Just thought I'd make a thread about it...
I went to the HIM signing at Virgin Megastores in Piccadilly Circus yesterday!
There were a few fuck up's...but if I'm about, there's bound to be fuck up's!
First of all, I booked the train tickets last week on the t'internet....they had no decent times i.e. 8:00am, because that was gonna cost £124 return! So, we had to get the 11:27am train...half the friggin day gone already! Anyways, about an hour before we got on the train I just checked the tickets and noticed that they'd fucked up with the return ticket! I booked the one's that left London at 10:00pm. They'd sent the one's that left at 8:00pm. I tried to change them. They wanted me to pay £78...I told them where to shove it!
So, we were due to arrive at Euston at 2:08pm. That gives us just under 6 hours in London. Well whoop de fucking do! I at least wanted a spare 30 minutes to pelt David Blaine with eggs.
We arrived at Virgin...the queue was huge. There were at least 3000 people there. Luckilly I had some friends from the Bam Margera Message Board there. They'd queued from 12:00.
The queue started to move around 5:30. There were about 300 people in front of us. They all wanted around 4 things signed each. Fuckers. Didn't they know we were on a tight schedule? It looked like we'd have to leave before getting anything signed. The security guards and organisers decided to tell everyone that they would only sign 1 item, as the were in a hurry to get on stage for 9:30 for a gig in Camden Underworld.
As we got to the front of the queue, we had 10 minutes before we had to leave. So I got my Special Edition Razorblade Romance cd booklet signed. A few photo's, as you do. On the way out, if you were in the lucky first 1000, you got a great HIM coffin for your cd singles.
We rushed to get back to Euston...and made the train with 5 minutes to go.
Well, it was worth it to me.
Beats going to work.
