After Sunday's show, there was a group waiting outside of the bus. But it was announced that they were not going to do any autographs. But I was at the drivers window when Simon got on, and then the bus drove off into the night. But after driving through downtown Pittsburgh, we seen their bus at the Doubletree Hotel. But it was after hours and the bar was closed. I figured that my fate was sealed, and I would never get to meet Nick.

I am telling you all of this, because it was fate that I meet him. You would think that after all this, I would have given up. But it was pure coincidence that I met him. And I fully believe in fate.

I was leaving work Monday, I had caught the wrong bus, but I knew it would still go into town, where I had to go to night classes. I work at the Carnegie Science Center, and part of our museum ring is the Andy Warhol Museum, and it is closed on Mondays. But the wrong bus I had caught went by the Warhol. I noticed a guy in the store taking inventory, and thought this to be odd that anyone was there on a Monday.

Well, as the bus rounded the corner, there was a familiar guy standing there waiting to cross the street. My heart caught in my throat, a voice screamed in my head, GET OFF THE BUS!!!!!! I jumped up, I was shaking, I hurriedly told the driver I had to get off NOW! He let me off a block away.

I wasn't about to be detered now. My eyes had seen the golden prize. I ran back to the corner, but he was gone. Franticly, I ran to the parking lot, no one was there. But across from the Warhol is a dive resturant/bar called the Rosa Villa, I thought to myself, would they have gone in there? No, it was a dive establishment. But I crept over, opening the door, HE was there. He looked over at me, and I chocked, I backed out the door to devise a plan, or atleast to compose something to say.

I am very starstruck. And I didn't want to come across as an idiot. But then he came out of the bar, I went right up to him, and said,"Hi, I was at the show last night and..." He interupted and asked what I had thought about it.I told him that I had very much enjoyed it. But I didn't want to say that I had to wait 18 years to see them in concert. But HE was very nice and dignified. I got his and Simon's autograph.

I was shaking and WOW! is all I can say about the whole thing. Sorry this is so long winded, but, I have always loved him and Duran Duran. And to get to meet him face to face and to speak with him.

WOW! Just simply, WOW
