Now -- as for the "aesthetics" -- that boy be FINE-ASS! He is very
tall and though lankier than during his DC days, well-formed and
long-limbed. He has very long legs and seems quite flexible (he does
this mini-yoga pose at one point and I was like "Oh -- so limber!").
His hair was doing that late S4 thing -- longish and slightly curling.
They brushed his hair down across his forehead to effect that 1970s
look (but not sideburns, Thank God!).
Afterwards, we went around back to hit a pub and it was right by the
stage door. So we waited there for him to come out. When he did, I
found myself pushed right to standing directly in front of him! He was
VERY TALL and wearing jeans, a puffy blue ski jacket and a baseball
hat. He looked tired, but was very polite and friendly to all of the
folks asking for autographs. He carried his own black Sharpie pen. I
handed him my programme and he glanced up to make eye contact with me
and I smiled, so he smiled back. His eyes are seriously crystal-blue!
Wow! Afterwards, he handed it back to me and I said Thank You and he
nodded and someone shoved another program in front of him.
So then, I turned to go, but the crowd came in tighter so I got stuck
where I was, right alongside JJ! Oh Lord! I was practically smushed
alongside him and the bouncer! The bouncer stands right next or behind
JJ, with his arm around his waist, to shield him from overzealous fans
and to guide him out to the curb for the taxi. I yelled out to
Danielle that I was stuck and kept trying to move out of the way
'cause others wanted to get close enough for an autograph, but I was
too small to maneuver out. I barely reached JJ's shoulder! Oh, and his
jacket was quite soft.
Sam (Danielle's just lovely boyfriend) asked JJ if he could get a
picture of him with us and JJ said, "Sure, but they have to get over
on this side 'cause my taxi's here". I heard that and was trying to
maneuver around (I was behind him at this point) and was craning my
neck to look for Danii so I could pull her over to him, and these two
girls ducked in quickly underneath his arms and I think he mistakenly
thought those were the ones he was supposed to be expecting, so he put
his arms around them and a quick picture was snapped from somewhere in
front of him. I was pushed up against his back. I probably could have
grabbed his ass, but he might not have appreciated that much! lol
Anyway, JJ was shoved into the taxi by the bouncer and drove off,
which I did not see, 'cause the crowd had closed around me again and I
was too short to look over any heads. Danii said a girl took off
running after the taxi. Hee!
Danielle's Story
As Anna said, we were looking for a bar around the back of the
theatre, when we spotted loads of girls (and a funny Irish guy :p )
waiting by the stage door. So we thought, 'What the hell, we may as
well wait.' Then, we realized we didn't have a pen, so the Irish guy
gave us his, even though we didn't use it. He was waiting for Patrick
Stewart, he liked Star Trek and he had seen Blood Brothers 34 times!
So anyway, we were waiting and we nearly got run over by a BMW with
really cool music in the process. When all of a sudden, Anna's friend
yelled, "He's coming!" So we were all really excited. Sam was taking
the pictures while me and Anna tried to get his autograph. We were
standing in a really good spot though so it was alright. Quite a few
people left the crowd, when he refused to sign anything Dawson's
Creek. It had to have something to do with play or just a plain
picture or something. Dawson's Creek merchandise was out of the
question.
So as Anna says above, the crowd were really closing in on us and we
were right next to him. We couldn't get out because we were being
pushed up against him. Which isn't a bad thing, but I felt guilty for
being there, when other people wanted his autograph.
So, I turned
around and grabbed this little girl's program for him to sign. I
handed it to him, and he looked directly at me. I said, "Can you sign
this please?" and he didn't take his eyes off me and he replied,
"Sure, no problem." He quickly signed it and I said, "Thank you so
much." And again he looked at me and smiled and said, "My pleasure."
As I took the program from him, my fingers touched his hand, which were
all covered in black pen. And as quick as that, he was signing someone
else's. I turned back around to hand the girls program and she looked soooooo grateful. I was really pleased with myself then.
As Anna says, Sam did ask him and I think that was the longest answer
he gave anyone. Maybe it was because Sam was the only one not giddy
with fan girls excitement.
