MY CONCERT IN MIAMI
By Benji
















It was my first time going to an Enrique Iglesias concert.  It was September 20, 2008, in Miami. The day of the concert I met the  L.A. Roamers,
Maria, Karla, Roberto,  Monica, Karen and Sonia for the first time.  All of them were so nice and sweet.
When I got to the American Airlines Arena, I also got the chance to meet Sole, Sandy, Sannie, Michele, Maria and Bridget who were also nice
and sweet.  It was great meeting everyone that I had met on MySpace and the USA EI Fan Club.  
I was sitting in row nine with my friend, Kristal.  Michele was right behind me and Sandy in row seven. During the concert I was invited by Enrique
to go up on stage.  He just came over to my side, pointed at me and before I knew it, I was sitting on a coach on stage with Maria, Monica and
Roberto.  It all happened so fast.  We didn’t talk very much, he just asked our names and where we were from.  He talked a lot about his
hometown of Miami and gave us all a shot of Vodka and we all toasted and drank it down. Man, it was strong stuff! Enrique than said he was
going to sing the first song he ever wrote.  He said he wrote it when he was going to school there in Miami in 1995 and he was fifteen years old.  
Then he started to sing Por Amarte.  The music started and he went over and sat on Marias’ lap and sang it.   When Robert, took over the stage
I thought it was funny.  I was still in shock so I didn’t react, we all just sang along with Enrique.  During one of the songs, Experiencia Religiosa,
he saw that I was trying to take a picture of him, he took my camera and he put his head down. I moved over to be in the picture with him and I
completely blocked Roberto out of the picture.  It was great being up there although I don’t remember most of it.  First time going to a concert
and getting picked to go up on stage with Enrique, now that is lucky!  
I not only got picked to go on stage, but thanks to Karen who gave me a pass, I also got to go backstage and take a picture with Enrique.  There
were a lot of people backstage it was crowded.  I didn’t see the Iglesias family or any of his friends, but I did see Anna. I didn’t get very close to
her.  All I noticed was that she was a very pretty gal.  When I took a picture with Enrique, he said thanks for coming up on stage with me.  
Ninety-nine percent of the pictures and video I took on stage were mostly of my fingers or the floor.   I was just too excited to know if I was taking
any good pictures or videos .
Thank you Karen!  It was a concert I will never forget.

LIVE AND COOKING
March 15, 2009
By Hildeke  


We left Belgium around 11:30 AM to go to Holland and we arrived at the Studio at 2 PM. We met with the other Dutch Insomniacs. It was so nice
to see everyone again.  The three from Belgium were Miriam, Daniëlle and, of course, me, Hildeke.   :o)

All of a sudden we saw a van and then the car with Enrique in it, which drove by the red carpet. So with a few others we ran over there. We saw
how Enrique left the car and went inside immediately. We had  time to talk to Fernando and wished him a very happy birthday. I told him that I
had a present for him and he promised that he would come to the red carpet too.  That was so sweet of him. Oh and he looked damn hot. I don't
know what he has done, but gee, he really looked sexy! Hi hi hi! Oh my! I'm cheating on Enrique huh? I know! LOL!

It was past 6 PM when Enrique finally came out of the studio and went on the red carpet. He went to the Dutch Insomniacs first. He took the time
to take pictures, to sign several things and to give kisses.   Roos handed him the book from the Dutch Insomniacs and he was sooooo happy
with it. I was able to give him my present too. Some Belgium chocolates, of course, what else huh?  I couldn't give him our fries cause they would
have been stone cold!  LOL! So I really got lucky that I could give him my present and have a picture taken with him too. I was very grateful for
that!  I’d had my moment.

Then Fernando came out and talked with some of the fans. I was able to give him my birthday present too. So I was a very happy girl.  We
thought 'that's it' when all of a sudden the guy who organized everything outside came and said that some fans could enter the show. That there
was a fan box especially created for us, the die-hard fans! LOL! I had been able to tell the guy that I came from Belgium along with Miriam and
Daniëlle.  And guess what?  Yep, he said you are the final three that can go in.

