F I N A L L Y !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dream came true last night...I had my meet and greet with DREAM THEATER after 17 years !!!
OMG, this was soooooooooooo worth it !! I loved every minute of it and the DT guys just ROCKED and were so kind...First one I talked to ?... Yep, of course.....MIKEY !!! WOW, I know he was a great guy, but he was so patiently with me, being so nervous :)
I had a drawing for him from my youngest son Max and he was like oooh, how cute and said; 'do you know I have a son named Max as well ?' and he showed his tattoo...Of course I knew <gg>. I gave him the new Cirrha Niva (Dutch band with my friend Tommy as their drummer) cd and Mike said he recognized the name, really cool ! Mike signed the cover of his In Constant Motion dvd and when I walked away, he said; 'don't forget this....it's yours', oh my I almost forgot it !!!!
I gave all the guys some Dutch 'drop' candy and one bag for all of them with chocolate 'Kruidnoten' (sorry, there's no English word for it ! It's a cookie/candy)...
They all were enthousiastic about it.I'm glad I gave Mike a letter with things I wanted to tell him, cause I forgot everything when I got in front of him !
Then John Petrucci....wow..what a smile the guy has (ahum..) <g> He signed the cover of his Suspended Animation cd and I told him as I did the others; thank you so much...then I said, and Rena too ! He looked at me, still smiling and said, oh ? I said yeah, you wouldn't be here without her !!! He laughed and said thank you :)
Jordan signed the picture of me and my boys I made for the Wheel competition and said it looked great. I saw Jeroen for the show (picture was great Jeroen :)) and asked him if he could ask Jordan to film a little of the meet and greet. It seems Jordan did, but I'm not sure..I just love the vids, Jordan !!
John Myung was sitting quietly as ever, but smiling when I said thank you to him as well signing the cover of his instruction video and said thank you to me :)
Last one....James !! He recognized me and I gave him the picture of him and me after his solo tour here in Holland in 2005. He signed it and I thanked him for posting on his board every once in a while. He said he will do it again soon and he shaked my hand and wished me a great show !!!
THANK YOU DREAM THEATER YOU GUYS ROCKED MY NIGHT ! AN AWESOME NIGHT TO REMEMBER FOREVER !!
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A big THANK YOU to Flemming as well for being there with me and to my hubby Rik for being patient with me and my DT fangirlism, haha !
