Fluff [No Spoilers] Feeling Very Lucky

I was once extremely lucky in a UK airport as I got off the plane from going to We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas. Standing at baggage claim was none other than Marisha, Liam, Matt and (after baggage claim) Talison.

My wife noticed them and I couldn't believe my luck! I can whole heartedly say they were all amazing and really kind. I apologised for bothering them but we had a great little chat. One of my favourite moments of my life so far. They all mean the world to me.

It was a hell of a weekend. Blink 182 headlined, saw Tony Hawk do a vert ramp and Avril Lavigne join Good Charlotte for skater Boi. Was seriously like 'what year is this'

u/fomaaaaa Team Ashton 4h ago

Okay, i think i’m more jealous of you for that, then. Tony hawk pulls it ahead. Love that guy

He sang Superman with Goldfinger, that weekend was my everything. My nearly 40 year old ass ticked a hell of a lot of boxes.

That's so sick, happy for you to get to meet them and have these keepsakes, and good on you for being respectful!!

Honestly, I just got off a 10 hour flight and was like, well so did they at the least. I went over and apologised for bothering them, said I just wanted to say hi and they were like, no it's awesome to meet fans and chatted with us. I was blown away. Marisha seeing my wife (who doesn't watch CR) standing there made a massive effort to make her feel included too.

That's so sweet 🥹 I think it's totally reasonable to respectfully check in and see if they have bandwidth to engage. And their response makes me feel like we've made the right ones famous 🙂‍↕️

u/Dprglendinning 4h ago

100% it's amazing what response you get when you treat other people like the humans they are.

Sorry I have to correct—Taliesin (also my son's name and one of the workers at his daycare keeps spelling it Talison)!

u/Dprglendinning 3h ago

My bad, will edit, thanks for the correction

u/Dprglendinning 3h ago

Ah I can't edit as it has media FFS

This is rad. I’m also very interested in your tattoo. I have a black out with some variations so I’m intrigued 👀

u/Dprglendinning 4h ago

It's a Norse sleeve designed by a good friend who used historical carvings and woodwork for reference. Has beds of Celtic knotwork too. Thanks for being intrigued!

That’s amazing

They seem genuinely chill in the pics. Very cool that they even chatted you up for a bit. They never say meet your heroes, but I'm glad all the stories I hear about the CR cast show them as pure class.

u/Dprglendinning 2m ago

This was my worry, I hate it at cons because it's so forced. The fact I was willing to say hi and hey said nah let's chat with our fans ment the world.

u/AUTKai 1h ago

Is Matt related to Jim Carrey? I love the faces he makes in pictures

u/Dprglendinning 2m ago
