Months ago, Els and Nathalie took the risk to book flights and a hotel for Munich... Took the risk, since it was all just a rumour. But luckily a few weeks ago, Howard's DJ set in Pacha was confirmed and a day later, Take That's appearance in the German show Wetten Dass as well. They were 2 happy little kids!
Only 2 days before they would leave for Munich, word got round about dates and hours of TT in the neighbourhood of Cologne and Frankfurt... During these performances at radiostations, Els and Nathalie were already in Munich, exploring...
At the Olympiahalle, they got someone to tell them were TT would arrive. They tried to figure out which 5-star hotel they would be staying at, without much luck...
On Friday, they went to the Olympiahalle again, to have another look and than to the airport. That's were they saw Anna and Judtih again, the girls they met in Amsterdam. Steffi and her boyfriend Alex were there as well. Together they waited for hours, hoping to see Take That arrive, without any luck... The question rose if maybe they flew privatly again? Which would have been a shame, since there were only 10 fans at the airport...
News from Berlin had arrived that Take That had taken a flight and had already arrived in Munich, so we gave up our wait and went back to searching their hotel... Not a simple assignment this time... We were all concentrating on the wrong hotel, when all of the sudden, Steffi called Nathalie saying that TT had arrived at the Wetten Dass studios, for rehearsals.
Stupid ZDF security send us ( again we were only 12 fans there) way and made sure we couldn't even see a glimpse of the lads. The only thins we were able to see, were the vans leaving. Nathalie could recognize Howard in the van though.
Only one car tried to follow the van and promised to let us know which hotel they would end up at. They didn't let us know, but no worries, we found out anyway (Thank you Steffi for waking us up!!) Els and Nathalie were already in bed, but woke up immediately and went straight to the hotelbar. On the way they met STeffi and Alex...
We arrived just in time to see Jason leave the bar. A few minutes later, Gary left as well. This already made our day!
Saturday we went back to the hotel really early, to find out that they were not fully booked that night... All of us booked a room and sat down in the lobby.
We had seen the schedule for the day, but could never read it well, only thing we could figure out is that the whole day, they would be doing interviews.
Alex was our spy for the weekend and he had a chat with some random Brit and with Mark. That way we got confirmation that they would spend another night at the hotel.
We saw them all passing a few times (never enough though), during that day and hat a great chat with a Jason's Bunny! She was really funny!
Wen they finally left to go to the show, we were all happy, since finally we could take a shower and rest a bit. We all met up again in the bar.
Nathalie was there the first, with two old friends and took a reserved table. The waiter told them they could stay untill 10pm, than they had to give up the table again. Nathalie had a feeling it was TT's table and so told everyone to be in the bar at 10pm the latest...
After the show, Gary and James came in to see if their table was free. They left immediately though. Than we had to leave the table. When Nathalie took the lift to go up to her room, she saw James and told him their table was free. He mumbled something about not needing a table, but only a few minutes later, they arrived again and sat down... at our table!!!!
Gary, Jason and Mark sat in the bar, with James and the Universal people. When Steffi went outside to smoke, Mark spoke to her and told them Howard would start DJing at 1 and that he unfortunately could not go to Pacha, since he had an early flight.
At 12.30 Steffi, Alex, the blond girl, Julia, Els and Nathalie left in a cab for Pacha. They met up again with Micha an Thomas and got in all 8 (only 4 were onthe guestlist)! What a great party!!! DJ Howard Donals is amazing, and Jason is an amazingly sexy animal!! You could tell Howard was really concentrated, but at the same time was really enjoying it... and so were we!
Jason first appeared in the VIP room, but it seemed that he couldn't really do his thing, since a girl was always putting her arms around him. He didn't seem to like it that much, neither did James! hahaha.
Jason than joined Howard in the DJ booth and danced away there. The view was amazing and the Belgian and German partypeople wished it would never end. Jason left after about one hour, while Howard finished his set. His last mix was the Greatest Day mix... EXCELLENT!!
A quick sprint to the taxi's and than just in time back at the hotel to see Howard arrive again. Nathalie was the only one standing outside when Howard got out of the cab, but frooze completely and didn't have the guts to ask him for a pic... Shame...
Finally we could go to bed for a real short night... At 7 Els and Nathalie got up again, went downstairs to check out and at that moment saw Mark leaving the hotel. He made their day by saying hello to them.
They than said goodbye to their new German friends and left for the airport. Hoping to still see Jason there since he was on the 11.20 flight. But no such luck, since they had a flight at 11 and were boarding by the time Jason only left the hotel.
It was an amzing 4 days filled with Take That, laughter, drinks and waiting. We didn't sleep a lot, but it was all wearth it!!!
Thank you all, for making this one of the greates weekends of all!
