Hello Mitch, Danny, Teresa and anyone else I meet today.
Woohoo what a day, Let me tell you guys I am still on a high. So it was you that called Danny. I am sorry I didn't hear the call. When I went to retrieve the phone number I accidentally deleted everything. I was so annoyed with myself. So sorry about that. Danny I am still very much interested in see the Tea Party if you still want to. Teresa is keen I believe. I will call tomorrow. If that’s ok with you.
Anyway, let me tell you guys what Teresa and I did after you guys left. We hung around outside talking to some other fans, I was so excited about the day’s events and I will never forget that ‘Perfect Kiss’ from Hooky, he’s my hero too, so it was all the more sweeter. Anyway, we hung around for about 20 mins then the doors opened again. Danny, Mitch I am sure you will be kicking yourselves. I told you to stay Danny, but I realise work beckons, bloody work. Anyway, they were still lurking about inside. Stephen was there as was my hero Hooky. I called out to Peter and he turned. Teresa and I got pictures taken with him, he put his arm around me and god knows what the pictures will be like, as I didn’t know where the hell I was. It was all very surreal actually don’t you think?
I asked him for tickets he said ,”see Barney”, we said,”where is he?” Peter said ‘he was suffering from something along the lines of ‘Grumpyitis’”. What a laugh. I am sure Teresa has the correct word he said but it was along those lines, she will correct this little bit. I knew I would forget that word. Anyway, we did ask if we could come along to the sound check and he said they couldn’t allow some in and others not. I ask that I be put on the guest list, but again he was really nice and said he couldn’t. He said maybe next time. Well here’s hoping. He said a lot more but you know I was just mesmerised. Anyway, I am sure Teresa will remember most of this encounter as I didn’t know what the hell was going on. I was in awe and I couldn’t even speak and somewhere in there I got another kiss, I will never wash my cheek again. :-) Let me tell you I was ‘Touched by the lips of Hooky’. :-) What an experience. They were all so nice, weren’t they?
We also took pictures with Stephen and he said he was in a hurry but he still took the time to please us. They went out the back. Teresa and I then went to the Metro we went upstairs and asked if there were any tickets and there weren’t. I am so angry with myself for missing out. Anyway after that we went for a drink at the pub on the corner of Bourke and Spring Street. We were there for a little while although we only had one drink. We went back to the Metro where people were lining up for tonight. I was there for a little while, what else could I do, I was soaking up the atmosphere and so pleased with myself for not going home after we got our first item signed. If it were for you guys and especially Tersea I would not have hung around all that time on my own. So thank you guys for such a lovely day. We spoke to others in the line and there was one guy there who was a split image of Neil Finn. Everyone was so nice there too.
Mitch we heard them rehearsing, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Crystal, someone said Ceremony or was it Procession you could hear things ok, they did other tracks but I don’t remember them now.
Danny there was one girl in the line and see was willing to give her ticket away for a $1000. We told her she was mad, no one would give it up for that amount. I know I wouldn’t. There was about 3 of us without tickets just lurking about. I doubt whether they would have got in, we asked again and again for tickets. Teresa would have hung around with those in line so she would have been ok for the night. I can’t wait to hear how the concert was as she would have been up front. I got home about 7.30pm.
To all the lovely people I meet today, thank you for a lovely day it was really nice to meet people who have the same music taste as me. It’s very rare I come across people like you, so please keep in touch. We can even exchange music if you wish. I know bands you have never heard of and who knows they may blow your mind as they still do me. Keep in mind that I have ‘Revenge’ material.
By the way I didn’t know about this message board until today and here we all are.
Well the gig has probably finished now and it’s time for bed, I’m still on a high actually and my legs are killing me.
Night,
