Timothy in London, 30 March 2010

[UK TimFan]

IT'S HERE..............

Must admit I'm a bit disappointed it isn't more U.S. shows BUT I'M TRULY EXCITED FOR TIMMY'S U.K. FANS!!!!!!!!
Cynd - :iloveyou: :bow: and I will never be able to thank you enough.


I don't quite know how I managed it, but thanks to your heads-up about the UK mini-tour I've managed to get a FRONT ROW seat for the London show.
I still can't believe my luck - and won't believe it till I have the ticket in my hand, though I've got the email confirmation.
The only problem is that the Cadogan Hall have a 'no cameras' policy and being on the front row it'll be impossible to take even a sneaky photo. :weep::weep: (I'm not greedy - just one little photo to prove that I did see Timothy B in person would be enough.)
So for the moment I think this is the best smilie to describe me - :thud:

And, yes, I promise to make lots and lots of notes and tell you ALL about it. :smile:

[TimothyBFan]

:partytime: Oh right, UKTF!!! Congrats and can't wait to hear all about it!!

[Toonlass]

Hi UK TimFan, where are you sitting? I've got front row seats too!

[UK TimFan]

Hi UK TimFan, where are you sitting? I've got front row seats too!
19. Where are you?

[Toonlass]

Right next to you! I have got seats 16, 17 and 18! :partytime:

[UK TimFan]

That simply couldn't be better. :)
See you there!

[Brooke]

This is great ladies! :partytime:

Can't wait to hear all about it!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

OMG - front row seats! How exciting for you both and what a wonderful coincidence that you will be sitting together. I'm sure that you will have a wonderful time at the show, and can't wait to hear all about it.

[sodascouts]

Wow, how exciting!! You must be thrilled! I know you will have a great time!

[Prettymaid]

I know that all of you will enjoy Timothy's energy in his solo show. Have fun!

[tbs fanatic]

How great that you will all be able to meet and all sitting in the front row. I remember what fun it was to meet Brooke at an Eagles concert in St. Louis. It's so great when you can put a face to a name.

[Toonlass]

I can't wait, really looking forward to it...now me, Elsbeth and Gemma just need to figure out what to wear! :stunned::wink:

[sodascouts]

Moved the posts on London to their own thread - they definitely deserve it! So excited for you guys!

[Toonlass]

Yay, our own thread! :hilarious:

[Freypower]

'When Borderers Meet' - again. How great for you all.

[UK TimFan]

Yay, our own thread! :hilarious:
I know. So cool. :) We only need Tim to come on stage and say 'I'd just like to say "Hi" to the Borderers' and I'll completely :faint:

(Also, thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts. What a party we'd have if you were all able to be on the front row with Toonlass and me. :crazy: )

[Koala]

WOW how exciting, enjoy Timothy solo concert, have fun ladies! I looking forward to hear everything about the concert!!!!

[UK TimFan]

My ticket arrived this morning!
Less than six weeks to go. :spin:

[Troubadour]

I wasn't sure if I was going to do this, because I'm still saving for my trip to the States in April to see the boys... but I am so close to London that I just couldn't resist! I've just booked two tickets to see this show. Row B in the stalls! My Mum's tagging along so that will be cool (she has a bit of a soft spot for Tim!) I'm really excited. :yay:

[Prettymaid]

I've just booked two tickets to see this show.

Yes! :yay:

[UK TimFan]

Make sure you come and say hello to those lucky people on the front row, Troubadour. :)
Definitely :partytime:

[Koala]

Cool! Have fun, I'm sure the show will be great!

[TimothyBFan]

I wont repeat what I just said on facebook -but you know how glad I am that you are getting this chance. I think it's wonderful that he is actually playing a 900 seat venue and I hope every seat is filled. I am, however, very glad that I got the chance to see him in such an intimate setting in Chicago. Hope they allow cameras and can't wait to hear all about it!!! ENJOY!!!

Not a chance. :enraged: :cuss: :censored: :machinegun: (Plus a few more!)
From the FAQ of the Cadogan Hall:
"Can I film the performance?
No. Cameras, video recorders, or indeed any recording devices (audio or visual) are strictly prohibited. Please ensure all mobile phones and pagers are switched off during the performance."

