Meeting random Manics fans
Don't you love when you meet Manics fans?I was out tonight and mentioned the Manics while in a restaurant and some guy who was in our party asked me what I said regarding them. I told him I liked them and from then on we had a great conversation about their albums and songs. It really made my day, he knew all them and their albums so he was not just a casual fan and I asked him if he was a forum member of FD but he said he wasn't. Anyway, nothing important I know, but to me it was a real a highlight just meeting someone who lives in the same town and loves the Manics!

as I'm quite lonely in my Maniac Fandom, the meet-ups of Manic fans are always so happy! I finally feel that there's someone who understands me and doesn't look at me "...??!!!" if you know this kind of gaze
 I've never met anyone random who's a fan. several times I've met people who remembered the title of YLA so when the other girl could sing the chorus of Indian Summer I almost started crying  They should be MORE POPULAR!

I was dancing in this club not long ago with my friends and a huge bunch of RAF guys (I think...they were definitely military). My friend suddenly grabbed me, drunkenly pushed me into this guy screaming, "HE'S A MANICS FAN!" We start dancing and he's shouting over the music, "THE HOLY BIBLE IS THE BEST FUCKING ALBUM EVER!" and I'm like "I KNOW!!!" The conversation went like that for a good half an hour over this hardcore dance music. God, that was funny.

I've met a few fans randomly, mostly reasonably casual. What I don't get is when you're at a gig and you see one of the 'hardcore' - you know, rubbish makeup, tatty leopardskin clothes - looking a complete mess essentially - and they're not forum members. How the hell do they keep on top of news?

Met a couple who were really into them at a party couple of months ago. Made my day. They them put everything must go on. No one else took much notice but we were there singing every word. Fun times.

I didn't speak to him, but one day walking home a man was cleaning his car/hoovering the inside seats and he was listening to SATT!
So I stopped to listen. He probably didn't know I was a Manics fan and thought I was going to nick his car?I did move my head and tap my foot in the rhythm of Indian Summer if that helped? Sensing I was making him nervous I left around Autumnsong. And the only other random was me playing YLAINE in my bedroom and a couple who live round the corner (I think, I've never met them but seen them before...) walked past my house and looked at me in my room with a look of "Darling! He's taken our song? We can't sing it to each other now?" And there was someone who had Everything Must Go who used to live up the road until half his family was arrested/ evicted/ taken into care so I wouldn't fall over anyone who has happened to have heard the Manics, Deets!

PCP (which in itself, was VERY unexpected!) started playing in the nightclub I usually go to, and I saw some guys who really appreciated it. "The Holy Bible is the best album ever made!", were the first words they said to me. Then we discussed the new album (SATT at the time).

I never seem to meet manics fans until I started my new job at the same time as the JFPL tour was announced therefore one of my first jobs was to request the dates off. When i told people who i was going to see i was quite suprised that my expected reaction of 'who?' was actually replaced by 'wow, i love the manics, i saw them at T99 and they were amazing
it is possibly why i fit in quite well in my new job
