If you're following my blog since my first (ok, maybe second) post, so I guess you know who my crush is, and so, you know how we met.
But because I love that story (because I have so many good memories of that day), I'm gonna tell you this story, again (and if you knew how much I'm waiting for the day 28 => the person who changed your life !)
February 2009.
I'm in Lyon, Uni is over, I need to find an internship to validate this very last year of studies. After 100 phone calls, I know, now, that my first day will be March 2nd, at Jarring Effects.
What an internship !!! I think I will never stop thanking my dear Poussin for pushing me to M. Mo to have the name of this crazy guy in charge of the promotion !!! At Jarring Effects, a lot of new co-workers, new friends, a lot of fun, jokes. They play with me, I play with them. I tried to not cry during my last day !! (No, not the last day, the last WEEK !!!!)
And I have some kind of crush for the web-guy, Fabou (his real name is Fabien), we had a lot of fun together ! The reason why I needed almost a month to finish the update of a little database ? Crazy tchat with him on MSN ... (yes I know, it's bad !!) He is a friend now.
November 2009.
My dear Fabou sends his monthly newsletter for Jarring Effects : last releases, results of the Riddim Collision Festival, and this announcement, Jarring Effects will be in Paris for the first edition of The Indie Music Events, TIME.
Good news, if they can have me a free pass, it will be THE occasion to see them again and maybe meet (thanks to them) some important people.
Bad news, Fabou tells me that they cannot have me a free pass. If I want to go there, I will have to pay 40 euros for 2 days. Crap !!
Nevertheless, I sent an email to my friends to tell them about the TIME. Some of them were interested by it... But ... 40 euros ... Hard ... Plus, it was a first edition, we cannot be sure if we will meet important people or not.
" - Why not sending an email to the organizers saying that we're students, we have no money but we want/need to come because soon we will have to find a job."
Sent.
Quickly I received an answer :
" - No problem, it's free for the students, just give me your name and your Uni and I will put your name on the list."
" - Ok, so we are 3 girls, Flore D., Elodie A. and Leslie M., and in fact we're not "students" anymore, we just graduate last month ... But we were students at the Uni Lyon 2, Master of Management of Musical Careers ... "
" - Oh, I know your Uni, I will teach there in January and February..."
Good ! In the same time, I check the name of the guy on Facebook, what do I learn ... He did the same Master ! He was a MCA guy too !!! TIME, here I come, with Ilo and Leslie.
The day before the TIME, Leslie told us that finally she won't come. Too bad. With Ilo we decided we will meet there.
I arrived at the Espace Kiron, ohhhh... Mr. Mo ! Nice to see you boss ! And ohhhh ... look here is Jo (sound engineer of JFX) !! Nice to see you too !
" - Did you see your ancient tutor ?"
" - Hum... Not yet... Maybe he's still sleeping somewhere !"
Oh, here is Poussin, and Paco ! Damn, the entire music industry of Lyon is here in Paris !! (Jarring Effects, Bee Records, La Chaudière Production, CD1D.com)
Here comes Ilo and then, a little bit later, " Hi Jérôme" !
We go inside, well ... not a lot of people, thank God it was free for us... Oh, look at this guy, he's cute... Oh no ! Japanese music, bad memories from the MIDEM (we laughed a lot with the music, but didn't enjoy the saké) Hey, look at him... He was in Lyon too, another MCA, graduated just before us ... Look, an acoustic gig soon... Singer is cute, we stay ? Ok. Look at this guy... Scary ! Have you seen his pants ? And his shoes ?? And with him, is it a guy or a girl ?

" - Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Talk To Angels"
First song. Nice.
Second song. I really like it (but this guy over here is really scary !!)
20 minutes later, the show is over. Shall we go to meet the manager ? Ok, why not.
This is how I met Darren.
" - You liked the acoustic this afternoon ? Oh, come tonight for this rock concert, it will be good !!"
" - Well ... maybe ..."
We left him, saw Poussin, running everywhere, coming to meet us
" - What are you doing here ???!!! Go inside, Cosmos 70 is beginning their live in a minute !!!!"
Ok .... Cosmos 70 is an electronic band, signed at Bee Records, Poussin work(ed) with them.
Tonight ... tonight ... Let's have a drink first... Ok we will go to see the live.
Just before a first concert, I go outside to smoke a cigarette.
During my cigarette, I met a man. A fascinating man. We talked during an hour.
This is how I missed Gloria Cycles ... and then ... A Joker's Rage.
I was still talking to this man, I see Ilo going out, making some strange faces and signs to me ... Ok, Sir, I leave you know I have to go to see my friend ...

