Meeting Hugo Weaving!!

Well this time last week i was getting very excited about going to my first world premier.

Its not often that a major Hollywood star arrives here in Adelaide, but when they do you cant miss out on the chance to meet them in person. I remember sitting in my bedroom last Monday bored stupid watching the news and the last 30 secs i heard were about the Adelaide Film festival. Now its not the biggest festival in Australia but its certainly becoming popular.

So after texting 2 of my insane friends who love Hugo we organised for the trip to the cinema for the 27Th of Feb the day of the premier. I don't think either of them believed me to start off with, considering my first text message to one of my friends was "Hey do you want to stalk Hugo Weaving with me?" LOL. Eventually both came round and were as excited as i was.

I remember showing up at 8pm and there wasn't anyone there, no press nothing it was empty. I guess when you go to a premier this isn't what you expect to see, but at least the red carpet was out that told me at least the day was right!.
With the Movie due to start at 9pm and the time ticking away i was starting to think we would miss our chance to say hi and get some autographs. But sure enough Hugo arrived at 8.55pm and the press swarmed like flies, one minute hardly anyone is there and the next minute its packed.

Eventually we got through the pack and waited for Hugo to finish posing for photos and then i took my chance. I present him with my Lord of the Rings photo and i don't think he was to pleased. He groaned at the sight of it, but still since we were the only graphers there he was still Good enough to sign them. As i watched him he began to sign the folder my photo was sitting on rather then the photo, so according to my friend the following took place because i cant remember!

Me: "Ah could you please sign my actual photo?"
Hugo: "Does it really matter?"
Me: "Ah yes it does you see i wanted to frame the photo"
Hugo " Oh alright then"

So he signed the shorter version of his name on the photo and long version on the folder so i have it twice!

Once my friends got theirs signed we left for ice cream. It certainly was a fun night!

Here are the autographs:
