| Aurélio's head. He's the lucky guy who had his wedding photo signed by Mr. Morrissey himself... |

|
| My boyfriend - Rui - and Aurélio. The poster behind them was "stolen" by three Spanish guys. They were very nice though. One of them even shared with us the piece of the Morrissey t-shirt he managed to get. His name was Luis. |

| My boyfriend's arm after crossing the four meter gap
between the stage and the audience. It was worth it though. By the way, Right at the first song, Morrissey made his first lyric change in Oporto, regarding that distance... "And here I am / and here I am / well, you needn't be so far away..." Beautiful. |

|
| This is the lucky threesome. Aurélio and Rui (for the obvious reasons!) and Sandra who actually met Morrissey in Lisbon the day before the shows. I posted the info at the time. It's under "It's Official, Moz is in Lisbon"... or something like that... |

|
| The famous wedding photo. The cake read: "You are just like me and your life has not even begun. Moz"... Lovely. |

|
| The first to get to the venue. (I woke up at 04:00 a.m. - had to catch the train from Lisbon to Oporto...) The two guys in the top corners are Spanish, as well as the one taking the photo. |

| After the soundcheck, the band came out through the front door. I think they were going to get something to eat. Everything was awfully quick and I only managed to capture Spike's strange sense of humour, Gary's tranquility and Alain's rain of autographs in the back. Boz was at my side, I think... |
