I met Chelsea at a book signing after her show in Salt Lake City. I was towards the end of the line and when I got there, she was still happy to sign books. She was asking me questions and thanking me for waiting (can you believe that?) and I just stared at her without, saying a word. I was in shock that she was there, right in front of me. And talking to me! I just hope she didn't think I was retarded, or worse, rude. If I had it to do over, I would. Sorry Chelsea and thank YOU!
It was during the first week of her CCBB book tour. After the show (which Josh opened with a ridiculously fantastic set), I was one of the first in line to get my book signed. It had been a long, awful day and I was extremely excited to finally get to meet her face to face.
Once I got up to the table, I was able to get a few coherent sentences out about Chunk (she'd recently adopted him) before the verbal diarrhea kicked in. At that point, I just remember hearing myself say "I fucking love you! I fucking love you!" over and over while collecting my book and walking away.
When I got outside, all the adrenaline came to a head. I spontaneously screamed "YEEESSSSS!" into the heavens on that San Francisco night while holding up my book in triumph. If you were within earshot, I'm sorry. It's just that it's not every day that your dreams come true.
I met Chelsea, Roy, & Chris F. I was soo geeked out I blogged about it. Click on the link above and read about the most fun I've had since I was 15 and discovered a place in a bad neighborhood that sold alcohol to minors.
p.s. She is very small despite her stylists trying to make her look otherwise ; )
