The Goodies, or, 'They're so short'
That's right. I met the Goodies. In person. And I have a signed DVD to prove it.
It was fantastic, on Friday night I was killing some time before going to see Sideways (a film I found utterly depressing, so the goodies was an excellent 'upper') and I came across a flyer announcing that the Goodies were launching their next DVD on Saturday!
So I got up early (thanks Jo! She SMSed me at 8am :) and headed off for the show at Prince Charles cinema.
There was a big crowd outside and I was worried that I might not get a ticket, but was distracted from my concerns when the three boys themselves emerged for a press call. And they're so short! They've shrunken over the years, but even so Tim and Graeme are a lot shorter than I imagined. In fact, one might now call them 'cute'.
There was a rather scathing, and amusing, Q&A before launching into the screening of 'the movies' and 'bunfight at the OJ corral' (the one with the tomato squeeze guns). Actually I think it might have been the other way around. Finally we all filed past, gave our congrats, and got our very expensive DVDs signed.
Last thing I'd like to say is, oh my god, what a lot of Aussies! Aparently they didn't really repeat the Goodies here more than once, and so people of my generation and below don't know who they are. The guy I was sittin gnext to was Aussie, half the questions came from aussies, and the group of people behind me in line for the DVDs were Aussies.
Oh oh! And anoghter 'final thing' - Graeme and Tim are heading to Aussie with a stage show, so look out for it and tell me what it's like. I don't know if it is Goodies themed, but I'm a bit miffed I won't be there to see it.

By the grace of Jenn, some of us have really good tickets :) Apparently it's not Goody-specific and features all three of the likely lads.
