Hahaha aaaw, I actually said "Aaaaw" when I read that! I met a hero of mine when I was 11 and I started crying because suddenly I felt like nothing mattered accept for THAT MOMENT and all the bullies at school and the teachers who marked me wrong could wait because time had frozen for all but the three of us (him, me and my mother who took the photo ) so I always love to hear other people's stories because it makes me feel happy to know that other people experience such happiness Hmm, wereally need a "Wipes tear* smiley...

Tw#t

Volture (because in French, car is Voiture)

Ride............

wheel........

I can't see the whole video because my computer keeps going to the start and then refusing to play it again each time I refresh but I saw the British lady get her moment! AAAH He's so lovely! Do you think I could give him a pretty flower? Like a rose or something? A huge bunch would just take up heaps of room I think maybe... Ahaha I loved how she was like "Aaaah when she stepped away! Thanks, I'll have a look later when the server isn't so busy and maybe it'll let me see you

Ok, picture, autograph, *Remembers* I'll go away and find something for him to sign... Ugh, from my experience, venue staff are a pain! But I know from reading reports on MFC that security and staff often tell you he's not coming out. But what goes in surely MUST come out! so I'll take an umbrella just in case. Jee this is going to be a big bag I will take! I could put Rufus inside it and run away Oh what poem did you write? I don't think I've seen it... Did you se the thread I made ages ago where there is a pic of Rufus at glastenbury (I think) and Mika at the EMA's and they are wearing the same broach? I love that they both did that though I doubt anyone else could carry that broach off half as well as they did. It's not the prettiest thing but they made it beautiful I will wish it to come true and for you to meet him again! I can see that you are an even bigger fan than me! Well, I think the poor woman who sold me the ticket would depate that but I broke down in front of her and cried when I saw how far away I'd be sitting and was doing a terrible job trying to suck it up Karma is a wonderful thing to wonderful people of which you are one Holly

LOL, I'll still be there several hours before Yeah I was thinking about the Twilight fans when I went to the premiere of New Moon where I was there at 8pm when the before screening of Twilight was on at 9:30 and the ACTUAL premiere was at 12:01am and I met up with a friend who happened to be there and this stupid woman started talking to us and asked me if my friend, Alicia, was my little brother. Poor alicia was like "Um... I'm a girl..." Ruru gives me the air of having fans who are a little snotty (the only-RuFans) because he is quite um... Classy? Not that Meeks isn't classy but he's also quite different to Rufus if you know what I mean LOL I'm pretty sure the KiwiRuFans will be the same. Kiwis are known for having tall poppy syndrome. I was thinking of wearing a red and white striped blouse under a denim halterneck dress with waistcoat and 1930's circa men's jacket with tails. It looks better than it sounds, honestly! I bed someone's going to look at me funny for that but I bet Rufus would like the red and white blouse and the contrast with the dark colours of the denom and black jacket. ANHHOO He sounds really sweet! I really love his music and I read heaps on him after I saw the video for "Going to a Twon" (it took me THAT LONG because I knew Mika liked him but H HATED him until I saw that particular video and for some reason something clicked and I suddenly really liked him. The same thing happened with Mika and GK video. I hated Meeks at first too!) But I don't know the first thing about Rufus Etequit so I'm a bit blind here. -CONTINUED BELOW (damn smileys)-

I was planning to get there quite a few hours before because of my sight imparement and I wanted to give Granddad and his lady friend some time alone while I go be scary-fan before Ruru comes in (get it out of my system ) and so I'll go check out the venue during such time. Also is it worth me trying to chat to fans who will inevitably join me in the que? Or will they just think I'm a weirdo? I know that on average, if a Mika fan (the typical sort with the typical atributes such as the dress sense and singing at random and artistic, indavidualist type) meets with a typical Fratallis fan, though I love both acts, they probably won't have much to talk about and would probably get a bit awkward. So will I just be looked at funny? I'd love to make some new Ru-friends Ah, ok, how do I approach if in a vehicle? Surely that's undoable? Or did he actually get out? Ok, I won't be fangurly. How best to be? Can I be flirty or cynical at all? Can he take a joke or a teasing jab? I know Mika can but I know some celebs get a bit funny about it. Ok, what questions to ask people who work there? Of course! This'll be the first place I go afterwards and YES a detailed report, I promise you that for all your helpful and kind advice and help Can I see if I can get an autograph for you maybe?

