Today was hands down one of the greatest days of my life! Since I was 10 I have wished to meet Paul McCartney and 18 years later I finally did!! Not only that, but I was front and centre at the pop-up gig in Covent Garden! I was luck enough to be traipsing around London with Ellie and Lucy. We got gold wristbands so we could leave and come back later. We had heard rumours about the pop-up gig and decided to head to Trafalgar Square. Once we were there we found out he was going to be at Covent Garden we were first on the scene! It was surreal! I screamed and he said something to me on stage, so AMAZING! When I met him it was so surreal! I had to spell my name out to him 4 times lol! Probably because I was speaking so fast, I knew I only had seconds. Even though it was only moments, it was so amazing and he seemed happy with what I said to him and I made him smile Best day ever. I do feel bad for those who got a black wristband and didn't get a signature. That's raising someones hopes and throwing them down. Not the best way to handle the wristband situation, but I can't complain because I was fortunately lucky enough to win!

Aparently there are about 20 people queueing now!
I know, I just saw on Facebook! If there is more than 100 people by 5 then I don't know if I should bother

Well I'm going to go the night before and hope they are letting people queue. I have justified getting the day off by saying that the signing will be for work!

RE: Paul Album Signing HMV London Friday 18th Oct.
Well there is one thing I know and that is Paul always looks after his fans. I trust that he would stay later and sign autographs for those who waited overnight, but I don't like the idea that HMV are so non-committal. But, that's the way it goes. Is anyone on here planning on queuing? Thanks for the HMV Twitter update Alexio91!!

I'm starting to think there are only 20 tickets that will be given away to fans. The other 40 are probably not going to be given away to fans. I don't know if I should go or not. They haven't said that they will allow people to queue up overnight. I wish they would confirm that Paul is going to sign for more than 60 people.

HMV said something about giving tickets away through their social media. I keep checking regularly but I haven't found anything yet. I signed up to their email list just in case. The ebay sellers are asking people for their names for a dedication now. Cheeky!!

How could there be a competition winner already? I thought the only competition was the the McCartney Twitter one and they haven't announced any winners yet. As far as I know. In the BBC 2 competition they only picked people from London. As if nobody can travel to London for the event. These dealers really make me mad. I don't even want an autograph, I just want to meet him. That's an idea for Paul! It would mean more to me (and probably most fans) to just take a picture with him. It's a memory for us, not something we can flog on Ebay.
