Here's my story from the weekend i Copenhagen. It's a long story, so I'll make it REALLY brief.
Saturday afternoon the Stones arrieved. I was in line in front of the Hotel, but with A LOT of fans. Actually 200-300 people!! So saturday night was quiet. BUT!
Sunday morning 9 0'clock and I the ONLY guy there. No other fans. Blondie comes out an I approach him. He signs my Tattoo You LP. Great. And the he asks me where to by carpets. I tell and he asks me to show him where. So I walk with around copenhagen, talking about the Stones and other things. We end up after and hour or so in an outside cafe having a pint!!!! That guy is so nice!!!
Then in the afternoon I met Patti coming back to the hotel from shopping. I walk over to her and give her a scarf that I ask her to give Keith. She smiles. I also ask her if she will take my Tattoo You Lp for a signing. She takes up to Keith's suite and 15 minutes later a security guy comes down with the LP, and it reads:

In the beginning he was vary aware what to respond to my questions. But as we walked he losened up and I THINK he could feel my passion about the band. I think he understood that I was a die hard fan. I was very much aware NOT to go deep into the stones in the beginning. But we talked about the St. Petersburg gig (which he enjoyed VERY much) and the Gothenburg show, which he admitted was crap as Ketih had a off-day (he said so). But he was fine about Gothenburg. He said he give f..k whether the bad has off days or not. He knows them and knows they are the best.
Later on when I met him (after Patti got me the auto) he said that could have gotten it for me, he just wouldn't do it. he said he wanted to see how far I would go to get it...I then asked if he could get me Micks, but he said that NO ONE interupts Mick at any time. Mick wants to relax and enjoy time inbetween shows. And finally he said that the hardest auto to get these days is Charlies! 'Cause Charlie VERY rarely leaves his suite.
Oh, yes and asking about whether the tour continues in the fall or in the sping....he smiled quietly! I'm not saying ANYTHING (as he didn't) but...i'm just trying to analyze his cryptic smile!!

Well, let me put it this way: I know where Blondie will be 10 am this morning in CPH! But guys, I can't tell you, 'cause he wants to be left alone!

thats a lovely story Michrud, and great that your patience and softly does it attitude resulted in such a great reward. Im Jealous, but very happy for you.
Cool story, I would have loved to meet Blondie and even get an autograph from Keith. that will never happen to me I'm not that lucky. I am from the USA and theStones won't even come back down to New Orleans looks like. YOu all who can get autographs and meet the Stones are really lucky.
