Sally In Disguise

Okay so I have to write this down real quick before I forget.

The Wombats came to Australia for Future Music Festial and decided to do a meet and greet kind of thing, because of Amelia’s video. And it was IN MY BACKYARD. In the country, in the middle of nowhere. All these people came from miles around to see them. I actually screamed when they pulled up. I don’t ever scream.

Anyway I was stressing hard because I couldn’t find my camera or my phone to take a picture. I was frantically looking everywhere when I finally found my phone just as the crowds were starting to leave. I ran back to the tour bus thing where they were doing the signing and I was the last person in the line. I took a photo of all three of them then asked if they would sign my sombrero (?). Murph signed my sombrero and wrote this huge message. Then Tord signed it and did the same, I think they were trying to outdo each other. While this was going on I was having conversations with them about SiN, Captain and the Princess, the Hottest 100 and the weather (smooth). Then the signing was complete and I thanked them all profusely and told them they were amazing then left.

BUT disaster struck. I got back to the house and realised I hadn’t got a photo with them (as opposed to of them). So I ran back down to the bus where they were packing up, and asked this security/organiser type lady if it would be okay to get one last photo. I felt super bad cause they were clearly packing up for the day and starting to relax. She was not very keen on the idea. Then Tord came over (!) to see what was going on. I explained what was going on to him and he said one more photo would be okay. Then I felt even worse. But he told me to come in to the bus so I did. Everyone was eating Chinese out of little boxes (there was heaps of crew type people around as well). Tord told the others what happened and Dan was like ‘oh okay’ but Murph seemed pretty annoyed. He said something like ‘if I did this you’d be angry’ to Tord. Now I’m feeling like the worst person in the world cause I adore Murph. So I say I’ll leave and Tord says ‘no stay’ so I stay because IT’S TORD OVERLAND-KNUDSEN.

Suddenly I have Chinese food and Tord offers everyone a beer. Then he turns to me and says ‘do you want a beer Sally?’ At this point I’m freaking out because a. Tord knows my name b. Tord just offered me a beer c. I’M IN A BUS WITH THE WOMBATS. I don’t even drink beer and I feel kinda bad ‘for drinking their beer but I say ‘uhhh yeah okay’ because Tord. Murph is tuning his guitar and doing a soundcheck type thing with a mic even though we are in a bus. At this stage I think he is still a bit pissed off but tries not to show it and has calmed down a bit.

Then it’s time for the photo, so I put my beer (which dream me seems to quite enjoy) and my chinese down and Dan and Tord put their arms around me *squee* and Murph sits next to Tord. Then the security lady that was outside before takes the photo and that’s that. It looks great even though Tord and I are in the middle and we are the shortest (I am about the same height as Tord in this dream although I’m sure I’d really be shorter). Then I sort of awkwardly sit there not sure what I’m supposed to do so I just sip my beer quietly and think about leaving cause they probably don’t want some weirdo fan hanging around, but at the same time I never want to leave because wombats.

Then I woke up in my own bed and none of that had ever happened and I still haven’t met the wombats and I scream TAKE ME BAAACK and am sad. The end.
