I picked up Tatjana and Yanna from the train station and then we all went to NDR2. There we met Carolin, Chris, Silke, Anja-Ines, Hans and also Christian and Sonja got there as well. So we were a small group.

Our information said that Anastacia should arrive at 14:15 pm at NRD2. Time flew and it got later and our hope of meeting her kind of faded. But at about 14:45 pm a black Mercedes and a silver van drove up. Wayne recognized us immediately, got out of the car and said that they will come back after the interview. So we all were like so happy and listened to the interview over my shower radio I took with me.

At about 15:45 pm the cars came back. Wayne and Ana got out of the car and said hello to everyone. Wayne gave directives for signing. Ana got some presents, like a cup with a photo of the meeting in Hannover from Chris. Wayne said that they definitely need a new cup! I gave her a bag with a big package of chocolate chrossies and spaetzle, so that she can try herself as a cheese-spaetzle-cook. 

Some of us brought things of the ebay auctions to let Ana sign them. She beckoned Shawn who still sat in the car. Shawn got out real quick and looked at the "old clothes".
Now the autographing session began, the ebay article were signed and also the other ones got their autographs. Shawn joined the autographing session too. She added that she really likes our fanclub tops.

Ana was very chatty and told us about her new tattoos.We were also allowed to have a look under her shirt and she explained us her neck tattoo. Then she showed us Wayne’s tattoo, in that we could find the initial letters of Anastacia and his kids. Wayne also asked the group if they would like the new song, the answer is pretty clear. Then we took a picture of our group, Anastacia thanked everybody with a handshake, said goodbye and drove away.

Those have been unforgettable moments again to have her in front of us that close!
