Ok well before the signing we went to the Maison Bertaux I think it's called down Greek Street in Soho. We went there to see Noel's artwork and it is really good. Some of the things hes done have turned up in the Boosh eg, Jahooli the leopard and the snake from the Hitcher episode in Series one. There was a painitngs of Bryan Ferry, Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger. There was a painitng of Naboo with his back turned with a caption that says "I'm gonna have to turn my back on you." There was also a painting of Dee with the caption, "The girl I love is called Dee she wears cowboy hats and tight trousers just like me." I thought that was really sweet. There were lots of little doodles and stories on the wall. Also the cafe is good too and it smells really nice. So if you're bored go there and see his exhibition its up till the 29th so you have the half term to get down there. You can buy his art too but you have to be quite well off because it ranges from £360-£8000...
Anwyay after that we went to the signing and they performed 6 or 7 songs. They were really good. Noel even turned up for a while but he disapperaed backstage because there were some crazy girl fans. Then we waited in line for them to sign stuff. They signed my album and they signed my friend's shoe. We also got Sue to leave a voice mail on my friends phone as she was in Bulgaria and she really likes them. ( She also missed the Horrors too which she was really annoyed about.) And then we waited around the shop looking at albums and we were given some posters advertising the signing that were around the shop. Then when we looked around to see where the Robots went we saw Ami from the former band DDIBB. We went down to her she loooked a bit lost. This is how the conversation went;
Bekki (my friend): Hi are you Ami from DDIBB?
Ami: Yeah I am
Did you come to see the robots then?
Us: Yeah
Ami: Oh have they gone?
Jesse (my other friend): Well they might be backstage or something but they're not right here now.
Ami: Oh ok
Bekki: We came to see you at Brighton but you cancelled.
Ami's phone rings
Ami: Whoops sorry hold on one second
She answers it. i think it might have been Betty Q from team awesome as she was at the signing too.
Ami: Sorry about that, anyway what were you saying?
Bekki: We came to see you in Brigton but you weren't there.
Ami: Oh yeah sorry we didn't do the gig it's because we're not together anymore. I'm on tour at the moment ( might of explained why she had a big suitcase with her) and we are still going to do stuff just seperately.
Us: Oh ok
Bekki: Can we have a picture with you?
Ami: Yeah sure.
Bekki's brother takes the photo.
Us: Thanks
Ami: OK I have to go now nice meeting you bye.
She left.
We then considered following her to see where she went as we saw her meet up with Betty Q at the top and were curious as to who was up there but then decided not to because that would have been stalking. We did wait around in the shop though as we got amused by the fact that you could listen to any album that you wanted if you scanned the album at this place and then you could listen to it on the headphones.
After a while though we got bored and left but we did see a few other Robots fans lurking around the store to see if they came out, but I doubt they were still there or if they were they were in there for most of the night.
It was a really good day though. The Robots were really good and Ami was really nice. Still haven't had the chance to talk to Noel though. Meh maybe third time lucky.x
