MOST WONDERFUL THREE DAYS

I've just awoken after returning from London late last night, and I wanted to take a few minutes to just say thank you. I'd never been to any fan-events before and did not know what to expect flying in by myself, but I've had the most wonderful three days.
Myself and my fellow TwoPers had an amazing time, and we met a whole lot of great people to enrich our experience further.
In our group of four, 2 had won tickets to the premiere beforehand. So just imagine our shared joy when I got picked at the Q&A event at the HMV on tuesday (I was the one with the William question). There was a lot of squealing to be had from fully grown women.
I have seen the pilot on german TV when it aired in 1994. I was nine years old then. "The X-Files" was very important to me throughout my childhood and teenage years, and I slipped back in two years ago by purchasing the DVD boxes.
This new movie was an amazing gift, and the events in London gave me an opportunity to come "full circle" with "The X-Files" 14 years down the road (which does not mean I'm not holding out an insane amount of hope for a 2012 movie), and I cannot thank you enough for that.
I think I speak for all the lovely people that I've met on the London trip when I say that the Q&A, signing and of course the premiere were received with much joy and gratitude. "Joy to the World" is surprisingly touching when sung by a screening room stuffed with overjoyed fans, isn't it?
So, once again: Thank you. For giving us the oportunity to see the movie in the premiere cinema, for taking the time to come in and welcome us to the already amazing event, and for getting in close contact with us during the Q&A and signing.
