Hey everybody!! I'm pretty much a lurker at this site, but I wanted to share James's Macy event since everyone seems anxious for it lol. Anywho, my friend and I arrived to the Union Square Macy's around 12pm. When we got to the 4th floor where the event was held, there was a decent line already (like to the end of one side of the store). We needed to wear these pink wristbands and they even gave us a list of rules to read over hahaha such as no personal items can be used, no photos allowed on stage. The security people were pretty strict on the rules and kept repeating them. We couldn't even shake hands with him!! Only the first 300 people got wristbands, but security said that there was a chance that others without the bands can get autographs depending on the time. From what I read about the NY and FL events, 300 seems small now lol.

So my friend and I waited....patiently.....for two hours. During that time, I bought a pair of shoes since I've been wanting a new pair (also I had a gift card to spend). I was able to get the clutch which was alright, but I do like the inside. I figured it was killing two birds with one stone. Finally, James arrived. I tried to get to the front and take some pictures, but it was too crowded and I have a disadvantage in height. I was able to take a picture of his head though hahhaa.

The line went pretty fast for me. Sadly, we were unable to take any pictures with him, just outside the lines. He engraved mine though with my name. Normally, I don't find myself speechless around celebrities, but I admit I was a starstruck when he signed for me

. I did blurt out that I thought he has grown into such an amazing actor since S1. And he thanked me and said that it was good meeting me. Also, so much hotter in person lol. And Joe Davola was there too. I wanted an autograph from him but couldn't get close to him. Oh well. After, I took a bunch more pictures of him at the side. They ran out of the autographed pictures, so personal items were allowed. Someone even brought a basketball! Some people w/o the bands were able to get things signed so it was all good.

James left when the signing ended. His "entourage" pretty much swept him away pretty quickly. They did give out some Keith Scott hoodies for the first people who could get out a library card and Macy's card (darn it I had already bought my shoes by then). Also, after the signing Joe and some others started throwing the sharpies that James used out to the audience....mass chaos right there. Lastly, they gave two people autographs of James and Stuart, if they answered the following questions: What is Naley's son's full name? and What is Nathan's middle name? Surprisingly, most people picked couldn't name the kid. Everyone kept repeating Jamie Lucas Scott haahahha. It was pretty funny.

So, it was a pretty fun and crazy day. I've never met any members of the cast, so it was an amazing experience. Sorry if this is too long or I've rambled on too much and nice to meet you all. I'll post some pictures on the next post.
