MEETING CRISS!!!
August 12, 2008Criss Angel has surprisingly soft hands!

I won the interview with Criss contest so I met him. This was the most exciting moment of my life!!! Talk about a dream come true!
I went down wiht a friend of mine, like my only friend who apprieciates Criss. We got into our hotel room at the Luxor around 3:00 so we got ourselves all purdy and decided to wander around until it was time to go to the interview. I didn't know what to expect so I was hoping my friend would be able to go with me but she couldn't. So I was left to brave this adventure on my own. They were only expecting 50 of us but somehow a couple hundred showed up so the whole process took much longer than any of Criss' crew expected. It was the most chaotic thing I've ever been a part of but it was so fun!
Somehow I ended up in the front of the line so I heard bits and pieces of the problems that were holding us up. One of these little problems was the fact that no one told the owner of the Luxor about this little gathering and that we were going into Criss Angel's new theatre which is still under construction. The owner about had a fit and almost said no, but whatever Criss wants, Criss gets-one perk of being rich and famous I guess. The other great thing about being in the front of the line I was first for everything. The first member of the public to set foot in the new theatre, the first to sign the release forms, the first to see Criss Angel. I'd made friends with this friendly grandpa looking security guard along the way so when we were all just around the corner from where Criss was he took a step back so I could inch up and see him-my first image of this man who I think is amazing is him running up and choking on of his crew members and them both laughing about it. Good times. Gad I love Criss!!!
Finally we were able to meet him. He is the sweetest guy ever. He made sure every child was interviewed and he wasn't above getting down on his knees to talk to them and calm their little nerves. He made sure every one of us was interviewed, even though that meant at the end we each could only say five or so words. He was so gracious and thanked us for taking time out of our lives and going out of our way to come to Vegas to help him turn this dream of his into a reality. He seems to be genuinely touched that we all came out to film these brief interviews. I know it could've all been an act but I don't think it was. I was impressed with him. It's good to know that your hero is a good guy. We weren't allowed to take any pictures, which sucked but I did get to touch Criss' hand-so that's better than any picture or autograph ever! Oh and he is beautiful! He's even better looking in person than on TV if that's even possible! lol And he smells sooo good! Haha! I just can't get over it-I SAW Criss Angel! Met him, talked to him!!! Gaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!
It wasn't what I was expecting, honestly I didn't know what to expect, but it was amazing. I'll never forget this exciting opportunity. This was one of those things you remember the rest of your life.
