JULIET LANDAU
NORBRECK, BLACKPOOL - CON
30th APRIL - 2nd MAY 2004

What a sweetheart - she remembered me!

And I thought I allready loved Juliet bunches, after this experience I love her even more. My first encounter with her was in her autograph session on that Friday. I was allready with certain experience with the drawings and that there was little time to write notes with unless I did it sooner, so I wrote a short letter to give with the drawing, I don't remember much of what I wrote only that it was a bit about how much I loved her work and how much she meaned to me and such. And the drawing with the little letter was given to the stewards as I entered the room.

I brought with me 2 photos to be signed, one for me and one for my best friend who absolutely *love* Drusilla, which I told her and that I absolutely adored her. She was among the people I had come there for. After she had signed those and my yearbook, I had a bit of problems getting the things with me, so her boyfriend helped me pick them up. I was really gratefull.

As I had been in luck with metting Clare after her autograph session the day before I waited outside when it was coming to an end and sure enough, Juliet came out, carrying the drawing herself and her assistant (who was a friend of a friend and had seen the drawing I had planned to give to Juliet before), told Juliet that I had drawn it. Juliet was really sweet about it to me.

JULIET: "Are you here later tonight?"

ME: "I'm gonna be here all weekend"

JULIET: "Great, we'll hang out"

I was a steward on door duty that night and didn't see her, but I got to know later on that Juliet and a few other guests had come out to party that night, but a bunch of attendees had kept flashing their cameras at them and they had been forced to leave.

The next time I saw her, except in her talks, where I asked questions, was at my birthday in her photosession. The unbelievable thing was that she recognized me when she saw me, cause she reached out her arms towards me.

JULIET: "oh, heeeeey"

Then she pulled me into a hug.

ME: "It's my birthday"

JULIET: "Oh, happy birthday!"

She posed with me for the picture and wished me happy birthday again before I left.

In her thank you speech in the closing ceremony she thanked the fans for all the gifts and mentioned drawings. It was an indirect thank you, but it was great that she mentioned it. And I waved to her from the crowd and she waved back to me.

I was talking to Clare for a while before she left and then Juliet on her way out was passing me.

JULIET: "Thank you for coming"

ME: "No, thank you for coming!"

And I got a goodbye hug before she left as well. Wrapping things up for me.
