gig report joker out at cvetličarna night 1 and 2
i spent a full week in ljubljana, completely fell in love with the city, and honestly can't wait to be back some day. here are some of my thoughts from the concerts
cvetka night 1:
- i had a general entry ticket and only entered the queue when the first batch of people got let in
- speaking of which, it was a complete fiasco. the security were letting in people from the general entry line at the same time as the early entry line and when they were in they couldn't get them out anymore and so there were lots of non-ee ticket holders in the front rows watching the soundcheck
- i was in no rush and so i checked out the merch table at first and bought the new cd and the tote bag
- i don't really know what to think about their merch for this tour. i mean it's a fun idea that they were involved with the stamping of the merch but that also means that you can't really wash some of the items and that limits the actual use of it
- i wanted to find a spot on the balcony but ended up on the floor and luckily got quite near on the right side and with no tall people directly in front of me. it definitely wasn't a perfect spot though bc there was a group of women right next to me who seemed very drunk, they were very loud and just kept pushing people while dancing. not fun.
- i'm a huge fan of jet black diamonds as well and so i of course was very excited to see them. they performed well even with the limitations of the stage setup and lots of people around me were also singing and vibing along :)
- i feel like urban could've talked a bit more in english because they were right in front of their potential international target audience. the trick to get people to follow them for a merch raffle was effective though (had to unfollow and refollow them lol)
- we've all seen so many clips from the concerts that i won't be going through most of it but there's still a few points i'd like to make
- moving nace over to the left side was a very unexpected choice and unfortunately that left the right side very empty at times. there were some moments when there was literally no one there and all four of them were just packed on the left side
- i loved what they did with stephanie. jure just looked so happy walking around the stage :)
- actually i loved all the new songs so much. i was waiting to see how they would pull them off live with the songs being more synth-heavy, but in the end there was nothing to worry about because live versions were even better than the ones on the album
- the only one that did not really work yet was the beginning of lips bc bojan was off-key at the lower parts :/ in the soundcheck the day after he already sounded better though
- after the gig we gathered together with our little joblr group, i did some jbd merch shoppin, and it took us a while to realize that the band was actually inside the venue stamping stuff
- on the first night it was all very quick. the music was loud, they were dancing and singing along on their spots (especially kris looked like he was having the time of his life dancing and stamping). i got my cd stamped and didn’t know to ask for anything more so i just left and we left the venue pretty much after that (click here for a picture of the cd)
cvetka night 2:
- i hung out in the queue for longer because i had an ee ticket for this night. i brought some ananaslonkero with me and gave three of them to my dear joblr mutuals, two to some other nice people in the queue and that left me with one extra (which will play a huge part later)
- the staff had clearly taken the constructive criticism from the day before into account and they were checking that everyone had an ee ticket this time around and it was all very organized
- there was a barricade this time and i managed to get it and i was on the right side, again
- i feel like most of ee ticket holders were non-slovenian and so they did the soundcheck in english and played lips and proti toku
- i hadn’t slept well and i guess i was kinda overstimulated from just before doors to the beginning of jbd so it feels like i completely missed the soundcheck even though i was there :( also nace was right in front of me after the soundcheck and stopped to take pictures with everyone around me and i froze completely and it felt like it looked like i ignored him on purpose and i feel so bad i’m so sorry nace
- during jbd i happened to be in a bubble where most people around me were vibing and some even singing along but i later heard that there were people on their phones during the whole gig in the front rows and like… the disrespect??
