HI everyone!

My dream came true on October 2nd, when I got a picture with the whole band.

Vivian, Frederick and me waited for them outside the Newcastle venue for almost 3 hours, outside, in the rain. I think it was 4° C ajajajaja. But we didn't care, we wanted to get a pic.

The band's bus driver saw us freezing, so he brought us hot chocolate!! How sweet is that!! ajajajaja

The time came when at 2 am Neil and Andy came out.

You can tell by my smile that I was happy. :)

Then came Fran. I couldn't believe it! He gave me a hug and we took the picture. I'm still in shock.

And last but not least, Dougie. He's so cute!! He's always smiling! He told Frederick that his son had the same name and showed us a picture of him. He was beautiful.

I want to thank the band for being so cool. Now that I think back and I could have said sooo many things to them : ( like the following day I was traveling to Glasgow!!!, but well I am so thankful that I couldn't ask for more. I am also happy because I met Vivian and Fred ; ). They were so great. I coulnd't have waited that long if it weren't for them.

Thanks guys!!

Leti (still smiling)

A truly great night! Seeing the band live for real for the first time (and for the first time meeting some real fans), and in the end that cold wait was definitiely worth it.

Dear Leticia, Fredrik and everyone else,

This is my first post on Travisonline... I'm a newby!

It was smashing meeting the band, Leti and Fredrik, one of the most precious once-in-a-lifetime experiences! I'm so gonna love Travis for the rest of my life. They were so nice, and so were their staff and fans!

Great pictures posted here! I'm still sorting out mine for you two... Please kindly be patient! :D

Hopefully we'll see each other again soon. Like I said music is one magical thing. It brings people together, wherever you may be...

Hi Viviaan!!!

I-m so glad you replied! You can send them all! aajaajaj Today I'm in Malpensa, Milan. My plane was cancelled so the company sent us to a 4 star hotel, lunch included!! This is great news for a backpacker who has been traveling for 3 weeks...

Hope you can send more pics Vivian and thanks to all for the comments.

Ciao!

Leti
