AMBER BENSON is to appear at the Birmingham NEC memorabilia fair this November on the 29th and 30th. To check out there website and the other 86 guests from all genres go to. www.memorabilia.co.ukAs you probably know Wil and I go to the Memorabilia fair every year about this time. Paul gives Wil oodles of cash as part of her........dare I say it christmas present.....and spends it on loads of Buffy/Angel stuff. We met Mark Lutz there last year and can't wait to meet Amber this. It's £10 entry fee this year which is a bit more expensive than usual but it is gonna be there biggest show yet with over 1000 stalls. |

These fairs have never lured me before - probably because I know how dangerous I can be armed with a credit card in an ordinary Con dealer room.... let me loose at an event like this which is All.About.The.Merchandise and I'd probably have to sell the house afterwards....
However, I would love to meet Amber and tell her how much I enjoyed "Chance" and what a good role model I think she is for young women... that'll make her squirm! Lol!
Paul McGann *thunk* Paul Darrow, Alex Cox.... oooooooh

Thanks Az and NN NL i'm not sure you'd call what passed between us talking lol, especially the limited amount of input that i had in it lol. You see as many of you know Amber is one of the people i have specifically wanted to meet and so before going to the fair i brought her a card with a mouse dressed as a witch on the front (it was really cute), along with a cup with 'one in a million' across it, and a snowman christmas tree decoration. At the fair Amber, was located at the very end of it, and so i had around about a hour and a half, to two hours to work myself up and attempt to calm myself down about meeting her, but typical me it was no use, finally coming up to her we were only queing for about 10, 20 minutes and by the end of it i was shaking terribly, a million and one things swimming through my head of what i wanted to say to her. So we got to the front of the que, and my mind went blank and i was shaking so much i couldn't get my words out  . I gave a mumbled explaination of what the presents was, and telling her about the message i had written in the card, as well as working my way around passing them to her, and trying my hardest not to drop the picture i had brought for her to sign, and whilst i could get my words out she was just staring up at me smiling,and then she turns around and says 'Ok deep breaths, breathe' which is no use what so ever lmao, it just made we worse thinking OMG OMG OMG lol, once i manage to get my words out she stands up and hugs me, and twistie, and then moves to sign my picture saying 'And whats your name lovely lady?'. Even twistie was star struck lol, forgetting her own name when Amber asked her what it was ;D, also twistie was wearing her spike t-shirt, and immediatly Amber said 'Oh a spike fan', mom laughed and said 'nah not me' to which Amber laughed and replied 'Course not, we don't like spike' lmao, Amber was really cool, and down to earth, and SOOOO much better in the flesh than on  . |
