That would quite possibly be the best birthday present EVER.

Are you planning to visit Austin during South by Southwest in March? I'll be there with most of my coworkers for the whole 11 days.

I haven't logged onto the boards in forever so apologies for the very delayed response! My friends and I are indeed in London at the moment and are seeing Muse both nights! Hopefully we'll somehow run into each other there!

Just saw the locked Hawaii thread you started. Yeah, when I went to go see Muse in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I talked to their media manager Tom Kirk (we were by the soundboard and he usually works there). I gave him a Hawaii flag, a lei and other local goodies for the band, told him I was from Hawaii, and he said, "Oh, we're going there soon." So we'll see if they announce a Honolulu date; hopefully he didn't mean for a vacation! Another batch of U.S. dates are set to be announced "soon." Hopefully they make a stop between North America and Australia, where they're rumored to play in November. Looks like there's a two-week gap between dates so it's possible. We'll see.

Good question! No idea, so thanks for adding me!

Hey Ana! Naw, we were gonna go to eat at IHOP but we couldn't find it so we went back to the hotel and slept since we had to wake up early the next morning for Vegas. It was great meeting you, too!

Hey! Good to see you on here!

The lei were made of wide, study ribbon that you'd use for wrapping Christmas presents. You fold each strip of ribbon a certain way to make each star. It was a pain to make each one but they came out looking nice!

Yeah, I was pretty starstruck/stunned, to say the least! I was so shy and speechless, my goodness haha. I seemed more pre-occupied than shy. Hope you get the chance to meet Muse someday!

Hey! My encounter with Matt was very brief. He was his hectic self, saying "thanks a lot, thanks a lot" real fast when I gave him the lei I made for him. All I said was "hi," "I made this lei for you" and "thank you" lol. Hopefully I'll get a second chance to have an actual conversation with him haha!

Welcome to the boards! Have you seen the thread you made in the New Users forum? Me and another Hawaii girl replied to it.

Hi! Thanks for the add! How you doing?

Belated birthday party in London!

I swear, every time I've told that story, someone's always like, "So, you 'lei'd' him, eh?" *nudge nudge wink wink* I was at a Christmas party for work exactly a week after Vegas, and I was telling the story of meeting him, and I kept using air quotes (with your fingers, you know?) every time I said I "lei'd" Matt Bellamy. And finally someone was like, "Stop with the air quotes! Just say it proudly: I gave him a quick lei (lay) and made him giggle!" Everyone laughed.

I totally didn't even think of the innuendo with the lei because I just wanted to make a gift for them that I could wear/have an easy time carrying around throughout the course of that day, and I wanted to make them something that said "Hawaii" to it. But the innuendo is funny!

Hey your birthday is two days after mine!

He was super nice, but the encounter was brief. You know how he laughs funny? He let out one of those after I "lei'd" him.

Shelby! I can't wait until we get to see Muse this year! And Wembley will be EPIC!

Hey Mel, ready for the weekend?

Hey there! Thanks for adding me as a friend! I'll be seeing you in Vegas... I'll be there in a week!

Hi! Welcome to the board!
