First time I've heard of Virgil soaking people for money, described as "cool".

I guess this is like a horror convention. Apparently the Chiller Theatre was a channel on TV that showed nothing but horror movies in the 90's. As I'm reading reviews it looks like they have displays from different horror movies but the guests have nothing to do with the horror theme. Cool. :)

For those of you who haven't added me on Facebook, here's my little meet and greet with Al. :)

We got to Chiller around 5:30, and we got in around 6:10. We went straight to Al's line, and waited there until around 6:45. I kept peeking through the cracks of the shade.

"I can see his hair!!" I exclaimed to my mom.



We paid for our picture and autograph. I was really shy at first, then the guy sitting next to him says, "It's okay, he doesn't bite."



I run to him and shake his hand.

"How are you?" He says with a smile.

"I'm good!! Oh my gosh I'm such a big fan I've been to 3 concerts and met you once before and I have all your albums!!" I say, while he's goofily grinning.

"Thank you so much! That means a lot!"

"And I also wanted to wish you a happy birthday since I know it was on Wednesday. Half of 54 is 27, so we are lucky!"

"Ah, thank you." He said and giggles.



I paused for a second.



"I made you these." I said, handing him an envelope with drawings inside it.

"For me?" He says, opening it.

"Yes, I worked really hard on them."



He skims through. "Wow, these are really good! Thanks so much!" He says, and he pulls out the last one in the back, one i had found in my drawer.

"I did that one in i think, 5th grade." I comment.

He shyly giggles and I set my ukulele on the table.

"Will you make this out to me?" I ask.

"Sure, how do you spell your name again?"

"Mia, M I A."

Then he blew me away.

"Lybolt?" He asks.

"Yes, wait HOW'D YOU KNOW?!"

"Well, what else would it be?"

"Was it because of my tweets to you?"

"Yes," and he answered my question that I had tweeted him earlier that day, "and I think the fox says like Ring Ding Ding."

He giggles, and I just put my hands over my mouth. And he signs MY UKe.



"I have another present for you!"

"Yay!"

"So I've been working on this for about 6 months and what I've been doing is talking to other fans and we have been through a lot and we wanted to thank you especially for doing these book signings and meet and greets and concerts, so we made you this, The Unauthorized Al."

I hand him the DVD and he smiles.

"This is so sweet! Come here let me give you a hug!"

He wraps me in the biggest one he could manage and I did the same, except i was shaking. Like 5 seconds later and were out of it.

"I can't wait to watch this! Thanks so much!"

"You're welcome, thank you!"

"Picture?"

"Sure!" I go around the left of the table o the table so I was on his right and he puts his arm and me and I do the same to him. My mom clicks.

"It came out blurry." She says.

"You can take another."

The second one comes out much better.

I put my head on his shoulder and he wraps his arm around me and GIGGLES IN MY EAR. Jdnsisbeidbeidbeubsuebb



"Oh, before I leave, I have a band called Wanna B Ur Covr, and Lulu, Drew, and Gabby wanted me to tell you that they say hi."

"We'll tell Wanna B Ur Covr that I say hi back."



"Thanks again!"



And we leave. On the way out, I pass Jay Levey and give him a high five.

And it was all over too quick.

But he was the greatest experience ever.

It's really neat that Al remembers so many fans from Twitter and stuff!
Is my dude a dweeb?
