For those of you interested in seeing a piece of Freddie history, I now own Dennis O'Regan's (offical photographer to Queen) photographer's case, which Freddie sat upon in 1986 outside of his Budapest apartment. Dennis captured the image on camera, of course. There are many photos and lots of footage of Freddie on the day that particular photograph was taken. I won the case and photograph from Dennis himself on eBay and have it on display in my home in Tryon, North Carolina. A picture of the case as well as a picture of Freddie on it can be seen at link
For those of you on dial-up or without high-speed internet, the page my take a while to view, as I have many pictures on the page. You can find the case pictures and my contact information at the bottom of the page, under the news and below the title ON EXHIBIT.
I just saw your pictures.
I'm a bit confused right now...
...because I have never met anyone who looks like me.
Yes, are faces are almost the same from the eyebrows downwards... at least on these two pictures.
How old are you?
p.s.#1
Now I can boast around with a pictures of "me" with Brian May and Roy Thomas Baker. :))
p.s.#2
But you could also boast around with pictures of "you" with famous New York rap group Public Enemy, if you want... :)))
XCESSQUEEN - I am 24 years old. Excited to hear that I have a twin in Croatia. And, yes, I would love to see your (my) picture with Public Enemy. Feel free to use my picture and say it's you. There's a more recent one of me on link

Never understood these "sister city" things. I think we're supposed to be the sister city to somewhere in Australia...why? Oh well, at least the zoo got some koalas out of it.
Hey, guys. I am all for a Queen tour road trip. I am planning on going to at least 2 US dates and possibly one in Europe, if I can find a decent price on eBay or otherwise.
STUSSY - I've read that it was his apartment both on Dennis' auction as well as somewhere else that I can't remember at all. I was thinking the same as you, as I couldn't find any mention of Budapest in Mercury & Me nor Freddie Mercury: An Intimate Memoir.
I guess he made the mistake, After so many places, it's not his fault.
If they come to the states I will go to see them, 2-4 dates around, I prefer places around Michigan, seeing the time frame they might come- early fall/winter it's a good guess these will all be indoor venues, I can think of 100's of places they can go, and if they do, we need to set something up our Eurolanders are doing with all these meet-ups
STUSSY - Completely agree. Ganging together for the tour would be much more cost effective than going at it alone. Most any given hotel offers a group rate. I have seen Jacky only occasionally have input in regards to US events, which is understandable, seeing as how she is based in the UK. That having been said, it would be almost entirely up to individuals seriously interested in attending Queen concerts in the US. I am willing to travel most anywhere, although I'd ideally prefer the eastern US - Michigan, even. I am hoping that the US tour dates are brought to light soon, and I think they will be. There seems to be more and more mention of such on Brian's soapbox, in interviews, etc. You and anyone interested, let's keep in touch.

If I had more money I would be glad to see Queen anywhere here in the USA, but due to limited resources I hope very much that they come to my geographic area.
I live in Baltimore County, Maryland, so anywhere in Maryland, Washington DC. Virginia, Deleware, Pennsylvania, would be cool!!!!
I'm game for meet ups/ road trips if they come here...(they BETTER!) ;-)
Back in the day..(the day being about 7 years or so ago) I probably would have been making wild, spur of the moment plans to go to Europe, but now that ain't an option.
However, if...no I'll say WHEN, they tour here, I plan to do my best to see lots of shows by whatever means necessary..:-)
