I met Chris Colfer!
Meeting Chris Colfer:
Leading up to the book signing, my hubby would tease me and say that I will freeze up and not talk to Chris. It is quite possible that would happen because I am super shy.On our way there, we made a bet on whether I would talk to Chris. If he won, I would have to watch a football game with him. If I won, he would take me to dinner & a “chick flick”.
We stand in a line around the bookstore and it takes about 30 minutes before we get to him inside. The lady asks for anyone with books to step forward and I do ( shakily I might add) and try to get my books out of the bag but I couldn’t so I hand it to her. She gives them to Chris and he smiles at me. This is our conversation as well as I can remember…
Chris: Hi!
Me: Hi!
*He starts signing books*
Me: This is my niece’s favorite book *touches TLOS*
Chris: Oh good, good.
Chris: Are you from here?
Hubby: No, we’re from Tallahassee. We got lost twice coming here.
*Chris and Alla laugh*
Chris ( After laugh): Goodness, twice! Thanks for coming all the way here.
Hubby: It was a pleasure meeting you.
*Shakes Chris’ hand then Chris shakes mine!*
Chris: Have a safe trip!
Hubby and I get down the stairs and I tell him he owes me a dinner and a movie! Haha! Chris was so sweet and lovely and he really does give you his full attention. Amazing guy and I am really proud to be a fan

Not the greatest shots from where I was standing, but I was too nervous to take any when I got closer. Chris was just as sweet this time as he was two years ago when I went to his signing. Except I wasn’t awkward this year, didn’t just shyly thank him. He asked how I was doing, and I said “Absolutely wonderful! How about you?” He said he was great, and when I told him I drove four hours to see him, he thanked me for being there. :-) I told him to have a great day, and he looked me straight in the eyes and said “You, too sweetie!” I just love how kind he is, and how sincere he is about loving his fans!

small write up about chris and how fucking amazing he makes every experience, no matter how stressful it is (mostly for my benefit, but feel free to read lol)
i haven’t slept in well over 24 hours (when do i ever when meeting chris, though?), but i really, really want to write this up before heading off to bed. today was beyond hectic— it was rushed, as it has to be, i’m always extremely nervous, and to make matters worse my extremely neurotic father decided today was the day to have a break down on me lmao (i couldn’t really say anything either since he did drive me here… but that’s a whole other pile of shit i can’t even get into right now)
so really, i needed to see chris today. it’s been a long time when i really needed that boost of strength to get through the day, and so i suppose maybe today wasn’t the worst day to start falling apart. seeing his eyes light up when he sees you, even for that fucking split second, is just so, so meaningful. i had his undivided attention, even if it was for only a few seconds. i got to tell him about how much i ADORED tlos3 (esp the ending!!!), and he seemed really happy that people finished it that quickly lol (even though god knows it takes him months and months to write). i wanted to say more, of course, but it goes by very quickly. i snapped a photograph or two, and before i ran out alla pointed out my tlos necklace, which was super cool. she is always SUCH a sweetie!!
it was a long 8 hour drive, it’ll be a long 8 hour drive back. it was stressful as fuck. i’m dirty, tired, and a little delirious if i’m being honest. was it worth it? every fucking second. i know a lot of people don’t have the money or means to go see him, and i totally understand that. but fuck, if you ever do get the chance, go see him. he is so amazing. i have no idea how lucky i was to find an idol quite like him, but is so, so extraordinary.
(to make matters more intense suddenly will is there!! talking!!! jesus, what a day, god, but a day well spent)

Alright, so this is the video my dad took of all of us. I wrote all my day in a post a small ways down my blog if you want to check it out. Or just click here. I don’t know if you can hear what we’re saying or not, but a shorter version of what is being said is in the post linked. If need be, just message me and I’ll add the conversations.
God, he was such as sweet pea and so nice to everyone, and the people at the store were so laid back; definitely better than the last one I went to. More successful, too! Yay!
((I just love his stutter when he’s processing that my friend traveled down to meet him on her mom’s birthday omg.))
(((The last like 20 seconds is my dad speaking so just don’t watch after the last girl laves, heh.)))

Re: The Land of Stories 3 : Book Tour 2014
A couple of fans bumped into Will at Starbucks were he was quite happy to chat with one of them.
Him and Chris have been together for a year and a half.
She was getting attacked by CrissColfer moron's on tumblr, and she was suicidal two years ago, and this has really upset her.
She only said Hi and talked about Chris and he continued the conversation asking her stuff just to be nice.
She never asked how long they have been together or if they are boyfriends, Will just told her how long they have been together.
And Will was in the audience at WWHL.

I asked Chris if Hollywood Game Night helped him prepare for playing charades with Jimmy Fallon, and he took a second to think about it before saying “No! You know what, I need to stop playing games because I get way too competitive when I don’t win!” so I told him that he carried the team between the two of them and he replied with “Thank you thank you, I agree”

Sunshine 2012 wrote:Just back from the book signing in Atlanta. From my perspective "The Little Shop of Stories" did a great job managing the event. I had purchased my ticket and book via phone. I was told to come at 7:30. I arrived around 6:45 picked up my ticket and book and crossed the street to a local restaurant. Since I did not have any 14 year olds in tow I had a tasty cocktail and chatted with the bar staff.
At 7:30 I crossed the street and walked to the front of the line. I was 127...do you think he signed 126 books in 30 minutes??
He is lovely to watch. When my turn came up I introduced myself and welcomed him to Atlanta. Then I told him my story. On July 17 2012 the Wishing Spell was released. That day my husband rolled back into the OR for a double lung transplant. Connor and Alex kept me company thru the long night of surgery and first few days in the ICU. When I told them the story he looked horrified. I quickly reassured him that my husband was doing well and that I considered him a member of Team Transplant. I gave him a koozie that we had given out at his one year survivor party.
Then since I heard he liked book reports I gave him several pictures of children I work with reading. I have a service dog in training and we work with first graders with reading disabilities. At the end of the year the year I received a book of thanks for the reading time. The pictures were with children reading with the dog. He had a huge smile and looked and read each one. Then he thanked me for what I did with children.
So sorry to hear about your husband, and I'm glad he's doing well now. An it's great what you do with the children.
So happy you had a good time meeting Chris.

Re: The Land of Stories 3 : Book Tour 2014
I think Chris loves these book tours because among other things, it lets him connect with fans. Fans pour out all these personal anecdotes when they meet him even in their brief encounters, and the one thing that comes across consistently is how they feel Chris is really listening to them.

For someone who seems to be going a mile a minute, Chris really does have an amazing amount of focus when you are talking to you. Both at the book signing last week, and when I asked him a question at the New Yorker Festival, I was amazed by how intently he focused on the conversations/questions. And on top of that, he is so appreciative--he doesn't say thanks because that's what he supposed to say--he says it with feeling because he means it.

@Sunshine2012, I'm glad your husband is doing well. And is nice you were able to share your story Chris,to tell him important is TLOS for you.
Re: The Land of Stories 3 : Book Tour 2014
I love doing this for everyone.
I am currently unemployed, so I am not as busy as everyone else is. But today I was doing my volunteer work.
Got a glimpse at what Chris was wearing for today's signing.
A black and white long sleeved shirt.
