Heathermione's report on meeting Chris:
x
xThat time I met Chris Colfer
I’ve already posted most of this between my twitter and blog but here’s my story about meeting Chris all in one place for people who asked:
So, I got to Blue Willow around 1:20 or so because traffic was awful and I wasn’t really anxious to spend a lot of time sitting outside in the cold rain. The shop is really tiny so they were only letting maybe 20 people in at a time.
I pre-ordered my tickets and so I went to the will call table outside the store and picked up my books. I was in the first group so I had like 30 minutes to kill before it started and I went to a coffee shop a couple of doors down to get tea and wifi.
My friend met me there around then and I called PanButNotPeter on my phone. Chris tweeted the book title photo and Pan told me about it, so you guys definitely knew the title before most of us at the “big announcement” lol.
They called the first color group and we were the last ones in. Chris was just coming down from signing the wall so it was a good start. I took a pic of the crowd and the security guard yelled at me so I put the camera and phone (and Pan, who was still on) in my bag.
It went really fast and it seemed like maybe a second passed and then there was Chris looking at me waiting for me to say something. And like, when people go to these things and they say pictures don’t do him justice, they mean it. Like, he is so animated in person, he’s just really alert and engaging and his eyes just sparkle and for a second I wasn’t sure if I could actually speak but then I pulled it together.
"Oh wow, you’re a real boy!" Smooooth, Heather. Luckily everyone laughed and then I handed Chris the bag with the scarf and said, "I made you a scarf," and he said "Oh thank you, Honey" or something and then pulled it out and said, "OH! It’s GORGEOUS! I LOVE IT! Thank you so much, sweetheart!!" and then said something about the weather and needing a scarf and then he asked if he got to keep the bag too and I said something like "Of course you can!" and he said something about blue and I said something obvious like, "I know it’s your favorite." but I was thinking the scarf (which was similar in color to the bag) matched his eyes so well and I’m not sure if I said it out loud but I don’t think I did.
And someone had sent me a message earlier that morning to remind me to shake his hand so that was pretty much the only planned thing I remembered to do and his hand’s so soft but he still had the pen there so it was kind of an awkward shake but lol it’s Chris so it seemed really fitting. And I think I thanked him again and mumbled some nonsense or something and then got my book and went to leave.
Then I turned and said, “Alla?” and I really don’t think she was expecting that at all and I shook her hand and told her I wanted to thank her for everything she does to get Chris out there in front of his fans, all the interviews and photoshoots and events. I told her I was with ChrisColferNews, and Chris stopped what he was doing at the table next to us and asked if I was the person who ran ChrisColferNews and I said I was one of them and he said, “You guys are great!” and I died but there was more talking and I’m not entirely sure what happened here honestly because I was super overwhelmed but then Alla asked how many of us there were (because she met Chrispy in New Jersey and has talked to Pochi via email before) and I said it took four of us to track down all the stuff he does that she sets up and both of them laughed. And then she told me she loves the site and goes there and that we have everything and she sometimes uses our calendar if she needs to look up a date for one of his events. I told her thanks and said she should let us know if there was ever anything we could do to help them. (like ihni what that would be but whatever, we’re yours!)
And then I went to the photo area and my friend handed me my camera (And she managed to get photos of both me meeting Chris and shaking his hand!!) and I stood in the little area and took pictures of Chris while I was in kind of a daze and like I could hear him talking to people and it was really surreal because it was like watching a video but he was right there and idk. Anyway then I asked this guy with a professional camera about the photos he was taking and if they’d be available online (lol gotta get that scoop) and he told me the details and then I took a few more pictures (I swear this felt like hours but I legit took like 7 pics so I have no idea what happened to time and how it works here obviously Chris throws that shit outta whack.)
Then I wandered out of the store and I’m still not over it.