Personally I think it should be up to the individual performer to say whether cameras are permitted (I think I would perhaps agree with video recorders being banned). I remember years ago reading 'no cameras' at the Royal Albert Hall, so never took mine. I was so near the stage (almost touching distance, though at the side) so I would have got some great photos, because it seemed that almost every other person had taken their cameras.
Boy, was I cross.
I would agree that flash photography is perhaps a little off-putting, but if a performer said 'please no photos while I'm singing - I'll give you a photo opportunity later' most people would be good and wait. Wonder if a nice email to Tim might work? :)

[Prettymaid]

We have had the same thing happen at an Eagles concert - the ticket stated no photos allowed but then Glenn announced that it was okay to take pictures.

However, I just don't like being bothered with a camera at a concert. For me, it takes away from the attention I want to give the performance. I'll leave the picture-taking for others.

[UK TimFan]

Thanks for the glimmer of hope PM. I don't want to take hundreds of photos - and definitely none during a song. Just a couple to remind me of what I'm sure will be a memorable evening. :) And depending on when, if, and where, the Eagles ever play the UK again, possibly my only chance of seeing Tim. :weep:

[tbs fanatic]

It's going to be great. I am so :jealous: :nod:.

[Glennsallnighter]

I'm looking into going. Flights from Dublin to London would only cost all of €20 (all-in!!) for Laura and myself if we were prepared to travel early both mornings and the tickets aren't unreasonably priced either. AND the schools are closed that week as well.
Fingers, toes and everywhere else crossed :wink:

[Prettymaid]

:blueblob: Yay Lisa! Oh I hope you're able to go!

[TimothyBFan]

Have my fingers and everything else crossed also Lisa!!! Hope it works out.

[Koala]

Lisa, my Fingers crossed!! I hope you and Laura been able to see the show!

[Troubadour]

20 Euros?! Oh my goodness. You and Laura have to come. Tim will want his biggest little fan there!

[Glennsallnighter]

He will! Its probably definite assuming those flights are still available. Hubby has to see if he can get the day off work to mind Chris. If he can, we can :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the encouragement ladies :hug:

[sodascouts]

DO IT!!! When will you have this chance again? If your hubby can't babysit, find someone else who will mind your son for you. Surely you can call in a favor from a friend, enlist a relative, or even pay someone to watch him.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

... OR take him with you. :grin: GA, go for it - you won't regret it. It would be such a shame to deprive yourself and 'timtot' of the opportunity to see Tim. It will be totally worth it - trust your fellow Borderers who have seen a show. :nod: :nod: :nod:

[Prettymaid]

Do it! :nod:

[Brooke]

Ga, I'm with everyone else....you and timtot MUST go! Good luck!

[tbs fanatic]

Good luck. Fingers crossed.

[eaglesvet]

Sounds like a hot concert in a pretty good-sized venue! It's great so many Borderers are trying to be there! And I would try to smuggle a camera in...the worst that could happen is they make you put it back. I bet Tim will allow the pix...he didn't mind at all here at our shows, as long as there was no flash.

[Troubadour]

Got my tickets today! :yay:

[Prettymaid]

Got my tickets today! :yay:

I just know you're going to love it. He's so much more there in a solo show!

(You know what I mean...)

[Troubadour]

I getcha! I just can't wait to hear the Expando tracks live and to see Tim really come into his own.

[TimothyBFan]

You won't enjoy it at all and please don't take any pictures or video either. We don't need it because he really has no talent at all! http://bestsmileys.com/signs15/17.gif

[TimothyBFan]

I told Lou this morning, yesterday while Larry & I were out for breakfast, he said something about the date and it all of a sudden dawned on me that it was exactly a week before Tim would be in London and she would be seeing him. I told Larry that a week from today, I will hopefully be getting some kind of message direct from London! Not missing a beat, he asked which Eagle would be there and who from here would be going? :hilarious:

[Prettymaid]

That Larry - he is on the ball! :thumbsup:

[Brooke]

Too funny, Willie! :hilarious:

LOL! That's great!

[Troubadour]

Only a few days to go now! I'm really excited about seeing Tim. Keep your phone on, Willie! ;)

Yeah-like I'm going to forget to do that!!! :laugh: Remember, I was already talking about it this past Tuesday. I can't frickin' wait! I'm so pathetic---I'm excited just because I'm going to get a text from someone all the way in London at a Timothy show!! :shock: How cool is that? (hint--a on the spot pic would be nice if possible):laugh:

[Troubadour]

I'll do my best! ;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay ...

One More Day!!!

