(no subject)
Finally I have enough time to post some of my pictures and feelings from the Spring Fever.
This first part contains Thursday night and my feelings about that... Won't post nothing too long since so many people have already read far better reports than mine's gonna be... But anyway.
Went to the Rich Mix center with jamalov29. It was great to share it with you, Caroline!!
So soon after the registration we were lead into the room and there was a little delay due to some people having trouble getting there because of some tube problems.
But we got to see a little movie made of a few chosen scenes from the play ‘Teechers’ that James did back on the QM in September. It was fun clip to see.
Then it was time for James to come in. He was dressed all black, gorgeous, hair all curly and cute. :)
He spoke to us a little bit about the play he was going to read.
The play was very entertaining and funny to watch James do three parts (2 women and a man), and the play itself was lovely and funny. I really enjoyed it. The way he can convey the feelings and emotions through his voice and facial expressions truly prove how much he is a stage actor. Very, very nice moment.
The there was the dinner raffle and a little break.
After that it was time for the concert.
It lasted about 45 minutes and it was a lovely way to spend it. :)
Won't post the set list since I'm sure everyone already knows what he sang.
But my favorites were:
Button Down Vandals - great song
Fall of night - One of my favorites, and he sang it in a heartfelt way.
Hold on son - A new one he's written for his son.
Like a waterfall - The way he sang this touches me like nothing else.
Of course, I loved all the songs but these were the favorites.
And all the songs showed how far he's come with his vocal skills. He's just getting better and better...
Then it was mingling time . He came in , looking healthy ,happy. He's so at ease, so comfortable with fans, not nervous at all. He was friendly , smiling, laughing .
I managed to get his attention for a few minutes and it felt so nice. :)
I got a hand kiss (thanks to jamalov29 since she got it first. :-) ) and got to give my gifts to him. He was sorry that he couldn't look at them right away but that it would take too much time to stop and look at all the gifts he gets. I told him that I understood, no problems about that. :)
It's just so great to look into those blue eyes so close.. this was my first time this close and I'll never forget it. :D
It was time for him to go to another bunch of persons and he left with a smile.
I also got to say hi to mad_brilliant_, it was nice to meet her too...
I mingled a bit and little bit later on was taking pictures near James and was really close by when he gave hugs to people and kind of found my way accidentally to his bath and got a second hug. He started to give the hug as he was moving at the same time, then stopped to look and said; I've already hugged you. But decided to give me one again anyway.
And have to say, didn't mind it at all. :-D
It was really lovely night and we left with jamalov29 almost at the same times as James. And like Caroline's already posted on her on LJ; we got to walk for a little while just behind him ,Steve and another person on the sidewalk , and that image struck me as something that represented perfectly James : a simple guy quietly walking down the street like any other man. I love that about him . He doesn’t behave like a star .
I second what she said and that's why I quoted her words and feelings. :)
But after this rather longish post, I'll put some pictures I took. Enjoy!!
It can take a while for the photos to load since they are rather big.