Re: The Land of Stories 2 : Book Tour 2013
MEETING CHRIS TAKE #2 UNDER THE CUT
i’ll make this short because i know no one likes reading the long rambly ones (important things are bolded) they just wanna know about chris lol. we got to the store about an hour and half early just because (we came from new orleans) and everything was pretty nice. the bookstore was really tiny though, lol.
as we were waiting in the car for a bit ALLA WALKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY CAR. no one else seemed to know or care who she was but i was freaking out because ALLA UHM. so that’s when i started to realize this was seriously happening again.
fast-forward a little bit. most of the staff there was seriously sweet, but i did have some problems with them. i’m sure it was just because not everything was planned out so i don’t blame them 100%, but one of the ladies was extremely rude. i’ll get to that later. chris tweeted the title of the third book while we were waiting in line (chRIS I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA DO THAT LIKE AT THE EVENT NOT WHILE WE WERE WAITING IDK DUMMY) and everyone was getting really pumped. then it was our group’s turn to go in and i started to panic. i had been sick all day with nerves and felt like i was going to vomit, but luckily i didn’t.
chris is… so very real. it’s still just as jarring as the first time. his face and hands and body look so solid and he’s pale and gorgeous and beautiful. he was an angel the entire time and took quite a few minutes out to answer my friend’s question (what’s your favorite monster? the answer is griffins, the kraken, and, as he finally settled for, the loch ness monster) and then it was my turn. i sorta awkwardly had my hand out because i knew i was going to forget, but i kinda now wish that i had asked but he didn’t seem to mind at all and shook mine and was like “hey how are you??” and i honestly don’t know if i answered lol! i sorta dove into my question because i figured if i didn’t i wasn’t going to get it out and so i asked if he was still planning on coming to louisiana to film his asylum movie and he said that he was most likely going to turn that into a play, but maybe not for a long time. one day we’ll see more of it hopefully heh! then i thanked him a lot and as i was about to walk away alla stopped me and was like “oh, do you have the first book cover on your neck???” because i had a necklace of the tlos1 book cover. and i was like, “yeah!! i also have a llama and lightning bolt earrings!” because i’m dumb, but then chris, the cutie, was like “you’re all me’d out!!” and i basically died right there and quickly dashed off and alla was like “wait your book!!!!!” and so i died from embarrassment and was like “omg yes that would be a good thing to not forget yes” and chris kinda laughed and was like “yeah!!” and was smiling the whole time and i just. okay. dead.
then i went to the place where you take the pictures and snapped a few while my friend took video and then we went outside where we waited around for a bit. this is where things got stressful, so if you’re interested at all about the rude lady i guess i’ll explain. basically, we were just waiting there and i’m pretty sure all the color groups had already gone in yet more people were still going inside?? my dad asked the owner about it and was like “can we buy another book and go through again if we wanted?” and she was like “oh yeah!! sure!! chris is signing the copies being sent out right now but then more people are going to go in another!!” and seemed really cool about it and made it like it would be no problem and a bunch of other people were already waiting in line again.
i thought about it. chris would probably remember me and that might be a little embarrassing but i had driven 6 hours to get here and really wanted to get a signed copy for my girlfriend (avril), and so i was just gonna say that. i had already had an extra (still figuring if i want to do a giveaway lol!) but i thought it would be really cool to see him sign it for her. so i was like, what the hell why not??? so i waited again with all the other people and when we went inside the lady at counter was like “what? you want to through AGAIN and have the same experience twice and pay all that money??” and i was like “YEAHh?? like if it’s a problem at ALL i don’t want to hold chris up and like yeah but the lady made it sound like he’s signing a lot more??” so i got kinda confused and didn’t want to do it anymore. the owner made it sound like he was going to be doing this for a while longer and that tons of others (which there were) were going through again. but the lady was like “NO just go go right now” and she liked literally pushed us through the line towards chris and i was so embarrassed and mortified because chris recognized me again and he REALLLY sweet about it and i told him i was getting it for my girlfriend and he was like “oh that’s fine!! awesome!!” or something and then i went back around. but i couldn’t believe it! yes i had met chris twice and he was totally cool with it, but i felt horrible. the lady came back outside afterwards and snapped at me that this was why she didn’t want us to go through twice when these other girls that had been waiting to go through twice came in. a whole other group went in twice before us, and just ugh. i really really REALLY wish the owner hadn’t told us people were going through again and it was perfectly fine when it kinda looked like it wasn’t! it made me look really bad and i still feel really shitty about it but sighs. there’s nothing i can do and chris looked fine but still. i should’ve just walked off and known better lol.
but other than the experience was AMAZING. chris made it AMAZING okay? he made everyone feel really, really special and i got to ask him a pretty important question and (despite the whole thing) get a signed copy for avril that i SAW him sign so yeah. AMAZING. 10/10 and stuff.

