I was about fourth in line ( whilst queuing I did have my picture taken with Patti - she's gorgeous!)
When the time came for me to approach Meat's table my mind just exploded.
I was in a panic. He said "Hello". How the hell do you respond to such a kind word as hello? With a responding hello? No. I just blurted out "thanks for everything".
I meet my hero and my opening salvo is "thanks for everything". What a plonker.
Every time my brother sees me he mockingly says "thanks for everything".
After 20 years you'd think he'd drop it.
I hope, maybe, one day I will get the opportunity to do a M & G and redeem myself. On second thoughts, it could be too high risk.

I've never done a M & G either but I did manage to get back stage and meet the band after their last concert at Christchurch, NZ on the CHSIB tour. I went with a friend who was actually invited by Kasim and told he could bring someone so I was the lucky one. He had several programmes to be signed for some of our US friends but was super shy so he sat down and watched while I got them signed for him but after the "hi, will you sign this please" there was nothing else I could think of saying lol. I remember saying something silly to Patti about how awesome she was with ML - such that it might have been better if I'd kept my mouth shut. Paul was busy chatting up a couple of girls who didn't seem tongue tied at all, but I definitely was. The signed programme and CHSIB cd insert are really special to me though and it was really sad that we weren't allowed cameras, it being before the cell phone epidemic of today.
