Meeting opportunity: Morricone at Royal Albert Hall (April 10)

Bregt told me I'll be the wisest one there tomorrow.

I think this is Bregt's nice way of saying 'you're the oldest fooker here'.

That's just about enough people for my experiment.

Add Jim, Mark (Rayen) and John Chambers (the nautic guy)

Yes I shall be there!

I'm in a taxi on the way to Bristol from Heathrow at the moment but I'll head straight back up to London in the morning!

I won't make it to the High street Kensington part as I have friends from back home over in London this weekend who I'm spending the bulk of the weekend with so I really need to call in on them first. But I'll see you at the pub and stay till some of you head to the concert. If someone could private message me their mobile number just in case plans change that would be great.

look forward to seeing you all in person then!

I'm looking forward to see you all for the first time

Rightly so!

Yay!

So the absent MT-dudes should be somewhere at the point of fraternizing about now?

Tim won!

Yes, enjoy yourself. I'm sitting here wishing that I had gone. The weather's really good, the gathering will be rally interesting. Have one on me!

Has Ennio cancelled yet?

Excellent!

And some pics would be appreciated!

We're back and it was awesome!

Members present:
Thor!
Timmer!
Anthony!
Jim!
John Chambers!
Thomas!
Elin!
Bregt!

Thank you very much for coming!


Finally we met Thor. Looking very hip and not too hungover or tired. Pity we weren't able to join afterwards with his friends but the situation didn't really permit us. Of course, Timmer was the wisest, although he didn't knew he was. Great to see him ordering half a pint! This was a first.

Anthony made it as well! He somehow convinced me to come to Ubeda this year and I'll try to. His presence resulted in me not being the youngest! Thomas and Elin joined me from Belgium and it was great to know Elin better. She was the only woman in this sausage est. Next time we need Miya, Bregje, Stavi, keky, ... joining too!

And then later also John Chambers joined the club. We don't know him so much (he is the underwater camera guy) but apparently he was a lurker all these years, and knew us very well. He actually lives in Bristol too (right?) and was gonna join the previous MT meeting in the UK, but then was called to film on some exotic location. He showed us pictures of his trips and the diving, and I think everyone at the table could say that was the most awesome job at that table.

Jim joined as well and good to know some of the stories in film music concert land. He also guided us through the Kensington area and the choice of pubs was excellent, especially the one just before the concert, which had super lasagne. Thanks for the guidance!

I'll tell more about the concert, but let us say it was definitely one of the top concerts I've been too. He gave us three encores, including the spectacular duo Ecstasy of Gold and On Earth as it is in Heaven. My heart skipped a few beats during this, and goosebumps all the way through. What a spectacular location as well!

Oh, and the kazoo. Yeah, that's the first official MainTitles gadget.
The goal is that I give them to all members, and that on every meeting, people bring them again, and that we play a film music piece in front of a building/place/... of interest during that meeting, and record that. Pictures later!
