LIBERA MEET & GREET, oct. 23, 2011, SM d'block atrium (PART THREE)

to be honest, i had this plot to check on a few people. i wanted to do something which was a bit "unfinished" during last year's M & G. much as it was exciting to see the boys again, to me it was done - i just wanted to see the newbies - well, josh, stefan, matthew, the collins brothers and cassius, the meow being the "oldies". maybe fate wanted mitch to go to SM because we were finally destined to meet andy winter. to those unfamiliar with what i'm talking about, mitch and andy had "issues" in the past, during last year's M & G. it ended well but what would be a fitting scenario to close the issue with the people involved meeting and talking personally - and it happened. it started with a "quite a long convo" (compared to last year) with her majesty, barbara (the chaperoness). awww, she was so sweet & extra accommodating now. i think we had our pics taken, surprisingly, not on my camera :( i don't recall now who took the picture. i asked her a lot of things and so did mitch. i can just remember asking her how tom cully was, her reply "oh, he's good".. and that to please send my regards to tom c. & to tell him that he still has a lot of fans here; asked if this could be josh's final tour & her reply was "who knows"? yes, only prizeman knows, hah hah

we waited for THE man. barbara said he was 'somewhere'. mitch & i really had the intention of meeting him now - it's now or never. and there he was. tsk-tsk, he knew us!!! when he approached us and we told him that we wanted to meet him, he readily said "you must be mitch" (and shook mitch's hand); "and you must be thelma (shook my hand). awwww, i wanted to faint!! everything fell into place! the look on his face while talking to mitch was simply awesome! and what more, obliged for picture taking, too! so now it can be told mitch - we didn't go there for the libera boys - we went there to meet a new friend! and according to mitch, while heading for the exit after the M & G, andy threw a hand on him. nice one, mitch young! proud of you both...

tomorrow, i'll do the uploading. haaay, what a way to end the day! the boys of libera, andy, barbara, yuki and mom, sofia, jack, riel, irvin, and of course mitch.
