Hi everyone I have two stories to share. One day Marit Larsen posted on her instagram a picture which we discovered later she was in Rio de Janeiro. I called two friends, one lives in Rio and other from a city next to mine in other state. So we discovered Marit was here in Brazil just because she would perform with a string quartet some songs. So I couldnt go to Rio and they went. They recorded a video for me: youtu.be/rrS32NBuKJs?si=JBht-Jt6tp6XVv64&t=36 She is was so cute in record that video for me. I was in heaven when I received it. And other story was in 2015. I was on a trip to Oslo to watch Katzenjammer (my other favourite band from Norway). Ps: I discovered Katzenjammer because of M2M heheh. So Marit just recorded her video I dont wanna talk about it and I went to crossroads she recorded the video. Here's my picture there. ![]() Attachments:

Remember the times when social media just didn't play such a huge role in our lives (or at least during the time when it didn't always rule our lives). It was a huge deal to be able to support your favourite artist and have friends who are willing to help. That's a great memory and I saw your video haha , that's awesome! That must have been a highlight. Thanks for sharing this memory. <3
Mine was just amazing but frustrating at the same time (but hilarious in a way). I would be surprised if I could find the video footage but I am 90% sure, it was in the M2M special edition VCD. I 'll have to dig up.
It was sometime December 2001, M2M was in Singapore to promote The Big Room, they held an open meet-and-greet session at this mall that does not even exist anymore today lmao.
I waited 10 hours in-line to get a chance only to have this stupid reporter's BUTT in my face the whole time. And I was so mad. He noticed I was mad. I was very obvious about it. He told me to have patience. I told him to shut up. Sigh. I know
he was just doing his job but I didn't wait 10 hours to take pictures of his butt. So eventually I got up, met Marit and Marion, got my album copy signed and gave them a drawing I made of them. They were super happy to see everyone and Marion even had eyes on the shoe store right next to where they were signing. XD She was interested but I think their manager said nope. Not a good time.
My drawing made it into the documentary for one second. Which was fine for me. Haha. It was proof that I was there.

I also have one. Back in 2005 (apparently, as I've read today) my family planned to go on a vacation to Norway in the summer. I heard the word "Norway" and of course thought about trying to meet Marit. I was chatting with MCK35 at the time and he had the same idea. He even came as far as to setting it up. We had planned it out, and I was so stoked! I was going to meet Marit! Unfortunately, my dad got sick and our vacation got cancelled. I was heartbroken. I remember MCK35 made a CD with some of his music on it, and also some of mine. He gave that to Marit when he had the meet and greet with her. So I want to take a moment here to thank you, MCK35, for doing that! Marit wrote me a note, saying: "Dear Anouk, Too bad you couldn't come. Good luck with your music! =) Smiles, Marit". MCK35 sent it back to me by mail (again: very grateful for that!) I framed that note and it is still on my wall to this day. It means a lot to me, it stands for how it started and it still inspires me to keep making music.  Fortunately I ended up meeting Marit in 2009, after all, at an intimate concert in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I asked her if she remembered her meet and greet with MCK35 and of course she did! I got a photo and she made sure everything I had with me was autographed, so it all came full circle in the end. Hope you liked this story. And hope you didn't mind me sharing this, MCK35. But again, it meant the world to me back then, it was really awesome that you did all that for someone you never even met in real life  |

I also have one. [...] Hope you liked this story. And hope you didn't mind me sharing this, MCK35. But again, it meant the world to me back then, it was really awesome that you did all that for someone you never even met in real life That's so cool! Thanks for sharing. Great piece of memory. I forgot some of the details, especially the number of people I sent an autograph after the trip. The whole "going to Norway" thing was completely chaotic in my mind. I know that in the year prior, I almost went with Job from the Netherlands and Yara from Brazil. So we had been onto this for a while, even planing to knock on every door in Lørenskog. Haha! But it didn't materialize that way. I remember we talked about the Rotterdam concert in 2009. That was the same year I met Marit again in a concert. Really a fantastic year to be an M2M fan after the breakup. |

I also forgot some of the details, but indeed that was initially the plan :') Good thing it didn't get to that, they probably would have called the police on us, haha! 2009 was indeed a great year. I don't think she got outside of Norway much after that, haha. |

I was travelling Europe with my then-boyfriend (now husband!) in 2006 and asked on the Marit’s message board if she would be playing any shows during the time we were planning on being in Norway. Marit private messaged me to let me know she would be playing at a festival in Tonsberg. I nearly died right there and then, I couldn’t believe it! We looked up tickets and they were way out of our backpackers budget, so I messaged her back and thanked her but said we wouldn’t be able to make it as we weren’t able to afford the tickets. Imagine my shock when she replied that she would put us on the guest list so we could attend for free. We were in Germany at the time of getting this news and ended up having to race through Sweden and Norway to get to Oslo a few days earlier than we had originally planned - it was like we were on The Amazing Race, it is one of my favourite memories. We were so nervous when we got there to figure out how to get in, but true to her word, we were on the guest list and I was able to see my favourite artist live. I never would have imagined it would ever happen, considering I live in Perth, Australia. My husband and I often talk about how generous it was of Marit to reach out and offer that to us, it was truly one of the highlights of our lives.

Taryn, that's insane. That's some story we really needed to hear after all these years. 🤣 I am 100% sure Marit still remembers this.
