Thank you to The Cure for being so amazing!

Here is the only picture from the night I met Robert.

Me, my friend, Margaret (Robert's sister), Robert, Rita (Robert's mother).

I was so upset I had sweated all day and looked terrible to meet Robert! Bah.

My perfect cure experience.....

I had just turned 15 years old, and for my present, my mum decided she was going to escort me to Germany to see my all time favourite band live. After a crazy trip down to London at midnight, and a flight at something stupid like 6am, I was finally in Germany, and on my way for what was about to become, the best day of my life. After meeting many of my friends, and going out and returning to the hotel, it became apparent that there was something going on in the hotel opposite from ours…After a short investigation, it turned out that The Cure were staying in the hotel over the road from ours. After waiting for what seemed like forever, they finally came out of the hotel, to find about 10 fans waiting to see them [a couple of whom I didn’t know at the time, but are now some of my closest Cure friends…Nige! Tom! *mwah!*] I had managed to get away from the main crowd of people and was hiding away from Robert, Perry and Simon who were out in the crowd, now signing things and having pictures taken.

All of a sudden, I felt someone grab on my arm [it turned out to be one of my good Cure friends who I’d made this amazing journey with] and she dragged me over to Robert, and asked him if he would mind having a picture taken with me. By this point in time, I was in floods of tears and was probably scaring poor Robert to death [sorry about that Robert!] but he so kindly said yes, and I had two pictures taken with my all time hero. After the photos were taken, in all honesty, I thought I was about to pass out. So another friend came to my rescue, and held me up while giving me a fantastic hug! [Thank you Hugh!]

After all of this excitement, we made our way to the gig…And what a gig!!! Hamburg was the best Cure gig I have been to, and I will never forget it! Least of all the opening song…Want. A couple of weeks before the gig, I had e-mailed a certain member of the band, asking if that song would be played…And there it was, the opening song. I knew from that moment on I was going to be experiencing something special.

Thank you to The Cure for being so amazing!
