So I literally almost ran into Alexis Bledel today as I was leaving Target and she was walking in, hand in hand with a curly haired guy. I was looking at the guy and didn't realize that it was her until my roomate muttered "Rory". Anyways, she is pretty tiny. I thought that she was pretty tall, but in heels she was shorter than me-5'6ish and she is tiny. I always thought that on TV, she looked slim, but not overly skinny...she's tiny. Anyways, just thought I'd share with all the AB fans out there.

Anyone else have any AB stories to share?

Hey Linds

Welcome to the board! I'm happy to have you here with us.

And thanks so much for sharing that story.

I've always thought she was pretty tall too, at least 5'7...

I think I've only read of one other fan encounter here before. Erin met her and took a pic with her in NY while Alexis was there for the Fish premiere.

I'm gonna merge this with the fan encounters thread.

Yes that was me who met Alexis Bedel at the after party at the bar called The Hideaway for her movie I'm Reed Fish at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival in NYC.

It was funny I saw her at one point during the after party talking on her cell phone and looked like she was in a fight with who ever she was talking to on the phone with. So she came inside and was right near me at the bar. She ordered a drink but didn't like it so she put it down on the bar and went out side to catch some air.

So my friend Stacie who is a huge Gilmore Girl fan took her drink and we all drank out if it and were saying "We are drinking out of Rory Gilmore's drink"

It was pretty funny. Alexis ordered a Cap Coder in case you were wondering.

After wards we were outside getting ready to leave. I was saying my goodbyes to the producer Peter and his PA Heather for thanking them for inviting us. I really pulled my magic getting me and my friends into the after party. It was a wonderful time. So worth it.

So while I was saying my goodbyes I noticed Alexis talking to one of her co stars outside. I told my friends I would be right back and that I wanted to meet her and get a photo. My friends said to me good luck being they tried and said she was kind of stand offish and snobbish ot them and that it was hard to get individual photos let alone photos at all and that they were lucky they got a group shot with her.

I didn't listen to them and I went for it being they were getting ready to leave any minute and I knew this was my chance. Plus I have been a fan of hers since Gilmore Girls and I also wanted to have a photo to share with this board as well.

So I went up to Alexis. I think she was having a bad night from what I observed. I felt kind of bad for her. So I was really nice and gave her her space which I think she respected as she was talking to her fellow co star. I think she must have seen me talking to Peter and Heather before and assumed I was friends with the I'm Reed Fish cast because she was nice to me.

I told her how I loved her in the movie and I didn't mention Gilmore Girls at all which I think she was happy about. I asked her for a photo and she smiled and said "sure". We then took the photo. I think in a way I made her night. At least I hope so.

My friends were in shock when I told them I got a photo with her. I guess a little kindness goes a long way. It was great to meet Alexis. Over all I am not going to say anything bad about her because lets face it we are human and all have bad nights and she was very nice to me so what more could I ask for. Oh and Yes Alexis is very tall and skinny. But she looked great at the I'm Reed Fish Permier.

Over all it was a wonderful experince meeting her and showing my support for her film I'm Reed Fish. She was wonderful in it.

Here is the photo of Alexis and me

Over all it was a great experince. Hope you guys have more wonderful Alexis fan encounters to share and that yours was as nice as mine.

Hope all is well.

Love,
Erin

Thanks for sharing your story and that pic with us Erin.

That's great that she was nice to you, even though she was having a bad night.

I so envy you for having seen I'm Reed Fish already! I hope we get to see it soon.

ETA: Erin, it'd be great if you could share some spoilers with us from the movie, or just give a more detailed description of the movie, since we haven't gotten that yet.

Aw thanks yes it was great and over all a great night! I was so happy that even though Alexis was having a bad night that she was nice to me and I think or at least I like to think that I made her night as well.

I hope you all have just as wonderful experience as I did when you meet her.

Love,
Erin

Here is to hoping we have more fan encounters with the lovely Alexis in 2007!

madelen · 03-03-2007, 01:47 AM

Yeah. It would be great to her about more fan encounters.

Unfortunately, I haven't met Alexis.

But Erin, that's a nice story along with a gorgeous picture of her!
It seem to me, you meet a lot of stars. You are such a lucky girl!

Me and my friend Lauren met Alexis Bledel at the permiere and after party for her movie The Good Guy at Tenjune for the 2009 Tribecal Film Festival in NYC on April 26,2009! What a sweetheart! We had a great time!

It was great seeing Alexis again. We caught her just as she was leaving the after party and asked her for a photo while she was signing some autographs. She was like "sure if you have the camera ready." We quick took the photo and told her we loved the movie before she dashed off into her car. She was so nice. What a sweetheart! She didn't remember me from when I met her in 2006 but she couldn't have been nicer!

The movie The Good Guy was amazing! Alexis blew me away! Go see it!
