Absolutely blank! I started to say some stuff like > "this was my first show of yours" and "are you guys coming back this > summer?". Pretty random, nervous talk coming out of me. Basically > shit he didn't care about but he was so polite and thoughtful. That's happened to me. Not once...but twice! When I met Gary on the 1998 Exile tour, my mind was totally blank. I introduced myself and he knew who I was from my website (The Sleeproom). That killed me! Here I was, meeting the biggest influence on my life, and he knew my name! So...pffft...every coherent thought I had was gone. I mumbled something about the performance being great and blah, blah...and he was perfectly sweet about it. When it was over, I walked up to Gemma and talked to her for a bit. She told me that she froze up the first time she met him too. So, this year, I was determined to keep my wits about me and actually say something coherent to the man. I almost did it. I did manage to tell him that I really appreciated him taking the time to meet everyone after the show (or something.) He was obviously very tired, but still as nice as could be.

What are NumaNazis? Thats a very unattractive tag. Who are these people? It maybe a comedy tag, but you know, some people don't find this kind of association funny.

I have watched mine twice! In five years or so! The music (CD) is actually quite good, it's reasonable background music! Worth buying on completist grounds, and listening to once in a while. Paddy Vickers P.S. Like 'Human', you might have fun deciding which tracks became songs in later life!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 May 2001 22:37:12 +0100 From: vickers@netcomuk.co.uk Subject: Re: Backing musicians I thought that counting how many shows each musician has done was very interesting. Full marks to Jeff. I think it would be wonderful if the Tik-Tok Man had MORE time on HIS hands, because I think he can be VERY amusing! Good luck to both, Paddy Vickers (again!) ------------------------------ End numan@garynumanfan.nu Digest [05/09/2001 18:01] --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- T H E G A R Y N U M A N D I G E S T is produced, moderated, and distributed by Derek Langsford, Dave Datta, and Joey Lindstrom dlangs@sunstroke.sdsu.edu, datta@cs.uwp.edu, Joey@GaryNumanFan.NU ------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to the messages in this list, email: numan@GaryNumanFan.NU If you want to be removed, or someone wants to be added, email: listserv@GaryNumanFan.NU and include this line as the first line of your message body: SUBSCRIBE numan@garynumanfan.nu (email address) or UNSUBSCRIBE numan@garynumanfan.nu (email address) (email address is optional but useful if you have multiple addresses) If you want to switch between receiving Digests or individual posts, again send to listserv@GaryNumanFan.NU and include either of these in your message body: NORMAL numan@garynumanfan.nu or DIGEST numan@garynumanfan.nu ------------------------------------------------------------------ Please note: this mailing list is configured to automatically unsubscribe you if mail to your mailbox goes undeliverable for any reason.
