jessie @cat Hey hey! We can continue chatting in here now schizoeclectic - haha yes, we probably need to start our own thread! We will be the reason Twitter breaks down today as well! I'm going to be in so much trouble at work because all I have done is worry about this. I'm expecting any minute to get an email from my manager saying "What is a Patrick Wolf?" Yes, my husband will occasionally ask me "so how are Patrick's dogs and cats doing?" Last night was just terrible. He decided that Patrick sounds like Cher & Elvis (does not!) so he was doing his really bad Jack Mcfarland (Will & Grace) impression of Cher impression of Patrick. He's crazy. But I have caught him singing "Magic Position" so that's good considering he only listens to & plays Beatles and metal. ANYWAY...... Direct me to our thread so we can continue that conversation! My first show is tomorrow night and I'm SO excited. Thank you all for being so sweet and friendly. I will try to get pics and let you know about the E.P.s. I wonder how much they are? I am lucky both NYC shows are seated, but the Boston show is is standing. From everything I've read I'm thinking he will be at the merch table. I'm just worried about making my friend stand around and wait on me. I saw the perfect gift for Patrick and I didn't get it, so I'm kicking myself and going back to the shop today and hope they still have it. All of my friends think this is (one) of the craziest things I've ever done, so thank you all for not making me feel like a freak. Aw haha I am just laughing so much here!!! To be honest I think Patrick would love being compared to Elvis/Cher. He's actually a BIG Elvis fan. He told me on twitter once and I've seen a pic of him wearing a Elvis T-Shirt too and I LOVE Will=Grace esp for Jack's Cher impression so you can tell your husband his attempt to tease went down a storm He sounds like a closet wolfie so if he's singing ''Magic Position'' Oh my you must be so excited! I am gonna and try and watch the livestream too. TELL me what this gift is I'm so intrigued. Where are your NY seats? The same both nights or... Aw hun you are NOT a freak, you're in the wolf pack now!! Trust me as some one who follows A LOT of celebrities I totally understand and encourage your passion for Patrick ;D

Aww wow that's so sweet what Patrick said to you Damien! I always feel like he must be so irritated by me on twitter - i sometimes have these crazy overexcited tweeting sprees (like on tuesday night when i tweeted him about 20 times - i feel terrible about that! ) and he just ignores me You're so lucky, i'd love him to follow me but i don't want to ask - i'd want it to be of his own accord, but like that would ever happen But at least he seems to like me in real life, and he has replied to me a few times so i suppose i can't be that irritating Haha, yesterday for some reason i started trying to explain to my mum about how Patrick's songs were like friends to me that i could turn to whenever i needed comfort, and she was just like "oh right, that's nice" And if i stay up for this live stream i can just imagine going into uni tomorrow and telling my friends the reason i'm so tired is cos i stayed up til 2am to watch a Patrick Wolf live stream - they won't even be surprised, they know what i'm like! Yeah, when i saw Patrick in Edinburgh i left the house with £75 which i thought was more than enough to last the weekend... by the end of the night i had £1 left in my purse But the hoodie was the main reason i spent so much - that was £35. And then i had to get the tea towel (i'm saving it for the future when i move out so i don't get annoyed about having to hand wash dishes ) and the tour tshirt. And at the meet and greet they were selling posters so i had to get one of them as well for Patrick to sign. And this wasn't including the calendar i'd ordered the week before! And i don't even know how much i've spent on Sundark and Riverlight now, with all the currency conversion charges the bank's going to add on... oh well, it's all part of being an obsessive fan ;D (Speaking of which, i've just realised i now have 7 PW tshirts ;D ) Have a wonderful time tonight Jessie, you'll need to tell us all about it I'm still trying to decide whether i should watch the livestream - it's only 7 and i feel like i could go to sleep now, and i have so much on tomorrow But i don't want to miss it I'm thinking maybe i'll just go to bed early, get a couple of hours sleep first and set an alarm for 12.15 to get up and watch it. I don't know, i'm so terrible at decision making! The Hard Times video is a tribute to Elvis (and Klaus Nomi) My dad took me to the Palladium show when i was 17 (he actually enjoyed it and got me to make him a PW CD for his car afterwards! ), and he said he thought Patrick sounded like David Bowie! And my parents were watching something about David Bowie on tv recently and my mum was telling me i should watch it because he was one of Patrick's influences And she wouldn't believe me that he wasn't, she just took my dad's word for it Aww we're not freaks, it's just no one else is lucky enough to have such beautiful music in their lives Haha i love being a fangirl though ;D