Re: The Land of Stories 2 : Book Tour 2013
Today I met Chris Colfer.
I have been waiting since 2009 to be able to say that.
Full, long-winding and utterly ecstatic-feeling story under the cut.
After waiting outside (in the car and on pavement) for about 9 hours, getting our books, having the World’s Best Saturday (trademark pending, because seriously, it was that awesome), today was the day that I met Chris Colfer at The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns book signing in Orlando.
We got in line, we talked with a girl in front of us (who was older, but super cool) and tried very, very hard not to freak out. The people behind us were, however, very young and immature and had a pension for talking loudly about stuff and made us 0.o
When Chris walked out, there was a relative freak out. From where I was standing, there was a little bit of space where I could literally see him sit down perfectly.
And he saw me. I must have been staring a bit, because he looked right at me and waved. After a second of my brain going into action, I grinned like a goofball and waved back yelling “HI!”
The entire time as I got closer to the front, I could feel my face just beaming. I could literally feel my smile.
A rough transcription of the encounter (as much as I can remember):
Me: Hi Chris!
Chris: Hey! How are you? *signs book*
Me: Good (I think I said that?)
Chris: Good, good… *signs smiley*
Me: (and this is what I’m pretty sure I said) I just wanted to say thank you for coming to Florida and I’ve been wanting to meet you for a really long time…
Chris: (and here’s the kicker) *kinda puts down pen and looks right up at me, big time eye connection people* Well thank you for voting for me to come here! (probably continued talking but I was fdsgsgsogh at that point)
Me: (something along the lines of) Yeah, sure anytime! Bye!
I walked off, kinda shaking, not really able to process much. Because OH MY GOD.
There was a bit of picture confusion, so Rachel ended up being the only person who got a picture of her back with him, but I managed to get a few pictures of him before leaving. But EYE CONTACT AND CONVERSATION, PEOPLE. I can’t even.
Honestly, it was all over so fast and I was a bit flustered, but I wouldn’t change it.
I am still smiling. Whatever god or deity decided to make this weekend one of the best ones literally ever, thank you. I…am running out of words to try and make sense of it with.
And I’m glad we as an OT3 were able to experience it together. It’s kinda part of how we all became such good friends in the first place.
I’m gonna go attempt to process this now. Till next time!

AHHH. ok omg I told chris I was jealous because brian lets him dress him up and stuff and he’s like “Brian is such a poser” WE TALKED SO LONG.

He said he liked the bell because he would know where he was. HE’S SUCH AN ANGEL OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NEWS TO NO ONE