The show was nice. When Enrique came in lots of confetti fell down. They talked some and Enrique had to call a girl named Monique. After that
it was time to make something in the kitchen. We had much fun with it.

Then we saw how Van and the others entered the studio and we knew that it was time for the performance. So they introduced Gabriella who
came on stage and then Enrique also went on stage and they were ready to perform the song 'Takin’ Back My Love'! When we heard the first
note we just went cou cou! LOL!  We sang along, clapped our hands, waved with them, screamed and danced! Just everything a fan would do
when seeing their favorite artist on stage.

During intermissions and after the performance Enrique took the time to talk with all of us. That was so nice.  Since we were in the corner, I was
afraid for a moment that he wouldn't come to us, but he did. He  knelt down for us since he is so tall and we are so little. LOL! That was so sweet
of him to do that.

At a certain moment he was talking to someone and I held out my arm just to make him notice that we were standing there.   And he looked
straight into my eyes and he held my hand. I was like, huh? What is happening? That wasn't my intention.  LOL!  But I didn't mind it at all!  Duh!
LOL! Gosh, that was so cool.  I was in seventh heaven for sure!  LOL!  I got lost in his eyes.  They are magical when he looks at you while
holding your hand and being on his knees, oh my! Not a word comes out of your mouth anymore.  Hi hi hi!

Enrique took the time to listen to us, his Belgian fans that always have to follow him in Holland.  LOL! We were there with the same fans that
went to the Raymann is Laat show.  We were lucky to have met Fernando over there and we had been allowed to enter the show. When Enrique
went there in the car, after having my pictures taken with him, Miriam told him we had come all the way from Belgium. And we let Enrique know
that we were there again.  LOL!  It was nice talking to him.  You always hear that he's sweet and nice and takes the time to talk to fans. But when
you actually meet him and realize it is all true, then you really think that they were right. He is so down to earth.  For that alone you would have
to love this man.  LOL!
I also asked him if I could please have a kiss. And he said, “Sure!” Oh! So I got my first kiss from Enrique and what a kiss it was. Not just a very
quick one on the cheek. It seemed like it took for hours. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!   I just went crazy inside. My heart just went, boddom,
boddom, boddom, but really fast!  Hehehe!   At Raymann is Laat I got my first pictures and at Life & Cooking my first kiss and my first chat with
him.  At a certain time he asked for Fernando to come over cause he had to ask something. And so we chatted with the both of them. Two sweet
guys in front of our nose, what more can a lady ask for?  LOL!

Then I just had to ask my question! LOL!  I asked Enrique if I could ask him one question. And he said, “Yeah, sure .”  So I asked him if he  had
ever tasted our famous Belgian fries?  Hi, hi, hi!  You should have seen his face. He asked me, “Have I ever tasted what?”  I again said, “Our
famous Belgian fries!” LOL!  Then he said something about France, I think maybe because they use the words French fries in the USA, but then
he said that Belgian food was delicious. He said then, “And that was your question???”   Hehehe!  Yep! That was my question.  LOL!  I think he
finds me weird now, but I had to know. After ten years of waiting, I just had to ask that one question. LOL!

Well then he had to leave, but I managed to ask him if he would take some pictures outside with us?  He said no because it was cold outside and
he had to be very careful.  I could understand that completely since we had frozen off our butt earlier.  LOL!  And we didn't want him to get sick.  
That would be awful cause then he would have to cancel some shows or concerts and that wouldn't be fair to the other fans.

So thank you Enrique, thank you Fernando, thank you Life & Cooking, thank you Nicky from Endemol and a huge thank you to our selfs. Hi hi hi!

