London March 20, M & G EUROPE, It was a magical day for me, I was going to meet with Europe, my beloved band was nervous, excited, but happy, wanted to live the moment intensely, it was a party, Meet with the band and then go to their concert, I wanted to live it in a special way and it was so.
Arrive at the theater, we upgraded to a room enabled for the meeting, with a canvas with the name of the band prepared for photos. The band appeared: Joey, Mic, Leven and Ian. Very relaxed, smiling. The people were happy, very quiet. First we did our picture with the band placed beside the canvas, ... maybe that was the coldest moment, more prepared. When my turn came I approached the band and starting with Ian gave them my hand greeting doing a short presentation; "Hello I'm Eva from Spain" then to Mic, Joey the next and finally John Leven, ... and I said, " Thanks, I'm happy !!" LOL ... well I was nervous, do not know why I said it, but it was how I felt. They smiled in a natural and friendly manner.
Then the boys were separated and distributed throughout the room, and it was when we could approach them. Most people wore many articles, pictures, posters, ... to sign by them, but I don't, I respect everyone to use that time to try to get a firm but I just wanted to talk to them, and if I could a photo. They were lovely, they all very nearby, accessible, signed everything, took photos with everyone, talked to everyone, was incredible.
:ian00:First I had the opportunity to get close to Ian, I asked for the Tour, if he was tired? He said no, He was being a good boy, also I thanked to him for his comments on facebook, ... I there was already hallucinating, I loved to see him and talk to him, an honor. :joey00:With Joey were several "great moments" to me, first because I lived a nice scene in which a girl (my respect for her) sang HERO with verse and chorus to Joey hahahaha, Joey looked shyly, but the girl was excited and I'd just there lived the moment waiting for to talk with him, are those rare moments the we all lived, haha haha... when it ended I approached him and I turned to present me, was magical, I could tell something very important to me, although I'm sure he has heard and many fans, I was able to thank him for how important it was his music in the difficult moments of my life, he collected my comments with gratitude in his gesture, very humble ... wonderful, he said he was glad to have been able to help me. And now the third moment and important for the forum: I asked Joey if he knew Aphasia forum? ... And friends !! HE TOLD ME THAT YES !!!! And he began to smile again ... "Oh yes, I check it" ... and then he ask me: What's your name there? So nervous I said: I am "EVA TOMORROW" and he said "Aaah, ok I know" and he smiled again ... OK FRIENDS is confirmed, Joey reads us !!!! ... THAT GREAT RESPONSIBILITY !! I think he likes this site, is my appreciation for his kind smile when I talked of Aphasia Forum.
:leven00:Then John Leven, very polite, charming, very quiet, is a guy who moves very calmly, I could talk a little with him, I congratulated him for WAR OF KINGS, he asked me what my favorite song,? I said it depends on the day but especially "Days of rock n roll" was very exciting to have John ahead and talk about WOK, ... everything was for me really amazing.
A gentleman, signed "thousands of items" he stayed until the end when they had gone the other guys in the band, and gave us a big hug to two Spanish girls who were there and to me (Yeeeees, Mic hug me! ) he's a great guy.
Thank you very much to the band, was a very happy moment for me, never forget. It was not there John Norum, I would have loved to see him. I hope someday I'll get to greet him, my fingers crossed.
Here I'm really happy

Thank you friends, I really enjoyed it a lot and I was less nervous than expected, I guess it's a matter of age ... I guess the only good thing of to be older is to see everything differently and enjoy everything to the fullest.
jarkam, John Leven seemed to me a lovely guy, when I congratulated him by WAR OF KINGS and he asked me about what my favorite song? I remembered how ent some years ago (I think it was in the old forum) told us that a in signing record event he was lining up with other fans and there was a problem and he stopped in front of Mic who said him: Hi! How are you? And ent told us with his particular ironic style and wonderful analysis of situations, that what should be happening on the earth with conjunction to other planets for Mic Michaeli told him in that moment How are you? LOL .... that was exactly my feeling ... what is happening in the universe to John Leven want to know what my favorite song WOK? oooook was a M & G and they should be friendly, but anyway, it was a really special moment.
ent, you know about Joey and the forum was amazing, and I remembered the "battle" ... hahahaha how fun it was and how great times we had, well probably Joey followed it, or maybe not, I don't know, but he smiled in a wonderful way, and that is very important. I almost ask to him about "the battle" but I was just so excited that he "knew" who I am !!! that I couldn't to speak of nothing else.

Eva, that's a nice story with Mic.. lovely guy too. March 20 was a special day, no doubt. What happened in the universe? certainly many things but definitely one partial solar eclipse, at least in our latitudes- maybe you've noticed also in London.. well, but this probably did not affect on John's choice of question I'm glad guys made a good impression to you. They must be very proud of the WOK, all new songs sound really great live.. I've seen some videos from UK. Surely is pleasant for them to hear positive feedback from fans. Great that you was able to talk to them in a calm and clear mind, it's not easy. You have my admiration. In my case always occured an eclipse of the brain..

Wonderful story Eva. Funny that Joey told you he's aware of this forum. After the first WOK show we all discussed the setlist and gave various ideas for other songs... and they played many of those mentioned