Hahaha sorry, I read that with a picture of a fangurl foaming at the mouth saying that particular line (Not that I think you're a scary Ru-stalker it was just funny) Thanks Was that the vid they/he posted on the Facebook page? I am happy to have my ticket and, as I said, that's $15 more to go to Mika's show! I am incredibly greatful to be seeing him at all, it's just that I'm a visual person and I always watch when I go to shows because I want to be a performer when I'm older and going to his and Lady Gaga's show (in April) I feel may also be benaficial to my, as Greg Wells put it in his masterclass session, knowledge tank. But Granddad is going to give me his binoculars to use which I did when I was 7 and going to Hi5's concert. Yeah I think it is seated. It's a shame that it is seated (I checked the plan again) but I'm glad to be there in the first place Do you advise scoping out the place a few hours before the show and seeing where the back entrance is? I will do some digging to see how big exactly the Rufus fanbase is in NZ because if it's anything like Mika, there'll be about 10 people who'll be like us (fangurls and what not). Anyway, thanks so much for your advice, it means the world to know you say you have such a good feeling

So I was sitting in a pub, the second thursday in a row and it was karaoke night. I was immediately accepted into the group of musical theatre lovers after my first performance of Love Today. I happened to mention to a starlet girl named Catherine that I wanted to do a really theatrical version of Release the Stars one day when I learned how to reach a few notes that I'm having trouble with and she said "Oh yeah, he's coming to Wellington isn't he?" I was like and screamed. I turned to my mother who sat at another table and said "RUFUS IS COMING TO WELLINGTON!" with eyes bright. She looked at me with a smike and said "I know." This was only about 2 weeks ago and I was quite hurt that she hadn't told me that he was coming as she knows how much I adore Rufus. But lets face it, she doesn't like him and she's a bit selfish when it comes to musicians she doesn't like. I did ask why exactly she hadn't told me and she simply said because she didn't want to drop me off and pick me up from the venue. To which I turned to Granddad and said "Will YOU pick me up and drop me off?" and he said if I got the tickets, he'd take me. She would have known THAT too but this isn't about my anger at my mother, it's about Rufus's show. So I started saving but I knew I wouldn't get enough before Christmas. The front tickets were $98 and before Christmas, I had only $36 but I knew I'd get a little from some person as gifts and I could make the rest selling homemade fudge to the oldies in the retirement village. My mother wouldn't help me because she said she hates his music and makes her want to top herself. I kept going. So I got the money for Christmas and Granddad called ticketek this morning and the front row seats are all sold ut. It turns out the tickets have been on sale for a long time now and my mother had really kept if grom me for a while. I am legally blind and would have had so much trouble so as far as I could see, it was over and I couldn't go. But she was so selfish a monster to have not told me and now I couldn't actually SEE Rufus. I know she isn't very happy in her life and she makes herself feel better by making others feel really bad, but that was harsh even for her. I decided she was being a horrible person and I wasn't going to let her win. So we went to the ticket office and saw where the closest available seats were. The best one was a seet in row E. That's like the back of the back. Granddad was really sad for me but I bought it. He found some binoculars for me and said that I should try and sneak down during the start of the show and stand in front. I decided that because the back row was $15 cheaper than the front row, that was $15 to put towards seeing Mika. She hates Mika too. So I was wondering what advice the Ruru-meeters may have for getting to where he is before/after the show or if you might know a thing or two about typical venues. I was drawing on my experience with James Blunt's show last year (April 30 2008) that I could wait for a few hours beforehand and be front of the que and just go down the front. Do you think I might have an usher by chance? Thanks

Thank you

I can hit the high notes

Yah more fm are great. We've also got Juice and J2 which play lots of stuff. It's a pity they canned "Alt TV' cos they would have played it. I mean like if we had More FM (link) The edge (link) ... etc Then we can go through and request on each and do that once a week or more and then we can target many and do it easily. The edge are like people from my town. They're like.... I'll do them if you think it'll help but I mean, I don't think they'll be too receptive you know? I'm off on holiday now, see you later thisweek!

We could do whay we appear to do best: Go at 10 projects at once So if we have a post with all the radi stations and tv stations we are using, we can kind of go through them all, once each through each week so that we get them all done if that makes sense.
