Hello!
So on the 27th of November i met the wonderful Zoe Sugg in Manchester for her debut novel Girl Online book signing!
I have to say it was the most organised YouTuber event sort of thing i've ever been to so far, i haven't really been to many but it started at 5, like she started meeting people at 5, and i had met her by half 5 which i was not expecting! It all seemed to go so quickly and smoothly, no one was pushing and everything was ordered.
I got the train to Liverpool which only takes about 10 minutes, then a 40 minute train to Manchester. But that's when it got confusing, so that there wasn't a huge crowd of people without tickets we were only told the venue 2 days before via email. When i got the email i had no idea where this place was, it seemed to be in the middle of nowhere! Which is good i guess because no one would think she would be there. We had to get 2 trams and then walk for 10 minutes to finally get to the place. It was a really posh sort of function building suite thing. We even walked on a red carpet while we were going in to collect our books and wristbands. We were just about to go upstairs but we were stopped because they thought it was full upstairs, so we waited downstairs for about 10 minutes then they let some more up. It was a huge room split into two with curtains. We were waiting on the other side of the curtain and then Zoe arrived. Everyone could see her in that room! We got let into the second room where she was and it was all going so quickly. Because you weren't allowed any photos when you were up there everyone tried to take selfies and photos of her, as many as you could until you got up there. The line was literally constantly moving!
I found it quite unfair that if you had a parent with you they got a different coloured wristband and could take photos from the side while you were up on stage with Zoe :( I really wanted a photo but couldn't get on with her. But i did record the whole thing!
I was panicking loads as i was getting closer and i went first out of me and my friend. I went up to her and she said Hi! and i gave her the Zoe fan book me and my friend had made with loads of messages in. She said it was really cool and i asked her when she was getting Nala and she told me Saturday and then i said thank you for everything, and she said thank you for coming bye! It was all so fast but i did burst into tears just a little bit once i'd left. I got the whole thing on voice record so i remembered what i said! It was all so crazy and i can't believe i met her!
Have a fabulous morning/afternoon/evening/night!
lots of love
