Fan Encounter and Picture from 08/08/2009

Remember tinkrbe1l3 that froze on her tracks when she saw Rob on Friday night? Well last night she didn't :) I have a huge smile on my face because she is the cutest! Read it, you'll agree ;)


*Gozde: You see 100 pix of Rob smiling and 1 picture without a smile makes everyone get up in arms about his "well being". Just read the cute story man, don't judge every picture...

Sooooo…me again and do I have a story for you (can u tell by the pic???). This one is a little longer because of the build up but it’s a goood story IMHO. Where did we leave off from Friday night: I’m a moron. I don’t know how to talk to people I adore. I don’t know how to look at people I adore. My best friend rocks. Did I mention what I do for a living? I teach public speaking. Yeah. Seriously.

Here’s how I gave myself a Cher (Moonstruck) slap and snapped outta it. During Marcus’ show Friday night he mentioned he’d might play the piano for his Saturday show. I’m a sucker for some good piano playin’ and since my brain was melting on Friday, I didn’t get to really take in the show like I wish I could have. So I considered going again if there were tix and if I could get someone to come with. There WERE tix (crazy!) and I got a friend to tag along (not the best friend who was busy). All was good. I knew Rob wasn’t gonna come because…I don’t know. That’s just what I told myself at the time. My goal? Marcus on the keys. This is when it all starts to be God/kismet/meant to be/luck/whatever you pray to because if Marcus didn’t mention the piano, I wouldn’t have gone to see him again.

My friend had asked me earlier in the day what my ultimate goal was here with Rob (she was just getting the story of the night prior). I said I suppose the icing on the cake is a pic with him. I added since that was near impossible considering his popularity, I’d settle for a distant viewing of him at a public appearance of his choosing (trying to respect the man, trying to respect the man). We get to the show and we’re at the end of the line but its ok. No pressure tonight. Go inside and grab a good spot at the front and hear the opening act. He was great! Kevin Earnest. Well Mr. Earnest played his set with a violinist and a cellist. Suuuper sexy. At least to me. I’m a sucker for strings. Keys and strings. He mentions he’s selling cds after his show and I know I gotta get it if he’s got the strings going on. After the show he doesn’t seem too sure where he’s selling stuff (???) so I take it upon myself to go towards the entrance in the
back and ask the merchandise ladies what’s up. I tell my friend to hold down the fort, I’m gonna go get a cd. And here we go….

I walk to the back and the ladies don’t know what’s up with the guys cd but I see Marcus has his live disc for sale (awesome cd btw). I go to buy it when the world shifts to slow-mo and the door right by me busts open. I turn to see what startled me and see random flashes outside. Who was it that came in like a living god? Rob. Robert. Robert Pattinson. He looked dead at me (there was no where else TO look, that’s how small this area was). What did I do? Looked away immediately and made an audible gasp (reference the first story to understand why I’m a moron). I shoved myself away from the merchandise desk as if I was struck and backed up against the wall. Whether I was trying to give space for the gorgeous living god before me or melt into the wall to disappear, I don’t know. Here’s what I was saying in my head: Breathe. You can’t stop breathing. Why are you alone?!? Where is your best friend?!? Where are your legs?!? Keep breathing.

I had no plan WHATSOEVER to take a pic. I couldn’t move let alone grab my camera out of my pocket but I’ll forever be indebted to this bold, slightly obnoxious, woman. I hear someone say quite casually, “Oh my god, can I have a picture?” She then gave Marcus her camera (where did HE come from?!?!) and Rob laughs (LAUGHS!!!) and says something like: he’s gotta be in it too, he’s Marcus. This didn’t faze the woman. She had Marcus take her shot then gave Rob her camera to take a pic of Marcus and her. This all happened in front of my petrified eyes but something was simmering. Her boldness was sprinkling out onto me. I had tried to tell them all I could take the pic but it came out barely in a whisper and no one heard. I don’t know if I actually even said it out loud now. But I had to do something else to inject myself into the situation or I would never forgive myself. I got my opening.

After her camera show, I increased my vocal volume and asked Rob if I too could have a picture...please. He said sure. But then! There was commotion over back by the merchandise ladies. Rob’s posse of Brits were saying something which made Marcus ask something which made Rob turn away (ACK!!!) to see what was up (it wasn’t anything and I really didn’t care if it was something). I asked bold girl if she’d take a pic for me and she said of course (that is if he remembered me…ha!). But he did. He turned back around (we’re still operating in slow-mo here) and I put my arm around his waist (help) and he put his arm across my back or shoulder or waist (damn that part is foggy) and I smiled for the camera. He’s very serious in the pic and looks tired (although surprisingly younger in person) and I felt a little bad. As he walked away and I struggled to collect myself, I let the first thing that came to mind tumble from my mouth.
“Congratulations on all your success.” His back had been turned to me at that point as he was leaving the small foyer but he turned around and flashed me thee smile. The genuine, classic, Rob smile and said, “Thank you so much.” And then he was gone and I floated far far away. I didn’t get the smile shot he threw at me but it’s ok. Feels more intimate that way ;-) It’s imprinted in my memory only. I saw him from a distance sporadically through the night (I think the woman’s bold dust sprinkled on him too) as he moved about but I already had my moment. All that’s left to say is veni vidi vici.

@ Georgie

You're right. And I'm totally appreciative of the chance to see him. Super cool of him to come out and support his friends!

Georgie said...

It's all over now at the TCA's - according to a tweet, R&K left together in a black navigator (along with entourage by the looks of it)

JandR said...

Wow Georgie you're on the ball!! I'm at work and you guessed it haven't done a scrap of work all morning lol - robsessing seems to be taking over my life at the moment there is so much goin on!! And Megan - if I could be where you are right now I would believe me. I think I would just melt if I knew Rob was in the same room as me let alone see him in person... drooling here lol

@ JandR

I always thought I'd lose my mind too, but it was strange...more than anything I felt bad for him. I know thinking that is silly, but the last night with all the paparazzi just made me realize how crazy his life must be when he goes out. Plus, I was more excited to see Marcus and Bobby (who are super awesome guys, btw!).

Great story! I'm so glad that you were able to summon the courage to talk to him. I'm generally a very shy person, but have met some of my favorite celebrities in the past and am always surprised when the confident girl comes out of me as well. I was only able to get a glimpse of Rob from several feet away (a few months back) and it was completely surreal...he is DEFINITELY better looking in person:) Congratulations on a successful Rob siting and thanks for sharing your story!

His eyes look dialated!! See how big the pupils are? Poor Rob looks very tired. I hope he can relax some the rest of this week.

now that is an awesome fan photo thanks tinks for sharing .. please pelase please photo edit red eyes and bad lighting ( if you can before posting any pix on sites.) these guys and gals are gracious enough to allow us fans to have pix taken with them isn't it just common curtesy to either keep pix private or make sure that they are top notch before posting. B

Rob can't even pick his nose with out someone taking a pic ( paps or fans) be curtious when approaching actors .. i firmly believe in this These guys are there to work it just happens that the work they do makes them famous i met Steven Weber, Geoff Stults Warren Christie and jay Paulson this summer and now i have wonderful memories not because i was a pushy fan but because i was curtious enough to wait for an invitation to say Hi and Trust me I was star struck when I saw Steven
