Meet-up's.

[Rosie]

I'm also in favour. Tutt-sweet, following on from your post about being one of the more mature fans, I'm a few years older than JRT myself so you wouldn't be the only one.

Age is no barrier to adoring him!

[tutt-sweet]

Thanks for that Rosie. Nice to know he has a few 'mature' admirers & I'm not alone. I'm quite a few years older than JRT [ tho' am not quite old enough to be his Mum...I certainly don't think of him in a maternal way! ]

It would be nice if we could all meet up at the premiere of Rabbit Fever wouldn't it? How about it Hells & Jools...if we can find out which venue it will be held at? Fancy trying to get something organised?!

[Jennifer]

*cries a bit* I'll just have to see Rabbit Fever in Glasgow.

I'm well up for a Green Wing signing further afield, though. If there is to be one I'll be happy to meet up with anyone down there.

[Jools]

Will happily try to arrange some meet ups/viewings once we know locations, will keep you posted

[BigEars]

Me too - if I can find someone to look after the kids!!!!

Rosie & Tutt-Sweet - I'm a fellow mature admirer - good to meet you! Heck - lust has no respect nor time for age barriers!!! Anyway - he may like a more mature woman (she said hopefully!!!!).

[tutt-sweet]

Us 'oldies' must stick together BigEars/Rosie....safety in numbers you know!

Pity I can't seem to find a lecherous smiley?!!... guess this will have do

[minimarsbar]

I think I must now qualify as an oldie too Although I am not old enough to be his mother (not even biologically) I am a few years older than him.

[Mac Valentine]

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't frequented for a few days but our computer died and I only came to work today. Just want to see if people are still stagedooring after the matinee on Saturday and if hubby and I can join you all, where to congregate.

[Baggiebird]

Hell yes !

[goshandcrikey]

Mac V you have to it's you duty to lurk by the stage door

[lucie]

Dont forget to make a lots of pictures and send our greets (and kisses ) to J.

[Mac Valentine]

Whats the form then Baggie Bird, I know what you look like so should we accost you? I'll be the short fat 36 year old with a brown bob and my husband will be the short, thin one who according to others bears a passing resemblance to Jamie Cullum (don't tell him I told you or he'll get the hump!). How could you miss us!
Are they suckers for punishment enough to signpost the stagedoor?
On a technical note how long is the play and how long is the interval?
This weekend is turning into a bit of a military operation but I'm desperate to see him without letting Hubby know how desperate I am! I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings as he has been very good about the whole JRT obsession. Thank god he liked Green Wing!
Oh grief I am so excited I could squeel alot!

[chatterbox]

MacV, you have to walk pass the stage door to get to the Cottesloe, so you can't miss it!!

Check your private messages..

[Baggiebird]

Hey MacV, we usually (ooh get me !) head straight the the stage door after the performance which should finish for 5pm.

As Chatts said check your PM's it seems i've sent you one as well

[goshandcrikey]

Mac V i'm setting you and your ( wonderful) hubby a mission you will find Baggie and the others and lurk by the stage door to see Julian , it is your duty and in fact your life's mission.

[Mac Valentine]

Will do, I have recieved my instructions and understand my duty.
I am going to pee myself with excitement!

[goshandcrikey]

probably best not to do that Mac V, although I'm sure he'd remember you after that. Don't forget I'll see you in Zurich.

Have a great time it is a wonderful experience, and congrats on such an understanding hubby

Hope all of you who are going tomorrow and monday have a great time.

[Mac Valentine]

I have the passports, tickets and balaclava on standby
This time tomorrow it will be the second half. Hopefully Hubby won't be asleep and snoring like the proverbial and I will have complete control of my bladder!

[goshandcrikey]

the play is really too good for anyone to sleep through I'm sure he'll enjoy it.

Enjoy the view anyway

[Rosie]

Just got back from seeing LWW. Met up with Chatterbox, Baggiebird, Spence and Spitting Bunny for lunch and then we met MacValentine and her husband at the National (I don't think we were too scary, were we, MacV?). JRT Patch joined us later at the stage door and then we all went off for a drink and a natter.

The play was excellent as ever. Pippa had worked hard on her role, which is probably the most difficult in terms of character development. Tom Hollander seemed to have a cold but still managed to give a good performance. Julian was wonderful as usual, and we had a bit of an unexpected treat in the last scene because his trousers had split at the back just before he entered on stage, so his white undergarments were visible!

He was charming at the stage door and chatted whilst we took pictures and got bits and pieces signed. A lovely afternoon, great to see you all again and meet MacValentine and husband, hope to do it again soon!