- the setlist was the exact same and i don’t want this to get too long so i don’t really have anything new to add from yesterday. would’ve loved to see some changes but the setlist already had their most popular songs so there was really nothing that could’ve been switched off
- now that people actually knew about the stamping the queue for it started forming right away. i waited in the queue for a while but then decided on getting some water instead and i just sat on the floor for a while (and also štras just walked right by me before getting stopped for some selfies)
- when they started the stamping i went back into the queue and got my notebook only stamped at first. i then returned back to my friends, got my jacket from the car and doing that accidentally smuggled in my one leftover ananaslonkero, that i then went to give to the band and got some signatures in my notebook as well (and a PELIÄ from bojan). i talked about it in more detail in this post
and so that was basically the two nights for me. it was so nice to see so many familiar faces yet again and hang out with my little joblr discord server group 🫶 oh and the concerts were great too lol

im absolutely here to BEG for loosier mob hcs 👀
ahsjsk omfg I'm honoured 😭 the image of jbd has been stuck in my head all day because of this au! I apologise if this post gets long...
- their song is poker face by lady gaga but slowed down okay like this is PEAK mob loosier vibes
- they get assigned as partners under Corrigan's sector, which means having to bunk down in an apartment in a rundown area of the city together
- leckie does NOT like hoosier at first; he's too sarcastic and blunt in his nature and leckie finds it hard to get a grip on him
- this means they clash a lot for the first year working together but hoosier is the best shot on the team, not to mention his torture techniques would break the toughest of men, and leckie is the brains behind the operations as well as a skilled getaway driver so skills-wise they're perfect together
- things change after an operation involving a faulty explosion, leckie thinks hoosier gets hit but turns out he's fine (beside a few cuts and bruises), leckie loses his shit with him and has him pressed against a wall growling about "incompetence and disregard for anybody else"
- nobody can blame hoosier for getting a little excited in the moment, he says it's the adrenaline, and he pulls leckie down into a bruising (literally) kiss which leckie melts into
- from then on they're basically the power duo of the sector, always got each other's six and taking on every operation Corrigan throws their way
- they're soon the most feared names in the city, everyone knows who they are and nobody in their right mind wants to mess with them
- they're close with Runner and Chuckler, another duo based nearby under their sector (they've had to do a few operations together)
- leckie is a not-so-secret bookworm, he collects so many vintage books and their apartment is full of them
- hoosier may or may not have 'adopted' a dog that was left behind from a target they had to take out
- when an operation goes horribly wrong resulting in hoosier being taken captive...all hell breaks loose
- like, just imagine leckie with all his rage, packing up shotguns and rifles and a knife (because you can never be too prepared) ready to rescue his man
- he (and their friends) finds hoosier beaten and bloody tied go a chair in a dingy abandoned factory that's acting as base for one of their rival gangs and leckie goes feral on them
- it's a planned out rescue mission, chuckler knocks out the guards easily, runner has found blueprints of the building and got a makeshift bomb wired up too because he's just that smart, and leckie wastes no bullets
- not a single guy is left breathing by the time they emerge from the building supporting a semi-concious hoosier
- something that hoosier never lets leckie forget, he teases him constantly about how he came to save his 'damsel in distress'
- he's also the worst during his recovery, getting leckie to do everything for him and complaining constantly (he's restless and bored and he definitely hates the idea of leckie going out without his partner-in-crime)
- they ooze charm too, so when they're on undercover missions set out to find the rats or get close to big, rich folk they're usually the go-to in the sector
- leckie will flash his charming smile and hoosier is such a damn flirt (leckie definitely doesn't get jealous and drag hoosier to an empty room in the middle of the gatherings at all) but it works, they secure countless business partners for Corrigan
- they still argue like an old married couple though, even in the middle of shootouts where they'll be bickering and shouting at each other over the fire of bullets and insulting each other
- on days off they prefer to lounge at home watching reruns of sitcoms or old western because they're both nerds, lazily kissing under blankets and ordering take-out because neither of them are brilliant cooks
- hoosier has a strange obsession with leckie's shaved hair, he loves to run his hands over it whenever he can
- likewise, leckie refuses to let hoosier cut his hair because he most definitely loves to card his fingers through it and grip it tight when they're getting handsy
these have all pretty much been thought up on the spot and thrown together because my brain has no sense of organisation 😅
