hey all I am finally get a chance to post my fan encounter with MR. MATT CZURCHY himself

Here is my recap of the CW Upfronts

Ok so I get off the commuter train and I end up at the press entrance—they tell me fans and actors need to go to the “green carpet entrance”

I get there ---approx 50 or so fans from various shows have assembled
I talk to the guy next to me who is a MC fan and he tells me that MC arrived about 30 minutes before (at about 8:30—I guess he likes to be early) This guy got a autograph and he also said MC was actually mingling in the crowed near where the cars pulled up—I was so sad but I decided to stay—literally I am not there for 5 minutes more—when I see a very familiar blond head of hair—Literally he is the first celebrity I saw---my hands were shaking—I could even steady the camera (mind you my hubby could get out of work so I am by myself) I snap a few shots—I am in the 2nd row. I can hear MC thanking people he is rather soft spoken. He was happily signing autographs and he even took a few pictures with fans. After that I quickly see pretty much the rest of the cast. I got pictures of DH, SP, EH, and JP. EH was making small talk with the group about the dedicated fans and the show being a success because of the fans. All of them were taking pictures with the Fans. SP took a picture and was conversing with some of the younger teens near me and eve told them they should come see the WB tour--he would "hook them up"

After about an hour and a half the upfronts finish and the actors start filling out and are on their way to the Bryant Park café. Most of the actors signed some more autographs as they filed out. I was really hoping to get a autograph of either AB or MC.

MC comes out and is talking with AB…they were having a conversation. Matt had his head tilted down a bit listening to her since I guess she must have been talking softly. He was leaning into to listen to what she was saying. The staff was hurrying them up to get in the car to make their way over to lunch—I was really sad because although I got some great shots I was not able to get an autograph—So I scurry over to the area where the cars are waiting and guess who is waiting for his car---yep MC-and I am literally against the barricade—I put out something to be signed and I just started talking (something I do when I am nervous) well he responds back I was floored

Me- Matt I came to see you even though I have a final this afternoon (I am a grad student and had a huge final that afternoon but I knew I had to go into the city since I would never get an opportunity to again)
MC-wow –you sure it wasn’t for the guys from 1 tree hill
Me- nope I am a huge fan—I came just to see you
MC- oh really (smirk) thank you that means a lot

At this point he finishes signing and goes to sign someone else’s stuff –he starts taking a group pic with like 5 girls (they were right next to me )
And he was coming back towards me—I was going to ask for a pic but they told him his car was there. In addition I got to see some people from VM, some from OTH, 7th heaven, and some of the cast from smallville, America’s next top model, Chris Rock, and some WWE wrestlers.

The day was a blur however I do remember thinking that Jared P (Dean) was really nice and so TALL in person. DS was good looking and SP had a nice voice.

CMM from one tree hill was talking to some of the fans and one of them asked what he likes to do in his free time and I was really shocked when he said he is a “home body” and enjoys staying at home.

MR (the actor who plays Lex on smallville) actually made a comment to everyone who was there that he hoped they were wearing sunscreen since it was a bright sunny and warm day in NYC.

The pictures are not only GG but everyone I saw there—sorry they are crappy half the times I was just to short and the other times I was a bit star struck!!!!!
