We arrived to the theater at 8.30 pm. Becky (i think that´s her name) explained us how it was gonna be: you say hi, they sign a picture and they´re gone. So I asked Can i talk to them? Yes, you´ll be able to talk to them. Great!
So, we went upstairs to a little room with sofas, and glasses, a place to relax. I gave someone what i wanted them to sign: the first flyer from their first concert in 1998. So, Becky takes it and says "what is this??". I explain to her and she goes outside, where she talks with some people from the crew, and they laugh and someone said "i don´t even have that myself!!".
So, one person comes in, and takes the flyer outside, then comes in again and asks me where did i get that. And i said internet, the fans club.
After that, the guys came in. Guy (such a nice person!!!) shakes hands and look at people in the eye... So, Chris is right in front of me,we skake hands and he says to me Hi!! Then comes Guy, again, hand, hi, and looks me in the eye. Then Will (who recognized me from the hotel entrance, when we talked and we gave him a present) and then Jonny. So, when i had the opportunity i asked Jonny if they were gonna play Shiver, and he said oh no, i don´t think so...
Then i gave him another present i had: something to eat, something to share. And i asked Will if he ate what we gave him before. He said yes, it was really good, thank you very much! And then they went to do some signing. And Becky goes to Guy and shows him my flyer. He laughs and tells the guys, look. And they ALL laughs and Chris says "man, that has almost ten 10 years". At that moment, i was truly happy. So, everyone is quit, no one is talking so i said to myself, this is my chance.I said "Can i ask you a question?". At the press conference Chris said he wrote a song about Buenos Aires called The butterfly. So i asked him if it was true. He didn´t listen to me, he said something about the press conference (apparently it wasn´t good) and then he said, ok, no, what??? And he comes to me. Wow, i had to repeat everything to him, face to face, in english. And he said "si si si" So, aparently, it´s true!!
Well, after that i talked to Will about the flyer and then, suddenly Guy is alone, no one is talking to him, and i said i have to talk to him. And so i did. Guy and me, nobody else, face to face. I said "your music is like a shelter, a refuge, it keeps me warm. I´ve been through tough times, and you were there with me". So he puts his hand in my shoulder and saids "that´s very nice of you to say, it´s very lovely".
Then, we took a picture, shaked hands, and left. I was in a cloud. After that, i went to the show, in 1st row, less than 1 metre away from them.
And then, just before Til kingdom come, they took the disposable cameras. Guy took me a picture, comes to where I am and throws the camera to me. TO ME. He looks at me, i say please and he gives ME the camera.
And then i couldn´t stop crying. I just couldn´t. I started to think about every moment i had with them. I thought about my grandma, who died a few months ago. It was intense. I can´t put it in words.
So, that´s it!!! Sorry for writing this much! But I know you will understand me. I had the best day of my life. I have pics and videos from the show. I´ll show it to you later! By the way! The camera had 26 pics left, do you know how many pics can you take with it??? Maybe he just took one pic...
