The 3rd meeting on Friday the 27th Feb. 04 ( Way to your heart) Limahl makes 2nd place
Exceptionally the next show was on the forthcoming Friday. I took a day off and we already ordered tickets for the show. But bad news, outside ravaged the biggest snow storm since month. It was still snowing all over the place; it seems unrealisable to drive to cologne. The news talked about extremely long traffic jams. No way to come to cologne, so near but absolutely impossible to reach this time. I watched the show from 8:15 p.m. Limahl was in a great mood, as he made a real good job. It’s truly amazing, but at about 9 p.m. it actually stopped snowing. After a while the streets went better and better and we decided to go. I didn’t even need to convince my boyfriend. I guess this was my destiny. Okay, we surely missed the show, but we were right in time to meet the celebrities. I was so happy, it was snowy white all over the place, and it felt like Christmas. As luck would have it I saw an old acquaintance with her now about 20 year old daughter. I knew her from the 80s when we used to meet some celebrities like Duran Duran. Her first mission was to show me her 3 autographs of Limahl she got right after the show. She have already attended every show, as she got the tickets and even the accommodation for free, she used to know everybody.
After a while all the Comeback Stars came out. When Benjamin went out this time I was surprised as there were still very less people. The reason was Ben told his fans - on his fan site - that he had catch a cold and the Ben Fans stayed at home. But Ben was here, and we were just a handful of people. When I showed him my photo from Monday I held my hand in front of my face on the pic, because I think I really look unfavourable (just apart from the aftermath of carnival last Monday).
But he was very nice and understanding and said that he like girls with round faces even much and my definite double chin is just because me looking that way. Also I ´d be a very cute girl and so on... He explained that the way he looks on my photo is the look he used on photos together with his girlfriend...
oh dear, it was really funny. He did not stop paying compliments to me and I turned from red to more red. The other people were already laughing. He asked me if I have a boyfriend and I showed him the tall man standing 2 metres apart. Okay then, he said ...he is taller than me.... He took me again for a photo...okay let’s give it a try. He put me under his arms and...What shall I say, the photo is much better J.
Then we needed to wait another while. My acquaintance, her daughter and me was the only persons to wait for Limahl. At about 0:20 he came out. .
SMy acquaintance stepped to him right away and held a batch of photos right under his nose. Limahl was very friendly and said to her that she already got his autographs in the show. Me, about 1 meter apart stammered: “...I was not in the show....” He recognized his records and photos in my hands and said to me to follow him to the car. He went to the limousine, got in and shut the door. I already thought that was it. But he turned down the window, and looked in the face of my acquaintance again; she already stood in right in front of him again.
He totally ignored her, looked behind to find me and my photo. I gave it to him; it was the picture of me together with him from last Monday. He asked me for my name and he wrote: “To Claudia, love Limahl Köln 27.02.04. Later he waved goodbye and drove away.
My acquaintance said he seems to be arrogant, but me, I ´d say he is a very kind and nice guy.
Maybe as revenge my acquaintance gave me her daughter to drive her to the railway station nearby Düsseldorf. So we drove very slowly, as the highway was already full of snow again. On the opposite driveway we saw cars in awkward positions and a long traffic jam with length of more kilometres. It was a miracle that nothing bad happened to us.
