The Opening Remarks

I have been totally slacking - I was supposed to start this blog out three weeks and some how time slipped right on by. The Jen and Ash show is now in commencement and we are very excited. But now that dreaded time - What do I write about? And this has to be a great topic especially since it's the first posting. So i think it would be best if I start with our first encounter of stal...admiration.

One day, in the year of 2010, Jennifer and I were discussing ComicPalooza and how it would be fun to go because Jason Dorhing would be there. We quickly by tickets to the event. We had two tag-a-longs, my husband and Jennifer's brother. Poor men. Anyway, we embark on our journey.

You can imagine how two fan girls were. We loved Veronica Mars and Moonlight and Jason Dorhing was going to be there signing autographs. We hurried through the crowds of people to find where his table location would be. We found a spot on the ground and parked ourselves waiting. Francis Capra was the first to arrive. He was super nice. I got like ten photos with him. He signed our stuff and joked around. Absolutely delightful. And he smelled really good.

On a side note - met Peter Mayhew, he did not smell so good.

After hours of waiting, and I mean like actual hours. From eight am until three pm he finally arrived. I was a little irritated at us, we had been sitting there forever, yet some how we were not first in line. Come on girls, what were we thinking!!

When we start approaching him, we see he has his cell phone out. That's when we realize, he is snapping Cell phone photos of us! How Freaking Fantastic is that! - insert the dreamy sighing noise cause that's what I'm totally doing as I relive this moment-We walked up, he smiled nice and big to us. He asked us where was there a good place to get a steak. Thank god Jennifer was on the ball cause me, damn I was dense. I said "Texas Roadhouse." Now, who in their right mind tells JASON FREAKING DOHRING to go to Texas Roadhouse for steak!!!

One insane fan let me tell ya. I was so embarrassed! He asked us if we liked him in Veronica Mars and OF COURSE I gotta make an ass of myself then and say "No it was that other show, oh my god what was it, Jenn help me!!" "You mean, Moonlight?" "YES THAT'S IT!"

Idiot!!!! Me, not them. haha.

This was a great time, all in all. My first taste of admiration in person ... it got me hooked. Now, onto Hollywood ...