" - OK !!! What's your problem ????!!!"
" - Remember our cutie ???!!! Come, come, I'll introduce you to him ..."
" - Nice to meet you Henry ..." bla bla bla
He told us that he won a contest to follow Talk To Angels in Paris ... Cool ... Another guys are coming out ... I recognize this one, he is the cute singer ...
" - Nice to meet you Craig, Chris, Jamie, Mickey"
Others guys again ... I said to Ilo
" - Hum ... That one is really really cute ...."
" - Oh, he's a drummer, he played with his band it was nice. Too bad you missed it !"
Others ... Oh, our scary guy, the one with the awfull pants and strange shoes ...
I asked to Ilo
" - Hey, when is the concert, the rock one... You know, the english guy gave us a CD..."
" - Oh, you missed it too ! It was really good ! And our crazy guy is the singer..."
Damn ! I missed everything !!
I need a drink ... Oh, a free beer. Thank you. You're cute ... I'm tired, my feet hurt me, I didn't eat, I think I will be drunk soon, I don't understand what's he's saying to me ... Damn, does he speak english ??? Drink, another, another...
" - Where do you come from ?"
" - Glasgow " Ok, so NOW I understand why I don't understand you
" - And you're here because ..."
" - I'm a drummer "
" - Oh that's cool ! Did you already play ?"
" - Yes, we finished our gig few minutes ago" Ok, so you're the CD band, the one I missed !
" - What is it A Joker's Rage... Your company ?"
" - My band"
" - Your band ?"
" - Yes I'm a drummer" Ok, I should stop drinking, he already told me that, he's really cute !
" - Oh yeah, you said that to me"
Few minutes later.
" - But ... what is it A Joker's Rage ???"
I remember the face he made at this moment. I think I had my crush at this moment, I think that he was thinking "this girl is drunk and/or stupid" ... No ... In fact this girl doesn't understand the scottish accent.
This is how I met Neil !
After that, we drank more beers, I made fishes faces (how, why, I don't remember), we made fishes photos, he screwed one and kissed me ...he played with my beer, so my beer didn't arrive in my mouth but in my nose ... We spend the rest of the night together, listening to the others bands, drinking others beers, joking (losing my camera because of his beer). It was wonderful. And then, I had to go back to the train station. He was going back to his hotel. We will see each other the next day, and I will have the pleasure to hear them during their acoustic gig.
Acoustic gig. After few jokes and hugs and and and, the first song.
I'm in love with the band. I look at Ilo and say
" - Why not working with them ? We make them come back to Paris : booking agent, P.R ... Why not ? I'm in love. In one night I married two drummers, I don't let him go back to Glasgow without me !"
" - Ok. We have the contact of the manager. Let's spend a little time with him after the show. Or no, first we spend a little time with the band, talking about everything and nothing, and then, in the middle of a great conversation, we suggest him to take us in his team !"
" - Deal !"
8 months later, I'm still in love with the band. I made them come back to Paris for two crazy gigs. I still have my crush for my Fishboy. Here's the letter for my crush !

My dear Fishboy,It's been a while since our last tchat ...A week, maybe two or three !!
I miss you so much !! You really really have to find a way to play both 3CT and AJR in Scotland AND in Paris !!! If you don't come back to Paris, I will have to move to Glasgow, and you will suffer my dear ! Remember that I didn't have my last revenge yet !
I was so sad, angry and jealous when Ilo told me that she had to go to Leeds for Dazz's business. When she told me that, the first thing I thought was
" - OMG, she's going to Leeds, she will work with Zakk, I'm sure that she will be in York on Friday night !!"
I was so angry !! Plus, just after you left Paris, we already knew for your June 25th gig and we were wondering" do we buy plane tickets or not ?" I finally said no because I had no money (I still have no money, where's my money Dazz ???!!!) and had an important family dinner that week-end. So SAD !!!!!
I think I will have to make you come back without the boys. You come and I kidnap you. Then, we go to meet this famous bush ....
I hope I will see you soon ! Rocking with you again !
I should move to Glasgow, or you should move, you and your three crazy bandmates, to Paris ! I'm waiting for you !!
xxxxxxxxxxxx
PS : I love his blue eyes ! Believe me, he has ...... AMAZING eyes !!! And, attention, if I see too many girls around him, I will take my claws out !!!! ;-)
PS : I check at the hour, 18:00, damn, I have to get dress and leave to Paris to meet my Dad, we are all going to the restaurant tonight for my Mum's birthday !!! I have only a hour to find THE dress !!! (so hard, I know !!)
PS : yes the letter is short and strange, but as I said, some people appear twice or more in that letter list ... And, yes he is one of those people ... You just have to guess when you will meet him again !
