ALYSON HANNIGAN
THEATER ROYAL, HAYMARKET, LONDON - PLAY
4th MAY 2004

Ending a wonderfull trip the best way possible...

This was my birthday present from a very good friend of mine. We went to the theater 2 days after I turned 20. I didn't even dare to hope, I just hoped it wouldn't be a day where the understudy did it. Then the first sign of it not being it was Jason Priestley standing in the bar, so I dared to hope, then the play started and I saw her on stage. She was absolutely brilliant. So made for comedy, I was laughing so hard all my insides were hurting and when I wasn't the butterflies were flapping around. I was sitting there thinking about how lucky I was. Aly is one of my idols and to see her there in front of me, it was surreal and incredible.

When we went outside after the play I hurried to ask where maybe the stars would come out and sign and I was directed to the back where I hurried. A crowd had allready gathered there and there were no space by the barrier, so I just got my Sunnydale yearbook out of my backpack and my silver pen and hoped for the best. Aly came out and started signing. Some people took photos, others tried to get an autograph, then I was lucky enough that some people moved to the back after getting their autograph and I got to the front, holding out my yearbook, hoping to be lucky. And she came my way and I reached her both the yearbook and the pen.

ME: "Oh, I brought my own pen..."

ALY: "Those things leak"

She tried signing with it, but there was practicly no ink left in it, so she signed it with an other pen.

ME: "You were great tonight"

ALY: "Thanks"

She signed an other persons item before her car came and she hurried in again and then she hurried out to the car. I snapped a photo of her car, slightly being a paparazzi, hoping the picture would turn out ok and then the car left.

I was all blushing and bouncing up and down the rest of the night.
