I had never been to the Metro before but I knew that it was near Parliament House. I walked to the end of Buke Street and there it was. I was desperate to meet Shirley. I wrote her a letter that I wanted to give her. So I walked around the back of the Metro and had a look at the back entrances. I kept wakling down the back of the metro and had a look at the back entrances. I kept walking down the back road and stared walking up an ally towards Burke Street. It would have been about 10.15am by this time. When I was almost back on the Burke Street footpath this man in jeans, a white T-shirt and a baseball cap looked at me and smiled. IT WAS DUKE. "oh my god Duke", I said in shock. "Hello there garbage grrl" he replied. I could not believe my luck. He told me that he was just having breakfast. He signed my limited addition Beautiful Garbage booklet and a nice guy on the street took a picture of us together. I asked Duke if he would give Shirley a letter I wrote her and he was happy to. He told me that Shirley would think that it was so cute. I was so excited!! I then found an Internet Cafe and checked my e-mail. After that I went back tot he Metro and there where some garbage fans already starting to line up. (doors didn't open till 8pm and garbage didn't come on stage till 11pm). I sat down with the rest of the garbage fans we chatted and got free-bees off Nova FM a radio station in Melbourne that where broadcasting from the Metro. At about 4.30pm I walked down to the Supermarket down the road to use their toilets. When I got back Emma told me thtat I had missed Butch he just walked in. RRRrrrr. I was so mad. I wasn't goign to the toilet after that anymore! We were all on the look out for Shirl. We new she was coming at any moment now and I wanted a photo with her so bad. At about 6.00pm a white Tarago drove past it was Shirley. My friend Emily and I ran after it. It stoped at the trafic lights I was right up close and Shirley gave me a wave, blew me a kiss and pocked her tongue out. I went to take a photo and Shirley gave the camera the finger. The car drove off and I realised that I hadn't turned my camera on properly. Rrrr. Em and I ran after the car. We where running so fast just keeping up with the car. It pulled into a back ally and we where still running our little hearts out. The Tarago drove in behind the Metro and there were Security there and they closed a gate on us. So no photo with Shirley. The doors to the Metro opened late at about 8.15pm and when they did we all made our way quickly through the door had our ID checked and ticket taken then RAN as fast as we could to the front of the stage. It was dark so naturally I fell down not one but two sets of stairs. I really hurt my ankle but i didn't care I just kept on running. Machine Gun Fellatio where the support band and they where really good. They played for about 45 minutes. After most of them had taken their clothes off that is. Garbage came on stage at 11.00pm and they where fantastic!!! Shirley looked so amazing. It was the greatest show ever!!!! Shirley was so full of energy she was running around the stage like a mad woman. At one point she jumped down off the stage and came and shock hands with all of us in the front row. About half way through the set Shirlye took a little brake between songs. "So who went to the big day out yesterday?" she said, almost every one put their hand up and yelled out. Shirley then started walking over to one of the side amps and stood on it. This left her standing right above me. She looked down at me and to ME "so you Georges sweat little thing who did you see at the big day out". My whole body froze and she pointed the microphone at me. So I said " g  g garbage". Shirley laughed at me. "who else besides garbage". She was looking at me and you know what I said????? Well I didn't say a thing!!! That's right I couldn't get a word out. A guy behind me yelled out Peaches, which sort of saved me because Shirley must like Peaches because she was talking about her for a bit after that. I at this point was very steaming mad with myself for not saying anything. But I got over it quickly. Garbage left the stage at about 12.20am but the crowed was still going crazy and we made them come back and they played cup of coffee, which almost made me cry. Shirley Sung it so well. Shirley then sung a great version of parade after which she stoped, walked up and down the stage and said, "ok who wants to come up here and sing Only Happy when it rains with me?" The crowed went nutty. I was screaming "ME, ME, ME" and pointing to myself. Shirley stoped and stood right in front of me and was looking at me again. She pointed at me and said "ok you cute little thing you can come up here with me". I was like OMG, OMG then the next thing I knew a security guard was pulling me from the mosh and I was climbing onto the stage. Once I pulled myself up noto the stage Steve helped me up. Shirley had also called my friend Em up on stage and another girl that none of us knew. (not a true fan) I gave my camera to some friends who took photos for me. So there I was up on stage with Garbage singing OHWIR and every one was looking. I didn't even feel a little nervous. It was like it wasn't even real Then before I knew it, it was all over Shirley gave me a big hug and walked off the stage and Duke came over to me and said, " Hey em you did a really good job" I was all " Really thanks Duke".
