Met Meat? - Page 2

**The Flying Mouse** · 24 Mar 2003, 20:52

Hi Dick.
He's a really nice guy.One of my all time favorite comics.
I ran into him a couple of times at the Blackpool magic conventions that are held each year(the biggest of it's kind in the world).He's not a magician himself,but he's very keen on it.I got an autograph and some photos together

.
I've seen him perform live more times than I can remember,the jokes are mostly the same,but it's still funny.
What every you do,don't book an early taxi.He goes on forever and you'll laugh every minute.
One year at the Blackpool convention,he was to accept a lifetime achievment award from the president of the Blackpool magic circle (who was at that time an old pal of mine named Derek Leaver).It was suposed to be simple.Call him up,he'll say a few words,he'll sit down on with the show.The problem was that as soon as Ken got up he went into one of his routines and took over the whole show.In the end Derek went and sat down in the audience.He went on for about half an hour and the crowd loved it.
Enjoy the show (I know that you will).You are guarenteed to

P.S. He's got a great singing voice too.Really.

Your right he has got an amazing singing voice, i'm sure when i see him i'll be filled with, "Lots and Lots of HAPP-I-NE-SSSS"

i have met him in 1989, together with Arjanus. i didn't say anything to him, but he was very relaxed and peaceful. His wife was there too and Amy and Elaine (his former backing vocalists), Steve Buslowe, Chuck Burgi. It was great! Meat was eating a lot of fruit i remember.

I had been watching Wetten Dass, where Meat had kissed the host!

But about meeting Meat..
I have been to a festival in Dillingen, years ago, backstage and stayed at the same hotel as Meat and the bands who played there.
I told you before, it took me a while to see 'the light'.
If I make a mistake, it usually is a BIG one!!!
I didn't even stay to see the show, went back to the hotel, didn't even go look for Meat....

Now, you don't have to tell me,...because I know.
I recently heard the concert "I choose not to see" just to feel the pain!

I can also laugh about this

What can I say, that's me

Great day everyone,

Mariella

I've met him twice ... the first time before the show in Atlantic City in September 2001, and then again this past December after a show in Florida. He's such a nice guy

The first time I met him I was so nervous I don't think I said two words to him. The second time was better .... we were in a hallway backstage, and when I saw him coming towards me, I went up and said Hi Meat and he gave me a big hug. He asked me my name and I actually remembered it ... I was so proud of myself

Vicki,

At which Florida show did you meet Meat in December? I was at the Clearwater show, and I would have been so thrilled to meet him. Instead, my best friend and I went to Bennigans afterward and fantasized about ML and the Neverland Express wandering in for a post-concert meal. Alas, we had no luck. (Though my husband wondered why I didn't get home until 1AM- out looking for Meat Loaf!)

Hi Sherry!

It was the Clearwater show :) My friend and I got to go backstage as part of an after-show meet and greet. He's such a sweetheart ... hopefully you'll get a chance to meet him this year when he goes on tour !

Hi Vicki,

Was that a meet-and-greet through the OIFC or through someone else?
