Boston
Another big hiatus from the blog. I apologize dear reader.
Well, just when I thought my travels were done for the summer, I decided at the beginning of August that I was going to go with some friends to Boston for another charity event. I couldn’t resist this one, and I was already really missing those girls, so I used my United air voucher and bought myself a ticket.
That event was this past weekend and it was pretty spectacular. There were two charitable organizations that held events. The first had a series events on Saturday, including a Q&A with the actors, a meet and greet (which I didn’t attend), and a cocktail party.
At the Q&A, I won a special prop that was used on the show. It’s a fishing hat that the character EJ wore when he proposed to Sami. As a result of winning, not only did I win the hat, but I also got to have James reenact the proposal, which was hilarious.
He was very sweet about it. But, I had to say no. I had to stick to script.
Later that night we attended the cocktail party and it was pretty good. I didn’t work very hard to meet the other actors, and I hate waiting in line for a quick little introduction and picture. My friends and I pretty much stayed in the same area and since James is very familiar with my group, he spent a good amount of time with us.
The next day, I attended a very special event put on by my favorite charity, which is run by a group of friends. They had a brunch at a private residence with a few of the actors. It was very relaxed and fun, and the food was spectacular.
Randomly, I played air hockey with James, which was fun and really unexpected.
Later, while he was sitting at our table I got to talk to him about a few things including a little inside bet I have with a few friends. He was the only person who could tell me if I was going to lose the bet or win, and so I showed him the criteria. He thought it was pretty funny, but sadly had to tell me that I had indeed lost the bet.
Here he is writing a smart ass comment on the bet.
Being around the actors was great and everything, but it really was all about my friends. But seriously, they are such spectacular people. It was well worth the cost to go out there and see them again. I wish we weren’t so spread across the North America.
At these events I get so little sleep and barely get to eat and so by the end I’m totally ruined, but it’s so worth it.
Now that there are no foreseeable events and I’m pretty much broke, it’s time to slow down and get back into routine and settle down. It was such a crazy fun summer and I will never forget it.
