How Many Shows Have You Been To?

(I'm bored at work)
How many PW shows have you been to? When/where and what Wolfpack did you meet? And what shows do you have coming up? Fave show memories?

*best memories....
UK/Night of Winter Shows - Queuing with Cat, Eve, Rebecca, Tania, Elisa and Thomas (& everyone else I met there!)...Pizza...hot chocolate...ponchos and being asked more than once if we were homeless, Wolf Tour of London (#BermondseyBitches4Life! #PurplePonchoMafia). Manchester - Wolf in a pulpit (damn!).... Patrick being silly after Glasgow & Manchester and speaking to him properly after the London show, trying not to cry.... Rebecca & Elisa rushing to the front for Magic Position in London and everyone dancing and just overall silliness with Cat the entire trip!

Meeting PW for the first time in NYC and feeling silly for being so ridiculously shy (also met some great fans there). Knowing that Cat and Damien stayed up all night to watch the live stream of "my 1st show" made me feel super special and part of the Wolfpack (then I realized this is just normal behavior!). Too many things to list from the shows/songs/music... it was all wonderful! Night of Winter made the holidays magical again! And Patrick being one of the most sincere kind musicians I've ever met. He really goes out of his way to make everyone feel special. And the music.... I just hope we cheer him up and make him feel at least 1/1,000,000th of what he does for us. I've been to see so many bands and with Patrick I never feel like I'm watching a "show". It's really such an experience...I can't describe. It's just so raw and honest... (Anyhow, I'm rambling!).

Best random quote - "Who wants a pineapple?!?!" - Patrick Wolf

Hopefully I'll see him again soon but it's so expensive to fly from the US!! My dream is to see him in Russia or Ukraine since those shows seem so special and then I can finally meet Ennie and Sergey.

awww Jessie it's awesome to share some of these memories with you <3
I've been to 12 shows but the last one, in Ukraine, was probably the most special for me

Sorry it took me so long to reply - I was going to try and give a detailed answer but I have too many happy memories and I don't even know where to begin! So I'll just keep it brief - I've been to 16 shows (17 in less 48 hours time! ) and each one has been so special and unique <3

The most special show for me was the Palladium - it was the first time I'd ever travelled outside Scotland for a gig and I spent half the night crying because I couldn't believe I was actually there at this huge spectacular one off show!

I've met so many amazing people and the night of winter tour was the most fun week I've ever had! (Jessie you missed out when HE PLAYED EUSTACIA FOR US!!! )

Meeting Patrick-wise, the two most special nights for me were both the times I saw him in Edinburgh - the first he wore the necklace I made him the entire night (under his top on stage - I almost didn't notice so he wasn't even humouring me!), even though he changed outfit three times! And I saw a fan photo of him with a girl in Belfast the next day STILL WEARING IT! And during The City he came along the front of the crowd and held my hand as he was singing, then kissed it! The second time in Edinburgh he kept telling me I had to stop standing outside waiting for him because he always gets really worried about me... and I somehow ended up telling him how I'd just spent a month's wages on Belfast and London and I wanted to come to all his shows more than anything and I saved up money for shows by taking pack lunches to uni instead of buying food, and he was just like "awwwww" and gave me the hugest hug and a kiss on both cheeks and I felt like he really cared about me (Similar thing happened in Gothenburg earlier this week actually, minus my crazy ramblings - I got to chat to him by myself for the first time in ages and he was asking me about my life and he seemed to really care about me!) Anyway, he also played Penzance just for me that night and called me "lovely Cat"

Best things he's said to me - "Hello Cat... look cats!" and "You smell like Thorpe Park" Also I've gotta tell the full story of the pineapple moment - there were like 20 of us scattered down the middle of the road waiting for Patrick (because it was a quiet little side street and road works and the tour bus were blocking the pavements)... then all of a sudden a car comes so we start trying to herd everybody onto the tiny bit of pavement directly in front of the stage door... everybody heads over in a massive swarm and just as I'm saying "I bet someone's going to walk out that door now!", the door opens and out walks Patrick!!! A momentary look of terror on his face at the swarm of 20 or so people headed straight for him, then "Who wants a pineapple?"

Also Jessie 6 is not bad - it took me 4 years to get to 6!!!
