By my calculations Trixie should be at that stage door round about now

I do so hope she gets to see Craig.

OMG if you're having dreams like that now, what will they be like by the end of November

Still giggling picturing the scene though

If the gods shine on us and we pull off a Craigette group booking - rest assured, you will have the seat of honour next to Trixie.

PS - group bookings don't count as another show BB. Averaged out, it only counts as, say 0.1 of a seat. Not admissable as another booking!

I like your thinking, but somehow I don't think my OH will see it that way

Have you thought of trying the ' going to a reunion' approach.

either that or... "I'm just popping out for a pint of milk, dear"

If all else fails - just suggest a larger Plasma screen .. works every time for me!!

We're a bit short on Craigettes going to shows in the North of England. Perhaps the Southerners could meet up with the Scottish posse halfway?

Guess you'll be on your way back home now Trixie. Hope you're floating, and still breathing

I'm sure you had a fantastic time. Can't wait to hear your news - and hopefully see some photos.

Well done on the 12 shows

Think I had my mid-life crisis about 10 years ago, but love your idea about the week of "me" time before your birthday, I must do something like that. How about a week in Worthing?

That would be a great way to prepare for "special" birthdays

Hope to hear great news of last night from Trixie soon, if she's down from cloud nine

Jean

Hello

I had the most fantastic night last night. The show was claptastically good and I got to see Craig. I had a good long chat with him for about 15 minutes ! Amazing

Will tell more when I get a chance - but its my bf's birthday today, this day is his

Heres a photo of Craig stepping out to greet the fans to tide you over for now

I got to meet Chris B and Keith too and we all got autographs - I didn't take hardly any pics I'm afraid Guess I was a little starstruck ! But I have a few and I'll post them soon. I found Matercula from the Keith thread and bumped into Obsessed Amy, one of Bens Angels, too We had a silly moment waiting for the guys to come out the stage door and Amy, I hope the pics I took were ok ?? Craigs fault if they're blurred

15 Minutes??? WOW, to get that long you must be his NO.1 fan

Hope your bf enjoys his birthday, and can't wait to read your news, a long chat like that must have (hopefully) some news for the rest of us???

Jean

Trixie,

I am so pleased for you. Your evening turned out perfectly. Hold on to that happy feeling!!

PS - Glad I'm not the only one to do the shaky photos!

Jean and BB,

As mid-life crisis events go, this full-on Joseph week sounds inspired to me!

Easter is time enough for the credit card to have recovered!

Hello Stashy

Yes, that week is sounding better every minute Must be patient for a while though, just in case it might be nearer to me the following week, wish there was a way to find out!

Jean

I am so pleased you enjoyed it Trixie, sounds as if you had a fab time - I know EXACTLY what you mean by "claptastic"!!

Oh Jean,

Just think long and hard before you do it as I've just worked out how much it's all costing The tickets for Bath, High Wycombe, Plymouth and Cardiff were bad enough but I think I'm going to be paying for the Bristol week for years to come

Trixie, that sounds magical. Also - "claptastic" is the most delightful new word, isn't it?! Good for you, tend to the bf, and share photos when you're ready.

BB, the trouble is, the more I think the more attractive the idea becomes

I'm sure the week is costing a hell of a lot, but as they say, "it's only money" Just think of all the pleasure you will have remembering it

Another thought, when my family ask "what do you want for your birthday?" I can say "a ticket for Joseph please"

Will give it more thought as you suggest

Jean

TRIXIE

Thank you for popping the pictures on the Keith thread


Sounds like you had another amazing time - brilliant


I love your black and white pic of Craig - you are the photo queen !!

Really pleased you met Matercula

Can't wait to read your full review xx

I'm hanging on to see if there are any shows annouced closer to me. I was just thinking about all the different types of ticket buying I could go for when the time comes:

Here's my list of ticket types. (not sure if I've got them all right )

‘Trixie’ – One show – evening performance.
‘Dotty’ – Two shows – drive to one, fly to one.
‘Taffy’ – Opening week show PLUS Star-studded party *envy*
‘Red Lady’ – Three? shows – queen of the matinee.
‘PJB’ - lone Craigette at McJoseph’s most northerly show
‘Itslmo’ – Jet across the Atlantic to see McJoseph in his home town.
‘J’ – Jet across the Atlantic to see Joseph on the West End
‘Hippo’ – Masterly choice of seat at Edinburgh show!
‘Bigsy’or ‘lewis’ - Festive show in Scotland’s Capital City

And, of course,

The ‘Bunny’ – the Queen Bee ultimate set of tickets.

Pretty good Stashy, no need for the question mark for me, it is three, like the queen of the matinees, though as you say BB is Queen Bee

You missed out Siouxsie though, she did two at Bromley, not sure if another after?

Jean

Looks good Stashy
Minor correction - I went to 2 opening week shows (came right out of the first show and bought tickets for the following days matinee)
-I would have gone the whole week but we went on holiday the next day
Maybe in 2008

Stashy - you can add me

MrsP - West End in a panic, Cardiff 'rugby weekend' - manic

(Keep disappearing off the list for Cardiff Sat 17 Nov evening performance - Dress Circle - hope it's not an omen)

PS Wild women week in Worthing sounds very interesting

Stashy

You missed yourself out

Stashy Shaking Craigette - best i could do !