okay, as nobody else is, i'm gonna ask: what is BMB? ^why to you have currency conversions? you're in the uk and you're ordering from uk stores, right? O.o if it helps your decision making, i'll definitely be watching the live stream and it starts an hour later for me even, i've just come home from evening school where i started to learn a new language, tomorrow is a normal work day + i'm going to a concert in the evening. who needs sleep anyway? most overrated thing in the world

I'm still floating over that LiveStream... Right.... niwo BMB - Best Music Buddies .... it's what I call Jessie on twitter haha but WE all are BMB's So don't worry girls I just thrown that in a rush. I was just saying the other day I hate abbriviations such as tbh (to be honest) imo (in my opinion) ugh awful... @cat You have the least irriatating and most inoffensive tweets around and Patrick loves our tweets I know he does. Remember that time before he went to Russia he was like I'm quitting twitter and we all helped change his mind for the better. I don't even remember when he followed me I remember asking cause I noticed he was following fans and the next thing I got a ''Patrick Wolf is now following you'' e-mail and exploded inside...I 'm the one who should worry I'm always blabbering on about crap and he must think ''Oh shut up'' but what he said to me in Dublin lit me up...I don't think he'd ever just follow a fan, I think it would have to be encouraged on your part...even if you did it in a sneaky way like ''Patrick can you follow me I need to DM you something'' haha. Cat I have never met you but I just know we'd get on if we met. We should go to a PW gig sometime together. I'll fly to Scotland or you come to Ireland if he plays Dublin, cheap flights and all that haha...I've always wanted to see Patrick with other fans and not someone forced to go haha! I have got a fair few replies off him but mostly they are answers to questions about albums or songs...I love when he replies its the best! But one time he replied to a tweet that wasn't mentioned at anyone so he obviously reads them hehe I love when people don't GET the PW thing but yet they encourage it! I think with Patrick you could never be a casual or a fair weather fan. He's not just for Christmas...he's for life haha. Don't even get me started on me and merchandise I always buy the unnecessary things just cause they are rarer Obviously we all watched and LOVED the LiveStream what a lovely treat! niwo yes I hate sleep... Ugh I have so much to pay for and so much coming up over the next 3 months....I really don't know how I'm gonna squeeze it all in. I'll have to give Jessie back her funds too! Speaking of which jessie will be online soon enough and will be able to fill us in on the gig, that EP, meeting Patrick and tell us how Patrick said you and I were ''trouble'' Cat haha Night ladies!

Haha I am enjoying reading this thread! I love my new friends! #BMB 4 ever. Lol. I have been up for 20 hours now so I only have time to say a few quick things - hands down best show I've ever been to. Patrick was wonderful! Everything I hoped & everything you guys said. I'm trying to remember everything the show was a blur! It went by too fast & I was so nervous when he started that I could not think of the song or the words or anything! I didn't cry! I think bc I was so close. I don't want to think about how much I spent. I bought the tshirt, a set of pins & the cd - cd was $25 btw. William was really sweet. I don't know what the live stream shows but it was cute when he kept saying the stage was too small (it is!). Anyhow, the show ended at 8:30 & Patrick came out into the lobby & signed things at the merch table. I was so nervous!! I just remember asking him for a hug then talking & getting a pic. Lol I think I hugged him 3 times (sorry people behind me!). I told him I was nervous & that I would have to come up with something clever to say 2moro bc I'd totally forgotten what I was going to say. He signed my tea towel & I told him we flew from Alabama & has been up since 4am. He said "Wow!" and that no one does that at home. He said, "thats crazy, but the good kind of crazy," and laughed. Since I'm from Birmingham he asked if I knew there was a Birmingham, England. I told him I was sorry if I drove him crazy on Twitter & asked my username & said he'd look for me. He asked if there was a certain song he could play & I had asked for "Divine Intervention" & he said it was a difficult string arrangement or something like that (basically that it would b hard to do). So I said the other one I really wanted to hear is "Armistice" he said something else then said, "Yes I can play Armistice - Armistice for Jessie." (!!!!!). So then I think I got another hug & photo. I'm not sure! He was just as sweet as everyone said. So maybe I'll get lucky & he'll remember me & either follow me on twitter or play the song! Either would b great. I'm glad I got my picture & to meet him. I will treasure that forever! Haha yes I said that I was supposed to say hi from Catriona & Damien & he gave this cute little smile and was like "those two:).. I know those two - they ARE trouble!" He laughed. It was sweet!
Oh! So we left & I was still shaking! Haha I'm sure I embarrassed myself but my friend said it wasn't that bad. Anyway, so we went out afterwards & we finally hailed a cab & we were stopped at a light & I just happened to look up & there was a group of people standing in front of a club or restaurant & Patrick was basically standing next to my window. The window was down but I did t try to get his attention.

