So, I'm going to the Goo show in Liverpool July 11th, and that is pretty much the awesomest thing that could happen to me.
 
 
Then I won a meet & greet pass. Heeheeheeheeheeheehee.  
 
 
So I thought, "whattheheck, I might as well do a proper report of this", and this I shall do.  
 
This post serves thus two purposes
1) To share the pure friggin joy of meeting the Goos  
2) Report about the show (and the new song)
 
I'm looking forward to it so much!

Go you!! Have you ever met them before? It's a really awesome experience. Just remember (and I learned this the hard way), if you're short, hug Mike around the middle, not around the neck.
...
You know what, just do that if you're average, because he's really freaking tall, and I kinda want to be the only one who's bashed him into a bus.

I've never met them before and I've never been to a show before, so I'm doubly blessed with this. My first show and I get to meet them. I mean, wow.  
 
I'm pretty tall, like 5'10". He's like 6'2" or something? So I think I'll manage pretty well.  
 lol, bash him into a bus. I'm sure he remembers you xD

Congrats on the M&G.  I've never had a proper one, so I have no advice (the 'don't assault Mike' advice is pretty good though).  
 
Yay for promising to report back.  We WILL hold you to it!  Cheesy

I met them at my second show, and it was the first show I went to since joining the IM, and I thought there was NO WAY I was gonna win. I entered my name, like, a month before the show, and immediately regretted giving myself that hope. Needless to say, I about died when I saw my name on the winner's list.
 
Yeah, I'm about 5'3"...And I think he's 6'3". That's a full foot towering over me.
Actually, he doesn't, cuz I met him again about two months later, and he wasn't afraid of me or anything.
I would have been. And he seemed to be in the first picture. (totally shying away from me)
 
 
On the other hand, I'm one of few people I know who have actually managed to get them all smiling in my picture. And the second time, I didn't bash anyone into a wall, and Johnny didn't smile. So the secret is cause them bodily harm = make them laugh.

Have fun, fun, fun.
 
I've met them a few times and each time they were very nice and gracious. The organized M&Gs are usually VERY quick, so be sure to pay attention and enjoy it Smiley
 
Looking forward to reading your review.

Congrats on the Meet and Greet!  
 
Denise is right....it goes by super fast ... almost like an assembly line. So definitely pay close attention.  
 
I can't wait to read all about it.

You can stretch it if you try really hard. Obviously don't take, like, ten minutes, cuz there's other people in line, but just remember to be sure you're done talking to them (if you can do that! Smiley) before you turn around, because they snap the picture and shove you off as soon as you do. At my first M&G, I don't think the whole thing lasted a full minute, but I talked to Robby and Johnny for at least that much each at my second.
