It was awhile ago, but i thought i would mention it anyway.
It was only a few months after the last GoodBye show happened and Col was MCing at the Carols Candle light for that year. Me and my family friends always go so it wasnt anything out of the ordinary. BUT i had no idea that Col was gonna be there! And so fresh after my sadness of not being able to go to the last show i was sitting there listing to my iPod oblivious to the world when i feel someone shaking my shoulders violently. I turn around to see my mother looking estatic, i remember going 'MUM what was that for?' and she just simply pointed toward the stage
(since we we're on the big hill looking toward it) and i heard as if on cue 'And our host for tonight 'Colin Lane!' 
It took me a few seconds to realize what happened but i remember my sister telling me that after she took at look at the stage she turned around to talk to me but she couldn't see me then when she looked down the hill she could see this small dot running crazily toward the stage ;D
I remember walking toward the stage thinking it was a dream and looking up at him on the stage, he was trying to get everyones attention. He was trying to split up everyone into groups-- 3 to he specific (like in the goodbye show!) and then when he had somehow gotten some structure that worked he tried to get us to the the clapping stuff that he had done in the good bye show too. And he did the whole 'group 3 you're my favorite' then the eyebrow thing! But the sadness of the situation was i could tell that no one was listening to him, they we're all talking and not even looking at him.
Then after a few attempts he stopped and welcomes the band to play a song. Then when he came down from the stage there were all these kids (12 and younger) running around and waiting behind the fence to the stage going 'Where's Woodley? Where's Frank?'
and i will never be able to get these words out of my head for the rest of my life but i know i heard this young boy yell out toward him, he looked about 10 or so 'Where's the funny one?' Me silent until now felt this huge angry, annoyance and sadness rip open inside me. So i yelled out without thinking 'Who are you to judge!' and the boy looked at me but i didn't say anything else so he ignored me.
All Col could say to all these yells was 'Oh Frank's not here at the moment, he's walking around Australia on his lips' i giggled to myself, but i could tell in his voice he seemed abit down. I remember thinking 'God, i don't have anything for him to sign!' cos all of these people we're crowding around to get his autograph. I was gobsmaked and not sure what to do but luckily this young girl next to me called him over and he came over to sign for her and answer a few questions.
When he came over i just didn't have any idea what to do, what questions to ask him or to ask him to sign my arm or what! But i realized that this was a moment to take advantage of so i was like 'stuff this I'm gonna have some fun' so as he stood there talking to her i slowly but gently reached out and stoked him head! BAAHA it was so soft, and long too and i was like 'geeze looweeze' so i reached out and started touching his head and temple. And the weird thing is that he didn't even turn around or anything, he just acted as if he got it all the time ya know? Then when the girl finally left he turned to me and looked at me, and i just didn't know what to say; i wanted to say something encouraging, something to let him know that i loved him even if everyone else wanted Frank but i also wanted to say something that would leave some sort of impact or make him remember me (at least for a little while!) so i said the first thing that came to my mind (because he was about to go on the stage again in a few seconds).
I put my head very close to his, looked him in the eye and said 'You're funnier then Woodley' he turned back at me and laughed maybe even kind of shocked by what i just said, took a swig from his drink bottle and said 'Thanks for that' and smiled. He looked back at me then was called back onto stage.
I stood there just looking up at him in wonder, i felt kind of bad because i just bagged Frank because i personally believe that they both have equal talent (and in general Frank had always been my 8th wonder of the world) But i felt good and glad that i got to say something in the spare of the moment.
I felt another tap on my shoulder and turned around almost expecting Frank Woodley to be going 'hey i heard that' or 'Look I'm here too!' but it was my sister smiling like a nut at me and when i asked why she told me that when i was touching Col's hair and face in a trace the security guard behind him was laughing his head off at me ;D
