I yelled 'I love you!' to Susan Arendt while heading opposite directions on an escalator at PAX

[SW15243]

She gave me a look.
I instantly regretted my decision to do so.

...and?

[Nautical Honors Society]

Are we supposed to discuss something here? Or is this a topic in hopes of Susan Arendt responding...?

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Perhaps Susan could explain to us the validity of these claims?

Also, I want to go to PAX, especially since that one had DUKE NUKEM FOREVER!

Calumon: But then you wouldn't be with me!

 

[Blackadder51]

And.......?

 

[SW15243]

I just felt like sharing.
Discuss any moments you've had with celebrities? Or weird con experiences you've had?

 

[Marmooset]

Did you get her number?

 

[Tears of Blood]

Lol.

Susan's awesome and all, but I would've been more like "Hey, you're that lady I always respect but disagree with the opinions of at The Escapist! What's up!?"

I wonder if she'll see this and be like "oh that guy... creepy."

When I was at PAX I was walking along with my friends and I passed right by a group of people who looked familiar, but I couldn't quite pin down how I recognized them. About a second after I passed by them, I realized it was the folks from LoadingReadyRun. That was interesting, I guess.

 

[grimsprice]

Perhaps our senior editor will drop by to validate this claim? no? hmmmm....

I have never embarrassed myself in front of someone known to many.

I can even get us started with weird stories. I have a bad habit of having awkward moments with celebrities, you'll find.

When I was a lot younger, I was in Vancouver with some family, and my grandpa, who works in the film industry, was working on the set of X Men 2 and took me and my brother. I was about 8, and while wandering around on set I got sort of lost, and I bumped (Like, literally, physically ran into) into Hugh Jackman on his way toward makeup. He asked me how I was doing. I said good. Then, silence. He walked off.

It was super awkward.

 

[zombiesinc]

Eh, I see. I can only imagine why she gave you a look.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Is this the part where you become the prince of a town called Bel-Air?
Seriously though, I fail to see the discussion value in this thread.

Wait you physically bumped into Hugh Jackman and lived? He is made out of adamantium...he must not have been flexing.

I got whacked in the back of the head by Charisma Carpenter. Hurt too...

I was gripped with a burning desire to share that experience with The Escapist, since I'd forgotten for a full month. Also, it's fast approaching 1 AM and I haven't slept in a good 48 hours.
I did however try to salvage something of a discussion from this thread.

Tell that story to a few women and I can guarantee a payoff, that is if my sisters / female friends / cousins / classmates are any indicator.

His natural 'Don't to kill children' reflex is the only reason why I'm alive today. That scene where he pulls the claws on the cat? Same deal, except I didn't lick them afterwards.

I've learned instead to hone my story down to a simple one-sentence "I met Hugh Jackman once." It works about as well as you'd expect.

 

[SW15243]

Or like (When I was younger, I used to walk with my head down when nervous) I once walked headfirst into Vin Diesel's car while on the set of The Chronicles of Riddick. I didn't meet Vin, just dinged his car with my face. Super.
