I noticed people leaving, didn't realise that was you, I was in the dress with roses (as in the print was roses, not actual flowers stuck on lol) on. Anyway I can't remember what time you left but Marina came out at around 10 :50/55

i'm really scared i'm going to go outside at the end and stand by the wrong door and completely miss her i want a photo with her so bad!!

This was only the 2nd time I've met her but I know in general that it depends on the venue really! She doesn't say whether she's coming out or not, but Marina has every date this tour. Most mid-sized venues like Shepherd's Bush tend to have a fairly obvious 'stage door' bit which is where they normally come out.
The Tabernacle was a bit of an unusual case as she had to come out the same way as everyone else so we all queued around there, I think some of the other venues this tour have also been quite smallish, I think at one of the Scottish ones she ended up out the front. To be honest if you hang around somewhere you can usually work it out where there's a crowd gathering or be directed by security. If in doubt, follow someone who looks like a superfan who knows what they're doing hahaha. Oh & another thing, be prepared to wait around 40+ minutes.
Anyway meeting Marina again was absolutely lovely, I spoke to her a bit longer this time as I gave her some drawings as a present & she gave them a proper look. Also the gig was amazing, her voice is as good as ever and she has such great charisma! You won't be disappointed.
Anyway to show off here's the (blurry) photo I got
I did take some photos of the actual gig but they'll need editing & I cba as it's late.
EDIT: And how good was the music Marina chose for when you wait around in the venue?? Oops I Did It Again, Beauty School Dropout from Grease, Baby Love, Hey Baby, Hollywood (as in the Madonna song ahah) etc... I danced more to that than Meredith Sheldon
