Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 You're definitely not alone on that one! I feel like I'm going to completely waste the opportunity... Me too. I want to be able to tell her something unique and what she hasn't heard a million times before but I reckon I'll be saying "I love you" over and over again and crumbling to a blubbering mess with mascara down my face for the picture.

Haus 152 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'm really shy and don't like the fact it's not properly alone. I don't want to be stared at when I'm fangirling and being embarrassing lol. I hear ya. I get anxiety in big crowds and strange situations, and that would count as a strange situation, and I don't wanna look like a complete fool. But there is so much I want to say that I'm afraid it's just gonna come out as word spew. Don't worry, guys. I didn't say anything during the group chat just because I was so starstruck and didn't even know what to say, but the individual time really feels like it's just you two even though there are a few staff around, such as the photographer and her security guy. Your focus is on nothing else but GaGa and you won't even know that there's anyone around. All that I can recommend is writing down on a Post It (they're strict about phones, so no notes app or something) everything that you want to tell her. Just make sure it's brief and not super long stories, because the individual time is maybe a little over a minute and it goes fast. Also, of course you can write a letter if you do have a story or experiences that you want to share, because she does read them and she promised me that she would read mine.

Yeah the group chat is also something I'm wondering about. Is it just like whoever wants to say something does, or does it go around and you can take turns to ask a question? I feel like if it's just random I'd probably not jump in for fear of cutting someone else off. I'm trying to figure out what I want to say the most, but it's hard because there is so much. lol I know i'm going to have some things to give to her (not just from myself), so that'll take a little time too. I'm just kinda worried that I'll go off on a tangent and talk about useless crap and waste the time i have (even if I did write stuff down on a post it). haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
somechick 1 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Me too. I want to be able to tell her something unique and what she hasn't heard a million times before but I reckon I'll be saying "I love you" over and over again and crumbling to a blubbering mess with mascara down my face for the picture. aww. :( Thankfully I'm not generally one for breakdowns when I meet people, but if I get too anxious i just start talking really fast and usually about pointless stuff. hehe Maybe you need to get extra strength water proof mascara. ;) Oh God, speaking of....I need to find somewhere to do my make up that day. I wear glasses and when I take them off, I can't see to do my own so I'm gonna have to get it done somewhere. You're definitely not alone on that one! I feel like I'm going to completely waste the opportunity... Yes, exactly. But we both have some time to think about it still (since your shows seem to be Oct/Nov and my APZ is end of Aug). :) I know what I want to say, but I know I'll end up like this lol yep, that's what I'm afraid of.

I guess that's not the right word since it makes it sound chaotic, but anyone is free to speak at any time and there is no order. You basically step forward or raise your hand, wait to be recognized, and then you can feel free to say what you want or ask any questions. Just make sure you're not taking up too much time in respect to anyone else who wants to ask questions. Really though, most of the time it's just her talking. You bring up a topic and she'll give you the most satisfying answer you could want. At one point during our discussion she was talking about her art and how important it all is to her and it was very genuine. Listening to her speak... it's like listening to the president. She's so wise. Like I said, do the Post It note and make sure they're topics you can go through quickly. Anything else, I'd say include in your letter. I told her that I was the winner of the Stache sound puzzle, gave her the sweater that I made for Asia (which she and her staff loved and laughed about), quickly discussed the TFM super deluxe that I had her sign, and then I told her a brief summary of how she's impacted my life, and that was about all the time I had. You also have to remember that they have to take the picture which takes a good 20 seconds or so. How many items are you planning on giving her? For us, they only let us bring in one item to give to her, the item for her to sign, and you could also give her a letter. You couldn't bring in any backpacks or other personal belongings; we set them on a table outside of the room. I brought in the Asia sweater, my letter, my TFM super deluxe, and a silver Sharpie (since the TFM is black on the cover). You might be okay bringing in multiple items to give her as long as they're not huge, but I'm just warning you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haus 152 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This is some good detailed information. Thanks for sharing. Sure :) I was really anxious and clueless going in so if I can help anyone prepare, I'm here. Hey what is the ARTPOP Zone Merch? I don't even know yet apparently it's the same as LMZ. You get a hardcover tour book, a bubble blowing gun, and a couple other things. Nothing too fancy, but the tour book is nice. They didn't have the merch ready at my show so now I'm patiently waiting to receive it in the mail... I think they said it can take up to 60 days :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 31 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Guys what do you think should I take with myself for signing? TFM super deluxe, BTW collectors ed. or ARTPOP vinyl? Just wondering Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanSummer 1,168 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I thought long what I should let her sign but decided that it will be something from University because everytime I'll have to study it would motivate me -do you think this is a good idea ?

You might be okay bringing in multiple items to give her as long as they're not huge, but I'm just warning you. Thank you for so much detail! Guess I'd better think of a couple of general questions I might like to ask in the group "free for all" then. :p Hmm well I mean I wasn't planning on giving anything huge, but something I made for her, something I made for Asia, a letter and a couple of friends were gonna give me small things to give to her and I was gonna put it in a nice little gift bag or something (so that's one thing....just with a few things inside it lmao). I mean they were really that pedantic about only giving her one thing? Why do they care? I think I'll take the little gift bag anyway and see what they say. It's not like it's gonna be backpack sized or something. At least I know what I want to get signed - or well it's down to two things - my BTW embroidery or my FM embroidery. Not sure which yet. And I know whichever it is will be signed with a purple sharpie. Ugh the photo - don't remind me. I hate having my photo taken and I am terrified it's gonna come out so bad. I have no idea how I want to pose. I might just cover my face with whatever I get signed tbh. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
