Hi all

I've met Gary twice, once in August 1997 when he came to Australia to do a promo tour.

The other time was when TT came to Sydney last year for the promo tour, it was absoultly fantastic. I had my gary tour programme with me along with the photo of me and mark owen(for him to sign), the 'beautiful world' cd. I hadn't told Howard(who was very sweet and said he'll get mark to sign the photo-which he did*s*. Anyway, i hadn't told howard about the programme and while i was gathering up my items after they all got signed, i heard gary say''ow didn;t you know i had a calendar' i then realised thats my calendar woooooohooo sure enough, it was signed *it was a amazing day*.

Ok, i try to tell us my story... sorry if something is wrong
I met TT last year in madrid, i came to madrid with my sister and we went to the sign and then to the concert primavera pop, but when we were in the shopping centre where TT was signing i went to the WC cause they already signed my CD and when i left the wc was looking for my friends with my sister and we saw a lot of girls running and screaming cause TT was in wc. I went to see that and I saw mark gaz and how... but where was jason? i came back with my sister. When i was looking for her i met jason, he was alone and i go and said hello to him and i toke his arm saying jasooon jasooon then, when boys left the wc i run behin them and...
i'm going to write this in spanish cause i don't know how to say... please something translate this

what a lovely story Pe!

I should share mine too.....

Ok. It was long ago. It was 2006, end of June. I was in a strange mood. I was just back from seeing the lads at Milton Keynes. And I had a gut-feeling that I will never meet Gary in my life.
July was there, my mood was going worst and worst... August came and everything seem different. Gary was going to release his book and do signings in October. I didnt have much money but I didnt care I was determinated to fly to UK to see Gaz.. I knew it was then or never.

We had our flights, we had everything.We were going to Manchester. So we decided to stay in Chester. In a fab place called The Pied Bull- what lovely meals and desserts over there

It was Saturday so we decided to wake up at 7 to breakfast at 7.30 and before 8 am take a taxi to the railway station.

Antonio and I were sleeping at the end of the corridor so we were picking up the ladies (Nuria and Angela) and go down for some breakfast.
At 7.30 we knocked at the ladies room's door. But no answer. Knocked again. Suddenly we hear Nuria all crossed . They have fallen asleep... the alarm clock didnt work for them.
At 8.00 am we were going down... just took some corn flakes boxes and off to the railway station. Not only we missed the first train but also the 2nd one. There was no way we could arrive on time. The signing was starting at 11.00 am.
But luckily, we got one at 8.30 that took us to Crewe and there changing for Manchester Picadilly.

Once there we took a taxi to The Trafford Centre. We search for the WH Smith. My Godness what a queue!!!! I think we were about a thousad fans at least! We arrived right ontime 10.45

What comes after is all a memory that I have as a dream that happened so long ago. I remember being at the queue with Angela, and suddenly we heard lots of screamings from the fans under us- where was the book store entrance. Gary was arriving. Later on, Antonio and Nuria arrived with some piccies of gaz in their mobiles.

The queue went slowly. Seemed like ages. Angela didnt stop asking all the time to the girls there if Gary will sign us as there were so many girls ahead us....

When we were close to the entrance, I could see Gaz signing to the girls through the glass... I looked at him and my heart started beating so fast that I thought i was gonna faint. So... I stopped looking. Not looking at him was much better, and my heart, much more relaxed.

At 1pm my turn came. I cant recall much but, telling him we were coming from Spain just to see him. I remember I hold him and it felt soo... good Then he signed my book... and he said "Thanks for coming"... and dunno how but i reply "It's worth it".

This was the pic after that answer:


I was soo on the moon then, that I started shaking and throwing all the books and things from the shelves to the floor.!!!!

We were not thinking fo going to Liverpool but it was 3 pm and we had enough time... the signing there was at 5pm.
So we run to the railway station, and took the train, It was full of people.

Lukily we arrived soon. at 5.45. before it all ended- the signing finally started at 4.30pm. We had our second signed. Antonio and I this time went in together. I cant remember too much but.... holding Gary's hand, holding it and Gary holding back

Here some pix:


Gary and me:


Antonio and Gary- as my mum once said not long ago "my two loves of my life":



Nuria:


Liverpool:

Ginny I do absolutely LOVE that picture of Gary Antonio and you!Well done...still remembering the signings though they were great right?xxx

OMG Ginny, your pics rbought me to tears... i swear... real tears, not some wet eyes:)

i've no words to describe everything i have on my mind about thee photos...
Stating th eobvious that Gary is perfect!! I can't put it in any other word, like Mel as well.
And another fact is tha you have the loveliest hubby for being all the way with you and actually looking very pleased to be hugged by Gaz as well:)

And although i've said it before, i'll say it again- Antonio resembles to Gary when he smiles like that, because of the cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks

Anyway My friend Lou and I spent the night downing beers and having a dance watching all the fans bombard the dj box taking photos of the poor man while he was djing laughing to ourselves. Anyway 4am came and Howard finished his set so I decided it was time to go and speak to him and ask him for a photo...so I did!!

He was a little grumpy which I didn't blame him for at all as all through the night he had soooo many cameras shoved in his face while he was djing and we all know in the past he has asked for no pictures to be taken while djing as he finds it really off putting. Hence why I waited til he was finished before taking photos. Just a shame no one else listens to his wishes!!

Anyway I hardly spoke to him as I was abit numb and in awe of him!! Afterall I had waited 17 years to meet one of these beautiful guys and heres Howard one of my favourites right in front of me!!! All I managed to get out was 'Hi Howard, Brilliant set!' to which he replied 'Thanks' I then said 'Would you mind if I had a photo' he looked at me with those piercing blue eyes and looked away again without saying anything so I said 'Please just a quick photo as I haven't taken any tonight because I know you find it off-putting' to which he smiled at me and said 'Ok!'

I just about managed to get a photo with him (Only he didn't come out the dj box so it looks a little weird) and then a little shaky I just about managed to get a photo of my friend with him and he disappeared through the crowd. As brief as it was I'll always remember that little moment I met the beautiful Howard!!!

Although I would love to meet him again and catch him in a better mood. But as I said before I don't blame him at all for his mood....I blame the so called fans who didn't respect his wishes that night!!!

To be honest I'm suprised I managed to keep my composure as well as I did and remain cohearant!! I always thought up until then that if ever I was to meet any of them I'd be a blubbering nervous wreck and wouldn't be able to speak so I was proud of myself that night!!

Anyway I'm not gonna post my friends pic with him but heres the couple I did get...





And these I got from another forum from a girl who also went (but not with me)....and took photos all night!!

Hello there nice pictures here of Mr. DJ :=) love them they r gorgeous!Thanks for sharing looking forward to him being in Germany again now :=)Wonder if he plays Greatest Day mix again?
