I was well lucky, I queued for just over an hour and got to the barrier with my friends who had queued for 7 and a half hours.
I hope you weren't one of the crowd surfers who kicked me in the head hah.
I saw them in February as well. Only on the 1st though.
You're lucky you got to meet them!
My avatar pic is one I took there, actually.
And thanks Emily:]!
