I'm off to see the wizard!
Feb. 6th, 2007 08:27 pmI managed to get pretty good tickets for
annephoenix, her s.o. and me to go see Jason Isaacs in the last performance of The Dumb waiter's run, but could I wait that long? After reading
czeri's post, no way. If I've been thinking that getting a signed picture from him would make my decade, spending another £30 to actually meet him before it gets crazy? Hell, I owe it to myself. This guy's Lucius transformed my life over the last four years. And now I can say 'thank you' in person. If I dare approach him. If I managed to get a word out without sounding like a giddy fangirl.
Oh, to hell with it. I am a giddy fangirl. :) But I might as well get to be a groupie now, seeing as I never did during my teenage years.
As luck would have it, my parents are having a big dinner party on Saturday for their friends, which gives me a very good reason to be out of the house. And then the Sectus Venue Liaiser called me and said we could visit the Not the Yule Ball venue on Saturday morning. (Over the weekend I've become Head of Decor for Sectus, which is exciting enough in itself - I mean, how often do you get to throw a party for loads of like-minded folk, with enough of a budget to really make magic?) So I did the obvious thing and gave Trafalgar Studios a call. I mean, I'm on my own, right? Surely they have a space that needs filling?
There's a seat a third of the way back, says the woman on the phone. Oh, and one at the end of the front row, which is half the price. And on Jason's side of the stage.
I never expected to get a seat at the front, let alone without having to pay £30!!
And I'm starting to feel nervous already. God knows how much I've wanted to meet Jason, and almost my wildest dream is about to come true. If I can pluck up the nerve to go say Hello. If I manage to get through an hour of Jason being menacing at two meters distance without melting...
