Somehow, I knew they would be the ones. :) [fan account]
Remember a few posts back, when I asked the questions: Who will spot Rain first in New York? Who’ll shoot the first footage? Will it be a fan cam? Well, one of those questions has been answered, and I’m not surprised at all about who did the deed: the most dedicated and tenacious NY Clouds around—YouTuber and fan-cammer favorites Scorpiola and Cuckoo. Wow.
They braved the elements, met Rain and his English tutor, walked with them to their car (Rain had no entourage, it seemed an acquaintance picked them up instead of a transportation company), and presented Rain with gifts. Rain took Scorpiola’s gift himself, and said thank you. The English tutor took Cuckoo’s gift for Rain and was nice when Cuckoo spoke to him. Both Clouds patiently saw the car off before finally retiring from the terrible cold of SnowMageddon, and were kind enough to post their fan accounts and pictures on » RainLegend before hitting the sack.
A HUGE thank you for giving Rain a warm welcome and sharing your experience, and congratulations, Cuckoo and Scorpiola. How many of us across the US can only dream of accomplishing what you two did last night?

I HAVE A FINAL THOUGHT ABOUT THIS TRIP. whatever the reason or it’s importance of this event. weather personal, career or nation related, i really hope Rain will think twice before agreeing to travel in this type of element pattern in the future. i think we were all quite worried and concerned for his safety. i hope he doesn’t put us through that again anytime soon.

I have to agree strongly with you about that. I would not have been NEARLY as obsessed if there had not been a blizzard. Rain flies everywhere all the time and I manage to live a normal life. 🙂
He may not have had a choice in this matter because he is an ambassador and all, but in the future I really hope Rain takes his safety into consideration a bit more. Not that I mind having him here, on the East coast, with us. Two and a half hours away from Atlanta by plane.

now that’s dedication for you. i guess these young ladies said, if Rain can travel in this kind of weather to the US, so can we, to greet him. makes me feel warm just knowing that someone here was there to greet him. i bet he was surprised.