Hahaha, aww thanks for telling him Jessie - that's made my day ;D I'm so happy for you!!! That's a shame about Divine Intervention, that's one of the songs i was going to try and get him to play when he comes here. Oh well, there's plenty of other songs it'd be wonderful to hear Yeah, i heard him saying that about the stage and it was so cute when he kept saying he sounded like a dalek! It was so wonderful being able to watch it from the other side of the world Aww thanks Damien I couldn't ask him to follow me, i'd feel like i was being too pushy Yeah it's amazing when he replies, but normally it's out of sympathy for me (like when someone else asks the same question as me, but he answers them not me, so then he finds something else i've said and comments on that), which is really sweet of him He's done that twice, and then when i asked if he could play one of my 3 favourite songs last month he said he would + thanked me for travelling from Scotland (but then never actually played them ) Yeah it'd be really nice to meet you in real life - i'm more likely to go gigs in England than Ireland though (i don't understand airports - i like trains better ) But yeah it'd be so cool to go to a gig together I normally just go to gigs by myself and befriend random people for the night. Niwo will be my gig buddy for the Glasgow show though I was actually thinking of trying to persuade a couple of my uni friends to come but i think it's sold out now. Haha today i saw my uni friends for the first time in ages and at one point they were talking about gigs so i was like "Patrick's coming to Glasgow in November!!!!" And one of my friends (who does a different course so i don't see her as often) asked "Who's Patrick?". And my friend was like "Patrick Wolf - he's Catriona's love." And my other friend was like "He knows her name!" And they all started telling her all about how obsessed i am and i was like "yeah ;D" I've found out that it might actually be physically possible for me to go to the Manchester show! It's the only show which falls within my four week break from labs (except Cardiff, which is too far away with uni the next day) which means i finish uni at 1 instead of 5, and the next day i don't have to be in til 12. But the only seats left are way up in the highest circle I've been in the lower circle before (for the Palladium and when i saw Owen Pallett) and that's not too bad but i'm not sure what it would be like in the upper circle So i'm wondering whether or not i should go. I'm not sure yet if my lectures are missable so i'd probably need to get a really early train to be back in Glasgow before 12. And i'd need to check i don't have tutorials or tests or anything then. Hmmm... Edit: So i have one organic chemistry test this semester and when is it... the 7th of November at 11am!!! There goes that plan

I love the photo of you together as well. Love it all especially that you got that ep and got to meet him. You must fill us in on what happened the second night and of course in Boston tonight as well. Did you get a performance of Armistice in the end? I lvoe what he said to you about Cat and myself...we are trouble!! ;D That's what I love about Patrick he really appreciate's his fans. He's so interested in us as a group you know... Hahaha, aww thanks for telling him Jessie - that's made my day ;D I'm so happy for you!!! That's a shame about Divine Intervention, that's one of the songs i was going to try and get him to play when he comes here.

There goes that plan Whenever Patrick replies to me on twitter it's always things that I only casually wanted to know or have said...and the things I NEED to know are never answered haha. I would love that. Yeah I spotted you and niwo had mentioned it the last day that'll be nice No fighting over the ep's you hear!? I'm exactly the same Cat! You know the way whenever anyone talks about celebrities you alweays use their full name like ie Britney Spears, Brad Pitt. Well with Patrick I always refer to him as just Patrick and obviously things like him following me and so on, everyone is like ''Are ye like friends or something?'' and I was like ''I wish!!'' Shame about the gig, it's the worst when real life stuff gets in the way!!

