Beautiful. It was really nice to meet with Amy - finally! You know it was the first time, the only time I've really met this beautiful soul. And yeah, we had a very short chat only because we were both very busy that day. I met her with her family there, we chit-chatted and talked about life. And I saw her during my show there rocking, I was also there during their show. Yeah, very nice to meet, absolutely, and I would love to meet her once again. Very soon, I really hope to see her. I wish her all the best. She's a sweetheart.[1] |
