FAN ACCOUNT FROM THE STROMBO TAPING AND COSMOPOLIS CANADIAN PREMIERE



I was blessed to have attended The Strombo Show and the Canadian premiere of Cosmopolis. I was relentness with gaining access into the CBC show as it was closed to the public. With some luck I was placed on the guest list for the Cosmopolis taping with Rob. I also won premiere tickets from Virgin Radio. Both happened on Friday, June 1! I was stunned, happy, overwhelmed and humbled but still couldn"t believe this would all be happening on Monday.

 Here goes: The Strombo Show with the ultra cool host taped from 4pm to 6pm. We were an intimate audience of 130 excited fans. Security was tighter than usual. Maleapie and I were in the first group escorted into the studio. Settled into the 2nd row, slightly off centre. This was perfect as Rob would be angled towards us. The floor manager warned us not to scream and to stay in our seats. Photos, video and phones were also not permitted. Can you believe he even said "Vampires are not real. Vampires are not real." George interviewed first David, then Rob, Paul and Sarah. Rob entered stage right along with Dean. Dean stayed in the studio with his death glare constantly panning the audience. Funny that he wore the same brown polo top that he wore on our overnight set visit on July 7, 2011. Rob standing and waiting for his introduction was breathtaking.
