Oh my goodnes. I know this is the Belle and Sebastian list and not alt.fan.teen-idols, but I have to share this story with somebody, anybody, all you strangers. For the past three years I've been doing this zine called "The Scaredy-cat Stalker" about my obsession with Henry Thomas (Elliott from "E.T." if you didn't know). I've been devising ways to hunt him down for who knows how long. Well, I had a ticket for the Nov. 1 show, but I was all sick and worried that I wouldn't be able to make it, but I made myself get dressed (at 5 PM) took a bunch of cold medicine and headed off. I get to the show and I'm all dizzy and sweaty, but also giddy and excited about finally seeing Belle and sebastian live. I got behind this guy in a pea coat for awhile and then he turned around and started walking my direction and sweet jesus it was Henry Thomas! I thought I was hallucinating, but it really was him and he knew who I was. It turns out he's a big Belle and Sebastian fan (he's even on this list) and happened to be in town for a couple weeks. How lucky was that? We hung out and he was nice enough to buy me a couple whisky sours. (And Jessica if you're reading this, I'm sorry if I came off as rude or unfriendly when you said hi, but I was in the middle of the biggest freak out of my entire life and I got all tongue-tied). I finally got to meet the object of my obsession face to face and I owe it all to Belle and Sebastian. Oh, and the show wasn't half bad either.
