"Hello dear tribers, about a year ago, I published my memories (here on the tribe) of the amazing experience I had in Cardiff, Wales, where I finally got my chance to see the queen live for the first time. I was in heaven after all that happened to me, I don't think I need to explain it here -again- what it is for a fan to see Madonna for the first time, and from the first row! It was Madge-ical! But, that was not the end...

The day after the show, and after the best night sleep I ever had, I rushed up to the train station in Cardiff to go back to London. No matter how fast I ran I missed the train I was going for - but as they say, there are coincidences in life - and as I got to station, waiting for the next train to come, I saw 2 guys sitting on the bench. One of them looked at me, smiled and asked "did you enjoy the show last night?" referring to the golden confessions tour balloon I was holding, and the confessions merchandise I was wearing and holing in my confessions tour begs (I was all Madonna!) - "Oh my god!" I answered, and from that moment I couldn't stop talking about it! The guy introduced himself as Neil (aka andifeel from the tribe forums), and his friend Burak. We talked for a while, and then Neil asked me if I'm going to the show on the 1st, in Wembley Arena... I said, "No, I don't have a ticket :( I wish" - "I can get you a ticket" Neil said, and I was like "hhhhaaa" , we realised we were to go on the same train, and Neil said, "come sit with us".

The ride back was the most fun I've ever had! I've never spoke so free and openly with total strangers, I guess that's how it is with us Madonna fans, we're all one big family. We talked about Madonna, (duh) the show, my drawings, the millions of copies Neil buys of every Madonna CD and a lot more! (to Burak if you're reading this, I'm still not flexible enough to what you suggested! ;)
Before Neil and Burk got off the train, Neil took my Email address, and said he'll see what he can do about finding me a ticket to the show - "You came all the way from Israel, who knows when you'll be able to see her again in the near future?!" he said to me and I was so hyped up about the fact I may have a chance to see Madonna again, as it wasn't even in my wildest dreams that I'll get so lucky...

Late that day when I got to house of the woman who had me as a guest at her house, I opened up my mail to see a massage from Neil, directing me to ticket master, where he found the best seat ever, right in the front rows to side, where Madonna performs "Like A Virgin", right to the side of the cat walk. When the day came along I met Neil and Burak again, and also wonderful Sharon (wannabe) and Tony (tonybecks) - Although I missed Madonna being there to uncover her hand print on the floor, but it didn't stopped me from being so excited - I'm gonna see the show again! As time went by a lot of fans were outside the Arena, buying all of the merchandise - this is where I really got to see "THE FANS", people were dressed up like Madonna, with outfits inspired by the confessions album... All of a sudden there was a little commotion to the side, we went to see what the big fuss is all about and I saw the greatest fan girls out there, dressed up as Madonna from different eras and they were fab!!!

Then they opened the gates and it was time for us to get inside the Arena - it was very small comparing to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, an stage was very close to the floor, so that was fantastic. Also I was about to see the show from a whole new point of view and that was so amazing! I was looking through the audience to see the fans and Neil pointed out for me to look in front cause no other then (the amazing) William Orbit was sitting a row in front of us! then the show began and what a spectacle of a show was that! During "Future Lovers" as Madonna spends most of her time in the front catwalk, with her back pointing at me, I took the time to view the stunning video backdrops of this song - this is by far one of the best videos ever produced for one of Madonna's tours, along side with RIT's Bedtime Story. During "Get Together" where Madonna lays own on the floor, she was right there in front of me, I could literally reach my hand and touch her! I yelled something at her, I think it was in Hebrew, don't really remember, and she smiled at me! If you ever got to be lucky enough to have her smiling at you, you know what I was going through ;)