So happy for you - it sounds like you've had the most wonderful time Hahaha yeah Damien i'm still grinning about that ;D Yeah he never replies to things i really want to know either - i kind of bombarded him with questions about these EPs and he just ignored me Haha that would be so cool if we were friends with him A couple of my Feeling friends are actually friends with Dan now cos they go to pretty much every one of The Feeling's shows! Yeah everyone knows who i mean now when i just say Patrick! Yeah, i just keep telling myself if i do well at uni then once i graduate i'll be able to earn lots of money and choose my holidays so i can go to loads of PW gigs!

I've tried to post an update several times on my phone (still in Boston) but it wasn't posting. Anyway this trip has been amazing. Ive met plenty of musicians but Patrick is so different. I just love his music so much! I can't remember half of what happened! The 2nd night in NYC was super stressful, we were running late, got stuck on the train, coukdnt get a cab, went to the wrong subway stop, finally hailed a cab & got stuck in traffic! The venue recommends you get there by 6 to be seated. We got there at 7:15. I was so stressed out & nervous by then b/c this was such a small place & our seats we're in the front so I was so worried about interrupting him! Luckily he'd only done one song. I really thought we would miss the entire show! I was so upset & almost gave up on getting there. Anyhow! That's about me, not Patrick. The show was great but I could tell he wasn't in a good mood like the night b4. I can't remember everything he played but Seversl times he joked saying he wasn't a Cabernet singer & that he was classically trained. Then near the end he went on a Patrick rant. He had made several comments about people eating (there was a food/drink minimum). He stopped playing & said something like since there wasn't a live steam he was going to say what he wanted. He was mad b/c the venue didn't give them a rider & apparently they didn't comp the band's food & drinks. My husband is a musician & every decent venue he plays will at least give them a drink allowance. Patrick was mad that people were being served & said his band mates were having to beg for water. Then he said, "f*ck you. I will NEVER play here again!" He started playing & was lovely. He mentioned that he was going to play "armistice" but played another song instead. I figured after what he said that there was no way he would come out to sign things. I asked William if he was coming out & he said yes. Awhile later someone from the club came in the lobby & said Patrick would not be out. It was still a great show. I'll post about Boston 2moro. I'm tired!

@cat I really wish he would come and do another q and a not just on here but maybe twitter or on livestream some time maybe after the tour but before Xmas...I might suggest it to him on twitter haha. Aw taht'd be cute... jessie No proble, at least you're here now. Hmm yeah that did seem like a very non Patrick venue though just small and all the eating and drinking wouldn't be the norm based on the past. Yeah you'd think they'd at least give them water. You gave the gifts to William didn't you> Can't wait to hear about Boston!

Yes, please ignore all of my iPhone typos I am sick of that phone! LOL. Obviously Patrick was never a Cabernet singer nor a Cabaret singer! Boston was great, that opening act was terrible. I hate to say that if anyone likes them. I thought the show was meant to start at 6, but Patrick didn't start until about 8. He did play "Armistice" - finally! He didn't seem like he was in a great mood the first and second song, but then he lightened up. It was great! Bigger stage, better show and you could actually see the video playing behind him.I'm sorry I can not remember set lists, but he did come out and do 2 encores. Yes, I did have to leave my gifts with William because Patrick didn't come out I was really hoping to see him again, but its ok. I'm so sad it's over! One thing that I really didn't like at the Boston show was staying seated. I wanted to jump up so bad! It was different in NYC b/c honestly that was set up like a dinner theater and there really wasn't room to stand up. Did I say that a few hours after the first show we were in our cab and stopped at a red light and Patrick and some other people were going into a club? I am such a dork! We'd just ordered this GIANT NYC pizza, like I couldn't move the box was so big and we were going back to the train to get to our hotel, and I look out the taxi window next to me and there is Patrick Wolf.... lol... My friend was like "say something! Let's get out" - Um no! What will I do with this giant pizza??? That was only a few hours after I met him and I didn't want to bother him and his friends and also, I figured I'd have 2 more days to see him. Now I wish I'd been a little more brave. I was still embarrassed about being fangirl. I was hoping he'd let us ask questions in Boston because I was going to have to ask if I had to continue sitting! He played "Pelicans" which he said he'd never played live before, then he said he was going to play "Trust" and I totally embarrassed my friends and myself because I just started clapping when he said it and no one else was clapping and everyone started laughing, including Patrick. I'm not sure what he said. (I wish I knew, or maybe not?). But yes, I'm that girl that messed that up. Haha. My friend was laughing at me the night we met Patrick because we were all just standing in the lobby and I glanced over and I said, "Oh my god, there's Patrick Wolf." He said, "Well, go talk to him!." I was like, "No! You don't understand, he's really just walking into the room," lol. Total fan girl. I was shaking and everything. Sorry if I'm repeating myself. It's late and I'm not sure what my phone let me post when I was gone.