Hope everyone going has a blast and can't wait to hear all about it. :thumbsup:

[Koala]

Today is the show!:partytime:

At all who go to the concert, I wish a lot of fun! I'am looking forward to read your reviews and see (hopefully) your pics!

[TimothyBFan]

:blueblob: I'm so excited for everyone over there to finally get this opportunity! I will anxiously be waiting to hear all about it. Have fun everyone!!!

[Prettymaid]

My thoughts are with all of you who are going to see Timothy tonight, you lucky ducks!
Here's a taste of what you have to look forward to...

[TimothyBFan]

Those look familiar!! YUMMY!!! I was looking at those just a couple days ago during a bout of PTW and remembering how wonderful that show was. I certainly hope everyone tonight enjoys it even half as much as I did and they will come away adoring him!

[Glennsallnighter]

Have a wonderful time Lou and everybody else. I'm sure Timothy will put on a magnificent show. As you know Laura and I had hoped to go but with the family circumstances as they are its probably better that I be here instead. Anyway its snowing heavily.

Have a BLAST!!

And give Timothy a wave from Laura!!

Willie, just now as I was going to the Chicago thread to grab those pics I started rereading some of the posts. I think I'm going back there to read the whole thing.You're right - it all brings back fond memories!

[Troubadour]

Thanks everyone! I'll be leaving within the next couple of hours. How exciting!

[carol7lynn]

Have fun tonight and I look forward to your reviews!

[Brooke]

Have a great time, Troub, and can't wait to hear all about it!

[sodascouts]

She's probably on her way now - can't wait to hear all about it!

[TimothyBFan]

Yup--she told me this morning she was leaving about 10 my time (Eastern) and I think she told me it was about an hour, allowing for parking, finding seats, browsing, etc., they are probably there by now!! I'm just giddy with anticipation! :yay:Especially since this is the first time in awhile we've gotten the "inside" story again.

[TimothyBFan]

Lou update.....They are having something to eat and "have been to the venue (by Stage Door!) and it says doors open at 7:30. Then the support act, interval from 8:30 to 9pm. Tim comes on at 9!"

:blueblob:

[Prettymaid]

Oh! I had forgotten there's a support act.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Oh - this is exciting. I know Troub, UK TimFan, Toonlass, and Witch Mummy were going to this show. Any other Borderers there?

And GA - sorry you couldn't make it to London for the show. I know Timtot must be disappointed. :weep:

[TimothyBFan]

Crap---Lou is trying to send me a pic thru Vodafone.com but it won't let me retrieve it!! Maybe because I'm in the states? Any ideas?

[sodascouts]

Tell her to post it to her Facebook - you can download it from there.

[TimothyBFan]

I figured it out!!!

Her seats!!!! WONDERFUL!http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/williehoo/front.jpg

[Prettymaid]

Great seats - and the others are in the front row!

Does anybody recognize them?

[sodascouts]

It's very blurry but I think that is Witchy Mummy in black with the blond/brown hair who's turned so you can see a bit of her face. And I believe that is the lovely Toonlass with the long dark hair right next to her.

[Prettymaid]

Awesome! This is so exciting! I feel like I'm right there with them! (Wish I was!)

[Brooke]

Hey! Very :cool:

[TimothyBFan]

OMG--You guys---Lou just MET Tim!!!!! Yes MET him, and gave her 2 picks and guess where one of them is going to!!! LOL I don't know all the story yet! She had texted me a couple hours ago and told me that if she called, to not speak just listen! So I anxiously awaited the call ....that never came. She says she tried but it didn't go thru. :weep: I had a death grip on my phone the last 2 hours. Anyways, she texted while I was in the tanning bed to tell me the above. She is so frickin' excited right now. Imagine that!! I'm actually shaking because I am also. Can't wait to hear the WHOLE story.

HOW COOL IS THAT?

[EagleLady]

:fainting:

[tequila girl]

Can't wait to hear that story!!!:fainting::fainting:

[sodascouts]

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to hear this!!!!!!

[TimothyBFan]

Forgot to tell ya... Paul Carrack was also a guest again!! That's really great! Got the $$'s worth on this concert! ;-)

ETA--there are pictures. She will post when she gets home! I hope I have the patience! :fainting:

[Prettymaid]

ETA--there are pictures. She will post when she gets home! I hope I have the patience! :fainting:

That's the beauty of the time difference! ;-)

I'm so excited for Lou right now I can hardly stand it!

[Freypower]

Same here. I am really, really happy for her. :applause: :fainting:
