Jos got to post before me! Right, now my story as I remember it from the Belgian HL invasion….*bear with me*
We got lost looking for the fooking “Moevement� not once, nor twice, but three times…*blush*. Anyhoo on arrival met up with a very nervous
FGG ~ “we’re playing for our friends so the pressure is intense� were words spoken…IZ it was worth it
, it was a quick organizing of where footage would be taped and a huge howzit to the nervous
Sam that runs around in a frenzy, although I’m getting used to it by now
with gorgeous
Kris who helps with sound-check….if it wasn’t for Kris!!! As all sounded good and everyone needed to eat before the gig, TG and I were dropped off by the FGG camp as IZ had left already, at the centre of Lier to meet up with our fellow HL crew for a delightful conference meal. It was such a warm welcome between friends with hugs and kisses and meeting of, for us someone new Ju*with "on top*rgen, who is delightful!
After a rush to get back to the venue, some had a change and did a make-up fix-up, people started arriving and the FGG crowd was around welcoming all. It was then that some photos were made and at last
James (my star in life),
Andrew (my good good friend) and again someone new in real life.. HL
RAF which was such a pleasure to meet arrived!
Raf, our conversation was such a heart warming experience, we have so much in common and what a good guy, even if you think I drive like a dutchman! *giggles* I knew the party would start soon as it would get emotional…
Koen arrived after one heavy day but we got you in the party mood right?!
It was then that the gig was about to start and we gathered around to take our places. Mr. Blast’s place was secure and security was around. Then FGG arrived on stage and the mind-blowing experience began…it was loud, it was soul-talking breathtaking and it moved some of us to tears and so much support, the vibes were felt within that venue like a magic moment in a dream! FGG ~ you proved on stage what you are all about and we were there to feel that and thank you all so much for a wonderful performance, where HL was in your hearts and felt between our people!!! You lucky Lier have the most amazing superstars within FGG and your women are just as special and amazing ~
Kaat and
Kris without you ladies, the stress would be insane ~ so my shout-out to very special friends!
The whole gig was caught on footage that will be first sent to the
FGG camp but I’m sure will go as a divine vine within these walls, all to be rounded off by the end of this week! *grins*
The after gig effect was HUGE!!! People had been blown away and much smoking *evil grin* was needed as was, knowing how much had been drunk, and I will add that except for all the Bob’s the rest of us were PISHED and on the road to destroying….HAHAHA!
Food was needed again, for some and believe me people of HL, our dear
boudicca does definately eat, as I saw her consume two meals before my eyes and those that were too fooking tired to destroy had a nap hahaha, don’t blame you though as you needed that second wind for later….
After a desperate text from
IZ as the party was dying, the HL crew arrived back at the party totally prepared for the invasion that was then definate. Three of our ladies (including myself although I’m not really a lady) were on the dance floor between the boys who were insanely busy dancing between us and it was non-stop dancing for us except for a quick sip of "re-fuel juice" and I’m sure there was champagne going around even on the dancefloor!
*please note that at this time I’m totally pished and high all together but still remember*…
….
HL owned that dance floor and we did indeed invade in the nicest possible way and our Belgium friends were just as amazing. No where have I felt more at home or more at ease with the people around me and the absolute of having you all within touching distance.
There were tears of course, but tears of immense enjoyment, the hugs and kisses between very good friends and the conversations of personal issues that we shared freely betweeen each other. It was all over too soon when we all had to go separate ways but I want to thank each and everyone of you, those that travelled from far and those that entertained us like no other…no where in the world will you find a community as loving as
myheartland, so thanks to
QB for our haven and to you lot for making this everything it is.
Now for the photos I took of the memories that we will all hang onto…
clicky for piccies
I love you guys, even if I have to say in a gay way, but I do. You feed my soul and are all such special people to me.
MB *with love*
