A friend of mine, a musician, is playing in Colorado. I'm coming all the way from London to see his show. I also plan to ski there but it's just to see him. I wanted to tell him in a sarcastic funny short way that I'll be there so that he knows and doesn't freak out when he sees me... This is just going to be a public short message, I won't be able to speak to him until I see him. I was thinking something like:
"Not that you care, but just so you won't freak out if you see me, I'll be coming to Colorado just to ski. NOT TO SEE YOU, just to ski because it doesn't snow here in Europe."
or...
"Can you believe I planned my ski holiday in the same place and time that you're playing? So, not that you care but just so you know, if the snow is not too powdery, I might just happen to see your show. ;) (Not that you care, but just so you know and won't freak out or anything if you see me)"

"Colorado: a land of ski slopes and snow. I can;t wait to hit the downhills and slalom.
"Oh, I understand you'll be in town as well. Maybe I'll watch you play in the evening, eh?"

Howabout....
I've been thinking about a ski trip for a while and as you're going to be in Colorado for your concert, I thought I might as well combine the two. It would be good to fit a bit of culture in amongst all the après-ski!

Maybe:
Just thought I'd let you know that I'm coming halfway across the world to ski some slopes... it just so happens that you're also playing the same time as me. Weird, huh?
I dunno, I don't really understand what yours are saying because it's a little too word and confusingly worded. Try to keep it simple... I don't know if you're trying not to seem like your liking him or what... it's a little confusing

"I dont wanna sound too British Invasion here, but Im coming from London to see your gig...you know, more so for Imperialistic reasons...God knows we dont have enough(insert obvious music) over here, we being a world class country and all.
Mineaswell "use" one of those bleach dunes you call ski slopes while out of the alps of our Europe"
And Zing!....you might want to bring some tissues.

why would he freak out? are you a stalker?
anyway, i would keep it simple and just say, hey just so you know i'll be in colorado so if i'm not too busy maybe i'll see you play...
by the way, what was that about? it doesn't snow in europe? i've been there plenty of times to know it does, so get your facts straight.

short and simple... especially if it's gonna be public - but you have to be expicit
"you here - me here - what a coincidene!! call me on the slopes!!"
sometimes you have to keep your messages at a base level
