd of fans <b>9</b>) <b></b>{#9} (<b>jostle</b>) at the entrance since the morning. When we entered the VIP
area, the event <b>10</b>) <b></b>{#10}<b></b> (<b>already</b> / <b>start</b>). </i><i><span lang="LT">Some unknown Brazilian band <b>11</b>) <b></b>{#11} (<b>open</b>) the show. </span>Val was very
tired because he <b>12</b>) {#12}<b></b> (<b>not</b> / <b>sleep</b>) well the night before. By the
time <b>Vortex</b> appeared on stage, he <b>13</b>) <b></b>{#13} (<b>drink</b>) three
energy cocktails. Fortunately, it helped. He stayed alert during the entire
concert. </i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Vortex</i></b><i> played perfectly. However they <b>14</b>) {#14} (<b>make</b>) some
unexpected changes in their tour line-up. Guitarist Diego Pratt couldn’t
perform because he <b>15</b>) {#15} (<b>injure</b>) his hand while skydiving the day before. So some young lad <b>16</b>) {#16} (<b>take</b>) over.
Also you wouldn’t have seen your <i>favourite </i>Gabrieli Antonio. The folk were
talking that he <b>17</b>) {#17} (<b>not</b> / <b>receive</b>) a visa to come to the country
because of his aggressive behaviour when crossing the border the time before or
some previous misconduct, such as alcohol and drug use in public. He <b>18</b>) {#18} (<b>abuse</b>)
illegal substances since the band <b>19</b>)
{#19} (<b>become</b>) famous. But we were surprised by how his replacement,
Jovani Garcia, from <b>Tahya Devils</b>&nbsp; <b>20</b>)
{#20} (<b>nail</b>) down all his keyboard parts. You should have seen this. I
took some short videos of his performance with my phone. I’ll show you what
you’ve missed. In general the band played a lot of songs from their new album
and some interesting variations of their older tracks. The stage production was
amazing too. They <b>21</b>) {#21} (<b>use</b>) colorful lasers lights and smoke to illuminate a giant pyramid
behind them on stage. Those were the coolest rock visual effects I <b>22</b>) {#22} (<b>ever</b> /
<b>see</b>). </i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>At the concert we came across our mate Rodrigo. He <b>23</b>) {#23}
(<b>hang</b>) out with us for a while until
he suddenly disappeared with his girlfriend in the crowd. He boasted that he <b>24</b>) {#24} (<b>meet</b>) the
Vortex vocalist, and they <b>25</b>) {#25} (<b>have</b>) a little chat backstage before their show. But I didn’t
believe him. He <b>26</b>) {#26} (<b>lie</b>) to
everyone too much. He <b>27</b>) {#27}<b> (also / promise)</b>
to call me after the event to give us a lift to the hotel but it never
happened. We had to walk all the way down. </i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>Today we are travelling back home. It’s been a very lovely trip with
lots of unforgettable moments. We’re going to plan another one soon. I hope you’ll
be able to join us this time. I see you soon. </i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><i>Love, </i></p>