Re: The Land of Stories 2 : Book Tour 2013
okay here is my post about meeting/getting to speak to chris in orlando not once but twice!!! super exciting day!!!
so the first time i went through the line i was #84 and i actually managed to get that on video (you can’t see his face because the camera was hanging from my neck and pointing down but you can see like his upper body and the audio is perfect, you can here both me and him talking)
here’s a my conversation with him from the video transcribed:
him: how are you?
me: i’m excited to be here!
him: oh good, good!
me: i have something for you that i made:
him: oh what is that — oh thank you! ooooh awesome, it’s the eyes! amazing!
me: i was gonna make one for alla too and your boyfriend but i ran out of string
him: oh well that’s alright, thank you! i’ll get to keep this one, neener neener! thank you so much!
me: thank you too!
(also fun fact: when she was like “that’s off right?” i was like “uh… yes” because i’m a rebel and wanted my conversation with chris recorded)
you can’t see his face through most of it but he was smiling SO big when i gave him the bracelet, it was so cute
and this is a picture of what i gave him:
and after i got my book signed i stood behind a barricade thingy they had set up in front of the signing table a few feet away and took lots of pictures
and then after i left i went outside i got pictures with the big grimm warning sign they had set up
after a while had passed the line was getting shorter and i asked one of the employees if i could buy another ticket and go through the line again and have another book signed (and this was mostly because i hadn’t said everything i wanted to say to him since i had so little time and because the first pictures i took the first time were dark since i didn’t use flash)
and she said i could so i went back inside and bought another book and ticket. this time it was #380 and it was one of the last 2 tickets they sold (no one else was coming in for the signing but me and one other guy had bought another ticket to go through the line again so i was basically the last person chris signed for)
so i went through the line again but i didn’t take a video this time because i just didn’t have time to set up my camera, so i got to the table and basically this is what happened (not word for word but this is what i remember):
me: hey!
chris: oh hey!:
me: i wanted to pass through the line again because i forgot to tell you something earlier. you’re a really big inspiration for me because i wanna be an author someday, so — yeah
chris: oh, wow! send me a copy of your first book!
me: okay! thank you!
i think there was a little more to the conversation but i honestly don’t remember it all, i wish i had recorded it
and i basically melted into a puddle on the floor after that tbh, then i went back behind the barricade and took these photos which were much better
also just before i got my second book signed, a little girl went in front of me and it was probably the CUTEST thing i’ve ever seen. chris looked so excited to see her and he leaned across the table and was smiling and was like “what’s your name?” she looked so shy it was ADORABLE if you ever get the chance to see chris interact with children firsthand your heart will probably melt

so i went through the line again but i didn’t take a video this time because i just didn’t have time to set up my camera, so i got to the table and basically this is what happened (not word for word but this is what i remember):
me: hey!
chris: oh hey!:
me: i wanted to pass through the line again because i forgot to tell you something earlier. you’re a really big inspiration for me because i wanna be an author someday, so — yeah
chris: oh, wow! send me a copy of your first book!
me: okay! thank you!
i think there was a little more to the conversation but i honestly don’t remember it all, i wish i had recorded it
and i basically melted into a puddle on the floor after that tbh, then i went back behind the barricade and took these photos which were much better
also just before i got my second book signed, a little girl went in front of me and it was probably the CUTEST thing i’ve ever seen. chris looked so excited to see her and he leaned across the table and was smiling and was like “what’s your name?” she looked so shy it was ADORABLE if you ever get the chance to see chris interact with children firsthand your heart will probably melt

