Aww Rainer! That's just an invitation to tell the story!
And I just found out that Chris hasn't heard it so there's two reasons for me to tell it again!! But just for you R, I'll make it quick
Right!!! May 10th 1999! Meat Loaf day!! I'm 13, hormones all over the shop, and I'm on my way to meet Meat - nervous as hell! The whole group of us walked through the arena at Newcastle, getting more and more nervous, up loads of stairs and into the room for the meet and greet - by which time the tears were streaming down my face! Goodbye to any traces of makeup!
So into the room we go, and we're just waiting for Meat to come in, getting more and more nervous - by this time there are three or four people standing around me waiting for me to collapse! Then in comes Meat. Those who have met him will know what i mean, but it's a feeling of pure happiness! It truely is! He walked over, met some people, then got to me. He asked my name but I couldn't speak, I was just totally frozen! So Anne told him that my name is Lucy and I was a little nervous ( understatement of the millennium! ). Meat met the rest of the group, then looked back at me and shouted "Hey Lucy! Are you OK?!" Still unable to speak, I just grinned and nodded! I turned to Anne and whispered to her that I couldn't believe he was standing there, and she told him what I'd said, so he started moving around so that he wasn't stood "there" anymore! Then - in that way he does - Meat shouted "Right! I wanna photo with Lucy!" and he put his arm around me and walked me forward and we had the photo! Then he asked if I was OK, said his goodbye's and went to get ready for the show!
And that's it! The story that half of the fan club are sick of hearing!!
Thanks Meat!!!!!!!!
Lucy! x
