As we were waiting to board "Big Thunder Mountain," a train-roller coaster type ride, we were told we could sit anywhere in the train car except for the last two rows. At about the same time I noticed a Disneyland officials with an ear transmitter on who was looking around rather nervously, waiting for our train to arrive. I told Melinda someone special was probably on the ride and to watch to see who was going to get off. Lo and behold, Julian and bandmate Justin Clayton were the "someone special" with two friends, and they liked the ride so much they were going for a second time. And as luck would have it we were fortunate enough to be seated in front of them. There was no way we could enjoy the ride just as a ride when everytime I turned around there was Julian!
As we were leaving, I asked him if I could take a snap, which he happily let me do. I also told him what a great album "Valotte" was and wished him all the best. We later found out he was in the park to film segments on the 30th anniversary of Disneyland TV special broadcast in February. What a special day it turned out to be.
The blond one is Jules manager and the female is me, a swedish friend of Jules. During these days at Disneyland photographers chased us mistaking me for Appolonia... we had fun with that!
