OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!

Just back from meeting Adam. I'm not great with descriptions etc, but I'll try. It was a very small group, maybe only 20 people? They wouldn't let anyone else in, so my friend from Seattle had to wait outside, but it actually turned out ok for her. Tell you about the later. And I will be posting the videos shortly.

He was wearing those light gray/green pants, the green leather jacket, black shirt which I think had a skull on it, and his hat. He was heading to the airport afterwards, and said he was really tired:( .

I was in the front row!! He was 8 feet in front of me. Started off with questions and all of my questions were asked, lol. I don't even remember what I asked. I asked him the question about if he sees lights in his head when he sings, (someone here wanted to know about that). He said, no, lol. He said maybe only when the lights hit off of the glitter on his eyes he'll see some lights in his head when he sings. I asked him if Sauli ever sings to him and he said, yes, sometimes. And he said they have some private songs that they sing to each other, but he wouldn't say what they were. Someone asked if he ever skinny dipped or streaked. He said he's sure he streaked before, I think he said no skinny dipping. He talked about food, his family. He said that Sonisphere was cancelled and he was sad about that but that they will try to do something else in the future. I asked him if they might do something in July, somewhere else in England and I think he said he wasn't sure, but maybe. She ask him my questions also about his worst habits (he said food), any pet peeves (he said he didn't like ignorant people and people that claim they know facts but really dont.)

The DJ asked him who would take longer if they both got out of the shower together, lol. His answer was funny. I have it on video. He said him, he needs more help getting ready than her:) After the first round of questions he said he was going to move closer to us, because he felt too far away and then he had the guys turn off the mike. So he sang BTIKM and WWFM without the mike, it was GREAT and right in front of me!! He looked at everyone in the room:)

Then more questions, someone asked him about the songwriting process, they talked about his biggest supporter and he said mom and dad, and started talking about the music etc. that he listened to when he was a kid, (his dads stuff), he talked about how excited his dad got when Adam discovered all the rock stuff. Then the DJ asked him about the Sonisphere and he was sad and said it got cancelledL:( He said he was bummed about it but also said that maybe later he and Queen will get together and do something else. I asked him if they were looking to do something in July at like another venue and he said that'd be cool. Then I asked him if they'd ever cancelled Sonisphere before but he didn't know.

Then the DJ asked him what kind of music he likes to listen to he talked about he really was into pop, MJ and Madonna. He talked about about his last album being over the top and then about this new album being more funky. The DJ asked him when it's coming out and he said May 16th!! He corrected himself really quickly, lol and we all corrected him too!

After the the DJ asked him about the Bruno Mars song and he said YEA, we're gonna sing it now. But then he was talking to Tommy and bit and they didn't sing it, he sang WWFM instead. Before he sang it though, he started talking about birds and doing a bird medly lol. No clue why he started talking about birds, lol, it was funny. After that he sang WWFM acoustic, it was awesome!

After that, more talking. The DJ was gonna wrap things up but Adam wanted us to ask him more questions, lol.Someone asked him about cooking, he talked about going to Trader Joes and getting precooked meals, someone asked him his favorite lyric that he wrote and he said, "before you break you have to shed your armour, take a trip and fall into the glitter", then the kid told Adam that his favorite lyric was, "you're soul will be ok" and Adam said, awwww, wish I had written that one, lol and everyone laughed.someone asked him how his finnish was and he said not very good, then he said a long line in finnish and we asked him what he said, and he said "I just cursed" LMAO!! HE said it's a hard language and then he talked about meeting Madonna. My friend then asked him about improve and if he does it on the fly or if he practises it, he said its mainly on the fly, some is rehearsed and some he screws up, lol. Someone asked him if he'll ever sing Can't let you go, but he said he's into the new album is over the old album, said it's a hard song to sing. Someone asked him if he ever went to Coachella and he has but he hated the big crowd. He talked about some of his favorite bands, Muse, Casabian, Semi Precious Weapons. That was about it.

Then we did INDIVIDUAL photos!!! OMG!!!! I was third to go up, I shook his hand, told him it was so nice to finally meet him. I put my arm around his waist, and I think he had his arm around me. All of of sudden he started laughing and bent over (taking me with him, EEEEEEEEEEEE!!), lol. Don't know what happened. All I know is that I got a little extra time with my arm around him and his around me. Then they took the picture, I don't even remember if I smiled, lol. Then before I left, I asked him for a hug and held my arms open and he bent right down and gave me a hug!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! LOL!

Then we went downstairs to find my friend from Seattle who wasn't able to come in. And she told us that after the group had all gone inside, that Adam came and she was able to say hi and talk to him quickly and he promised to come back out afterwards!!

Sooooooooooo, he DID come out with Tommy and some lady (not the short mean lady with the short hair,but another nicer lady) and we got to shoot the shit with Adam and Tommy for like TEN FRICKEN MINUTES!!!! OMGGGGG!!! So I was talking with Tommy and asked him if he had eaten. He said no,and I told him he couldv'e gottena burrito up there coz they fed us Una Mas. I didn't eat anything though, lol, didn't want to smell like onions next to Adam. I had two pics of Tommy that I had taken myself and blown up and I had him sign those. He loved them. He was very talkative and smiley. When I met him in Sacramento on tuesday he seemed depressed and sad that day. I think he thought it was cool that I had something for him to sign and was talking with him.THEN, I went over to Adam, lol. I had a picture from Nokia in LA that I had taken and blown up. He signed that for me and told me that his hair was HORRIBLE that day, lol. He was sooooooo sweet and nice. We were so lucky coz if the mean lady had been with him, there is no way she would've let him hang around with us like that.

After that, he left and went straight to the San Jose airport to fly home to his love:)

That's my story girls/guys. It's been a GREAT day, a GREAT week. I finally got to meet Adam and get a hug and talked to him a LOT!!!! I'm just on cloud 9 right now, haven't come down yet.

I posted some pics on FB. I'm going to work on the videos right now. I'm so appreciative of the fact I was able to meet Adam and see him perform twice up close like that. And to actually talk to him and shoot the shit! Who would've thought!!

Thanks for the recap suebluern.
