Hello, i went to a Hot Chip concert, few months back.
i could not see the stage very well as im rather short, i suggested to my other half that we move so i could perhaps get another vantage point, he refused so i danced futher back still at a space at the bar, bag in one hand pint in the other.
after the concert ended we went to a local club, where while out side smoking i met the lead singer of Hot Chip himself, i was quite drunk by this point and made rather a fool of myself hugging him!
also, he's as short as me!!

Grace Jones helped me onstage and touched my head when she 'summoned' the audience on to stage. (we were in the second row), i never washed my hair for some time afters.
Jimmy Saville posed for a photo when we met him in a bar in Glencoe, then the dirty bastar* groped my left breast.
Thats about it really.

237sj - How did that come about?

[237SJ]

We were `staff` and someone surprised him with it. He didn`t want to so he gave it to us. I don`t like cake but I had a little bit just to say I had!
