The One With FriendsFest 2018, Glasgow
What a great way to spend a Friday - with an impromptu visit to Comedy Central's FriendsFest in Victoria Park, Glasgow. Daisy discovered Friend's while she was on study leave and it was amazing watching her get so excited over seeing it all for the first time..."Ross kissed Rachel!"
So first things first, Victoria Park, located in the Scotstoun area of Glasgow's West End, is actually a beautiful place for a wander if you have never been - we will definitely be back with a picnic and to feed the ducks. Here's my nutter pretending she's a cowgirl...
How cool is the FriendsFest wristband...
The festival has been incredible well thought out and organised, with timed tours starting every ten minutes around the 3 main apartment sets, not only ensuring that everyone gets the opportunity to see (and be photographed) with everything, but also ensuring everyone gets that all important photo opportunity with the empty set-up...here's a very excited Daisy waiting for her tour...
...and it's well worth the wee wait... on entry you are greeted with some awesome authentic props in display cases...
Phoebe's guitar...
The infamous dancing turkey (more of that later)...
And then look...it's Chandler & Joeys!!!!!! Could Daisy BE anymore excited!!!!
Foozball anyone? (although she was a little disappointed the table wasn't making chicken & duck noises!)
All that healthy food...
A very clever surprise in the freezer...
TV ready!
Do you think Joey is actually in there?
one last go in the canoe...
Before a quick walk through on of the worlds most famous hallways...
And in to Monica's...at this point it was all getting a little surreal as this is such a familiar place!!
Pondering...
Who's there...
Daisy can can see ugly naked guy from here...
And over the street to Ross' apartment - which is enormous in real life!
We found Ben...
Sneak attack!
Stealing Ross' dollars...
and on to Central Perk for a cuppa obviously...
Looks like Daisy has found her vocation...
The famous sofa...even comfier than it looks...
And now some of the real thing...Hot Chocolates all round...
Now she will kill me for this, but Daisy's singing is probably on a par with Phoebe's...
Well played Comedy Central - how cool are the marquee walls...can you spot your favourite Friends quote?
One for Daisy's French teacher...Daisy excels at "Joey French" and it was a bit of a running joke on the run up to her exams...oh, da fooooooof…
This makes Daisy say awwwww every time she hears it!
And her all time friends favourite...Unagi of course...
I also have to say the attention to detail with the food trucks was incredible - I will let the pictures speak for themselves...
And now - the moment you have all been waiting for...
PIVOT!!!! PIVOT!!!! PIVOT!!!!!
And no trip to New York would be complete without a seat in an authentic New York yellow cab...
Look at that face - she's loving every second...
So how about we recreate the opening titles...
Didn't I promise you more dancing turkey too...
Vegas Baby!!!!
Now who wants to catch the bouquet?
So Daisy, like Joey, absolutely does not share food and has used this line once or twice herself...
One more Unagi picture for goof measure because this happy face pretty much sums up our day at FreidnsFest!!!
Thanks Comedy Central for such a brilliant unique day...now all we need is a Gilmore Girls fest to make our lives complete ;-)
