Ah yes, well, I'll have to rely on the others to post/email me the pictures, but it is true what the title boasts. We did in fact get to meet Brian and Roger for the who-knows-how-many-times, and Ben Elton! Who was lovely.
We waited for a while outside the Stage Door, and we were panicking about the possibility of them sneaking out the front, so I went to man the front doors, and I saw Roger in the foyer for a second, and eventually a good amount of our group came round the front, where Ben Elton came out. We said "Congratulations" and asked for a photo, he was sweet about it, and we probably offered him a condom.
Then, Sarah got a call from Alessia, who had just seen Roger go out through a completely different SIDE door, and she, Julie, and Pam (Tenement Funster) chased him down, and Sarah and I came HURLING around the corner, I threw my coke can (almost full) to the side, because I couldn't be bothered. Then, I over-shot a little with the running and doubled back in time to see Roger climbing into a TAXI! But, before, they had all asked Roger if they could have a photo, and he seemed about to say yes, but Justine - his manager/PA thing - said no. Pam touched his hair (which is soft) and he said to her, "Steady on, love, it's all I've got!" Then, Sarah proceeded to actually climb halfway into the taxi and offered him condoms, which he turned down by saying, "No, it's all right, I've already got seven!". Then Serena tapped him on the shoulder and pointed him in my direction - I believe it was the shirt (No Condom, No Party!), so I spread it out so he could read it, then I yelled through the window, "Congratulations, and good job!" and he smiled and nodded enthusiastically and blew me a kiss! Justine got pissy and pretty much shut the door on Sarah, and then he left.
After freaking out accordingly, we went back round the corner to the stage door to wait for Brian. I started to panic, thinking we might need to watch the front again, but shortly after he came out with Phil, his short and dumpy bouncer(?), and walked right up to us, determined, and said, "All right then!" and started signing everything. Sarah asked if we could have pictures with the shirts, and he said, "Ah, it's you again!" I mentioned to him that Arnhem and Hyde Park were just as good as Lisbon and Cologne, and he smiled and said, "Oh, thank you" in his really nice way, Sarah said she loved Imagine, and I said, "Oh yeah, I loved it, I was sobbing" (all while miming tears streaming down my face, haha) and then Sarah said she'll be in Aruba and then he pointed at Sarah and said, "Oh, I know you - you're on the film" and then looked at me, and Sarah asked what film, and he said the DVD, and she mistook that for Hyde Park, and he said, "Oh no - er, Sheffield!" I told him we'll be in New Jersey, he was impressed ("Oh wow" or something) and I said that I live in San Francisco and might be able to drive down to LA, which he was also impressed by. Sarah and Julie mentioned the Wurzels, and that they went to see them and/or Hayseed Dixie last week, and Brian said, "Oh yeah!...Bloody hell!" to which I, of course, replied, "Bloody hell, Leipzig!" and he laughed, kind of confused, and then I told him him that Sarah listens to the downloads and quotes them all the time. She shook her head mortified to get me to stop, but I was in too deep to stop at that point. Brian said, "Whatever turns you on" Sarah denied or said it was stupid or something, and Brain assured her that it was fine, and that she could do what she wanted. Then Julie held out her Mumbasa WWRY shirt to sign and Brian said, "You have to hold it tight, or else it won't work." He proceeded to sign more stuff, and I said, "Oh yeah, how was your birthday? Was it good?" (which Vern thought was a stupid question) and he turned to me and said, "Oh yeah, it was pretty good, yeah" while nodding. Then, when he showed that he was going to be leaving, we all held out our handfuls of condoms at the exact same time, and he laughed in surprise and help up his hands and said, "Thanks, I'm fine!", and turned, waved goodbye at the door, and disappeared back inside.
Ahh, it was amazing. I'll tell the rest of the story through my pictures!
