Then I leave and wait in the lobby for Nick. But twenty minutes later I see Warren walk by. As he was walking through I was staring at him. He stared at me for awhile and then kept walking. I wanted to keep my eye on him but I couldn't find my postcard. Luckily I found it as he turned to walk my way. I slightly waved it at him and quietly asked for an autograph. He said sure. As I walked over he asked me if I knew when the sushi bar opened and I said no. He asked me my name and when I told him how to spell it he said, "I love it" and smiled. I said thanks and he went on his way.

I waited another half hour then I had to go to class. I was bummed that I didn't get Nick or Simon. Only if I knew what I was in store for. I came back after class and my friend Anita told me I just missed Nick but he was walking to dinner with Joe and two other guys and he would be back. So I nearly got in a car accident trying to park and I wait in front of the hotel for two hours in 85 degree heat. I later find out that the two other guys were Dave, the tour manager and the guy who is taping their documentary. Joe came back first and he knew Anita and was talking to her. I talked to him for a bit a gave him a little white Teddy Bear which he thought was cute. He liked my silver nail polish and he was wearing a pretty turquiose color. I told him how he could find me in the audience which was by looking for a zebra striped cowboy hat. He says he'll look for us but he had to go because he had an appointment.

Then Anita sits next to me and says, "Nick is walking this way." I said, "You're kidding me." She says, "No, I'm not. He's coming with the two other guys they left with." Believe it or not I was surprisingly calm after I got over my initial urge to hyperventilate. I mean this beautiful man is just casually walking down the street looking fabulous with the sun shining on him and a big smile on his face. And he's walking in my direction!! I mean people have dreams about things like this happening. Well, when I see him I wave and he waves back like who is this girl but then sees I want his autograph. He says hello and then signs his name on his postcard, then I have him sign the Interview magazine article he did with Trey Parker. He looks at it and purses his lips saying,"This was much funnier when we were doing it. I was so disappointed with the way it turned out." So he takes it from me and I'm thinking he's just going to sign it but he holds on to it and starts reading it. As he's doing this I realize I almost forgot to give him the gift I had for him and I rush over to get it out of my bag. It was a little white bracelet. He takes it and studies it and asks me about the stones. He says, "Are they coral?" I say I have no idea what they are and then he says, "They must be alien teeth.:-)" Then I go for a pic. First I take one of Anita and him then Dave, their tour manager, takes one of Nick and I. He's about to take when it he says the light is bad and we should turn around. Nick agrees and then briefly goes on about the hazards of bad lighting. He's always the photographer. Then he goes to leave and thanks me for the gift. After he leaves I look at my magazine to see what he was doing and he went through and made corrections on the article. It was too funny:-) I forgot to mention while Anita and I were waiting for Nick and Joe, Warren kept coming out of his hotel room with fewer and fewer clothes on. I'm not kidding. First he had on a shirt and sweat pants, then he just had on sweat pants, then he just had on underwear. It was a very nice way to pass the time.

That was my first encounter....more to come soon.