Re: The Land of Stories 2 : Book Tour 2013
So uhm, uh, this is going to be very jumbled and rushed and long because I’m still so frickin’ excited and I’m not good at explaining stuff, so I’m just going to reaccount my day of the signing.
So we got there at like 11 and me and my friends just walked around for a bit, saw the table Chris was going to be signing at and flopped all over it like the rest of the fans. After the staff kicked all of us out of that vicinity, we went outside and shopped for a bit and then i MET HUNTER (klainest) THE ANGEL. AND STEFANIA (blainandrson). AND THEY’RE BOTH FUCKING ANGELS ALRIGHT. AMAZING. AND THEY GOT ALONG WITH MY REAL LIFE FRIENDS I HAD WITH ME. THEY HIT IT OFF SO WELL IT WAS SO WONDERFUL.
But then they started lining us up so we had to leave and we were all over the place, separated. I stood out there for like almost an hour after it started, but it was so much fun and didn’t seem like it so I didn’t really mind. The fans were entertaining. THEY FINALLY CALLED MY GROUP IN AND THEN I STARTED PANTING BUT IT STILL HADN’T HIT ME ATM. WE SAW LITTLE GLANCES HERE AND THERE, GROANED WHEN THE PEOPLE CHANGED THEIR DIRECTIONS LIKE 4 TIMES, AND WAITED…AND WAITED.
This is when it gets funny for me, because the line was held up and people were groaning but then we see Chris come out from the bathroom and everyone started screaming. My friend was out of it so I literally punched her omg. THEN WE WERE CALLED UP AND I STARTED MAKING THE WEIRDEST NOISES TO ONE OF THE PEOPLE ON HIS TEAM SO SHE’S LIKE “EXCITED MUCH?” AND ME AND MY FRIEND JUST LAUGH. Then we had to stop with another person, and then another like so close to him before you actually meet him. THAT WAS WHEN IT HIT ME ((i sound like i’m writing a really bad fanfiction omg)) BUT IT LITERALLY HIT ME A SECOND BEFORE I MET HIM. WHILE I WAS PUTTING THE BOOK ON THE TABLE.
And he started talking and my voice got suuuuper high, higher then it has in years. I was like “Autumn, Autumn, omg he is speaking to you. Speak words back.” But we kept talking over each other because we were super rushed (i only got like 5 seconds with him; he got through my group of friends in 15 seconds tops that’s how fast they went) BUT HE WAS SO NICE. UGH. HE WAS AN ANGEL TOO. IT WAS HONESTLY THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE SO FAR. HMMMM I WANT TO MEET HIM AGAIN.
I COULD SAY MORE BUT I’M STILL SO EXCITED I CAN’T THINK STRAIGHT SO IF YOU’RE INTERESTED I’LL PUT MORE ON AS I REMEMBER.

Re: The Land of Stories 2 : Book Tour 2013
YOU GUYS
SO I MET CHRIS COLFER TODAY.
And I was like grinning like an idiot the entire time I was in line and then when I actually saw him all I said was “you need to win some more awards” and I said really monotone and he probably thought I was unimpressed by him or something but I was actually kind of in shock BECAUSE I WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF CHRIS FUCKING COLFER and I wish I could do the whole thing over so bad and like give him an actual compliment or at least LOOK AT HIM instead of not being able to because I was having a fangirl heart attack I want to go back and smile at him and tell him he’s one of my favorite people on the planet and that he has the voice of an angel and that I know someone who thinks the reason Kurt doesn’t get enough solos on Glee is because he has a mermaid prince living in his throat and if he gets too much oxygen he dies.
Also I kind of wish the experience was less rushed. I didn’t get to look at him until like the last like few seconds I was in line, and the employees basically made sure each person got exactly ten seconds with him and then another five to stand behind a rope and take a picture. And someone was actually COUNTING DOWN MY FIVE SECONDS while I was trying to take his picture. And for three of them there was somebody standing in the way so the picture I got was really blurry and shit and I tried to take another one and the guy was just like NO you had five seconds.
BUT IT’S ALL OKAY BECAUSE I GOT TO STAND IN FRONT OF CHRIS COLFER IN REAL LIFE AND HE SIGNED MY TLOS2 BOOK AND I’VE SEE HIM UP CLOSE AND IN PERSON AND OH MY GOD THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
AND I also met Caitlin kind of by accident because she was at the same event and I noticed her on the way out. And then I hid behind a wall for like five minutes because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to talk to her like a normal human being because Chris Colfer had just made my fangirl heart explode. But then she turned out to be literally the sweetest person EVER so it was okay.

Re: The Land of Stories 2 : Book Tour 2013
I MET HIM. HE IS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!
in hindsight, i probably looked like a complete idiot and crazy person. and christina probably has it on video. and now chris will just remember me as another crazy fangirl. but i found out his Hogwarts house (and i was right). He said he’s a Ravenclaw. :] in which i literally yelled, “YES!” and jumped. oh my god. why.
also, christina totally walked into one of his security guards by accident. oops.
