Aquamarine Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Enjoyed your videos very much, Moonmaid--good work! You had a great view! Thanks for posting them. Quote
AMAZONIC Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 MM, what a beautiful and magical experience! I bet you won't sleep for weeks now thinking about what happened last night. I am so glad you made it to be at the LA premiere and be able to catch a glimpse of Mr P. This is the proof that dreams can come true... Thanks for sharing those photos and vids. He looks a million dollars babe! We Aussies were not that lucky to have Jimmy at the Sydney premiere of IMGL on June 3rd, still we happily and blissfully enjoyed his presence on the big screen. I have just found this vid (sorry if it is a re-post) with a few scenes from IMGL for those who haven't seen the movie yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cEoH1OVY6I Quote
Lilith Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Moonmaid - thank you so much for sharing your incredible experiences! I know exactly what you mean about the time standing still - I've never been lucky enough to be in the presence of James, but that's exactly how I imagine it would be if ever I were to meet him. I loved your hilarious description of Ross as well! What a wonderful set of memories - I'm sure you will cherish them forever. Cheers! Quote
reswati Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Also thanks very much for posting this, Moonmaid. I hope your Jimmy button heals well, possibly the weirdest souvenir you got from this experience I must admit. Quote

Thank you SOOO much for posting your detailed recap/your pic/your vids, and letting all of us live vicariously through you. I was so excited to log on and find out what happened to you/for you at the premier...and got WAAY more than i expected! I am SO happy for you that you got to have the ultimate IMGL experience. I can truly imagine what you mean about everything slow motion/etc when JP walked by you. And yes, I DID know exactly what you emant about even with RH it was all as it should be. OK..one last thing..I must admit to a twinge of jealousy..OK, maybe more than a twinge. Again..CONGRATS on such a wonderful experience, and THANK YOU for sharing it with us!! Sharon Quote
slave to zep Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Thank you Janet...now go watch the vids! And Slave to Zep...it happened and I think you being in the world helped. :kiss: One more thing. I seem to be getting credit for this photo: To clarify, Zepp-4-Life took this at the Toronto Film Festival last year. For me, it was the gold standard for recent fan-taken photos. I really want him to have the credit. hey, i do what i can, us good witches have to stick together, eh? Quote
Moonmaid Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 Order of the Moonmaid I LOVE THIS! Thank you, Danny. You've done it again! And Sharon, thank you for your thoughts. You totally get it. S2Z, you and I are so connected, it's scary...but I love it! Oh, one more thing. Danny, the next time Jimmy and I catch a flick together, we'll totally invite you. Quote
a clockwork tangerine Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Thanks for posting your videos, Moonmaid! They were great! I really enjoyed reading your report. Glad you had an awesome experience! Quote
racchan Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) You're so lucky, Moonmaid! Thanks for the report (very vividly and only from reading it, one can tell how excited you were!), I'm sure I'm not the only one envying you! But I'm also very happy for you to be that close to him ^^ Neither will I... or do you think, that Jimmy will visit such a dwarf country like Czech republic? I don´t... :boohoo: Do you think that he will visit a dwarf country like Austria? Most people don't know it, and some of those who do, think it is Australia... "Austria? Isn't it the country with the kangaroos?" Austria is the little-little brother of Germany - they get everything and we don't. I don't even know by now, if "It might get loud" is starting in Austria (if not, I'll travel to Munich for it... Or when it is shown in Paris, I'll watch it there). Oh, I don't want to insult people, who don't know Austria! If anybody is interested in Vienna, visit my friends deviantArt Gallery: Vienna Oops, I'm advertising here, sorry...

