Shine On

these are the ones I have so far. until I get the rest, here's the story...

SO, it's finally thursday and Kristel and I met for lunch then went to the tv channel. they told us the kooks won't be playing there that day, but friday, cause apparently luke got sick or something like that. we were like... shit, that's depressing. so we looked at each other like, what now? we walked all the way to the hotel sheraton, and this two girls (lore and fran) were already there. we thought, they're probably here. they thought, shit, no more people please. we stayed with them and talked for a while, they turned out to be really really nice girls. some minutes later the guys came out dressed like tennis players. of course they were going to play tennis. we just asked for pictures and autographs and let them go. i said, have fun! and they were all incredibly nice to us. paul's smile is the most beautiful smile on the world. then they came back like an hour later and we talked again for a while. i told paul, your smile is so beautiful, besides you're the only one that smiles, you should tell the others to smile! so he yelled: luke, smile!. and laughed. what a sweetheart. luke's all serious but you look (no pun intended) into his eyes and you notice he might be serious but he's actually very nice, once you get a little familiar with him. he kept saying "hey love", and we kept melting. their accent... ohdeargod that accent. it's delicious. the one with hugh doesn't look good though, but i still love it. anyway. they went inside and we were all happy, except i didn't have hugh's autograph on my pencil case. i had pete's luke's and paul's but not hugh's. still i was really happy. i had that smile when people think you're in love. friday kristel and i got together again, walked to the tv channel and had some trouble to go into the studio cause it was full of people. thanks to her angry side (which i did not know) we got to go inside and we saw them at that fucking tv show, which i've never even seen before. after the show we went to the hotel. got there like at 7.30 pm. the bellhop man, who was really nice (named wilfredo, amazing name by the way), greeted us and said i know they're going out at 8 pm. we thanked him and got happy again. they came out and finally i talked with hugh for a while and asked him for an autograph on my pencil case. he was on the van waiting for the rest to get in, so we got to talk just the two of us for some minutes. then pete came in and tried to scare me or something, by suddenly getting his head out of the window and yelling WAH!! i laughed and said, hey man what's up!! he smiled at me. then luke came in and said again hey love. i melted and said hey luke! nice to see you again. then paul came in and they took off. kristel and i were hungry so we went to a doggi's and ordered some french fries. i had sprite, she had quatro. we were both really smiley and happy. then she told me, let's walk all the way to manuel montt (a metro station), there is a bar there where bands always go to eat, they might be there. i said, yeah sure. although my legs were killing me. but we walked. we were walking and suddenly i stopped and said, kris, they're there. luke and pete were outside smoking and taking pictures with this two girls. we walked up to them and said hey again guys! they were like, oh hey! they came up to us (and the girls kinda dissappeared), and hugh was just coming outside, and kristel didn't have his autograph so she went to ask him to sign her cds. we told luke, we already have autographs and pictures with you guys, this is like the fourth time we've met. so he said, well then let's just talk. so he asked, what are you guys doing? school or something? i said i'm still in school, this is my last year, she's in college, studying music. he asked her, oh so you're a musician? she said, no i'm studying to produce some bands. i thought musical production but didn't actually verbalize it. luke kept telling us he was a bit drunk, and he was actually really close to me, so i kinda put my hand on his arm and pushed him just a little away, but still being nice. he told me he was amazed that we were being so nice to them, as in going to the hotel to meet them and asking for pictures and autographs and even running into them outside and just staying for a while to talk with them. cause it was the first time they were in southamerica, and it was amazing for them that the fans were being so great. i told him, it's as amazing as it for us, the fact that you actually care about us, cause some bands are like "oh yeah the fans whatever". they were being really nice to us as well. so we kinda thanked each other for a while and laughed. he was drinking wine so i asked him, so you're drinking chilean wine? i can't believe you didn't try it before cause we export wine everywhere. he said, yeah it's really good. and handed me his glass. i accepted it and had a sip. it was really good. i told him, it's really good. after that i don't remember what we talked about, but he said maybe you didn't recognize me, cause i cut my hair. i laughed so hard at this and told him, it's a very good haircut actually. he had a sip of wine and drooled (it looked quite sexy), muttered embarrassing and cleaned his mouth with his hand. i said but don't do it with your hand! and then he cleaned his hand on his shirt. i said but not on your shirt! he asked me if i had a napkin. then he said, no no no no, do you have a SERVILLET? which is like the spanglish version of napkin. i laughed and took out a napkin to clean his hand. after cleaning it he said oh thank you and smiled, pete said that's nice, and smiled. on thursday when we met paul i told him it had been kristel's birthday some days ago (june 8th). he said happy birthday to her, a kiss and a hug. and apparently told the guys cause luke asked me, are you the birthday girl? i laughed and said, no it's her. then happy birthday a kiss and a hug from luke, pete and hugh. somebody, i don't remember who, asked, how old are you. she said i'm 19. then that same somebody said, well, welcome to ... welcome to being nineteen. then i talked with luke a bit and asked him to play longer, cause they said they'd play like an hour and a half. he asked me which song i wanted to hear, i said all of them, but especially shine on, and if you remember to dedicate it to dee (that's me!) i'll appreciate it very much. he said, ok i'll try to remember. then they had to go back inside, and i stole a hug and a kiss from him. he kissed me (on the cheek, of course) too and we said our goodbyes. saturday, we waved to pete cause we were right in front of him and he recognized us. the only time in the whole show he smiled was when kristel and i waved at him. the show was amazing. except we almost die under luke when he decided to come sing to "our" side, but it was still fun. there are videos also of that but i'll have them when i will, so until then, i'll just have the story and what i remember of it. there are two pictures with paul because one is from when they were leaving to play tennis and the other one is from when they came back, and kristel and i talked with him for a while. another thing i remember is that somebody was whistling, and we answered whistling and that somebody answered too. then i found out it was luke, cause i asked pete and he said luke's always whistling. i asked luke were you whistling? he laughed and said i don't know and started whistling. i laughed and said, yeah it was you, we were answering. and they played shine on, but luke didn't remember to dedicate it to dee. but they still played it!
