That's very special to me" I said, " All mutual, Lindsey, I just hope that you would come over to Europe once, there are some great fans waiting for you. And please, if you do, do it with the solo-tour. He said: Well, I want to, but it is so expensive, though I know people want to see me over there.
I think it's a ridiculous reason, but hey, I wasn't there to get in a quarrel about money. So I said: "I am aware now how expensive it is." And we litterally BURSTED out laughing, looking in eachothers eyes. " well, it'll cost a lot more ofcourse". All this time we were still shaking hands. The man REALLY made contact, and that felt really special. Then he said " Have a safe trip back home, and thank you again".

At that point, the 3 guys in the back took their window down and yelled out my name, and all three put a hand outside leaning over eachother: " Gerald! Have a safe trip and goodbye!" I highfived them all and yelled, " thanks guys it was great!" And then they left.
Gerald this is just about the coolest thing I've ever heard and I cannot think of a single Lindsey fan who deserves it more than you. I'm still gutted that I wasn't able to make my show but I have been living vicariously through your great updates and thank you for tellling Lindsey to get himself and his tour over here! He needed to hear that!
