He is BEYOND adorable! Love the beard stroking, too. Good to see him making people laugh, too, he seems to enjoy doing that. My favourite part was when he put his head in his hand and said, "What would I say to myself. GOD." Hahahaha ;D His accent is really thick here as well. So jealous of you ladies who attended! Thank you for recording this jenv (if it was you) and thank you MrsUzumaki for the link. Have a CB from me, too.  |

Yeaah it was my video. Sorry, am SO useless, still haven't managed to do anything about the Q&A-part... But it's worth waiting, I hope ;D Will try to include all the questions, cos they're all good or amusing in their own way  Someone mentioned probably having a heart attack when sitting so up and close. Well, truthfully, for the first five or more minutes I couldn't look at him at all. Before climbing on stage he stood there right next to us and all I did was stare at his shoes, cos I simply was unable to lift my head. When he eventually got on stage I still kept staring at those damn shoes (have them and his socks memorised in HD for life...) or at the interviewer. Even when he talked I still kept my eyes fixed on her  I'm fine with meeting total strangers, but I've always had issues looking at a person I either know a bit or like a lot, and boy did it hit me there... But after 5-10 mins or so, I managed to finally lift my head and put the camera on. sh*t how time flies. It's now been a week since we came home from Cork! Can't believe it. |

Cait THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CB! JenV I would feel EXACTLY the same way! I'M the one who would have a heart attack....actually realistically what would happen is that my heart would pump so much I'm pretty sure HE WILL HEAR IT as it tries to make its way out of my bloody chest! My face will go redder than a tomato! My mind will go blank and start either speaking random gibberish or a different language XD As for my breathing rate, it will either freeze or Hyperventilate ....only the encouter will tell...

My mind will go blank and start either speaking random gibberish or a different language XD As for my breathing rate, it will either freeze or Hyperventilate ....only the encouter will tell... Haha, oh dear, I so feel for you! I'm diagnosed with pretty severe ad/hd from since I was a wee kid (probably around 2 years or so). Living in the 80's in a small town with no proper psychiatric health care they treated me in all the wrong ways and therefore my adhd managed to affect my psyche a great deal, causing panic attacks, anxiety issues and such. Today am of course on meds, but I don't take them if there might be alcohol involved, cos THAT is one scary combination. Soo anyway, being the day of meeting Cillian for the first time, I was more than sure that I would drink SOMETHING just to settle my poor nerves, so no meds were allowed. And as the end result, I found myself babbling out of my mouth before the doors opened, practically climbing on Triskels rooftop and then just nearly passing out with panic when actually seeing him ;D Madness. |

Warning-- shameless ramble ahead: Y'know, I think I've just about got it figured out, the buzz I get from seeing him in person: Saturday night, as part of a belated Christmas present, a friend and I went to see the Minnesota Orchestra. Second-row seats in the first box of the first tier, where you can really see what the players are up to on stage (including the double contingent of clarinets, who, during the course of Mahler's Sixth, had to swap some three dozen times between their A and B-flat horns-- holy cats!). So about midway into the second movement (the kind of almost-shamelessly lush andante that Osmo & company simply kill these days-- I'd put them up against New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, anyone at all: they're that damned good), I look off into the middle distance between our seats and the chalk-white acoustics blocks halfway up the back of the stage and close my eyes, and boom! There's the buzz. Where I can feel my heart trip-skipping while I tell myself to control my breathing. (Sort of a kick itself, in keeping it together.) Where I feel a little like I'm flying while everything slows and comes into sharp, sharp focus. Where I feel like I used to feel sitting in the middle of an orchestra, where we were all part of the same entity, the same big machine, and part of the music we were making, too. Where I feel like I felt at contest, or playing one of the solos in Ravel's Bolero, or during the recital where I'd memorized the bassoon transcription of Bach's Second Suite for Unaccompanied Cello. That buzz. That's how I feel when I see Cillian in person. Last Thursday, in Christchurch, I reach out. My fingers are cold, but my palm is dry. He shakes my hand. His grip is solid; his skin is warm. Not quite rough, not quite soft. Our hands are almost exactly the same size. "Hiya," he says. "How yeh doin'?" Buzzed. That's how I'm doin'. (Y'know, come to think of it, if "buzz" is the byword, it would probably be a whole lot cheaper just to buy another bassoon. [Had to sell my old horn a couple years back, when money got tight.] Then again... ah, heck. At least this gives me an excuse to use vacation time, right...? ) |
