Robbie at the Electric Proms - 20th Oct 2009

It's Sunday - so it's 2 days till Robbie!

I think it's just hitting me how close it actually is. I feel a bit *can't describe how i feel* lol

I'm picturing you wandering around looking lost Mazza



Just think, in 2 days you'll be even worse! Is it safe to trust that you'll be able to meet me at Victoria on Tuesday I don't want you aimlessly wandering around London!!

I reckon youre safe enough. I think if Robbie were performing live up a tree in the middle of a forest in the middle of the outback in the middle of australia, and Mary had a ticket, she'd get herself there on the right day at the right time, somehow.

Yeah I'm gonna go and start thinking about what I'm taking and start packing...

Did you say you're bringing an extra bag with your stuff in it for Tuesday/Wednesday.

If you are then you won't need to stuf anything in mine on Wednesday and I might be able to bring my backpack rather than my small case

Yeh - i have another bag with stuff for Tuesday & wednesday *nods*

So... all the bad news week had brought me right down, and I was so busy and exhuasted, I had really stopped looking forward to this.

But... I put Bodies on repeat while I was getting read for the last hour, and then suddenly the 'OHMYGODICANTWAIT' feeling is back.
2 days!!
I was just thinking - it's actually incredible - I thought that the first time I saw Robbie was going to be in the back end of some HUGE stadium, probably having dashed half way across the country after work to get there, all stressed out - and maybe on my own, since Jaidi has been refusing to say she'd go for a year or more.
And now, I get to see him in a tiny venue, in the middle of my holidays, all relaxed, with a great friend, and it's just all so perfect and amazing. And because I managed to get my arse in gear and get to know people here, I get to meet up with you girls also. :)

If there were smilies that worked, I'd find the most excitingest one and post it a hundred times. lol

Yeh *imagine lots of hyper/jumping smiley smilies* lol

I thought my first time seeing Rob, after a 12 year wait, would be after a long day (and night lol) of queuing and running and stress etc etc But I'm so glad i get to see him at the Proms, so no matter when or if i see him after this - I'll always have that memory of seeing him a small venue, which is so rare, and that it was somewhat relaxed. I'm still very much looking forward to the stadium shows that might come again one day, but this is something a bit special.

Then there's the fact that when we found out tickets were only 2 pp - i was so gutted. I wanted to see him with my concert buddies - and I thought there was no way we'd be lucky enough to get 2 tickets, never would we get 4! But we did - so I could be happy. Obv, I still would have been hyper about going if it was just 2 of us - but it's special because of who I'm going with too.

And it's going to be great to meet up with you too Dawn - and to see Jaidi again properly. The gig is at the perfect time isn't it - something good happening in the not-so-good stuff.

2 days! I've decided I'm not impatient now - i've waited this long. A few more days wont hurt lol

*goes to put some Rob on again - I'm in the mood for playing Monsoon REALLLLLLY loud lol*



I feel all emotional now LOL

Just reading your posts is makine me more excited Laydees!!

Dawn, I didn't realise you were a Robbie virgin too. I don't know if I'm more excited for you and Mary or about the fact that I'm seeeing Mr RPW in 2 days time!!

Why don't these smilies work when you need them.

I've just been listening to Angels from Knebworth and although it's not my favourite song of his, live it is absolutely amazing. I'm getting goosebumps and shivers and I can feel the excitement bubbling. I realise how lucky we were to get 2 tickets, let alone 4 and that's going to make it all the more special.

Oh yes. Before TT I was practically a concert virgin. The whole thought of standing in a crowd terrified me.
So, although I've been a Robbie fan a long time, I never would have gone if I hadn't gotten over that to go and see TT. lol
I just realised something else ... October 20th was the date I saw TT in Barcelona 2 years ago. It wasn't the first one, as my first was the 16th in Belfast, but it just struck me as a nice coincidence.
Obviously, October holidays are destined to be good from now on!

I will be getting ready to leave for my flight in 12 hours.

Well, I'm glad that TT helped you get over your fear of crowds Dawn. If you hadn't you wouldn't be getting the pleasure of seeing Robbie do what he does best right before your very eyes.

It's one thing watching him on DVD, experiencing it for yourself is something else completely!!

Hope you have a good flight and if I don't see you around here in the morning before you leave, then I'll see you on Tuesday *hyper*

What does that mean? Will you be all be in Camden earlier?

I'm still only quarter packed. And strangely, I'm not yet stressed about it. I leave in two hours. lol

Btw Scott Mills (who I can't stand and I'm SO relieved that Moyles chose to have his holidays the same week as me or my mornings would have been ruined!!) said this morning that he was at the rehearsal yesterday, in a tiny room with Robbie and a huge orchestra, and he said it was absolutely beautiful. Which struck me as an odd word to use, but then again Scott Mills is odd.
But, I'm sure it's beautiful and amazing, and just listening to him talking about it got me all excited again (as I threw all my clothes on the floor trying to decide what to pack. lol)