and it was so cute when he kept saying he sounded like a dalek! oh thanks for clearing that up for me! i was thinking my brain was playing tricks on me, criss-crossing between fandoms, especially as nobody in the audience answered to that remark with something like EXPLAIN EXPLAIN! (and it didn't sound any dalek-ish to me, but that's another thing ) the german pack only uses 'Patrick' instead of 'Patrick Wolf' because the wolf pronounciation is difficult for most ... good to know we randomly fit into the general habit ;D jessie, your tour adventure sounds fantastic (just sucks with the stupid venue people in nyc). i sometimes thought he might not be in the greatest of moods, but really i think he's just nervous and overly concentrated at the beginning of gigs, so he looks all concentrated and a bit grim-faced. so far the gigs i've been to, that always changed after a couple of songs, when he felt more comfortable on stage and had the first reactions from the audience. pumpkin soup? <3 oh my gosh. i have never dared asking for it, but now with the EPs - even if i couldn't get a signed one, i'd still like to have the songs and would gladly pay just for a self-burnt thing with a printed songlist to it. they do sound rather expensive though... 25 dollars = 19,40 euros = 15,40 pounds +/- exchange rates. or is 25 dollars a usual price for a cd in the US? anyway, will still be glad to contribute to their income, must be a tough life, on the road with all those costs for travelling and accommodation and i won't participate in any more q+a things that might have my face end up on youtube, i'm still so so so ashamed ;D

That is true, apparently he did burn them and everything himself. During the Boston show the video closed and you could see the desktop on his computer and he turned around and was like, wow I'm glad Safari is closed and he mentioned some other things that were on there, but I couldn't see it. I hope there will be more YouTube videos added for all of the shows so I can remember when I was too excited to think! The first NYC show, the first song, I was so confused about what song he was playing, even though I knew the song and knew the words, it just all ran together because I was so happy!
I haven't listened to the EP yet, but I will in a little bit. I agree about their traveling costs, etc. and honestly even though Joe's Pub was a nice venue to see him in, but I hate that they were jerks to him and his band. And it's really sad that ticket costs were $25, yet the club was making at the minimum $30-$50 on every seat. There were only 161 seats each night. It was sold out. He probably had a guarantee for going, but I can't imagine that being very much if they weren't even giving them food & drinks. I would have gladly paid $100 for all of my tickets rather than spending all that money at the venue. My friend bought a bottle of wine for $50 which should have covered both of our minimums, and they added a $12 fee just for bringing it to the table.

jessie That's ok. Did you update your iPhone to iOS6 software? Cause if so all the autocorrect words will have been deleted so that would explain typo's and mistake's....''Trust''. ''Pelicans'' AND ''Pumpkin Soup''? *explodes* I would die. Well at least you got to give your gifts in Hahah imagine running up to Patrick with the pizza like haha... I NEED the EP but like niwo said I don't really mind about having it signed so...$25 is fairly pricey though ESPECIALLY by US standards niwo I meant a Q+A where we can see him but he can only see our questions haha. jessie the first song on the first show in New York was 'Teignmouth' it is just gorgeous!!! That venue sounds like such a rip off and to be honest so very un-Patrick...

