me: "OMG! David Hasselhoff is so gonna be at LFCC this year"
Sue: "Really? You so need to get his autograph"
me: "Aah shit at £30 a pop I don't!!"
(I feel I should point out that although we have been to several conventions, The London Film and Comic Con being our main one, we have never (EVER!!) done the whole photo/autograph scene, and for reasons unknown have spent a lot of time avoiding it).
I just wasn't prepared to spend £30 on a bit of ink on an A4 size postcard, I also thought Sue was thinking the same however little did I know that this simple text conversation had awoken something inside her and she would spend the next 2-3 days thinking of nothing else:
Sue: "So I think you should get your photo taken with The Hoff, it's still £30 but much more fun than just an autograph!"
Me: "seriously? You're still thinking about that?"
Sue: " Yu huh, I have it all worked out. I'm thinking maybe Peter Dinklage or Lena Headey for mine, so hell yer lets do this"
Me: "............................................................................"
£30 later, yes Im seriously easily misled by my BFF, I was the proud yet unprepared owner of ticket number 58 for a photo shoot withThe Hoff.
Finally, Saturday 6th July 2013 arrived and I awoke early, a little over excited about the days up and coming events (seriously I was like a kid on blue smarties!!)
However with many other exciting things to see and do at LFCC the time of the shoot, 1.15pm, came round so quickly there really wasn't anytime to think about it. Before I knew it this was happenning:
Then approximately 20 minutes later I found myself only a couple of people away from The Hoff (MEEP) and before I knew it I was next, all I could think was "Don't trip up Flo for the love of God dont trip......ooh I do love his boots". Then it was my turn....
Me: "oh I love your boots"
The Hoff: "Hi, oh thanks I've had them forever" (yes he totally talked to me...!)
At this point all I can think is "omg David Hasselhoff has his arm around me" then this happened:

Yes he is very tall, and yes Im a short arse! |
Squee!!
Amazing photo of a genuinely nice guy and me of course *insert happy smiley face here*
But this isn't where the story ends, I'm sure you are all dying to find out what happened with Sue and her photo...?
Well at 3.20pm, that very same day, this was happening :
And then at approximately 3.50pm this totally happened:
Two words:
TOTALLY & AWESOME!!
