My cousine and me were outside the Terminal with my aunt, havin' a fag (my aunt and me, as my cousin only is 13 yrs young), when a bunch of lads came out of the Terminal, looking VERY flashy! I was just like: "Whoa, look at them! They look GOOOD!" and my aunt smiled, saying something like: "Maybe they're famous?" and I had a laugh. I looked at their baggage and thought "Hm... that's some weird stuff they're taking with them", when two guys followed those bunch of lads. "Maybe they're in a band or something?" my aunt said and just THEN I read what was written on the "baggage":
I immediately looked up to the guys and felt my heart beating like the drum of a Metal-Band. There he was! Eddie Argos! Of Art Brut! Pushing the trolly and he was with a quite good looking, blonde, glasses-wearing lad. The only thing I could say in that moment was (in italian to my aunt, of course): "Oh my god! Do you know who they are?? They're Art Brut! A Band from the UK!! I LOVE THEM!" and I watched them passing by and crossing the road.
When my brain started working again I said: "I have to shake his hand!" and so I "jumped" to them on the other side of the "street".
me: "Excuse me! Excuse me! Mr. Argos!"
Eddie: "Yes?"
me: "Wow! May I shake your hand?"
Eddie *with a smile on his face*: "What? Of course!"
and we shook hands (same with the good looking blonde).
Eddie: "We're off for the festival. Are you coming, too?"
me: "No, unfortunately not"
Eddie: "Why?"
me: "Well... you know? My parents are ill"
Eddie looked at me with a so-called "wtf" expression on his face.
me: "Not really... I'm just not the type for festivals"
Eddie, the blonde and me had a short laugh.
me: "Well, anyway - have a save trip, enjoy the festival! I know you'll be great!"
Eddie: "Oh, thank you!"
me: "It was such a pleasure! Bye!"
Eddie and the blonde guy: "Same here. Bye"
and I went off to my aunt again.
When my aunt got to the plane and I went back home with my cousin, he wanted to listen to Art Brut - and guess what? "My little cousin just discovered Rock'n'Roll!" :-D He LOVES them! He loves the complete Album!
God, that was awesome! Eddie Argos!
P.S.: Before my cousin and me went off to the car, we met another band called "Against Me", but as I don't know them I just smiled to one of the guys, who seemed quite uncomfortable, since I thought that they're playing at Southside as well (or hurricane maybe, who knows?). Anyway, he smiled back.
And maybe Eddie remembers "that weird girl with the red-white-striped shirt at the Airport in Frankfurt" ;-)

Was ist DAS denn für eine Unterhaltung gewesen? Bist du da weich in der Birne gewesen?
Wow! I like those times when life totally takes you by surprise and changes a quite ordinary day into something to remember.
Against Me! is a punk band from Florida. They're quite cool, too. I don't get why they were in Frankfurt coz they're next gig is in Amsterdam. Maybe it was the only flight from Australia they could get. ;)
@anonmymous: Ja, war ich. Was hättest Du an meiner Stelle getan? Ich bin ja nur froh, dass es nicht Björn war, der da auf einmal aufgetaucht ist, weil DA hätte ich bestimmt nur scheiße gelabert... wenn überhaupt. ;-)
@mel: Yeah, that's totally "likeable" when things like that happen. You know, I just don't want to bother "famous" people too much, that's why I use to keep the conversation short. OK, when we met mohair... well... that's something else, 'cause we were like the only ones who talked to them. And they were very nice and seemed quite upset, when my friend and me said that we had to leave.
Anway. :-)
