Hi there... Well, Paul asked me to give some lowdown about Ian´s visit to Chile. Well... I have nothing. I couldn´t go to the concert because I had my cousin´s wedding, and it was damn important :s just couldn´t miss it. Instead I took a wild visit to some hotel Ian likes to go in Santiago, at lunch time last friday, hoping I could meet him for the first time ever. The chances were slim and none, since I had no info about him but the hotel he was staying at. But the Gods would reward me... after 25 minutes of random walking at the hotel I found him, sitting alone and reading the Menu of some restaurant. I couldn´t believe it... I came close and said: Ian... hi... I´m just a fan looking for a picture with you... I "stupidly" put my hand on the air to shake his, but he would look at me and put his elbow to rub it. I thought "of course, Daniel, you fool".. anyway, it was all very quick, he wasn´t very pleased with my presence, but he knows ho he is, so he gently stood up and smiled for a single picture. The waiter took the photo and for some reason the flash didn´t work, (though I checked it minutes before) but Ian wasn´t in the mood for a second one... he sat again and told me: there you go, there you go... I said: amazing... thank you. And that was all =P I fixed the lights a bit in photoshop. Anyway... it was quick, but a dream come true.... I know I was very lucky. Shark Attachments:

Hey Daniel,
Well I have to say I wasn't expecting to heat that! But good for you for taking the chance to run into him at the hotel. I guess you just caught him at a bad time - when he was hungry!
;D

I guess you just caught him at a bad time - when he was hungry! ;D Ha... yeah, I know... he was probably very hungry. It was clearly not the best moment, but it´s the ONLY moment I´ve had to run into him in ah... 28 years now. Still, it was a very good day for me Shark

Ian was definitly thinking: "lush hotels and pretty (boys) won´t cheer the misty mood I´m in..."

Ian likes his quiet time, so I think it's nice he posed with you.

It's great that you were able to meet him, SharkDan, and I wouldn't worry too much about the circumstances. The important thing was that you were able to get a nice photo of Ian smiling beside you!

Jeff Absolutely, Jeff... I honestly never thought I would have the chance. It´s one of those things that just happen and "close" a chapter in your life. I mean, I´m done with that subject now, ha... I met Ian! So cool Cheers, Shark
