filledanse · 09-28-2005, 06:03 PM

Hey,

Just wonderin if any of you diehard damo fans have every met him??

i had heard that he was a prick from a friend of mine but when i literally walked into him, completely surreal, i though he was very down to earth and ... wel to use an overused word, sound

anyone else have any memories?

Sinead · 09-28-2005, 06:20 PM

I've met him a good few times and whenever i see him he says hi.He seems like a really nice,genuine guy,really intense though,as if he's trying to look into your soul when you're apeaking to him!! Really nice guy though!xxAnd Lisa's just a lil dote!!! She's so lovely!!!

Beccaboo · 09-28-2005, 07:03 PM

hollowrose · 09-29-2005, 12:03 AM

i wouldn't be able to talk if i met him lol

Soleillily · 09-29-2005, 12:26 AM

I met him once also...briefly after a show... he seemed very shy, humble and kind of quiet but was in a good mood and seemed happy at the time. I was at a loss for words and mumbled some jibberish.... and yes, he does stare you straight in the eyes and really "looks" at you though..I noticed that too. He was the sweetest, lots of smiles and very kind..gave me a hug.. *sigh*

blackrose88 · 09-29-2005, 07:11 AM

i dunno if id be able to talk to him either especially if he looked me in the eyes that always makes me nervous when ppl do that haha i have social issues

Cali · 09-29-2005, 08:21 PM

he does stare (in a sexy way

) but when i met him he looked more nervous than i was and that made me feel better. he's a really really nice guy

edit: i didn't get a hug

unspokenanswer · 09-29-2005, 08:48 PM

Ooooooh, I'd love to meet him! You see, I feel I'd have the opposite reaction: I'd butcher and nag with questions. Journalistic spirit

I want a hug, too. To meet him alone would be wonderful and I'd be eternally grateful, though.

I went up to him all brave like and confident but then he did actually seem a little nervous..which made me all nervous & I lost my train of thought..I had all these things I wanted to say in that moment but didn't, other than what came out. But I did love the way he stared at me and what he drew in my CD booklet..I covet it...

Oh, I'll never tire of telling this story..cause I'm sure i have already posted this before... hehe!

If you do meet him..there is a good chance for hugging...he's sweet like that...

The whole band is amazing..they are all so kind & wonderful!

I can live w/ just a hug

rosie_g · 09-30-2005, 11:42 PM

I dont know what i would say if i met him...i would probably tell him "i love you" a million times...he probably wouldnt believe me but I DO!!! wow...what i'd give...

till then...

unspokenanswer · 10-02-2005, 02:33 AM

Now I have a question for all of you lucky eskimos that did get the chance to meet Damien. How did it happen? For all of you, was it after a gig and you just sort of hung around outside until he appeared, or were there other ways of how it happened? Just curious.

filledanse · 10-04-2005, 09:35 PM

imagine....

sittin on a few bum benches, watching another summer weekend slip away before our very eyes, eating some chips and chocolate milk, dressed in whatever was closest when we woke up that morning....

and then he walks buy, takes us a few moments to process what our eyes are telling us, but as soon as that finally kicks in we chase after him, he who is equally scruffy and dirty and chat for a while and get autographs and the guy is just nice...

then he goes into a eurospar buys some groceries and hops into his getaway car with a mysterious beautiful accomplice...

we later found out he went to a local beach and did a mini concert around a fire surrounded by some luky beach goesrs

Sinead · 10-05-2005, 05:27 PM

THe first time i met him i was in London,i was wandering around at bout 2o clock trying to find where the venue for the gig was that night (the bbc4 sessions 1) i was looking in the gates of a church and saw a small scruffy lookin person sittin on a bench inside. I grabbed my friends hand and decided it was Damien Rice!! I walked up and i could barely talk! My dad and my friend formed basic conversation and then he just looked at me and laughed!! That was last october and i've met him about 6 times now!! And he recognises me when he sees me!!!He's so nice!!

ZachC · 10-05-2005, 05:54 PM

i met him once ... it was at the bonnaroo music festival after he got done playing i waited in mud up to my ankles and he came over and said having fun?? in a sarcastic sorta way since i was standing in the mud but we chatted for a few he signed my songbook and it had a little drawing with it he even took the time to ask my name it was awesome i hope it happens again soon

unspokenanswer · 10-05-2005, 10:14 PM

WOW! What awesome stories. It makes me want to meet him all the more; wasn't sure if that was possible, but now I know that it is. Lucky duckies....*grin*