Hey I love your country, have been there several times. And I remember my first time in Salzburg, I saw a T-shirt with "we have no kangroos" and burst into laughter.

racchan Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Ohh, I just watched the videos. Thanks a LOT for sharing them with us! You got a very good view on Jimmy ^^ Quote

And you maybe also know that until 1918 Czech republic (and also Slovakia and Hungary ) was part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy! After the 1st world war Czechoslovakia was estabilished. Once I sent a package to one friend to Australia. And the woman on the post office asked me: "Where do you want to send it? To Austria?" :lol: Quote

I ordered something from Canada and the USA and was so glad that it didn't land in Australia Quote
gina62 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Thanks Moonmaid for posting!!!! i'am sooooooo jealous and i live in cali, so glad i could exsperiance through you!! Quote
myledzep Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Thanks for the kind words regarding the photo and thank you to everyone who calmed my nerves beforehand. It was your good vibes that made it happen. The report of the night is as follows: I met my boyfriend at the theater around 6pm. We found the line for ticket holders and I discovered that not a lot of people bought tickets before the night. We were eleventh and twelfth in line. The "standby" line to buy tickets was quite long. They had us enter the theater before the cast showed up and walked the carpet. We asked if we could come back out but we weren't allowed. So, we were already inside when all those Getty Pics were taken. The theater wasn't big and they closed off the entire middle section except for the first few rows. We sat off to the left side of the theater. This is the side Jimmy and Jack entered. I saw Jimmy's hair first and leapt out of my seat. I have a bad bruise on my leg from when I smacked into the arm rest of my seat (my boyfriend calls it "the Jimmy button" and presses it to remind me what a silly groupie I was last night..). I waited for him to sit down (which was towards the back, close to the aisle) then made my approach. He was surrounded by fans, friends, and security guards. I found an opening in the entourage and leaned in for the shot. This was not easy as I could feel Ross Halfin burning hatred into my soul. Seriously, that guy knows how to mad-dog a girl. I got the shot, I wasn't too close to Jimmy to be feared, and I went back to my seat very quickly. What's Halfin's problem? And by the way, his fake and bake tan and dyed hair look stupid, but I digress. I watched the movie in bliss. Seeing Jimmy so big on the screen was magical. And I was rocking out the whole time. Bopping my head, tapping my feat, swaying to the sounds. The film really moves you like that! The film ended and I stood up hoping to catch a glimpse of Jimmy leaving, but he didn't. Instead, and before I could get the camera ready, he walked right in front of me in the aisle to get to the front of the theater for the Q and A segment. My experience of him walking by me is exactly like those slow motion moments they describe in movies and it's the only time I've ever felt like that. I couldn't process in my mind that he was inches from me! My boyfriend and I filmed Jimmy and Jack's segments of the Q and A and as soon as we can figure out how, we'll post the footage-probably on youtube. That's all I can think to tell for now. I let you know when the footage is up. Great report Moonmaid and excellent photo!!! . I was also at this screening. I arrived in Westwood around 5:40pm (I'm glad I left early; rush hour traffic was bumper to bumper coming from the beach). No hassle or line to pick up my tix @ will call then I waited in line for about 20-25 minutes before they let ticketholders in. I had enough time to go to the restroom then look for a seat. It was packed; I found a seat on the right hand side, second row, nearest to the wall. A few minutes after I got settled, I heard all the commotion, etc. then noticed a bunch of people hanging around the reserved seating. I got a glimpse of Jimmy for a second then lost view because he was surrounded by fans, media, friends, bodyguards but I did manage to catch him take his seat with his BMF RH. . Davis Guggenheim said a few words before the screening then the film started. After the film ended and standing ovation, Davis Guggenheim, Jimmy, Jack White (who I didn't realize was there), and the rest of the film makers came to the front of the stage. I was literally feet away from Jimmy & Co. Jimmy looked in our direction and smiled. I wished I had given a "thumbs up" at that point. LOL!! Jimmy looked great; he was tanned (as if he just returned from holiday). The moderator asked a few questions then they had to leave. Jimmy & Co. walked right past me. The film was very good and I want to see it again when it opens in theaters. Jimmy was great of course and Jack White is an interesting, talented musician but I really came away from the film impressed with the Edge. I also want to applaud the LA Film fest; this whole screening was very organized and moved somewhat smoothly. Overall, a great night and a chance to see one of my favorite guitarist up close and personal!! Quote
