Thanks Reuben! I'll file it under "missed connection." Too late, My Bryan White! Maybe you'll write me into a song someday..the one that got away or more like "the one that was asked to go away." I wish you way more cooler celeb/icon/fan type encounters in your future! :)
OMG I totally get this! Gordon Ramsay is my seekrit cooking boyfriend and Larry Mullen,Jr is my seekrit drummer boyfriend. You'd have to mop me up off the floor if I ever meet either of them.
Lolol so much to love about this. I met Andy Grammer at a VIP event one time and, despite having been on a 5-day cruise with him a few months before, chatting him up at karaoke, and being in the front row at literally every show, I was a puddle on the floor when it was time to meet, pose, and sign. He, as always, was amazing, but omg I was such an idiot.
And then there was Mark-Paul Goselaar. I will have to write something about that one. It will start out looking like your story but end much diffeeently. 😂😭
Nicci-then you know!!! Is there a Master Class in Being Unfreakish in Celeb encounters? Take my money!!! I will look forward to your MPGoss meet cute! Can’t wait!!
Such a great story! So much 90s nostalgia. I can't help but wonder where your arm is going in that picture though. I assume you are checking the ripeness of Bryan's peaches.
Believe it or not, I've never met a celebrity. Michigan is not, like, Scandinavia or something. Celebs come here, sometimes. I just don't go wherever they cloister. I think I instinctively know I wouldn't survive the encounter with my dignity intact. I've spent too much time admiring someone like Olyphant to be anything approaching normal in his presence.
Funny coincidence: our wedding song was From This Moment On, specifically the duet version by Shania Twain and Bryan White. Beautiful song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZWYn7VCseY
I am actually lifting his wallet! This was a turning point moment for me in a lot of ways! My Beige Canary origin story! I had totally forgotten about Bryan and Shania's duet...you're right..that is a KILLAAAHH! He really was/is a talented artist and seemed very earnest. I am SHOCKED that you've never had a brush with an icon, superfan of so many domains that you are!!! Seriously..not ONE 'con in your life?! I think you should remedy that immediately. You are right 100%, it will be dingus city in reality, but in the legendary movie in your mind--your families are vacationing together and you're on an epic text chain with Tom Hanks! :) Delusion is the new vodka. Everyone should take a sip at least once in a while :)
I get it. The Con is pretty hard core. But now I feel like you've thrown down the gauntlet. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!! Related: Anyone on this thread know Harrison Ford or anyone associated with the Star Wars megafranchise? Asking for a friend....;)
How super adorable are the both of you in that photo!!! Man this was so worth it, the tension building up; for me it has surpassed even your Bob and Norman nail-biter. Bryan and Sheila, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G 👩❤️💋👨
Please tell me this "partner" you spoke of in your previous articles, the one you have to drag with you to New England mansions where he rolls his eyes at your comedic genius Amelia Earhart impressions, is none other than Bryan White himself all growed up!!
HAAAAAAAA!!!! BUSTED!!!! Omigod, wouldn't THAT be the epic reveal?! Unfortunately, non. Bryan is sitting on his back porch with a chocolate lab splayed at his feet, picking on his guitar, thinking about this girl he met at a fan thing so long ago, wishing he had made his move......TOTALLY! :) X!
Srsly. Don't even bother driving all night from Nashville to Boston to stand underneath my window with Sonos speakers and your smart phone blasting Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" live from London to win me over. MOVE ON, BRYAN!!! :)
Oh yeah...hes totally into you 😁
This was such an epic encounter! Loved this story. I absolutely freak out when I meet a celebrity regardless of their fame level

I'm blessed with very active sweat glands, so even a selfie sees me break out in a tsunami of sweat mostly dripping off my nose!
HAAAAA!!! Maybe carry a ShamWow so they know what they are getting into. RESPECT! :)
I pretty much only sweat on my forehead. Which is not super great as I always look either nervous or out of shape.
Eric, so you're like Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas? :)
Other than all the paranoia. Yes. :)
OMG I totally get this! Gordon Ramsay is my seekrit cooking boyfriend and Larry Mullen,Jr is my seekrit drummer boyfriend. You'd have to mop me up off the floor if I ever meet either of them.
HAAA! Thanks Kim! I bet Gordon would be instantly smitten with VOUS! He'd name a new line of cookware after you and everything!!! 100%! :)
Beautiful photos and hilarious work. (Especially the caption!! Lolz....) I did not know this about you, and it makes me love you more...:
“That’s good. I think it felt okay, but I couldn’t tell. I think I was talking fast. Was I talking too fast?”
“I think you were talking the right speed.”
“That’s good.”
So good. xo
Karen--I am not cut out for the entourage life...let's just leave it at that! :) XO!

Same. Would give a limb to not be a moron when I meet someone famous.

Nope, never been to a con. Even though I am a capital N nerd. :)

LOLOL!
