UPDATE 8th JUNE 2012
HERE IS OUR CURRENT ANNIVERSARY COMPETITION!
When THUKST celebrated our 5th Anniversary on 23rd May we promised you another Anniversary competition (especially if you have missed the Twitter give-away we did on the day). Most exams should be over and hopefully things have been going well for those of you who spent the last weeks studying hard for them. Take a little break, enjoy the weekend and seize the opportunity to win a signed (by three band members) Zimmer 483 Deluxe Edition!
We've prepared a little quiz for you and you've got all weekend to submit your answers. Hopefully it'll be a bit of fun for you guys and we're hoping you're enjoying it even if you might have to do a little research. All the answers can be found on our website so have a good look around the Band, Press, Gallery and THUKST sections if you don't know the answers or want to double check. There is also at least one question where the "search" box in the header might come in handy.
Below are the rules and the quiz.
Have fun and viel Glück!
THE RULES:
* The competition is open to fans from the UK and Ireland.
* You have to answer ALL questions and the winner will be picked by random out of all those who submitted the (most) correct answers.
* Email your answers with your name, age, where in the UK/Ireland you live (city/town) and forum/twitter username (if applicable) to tokiohoteluk@gmail.com, subject: "THUKST Anniversary Comp 2012"
*Deadline: Sunday, 10th June 2012, 11.59pm (UK time).
* Remember, if you're unsure or don't know an answer, you can find them all on our website.
* Prize: Signed (by three band members) copy of "Zimmer 483" Deluxe Edition and some other little goodies.

01. Who said "My tea is empty, Fabian.”?
02. What band shirt was Gustav wearing when German BRAVO accompanied the band for their "Tokio Hotel conquer London" article in 2006?

Today is THUKST's 5TH ANNIVERSARY!
Hard to believe that it’s already been five years since Claire founded the UK Street Team in the beginning of May 2007, and that our first online platform, the THUKST Myspace, was officially launched on 23rd May 2007.
It’s been a bumpy ride since then and there have certainly been some frustrating and sad times. But there have also been some wonderful times, and your passion, love and support have always given us the strength to make it through and to hold on to our dream of Tokio Hotel coming back to the UK one day… or even actually releasing their music here would be fine for a start. XD
Another year has gone by and we fondly remember the fun and happy times you, our THUKST family, and our friends and supporters worldwide have given us. So here’s a huge THANK YOU to all of you. We love you and hope we’ll always be by each other’s sides!
It wouldn’t be a proper anniversary without a little excitement though, right? We’ve got two things for all fans from the UK and Ireland –
1) some prizes to win today, in a Twitter giveaway, including a Humanoid City Live DVD/CD combo, a copy of the Japanese WWD magazine with the twins photoshoot, and a Spring Nicht DVD single plus a ‘Passion for Music’ bag
2) how would you feel about a little THUKST Meet-Up in London later this year?
We don’t have the financial means or backing for anything spectacular, but UK fans have continued to ask us about a Meet-Up and it seems the year of our 5th Anniversary would be a good time to get something organised, even if it’s only something low-key. We will open a discussion thread (including a poll to vote for a date) on our forum on JUNE 8TH, together with a slightly bigger THUKST Anniversary competition where you can win a signed “Zimmer 483” Deluxe Edition.
We know many of you are still very busy with exams so we decided on only doing the quick prize give-aways on Twitter today, and saving the bigger competition and meet up discussion for the date in June. Allow yourselves a little break from studying tonight and seize your chance of winning a prize! Viel Glück!
RULES FOR TODAY’S TWITTER GIVEAWAY:
• Open to fans from the UK and Ireland only
• Time & place: today at 7pm – 8pm, twitter.com/tokiohotelukst

• Immediately before we tweet the competition tweet we will post a tweet letting you know we’re about to do so, so don’t worry, you’ll know exactly what we want you to retweet!
