But I think you don’t know that I exist

FANS!
What would ABBA be without their fans? Or where would they be?
I am one. And I admit I am fan through and through. It's not exactly that "I eat, I sleep, I dream ABBA" but well, I like them a LOT.
Never met them though. Never did my best to meet them either. The closest I have been to ABBA, or at least Frida, was like 5 meter when she performed in Cologne with Jon Lord, October 2004.

With German fan in 1978, presenting them some trophy, not the Smurf but that other thing.

This is obviously Swedish fan Cecilia who won a meeting with them.

A. She gets an original ABBA necklace and, even better, B. Frida puts in on!