I agree about the EP. I would have wanted it but I'm not sure I would have paid $25 for it, but it was definitely worth having since he's drawn all over it That is so funny, I knew the music, I knew the words but I was just so excited my mind went completely blank! And actually, I think I spent this whole trip in Patrick La-la land. We were in Salem at one of the witch museums and one of the workers started asking me about my shirt being tarot cards and I was like, "No it's Patrick Wolf." Then, wait a minute, I'm a dummy! Of course it is! All in all for everything I bought the cd wasn't really that bad considering I bought 2 shirts, 4 pins, 2 patches and the cd and only spent $77. I never buy things at concerts b/c they are so expensive and that was less than some bands charge for one or two things. I'll do the iPhone update. I'm so tired of it changing "love" to "live"! Not to mention Just to Lust. For real! So glad I didn't tweet that. It would have been the one thing he saw!

Wow Pumpkin Soup?!!!! And Penzance, Bitten, Trust, Pelicans... so incredibly jealous!!! There are so many songs i'm dying to hear live but if i requested them all it'd be well over a setlist's worth (and might seem a tad greedy...) Didn't he play Pelicans as an intro to something during the Lupercalia tour? (I think i remember watching a video and being very jealous cos we didn't get any Brumalia songs, being the first show of the tour ) Sounds like you had the most incredible experience Jessie! That's such a shame the venue treated him so badly in New York. That must be so strange that everyone was eating - i always lose the ability to eat when Patrick's around! That's a shame you only got to meet him once, but still it's much better than nothing! I'm the opposite when i meet Patrick - i go running up to him like "PATRICK - hello!!!" and then my mind goes completely blank so i'm like "oh dear, what on earth do i say next?!" Yeah i was thinking the EP seemed really expensive (is that not much more expensive than a full album?!) I'd pay ridiculous amounts of money for unreleased songs though! And for the fact it's hand made with drawings and everything on it Yeah that would be so cool if he could do a q+a thing - although no doubt i wouldn't be able to think of any decent questions til afterwards God, last time i asked the most idiotic questions i recorded at the last minute because i couldn't think of anything decent to ask (and i'd never realised how annoying my voice sounded!!!) - i'm still mortified at the thought that Patrick might have actually watched it Niwo i saw that video - your question was really good! And at least Patrick didn't just ignore it like he did with my stupid attempt (And he didn't sound anything like a dalek! ) Hahaha speaking of autocorrect, i nearly sent Patrick a tweet about his dogs instead of his songs the other day - luckily i read it over first!!!!!

He played "Bitten" all 3 nights & and he said it was for Amy Winehouse. I knew that but I didn't think he'd actually said it before (Maybe I'm wrong). In everything I heard he was vague about who it was for or didn't say her name. I didn't cry at the show (thank goodness!) but I have cried like a baby since then every time I listen to the audio of him singing it from the first show). The EP is about $10 more than a normal CD. I really didn't mind paying it and it wasn't too much for something that special. I love that mine says it was made in Brooklyn since that's where he was staying. I probably would have still bought it if it wasn't signed, but I would have had second thoughts. The Canadian shows had the same EP. I'm excited to see what's on the others as well and how many there will be. I would have paid another $25 for EP 2 or 3! It is crazy that I've only been listening him to for maybe 6-8 months! I just hope I at least made it clear in my rambling how much it meant to meet him & hear him live. Autocorrect - haha did you see my FB post after I met him? It said, "I lust met Patrick Wolf." No one believes that wasn't intentional! But I was walking in Manhattan trying to text and my hands were shaking. It was a great experience I just hate that it was over. I looked forward to it for so long! I'm going to get my passport renewed asap. Maybe next year I can suggest to my husband that we go to England on vacation ( planning it around PW shows, of course! ). Then we can go together London will have such a different meaning than it did when I was there before since I've discovered Patrick. I really thought I would be coming home to a Patrick Wolf intervention! My husband and best friend got suddenly so nice about him the day before I left. My friend called me and said she was picking me up so we could go back and get the book I'd seen for Patrick and she put up with me for a whole day looking at the same places we'd gone a few days before. Then my husband wanted me to play Patrick and was so nice about it! Usually when we get in the car he says, "No Patrick Wolf." (I say "No Beatles then!"). It was strange! I am glad you guys are here! I feel like I could talk about Patrick for hours and I have to remind myself to shut up at home! I'm always passionate about music and my favorite bands, but this is crazy! Anyway!! (Shameless promotion) You guys need to go like my husband's musician page on FB. He has an audition for a new band this week and I'm trying to get the page built up. www.facebook.com/pages/Bryan-Grady/334910793246154
