Digsy: Congratulations get some good pictures, soooooo happy for you!!!!

 

[VintagePunk]

Congrats, Digsy!

Okay, any of you who have been to the studios, Wild gave me this webcam link last night:

http://www.abbeyroad.co.uk/virtual_visit/webcam/#

Where would people be waiting, in relation to what the webcam is showing?

 

[U2 Beginner]

^ Is that live?!

 

[VintagePunk]

So do people wait near there??

I keep seeing a group of people directly across from the crosswalk who keep going in and out of the shot...would that be them??

 

[U2 Beginner]

On the right hand side Right near the gates, it was open yesterday!

The camera needs to move back a bit to get where the crowd would stand.

 

[VintagePunk]

In the right-middle of the shot, beside the crosswalk? Or lower, where that white pillar appears to be?

 

[U2 Beginner]

In the right hand bottom corner.

May I ask if your trying to spot them?

Edit: OMG, I think something happened, I saw a girl taking a photo!

The camera's the wrong way! It needs to be facing the opposite way!

 

[VintagePunk]

Thanks! Yeah, I told her last night to wave to me, but I'm sure she has other things on her mind right now. I have her cell number somewhere, if I could find it, I'd call her...

 

[U2 Beginner]

You're welcome! I'm sure I saw you're friend yesterday!

 

[U2 Beginner]

Thanks! Yeah, I told her last night to wave to me

So that's what some people were waving at yesterday, the webcam!!!! Right?

 

[VintagePunk]

Sounds like you were right next to her, she mentioned Adam seeing the picture you drew.

I'm so happy for everyone who's getting to meet them, it's thrilling!

 

[U2 Beginner]

Yeah, that was me!!!! She's so cool, she moved along for me to get my Zoo TV DVD signed by Adam! to her!

^ Thanks!

 

[ruffian]

No Problem! If you look at the picture I took Wednesday, look at the bottom right of his right lens, you will see Dior!

 

[Galeongirl]

yea you're right! I was searching the frame for some brand, but couldn't find it! I didn't think of looking at the lenses!
