Hello friends I am dead!!! I told Chris that I was excited to have the other books for my classroom library and he asked what grade I taught and I told him 8th grade English and that was that but he’s so nice and pretty and a joy.

So this is audio that was captured by imaginecourage of when I met Chris Colfer at the NYC signing on 7/7/15. It’s sort of hard to hear and I don’t know how to fix it, but I’ll write to the best of my memory everything that was said:
(backstory: I was one of the winners of the art contest last year, the one he’s looking at in the pic, and at the nyc signing then I gave him the original painting.)
Me: Thank you so much for having the art contest last year,

Chris: oh yeah? (a bit confused)
Me: it was the highlight of my life it meant a lot to me, I made the Ezmia painting
Chris: You did??
Me: yeah
Chris: Did you give me the original?
Me: I did
Chris: It’s up in my office!
Me: really?!?!?!?
(I died and like covered my mouth in shock just dead)
My friend (aka the one recording): I TOLD YA, I TOLD YA
Chris: I loooved it, yeah it was beautiful, thank you so much
Me: Can I shake your hand? *he holds out his hand, then while shaking his hand: You deserve all of your success
Chris: Oh thank you, keep on painting, alright!

Me: Thank you so much!!
I may have been freaking out a bit after because whaaaat my friends have always been like ‘it’s totally up in house’ and I’ve been like nah but wow just wow, this is probably my biggest accomplishment ever and I love and look up to Chris so much!!

Chris Colfer - Nashville TLOS4 tour 7/12/2015
First of all, if anyone ever gets the chance to meet Chris in person, DO IT!  He’s extremely nice….and extremely gorgeous in person.
First, here are the pictures:


























Here’s a recap:
So first I got there early, you know, just in case. Went and grabbed pack2014 book for her since she was just landing in Nashville from NY.  Once I got the book, my kids and I went and got in line (we were in signing line B).  It was about 100 degrees in the hallway where we were, but hey, it was worth it.  Finally Nikki made it and we were able to catch up.  I won’t get into the conversations or looks we were getting from a group of ladies who were standing beside us who were apparently not CC fans.  It was obvious from the faces they were making while we talked about Nikki’s time at Hedwig.
Moving on….once we got up to where he signed, there was a designated picture taking area.  So, my kids shoved the books at me, and they went behind the line to take pictures (they could really have cared less, so yes those pictures above are taken by teenagers). 
The line went SUPER fast.  I was afraid I wouldn’t have time to say hi and bye to him.  However, when I got up there, here’s what was said:
He said hi.
I thanked them for adding Nashville to the book tour.
He said yeah, no problem (or something like that, my mind is in a haze).
I told him I forced my kids to come with me because I was afraid I would be the almost 30 something year old there, but apparently that wasn’t the case.  Both him and Alla laughed.  He then said “oh no, I have 80 year olds coming all the time”.  I laughed and commented that that was sweet, and that I work with the elderly.  He said “awwww”.  Alla then looked at him and said, “that’s probably what you are going to be doing."  He shook his head and said yeah.  I said, "what? work in a nursing home?”.  He laughed and said yeah.
The lady then stuck the next person’s book in front of him to sign so I thanked him again and told him it was nice meeting him, then I stuck out my hand to shake it (because I am from the south y'all and we have this thing called southern hospitality). 
HE SHOOK MY HAND!
I thanked him again and walked out.
He is such a sweet, humble, and very talented human being.  (and SOOOOO nice looking in person).  And tall!  Wow. 
Unfortunately, the line moved so fast I didn’t get to say everything I wanted, but all in all it was a great event.  I would recommend it if you get the chance to meet him.
I also posted some on twitter (@cllsellers) and IG (@briancassie) 

I find if funny how these CrissColfer ones talk about Darren to other people and these people have no idea who they are talking about and are not interested either.


But is good to see they are not getting upset about.

hrhchriscolfer: Thanks for coming to see me, Nashville! See you tomorrow, Austin! #TLOS4
