Dec 6th meet and Greet-Vegas
December 8, 2008
I'll let the other gals share their own experiences if they care to and not spoil their meeting Criss. But we get up there and Dana, Marissa, Pam go first before me. We are almost at the end of the line, its like 50-100 of us people in the meet and greet and I see everyone is standing to his left when taking the photo. Call me vain, but that's my bad side so I wanna stand on his other side! I am not nervous this time at all.
Its my turn and I go up and say "Can I stand on your other side? Thats my good side and I wanna create the Illusion I look decent" LOL Illusion..get it, ha ha trying to be witty but probably looking like a cheeseball!
He says "Of course but I am pretty sure you dont have a bad side" Sweet boy, sigh.
I take my pic..then I get to take another pic..so 2. Thats that--the end and then he starts to talk to us 4 gals as we are standing there.
He says "so how many of you have seen the Believe show?" Dana, Marissa and Pam say they havent seen it but they would be seeing it that night etc.
I say "I saw it Opening Gala night". Criss "Thats right. I met you that night right?" Me: "Nope. I have met you before but not that night." Criss: "You won a contest right? Did you go to the after party?" Me: Yes I won, and Yes I did go to the after party, which was awesome , thanks" Criss: "How was the food?" Me: "Unbelievable, amazing, I tried everything!" Criss: "I didnt get to eat a bite of anything." Me: "What? Thats terrible, why not? You didnt even get the memento chocolates in the red velvet boxes with the Gold 'Believe' stamped on them?" Criss: "What? No. I was so busy running around and had so many things to attend to and finally at 6am my manager ordered me a pizza." Me" That sucks man, sorry to hear that."
Then we had to leave the theater after chatting up Dimitra a bit, and he says "enjoy the show tonight ladies" and we all shout "Happy Birthday too Criss" and he says thanks.
It was all fun and nice.
Then the cool little part for me. We are all at the show sitting in the 5th row of the middle section, right hand side on the aisle. Pam's on the aisle and I am next to her 1 seat in. There's the part in the show where Criss comes out in the audience, talking to the audience the whole time and and does the safe prediction illusion out there etc. So he runs up one aisle row(the other far side of our section) then across the middle of the theater and down our aisle row back towards the stage and he is walking and talking and he stops at our row and sort of looks at our section and us as he is talking to the crowd the whole time.
I dont know what came over me but I just reached my arm/hand out to him and he stops talking, grabs my hand and squeezes it and says "Hi baby how are you?" in the middle of the show! Then he lets go and continues on with his little talking schpiel etc.
It was THRILLING! Anyhow despite that I enjoyed Believe more the 2nd time. We had killer seats again, 5th row, center section right side aisle and I caught so much more and its been tweaked since gala night. I caught a few different things. It gets better all the time I am sure.
Nice to meet you all : Daisy, Virginia, Debbie and nice to see you Regina, and of course my girls Pam and Dana. Lets do it again soon!