A Fan Experience
Meeting Enrique

By Hildke












Ingmar and I arrived at Rotterdam. Some other girls were already there (Daniëlle, Sofie, Amany, Wietske, Roos, Mina, Daniëlle (smile4ever), …).
All of a sudden some girls got a ticket. So we went searching for some too. We asked different people for some ticket but we didn’t get one. Then
again some other got also tickets. We went crazy since we still had none. And we tried it soooooo hard. But the answer was still no. In the mean
while Miriam and Davy (her husband) joined us as well. So we went searching for the other girls. Once we found them they stood in the front-line
to get into the show. So all the girls from Holland with whome we were there, had all tickets. And we the Belgian girls that came from so far didn’t
had some. That really sucked.

So Miriam said let’s go outside and wait by his car and then we will see Enrique over there. Great plan. All of a sudden we were in an area where
we could go upstairs. So we did and went into a kind of restaurant. Enrique was doing his sound checking and from up there we could see him.
But we had to go ‘away’ (hi hi hi !) because it was a restaurant for the VIPs and artists. Hi hi hi ! So there we stood again in that hallway and went
downstairs. Now there was a door which was for staff only. Right ! LOL ! So I went to that door and opened it (hey, it said that we couldn’t enter
not that we weren’t allowed to open the door. LOL !) and I saw Fernando. I yelled his name and he came over.

I said hi and told him I was Hildeke from Belgium. Well we ended up having a nice conversation with him about different things. He’s such a nice
guy. So sweet ! I really liked talking with him. He’s so down to earth. Well Enrique will come back to Europe in April/May or May/June (I can’t
remember). What was so nice of Fernando (he knew we didn’t had tickets) was that he arranged something for us so we could follow the entire
show inside. Isn’t that incredible sweet of him ?

Well the show was amazing. We laughed sooooooo much. Enrique was super and ‘tante Es’ too. Awesome ! They had such a good time together
and made us really laugh. They talked about ‘Pussy’ a lot. Hehehe ! After the interview Enrique performed on stage with Sean and sang Away.
Gosh, that was soooooo good. He even came into the audience. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh ! Hi hi hi !

Oh and Enrique waved at me two times. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh ! Hi hi hi ! Ingmar saw it too. Before the show started (and we were already
inside) there was a little message that Enrique spoke in before the camera’s. But it was behind the scene. We could see him from where we stood.
And when it was taped he looked up and I waved and he waved back. Oh my tummy ! Lots of butterflies. Hi hi hi ! And then when he was on stage
ready to perform he looked our way and I waved again and he waved back too. Oh my ! LOL ! It gives yourself such a good feeling inside. It really
does. I saw Fernando too and gave him a big thumps up. He saw it and did the same. Miriam was able to tell him Thank you as well.

When the show was over we went outside to wait for Enrique at his ‘Van’. But it was sooooooooooooooo cold. Oh my ! We were so frozen when
Enrique finally came trough. I stood at the door where he had to get in (clever me. Hi hi hi !) and when Enrique was there I pulled at his arm (but
very nicely) and told him that I never had the chance to have a picture with him and he said ‘ok ok’ and turned around. He put his hand around my
shoulder and then the pictures were taken. I felt like such a lucky lady. The weird thing is that I can’t remember it at all. I don’t even know I touched
his hand or who was in front of me. LOL !

I do know that Fernando was aside me and I said thanks again to him. Then he turned around to get into the car. Miriam was able to gave her
present to him. He was so nicely surprised and was very happy with it. She told him too that we came all the way from Belgium to see him. And you
could tell he really liked that. He was like really ? Gosh, I won’t ever forget those eyes and that smile when he said that.

So that was my story. Well after almost ten long years I finally met Enrique and had the chance to have a picture with him. For once in my life I
finally had luck. So please never loose faith and hope. Just like I did. I knew my day would come and it came. The best birthday present I could
ever have. So keep having faith everyone and hope. You’re day will come ! For sure !

Thanks Fernando and thanks Enrique for the most incredible night of my life !

Love,

Hildeke !
