A few weeks back now I was one of the lucky ones to grab a wristband and meet Theo James (waits for the screams to end 🙂 ) at San Diego Comic Con.
I have to say he was hotter than I imagined and so very sweet and still had a tinge of shock and awe when he looked over the crowds and saw all the screaming, squealing, and crying teens and tweens. But I am jumping the gun of how this all went down.
SDCC was an epic adventure to begin with, add the chance to meet Theo and his hot co-star Shailene Woodley and that just adds so much more to the fun and chaos that is SDCC.
I set out on Saturday very early in the am to make sure to get one of the elusive and coveted bracelets from the Lionsgate booth that would be hosting the autograph session for the Insurgent stars. I had to camp out to ensure I would get a bracelet and I wasn’t alone, hundreds of us were in line and waiting and waiting and waiting till the convention hall doors opened up at 9am. But if I was able to grab a wristband to make sure I got the autograph then all my standing and complaining and a sleepless night would pay off!
And we are off, running and pushing ignoring the announcement to walk and not run to get where were going. And when I got to the booth I held my breath and waited before I knew I was one of the lucky ones to get the wristband. It seemed like forever I was waiting and before I knew it I was told that yes I got one. The bracelets were gone in minutes. Yes you read right minutes. The doors were barely open for 10 minutes and the bracelets were all gone. I was so happy, and glowing and vibrating I was going to meet THEO JAMES!
We got our blue bracelets and were told when to be back to assure we were in line and ready to go. I was on cloud nine all day. Nothing and I mean nothing could bring me down.
The time was fast approaching to get on the line to meet Theo, and I cannot lie I was a bundle of nerves. See I also co-own www.FYeahTheoJames.com and I was ready with my FYeahTheoJames.com T-shirt (which will soon be available for purchase) and wristbands and anxious to see Theo’s reaction of said shirt and website. When you think of the mass amount of people there to meet him and you have seconds to see him, say hi, and make some sort of impression and well that adds to the butterflies that were already fluttering around in my stomach. I was poised in the front, so when Theo came out, he would have to see me, and in turn the shirt. And well .. Yeah he did.. and he read it and I saw him mouth it, and it was the reaction I was hoping for one of a triumphant and happy look! Can you imagine? He saw ME, the shirt, and in turn the website and LOVED IT. His reaction was epic! Epic I tell you!
I thought I was on a high before, by merely just getting the wristband and now the man himself saw my shirt and the site and smiled, gave me a thumbs up and even said F*Yeah!
We were able to say a few words to him, it was hard he was on a platform and I am merely 5’1″ and between the screams it was hard to hear, but my mission was for him to see the site name, and react and well he did!
