Hi, haven

[goldenheart96]

So he'll definitely be there? I only ask to be sure. Because the words MK and award show in one sentence make me suspicious  

[Love Expresso]

Wow, Richard Chamberlain, the Klitschkos, AND Bochum...
sounds like a really great and posh show! 

Not sure if I want to see MK under this circumstances...

Hey, but it's MK, and I used to like Richard Chamberlain! I even have the Thornbirds on DVD...  


Joke aside, I'm also not sure if I'd want to drive three hours just for a glimpse... Not if I have to pay the 175 EUR

At the APRS Presentation in November, Mark didn't perform, but I really enjoyed his acceptance speech, which was filmed!   It's always good to see him receive an award!   Let's hope this one will be filmed too!

Sorry to be ignorant but what is this award?

[knopflerized]

Would be nice if it would be filmed... not sure if it woth to travel just to hear at least one song... maybe two...arrrrfff

Sorry to be ignorant but what is this award?

Google maybe?

From the Steiger website via Google Translate (German -> English):

The Steiger Award
This award, created by private initiative and the desire for cultural, social and corporate promotion of the Rhine-Ruhr region, is awarded annually to individuals who are particularly in the areas of tolerance, charity, music, film, media, sports, environment and growing together the European community have been earned.

With the increase AWARD personalities from home and abroad will be honored, who feel connected to the virtues of the climber. These include linearity, openness, kindness and tolerance. The term "climber"is derived from mining operations and serves as a synonym for honesty and openness of the miners, the so-called Steiger. He is also a symbol of reliability, loyalty and cohesion in good and bad days.

On 12 March 2011 will be awarded in Bochum's Centennial Hall for the seventh time the Steiger Award.

Hi Jackal
Thanks for the reply, but to be honest I still don't get what the award is for and what the awards are about.

[Jackal]

@ banjo - I know the Google Translation isn't particularly good, but you should be able to at least get the gist of what is meant, that the Steiger awards are presented to people who have made considerable contributions to the arts, music, humanitarian work, etc.

[Love Expresso]

Ok, he could play 5:15 am then, because of the "mining" theme. THAT would be painful, I mean, if he did I wouldn't be there...

[goldenheart96]

Hmm. Will think about it. Maybe I can get a press accreditation...
