OK! this was gathering day...I went over to the Roosevelt Hotel this is were is was being held...I waited to for my others friends to show & ran into Kevin..I signed the Laura's card & I just happen to have a my Marony sticker I made with the leis Laura & Jordi were wearing last year...How cioncidental don't you think so I put it on the card...In the meantime my friend Pat came & we saw Laura, Saundra, Robert & I swear there was somebody else that showed up but I can't remember now...So we got our name tags finally & got to go in and buy photos to get autographed & other stuff...We finally got into the room...I was on table 3 which was right smack in the center front row....You could all the emotional stuff going on...Kevin was jealous but it was hard being there because you couldn't help by cry because like Jessica said Laura is her role model, Jordi said I love to Laura, Kim Zimmer said this is like losing your family, Crystal Chappel was crying & I really started tearing up when Robert came over to hug Laura..Laura, Amber & Hugh sang two songs & we all clapped on the second one because it was of those types of songs..Also, Like Kevin said, Robert & his wife sang, Ron Raines, & Saundra!!!...There was also a standing ovation for Laura after her singing & Mary Stewart you has been in the business for 50 years now...ITA, it was much beter setup this year in the room...Yes, I took pictures at this time...There will probably a video coming out next year so get it if you can...Next was the autograph session...I was getting organized & ran it to Kevin again...So since I had to get rid of things & had given leis out I went to the Teen Line 1st...None other than Jordi was 1st and everytime he saw he say Kimo & asked how I was doing?...BTW, He showed me something really special he was wearing....So can you guess what it is?...It was none other than the Anniversary watch the Jordiaddicts gave him...BTW, it really looks cool on him & he loves it...So thanks again to all who participated again on this......So I gave him his leii & he was saying to me the one I gave him for his birthday he had it on his door & it was cool!! Then I said to him next are you ready?...He had to sign some autographs...I had him sign 3 of them...Christie this where yours came in....Also, I gave him the letters from the fans who wrote him one at this time...Also, he signed my Marony Scrapbook....He looked at, Then I pointed out this one picture that was in there...It was this picture of him when he was 11 years old when he did the movie called "The Last Home Run"...I asked him if he remembered it?...He looked at me and said did you see the movie & I said yeah both Laura & I saw it & have the video...We both agree he looked so cute back then...The signed it in the back of the book...I also gave him a Hawaii calendar....In between that, I gave Jessica hers & her calandar...She was going to sign it but I said no that is for you. I had her sign an Emmy photo I had of her. Then I gave Wesley his lei & calendar..If I remember right now I have now...I had him sign a picture also...Then came Laura & gave her lei which I think matched her outfit perfectly...It was light green & white...The leis were dark green...So Christie I had her sign your photo...Then she was looking at the scrapbook & one of the photographers whose name is Robert looked if I had any photosin there he took...There were some...She signed it in the front....Also, Wesley was looking at it & he was teasing me & saying do you watch the show?...It was like a joke like duh!!!!...I gave her a calendar also & she was glad she got one too for specific reasons....I can't tell you what it is about because she doesn't when this happen but I'll let you know when it does...They all got lei'd...I can only get away with saying that now...LOL..So I took Laura's picture.
Then next I went over to Oliver's table & gave his lei & calendar...Got my picture with him...He is sweetheart & I felt sorry him becauase he was with Dax & Lillian & not with the rest of the teens..He eventually came over though with the rest of the gang!...I ran into Christina again and she was going into th Teen line...So I was saying to myself....I forgot to give Jessica & Wesley their shirts because I didn't do it at bowling...So Christina took them over for me to give to them...You'll see the shirt in the bowling picture I took with Jordi!!
Then I stood in the PAS, Nancy & Saundra's line which seemed like forever & I was so hot....I was prepared though because I bought my fan with me...I think it wasd like an hour & a half standing in it...My back was hurting...In the meantime, I was talking to Kevin & other people in line...Also, saw Laura & Jeff next door where the new family on the show was...Laura was telling me I saw the leis!...Plus I was telling her about Jordi's picture when he was 11 and I told her he asked me about it...Again, we both think he was so cute back then...So everybody was still waiting & I finally get up there...In between that Saundra was 1st & he was saying looking down at the Teen table look at the really cute guys down there...Meaning of course, Oliver, Jordi & Wesley...There were all down there at the time...So I gave her lei also....She was asking me about it & I was saying how to preserve it...Also, if would bring her good luck & I said yes...So she was saying maybe I'll sleep with it...When I gave it to her...She asked me if I was Kimo because she saw my post on her board & she said Jordi talks about me all time!!!....So she signed her CD for me...We then took a picture together!!!...Before this though, I had this picture of PAS, Nancy & Ricky & everybody was looking at it & wanted to where I got it....This picture was 8 x 10 of all of them at the Emmys...So, I had Nancy sign & then Pas...They were talking about it because they haven't seen it where did I get it...So I told them off the internet...Nancy was mentioning her hair & PAS was saying he liked her dress...He mentioned Gucci & about himself in the picture...Then I got my photo between them. Also, there was a group cast photo that was given out this year for the gathering and at the time it was going around for Laura Bell for everybody to sign for her....Saundra said she had to take her time for her on this one! Also, somebody said at this time the Jordi seemed shy & Saundra says he is and he is only 20!
So after this I went it the Ricky, Beth E. & Beth C. line...Laura Bell was over here at the time talking to Beth C....Then I got Beth C. to sign my SOU issue that was given also out this year....Then I had Beth E. sign something...Then I had Ricky sign the photo with PAS & Nancy....He was saying the same thing where it came from & when he went to sign it...He said there is no room left for me....He was so cute & I got my picture with them...So they could become the next hot couple on the show.
So then I went over back to the teens...First, I want say I asked & all I wanted to do is take a picture of Jordi with the watch on so I could show you all it but Jordi wanted to take a picture with me so this happen outside of the table & he was wearing his gorgueos leather jacket on...So Oliver took our picture together....Then I turned around and my friend Pat wanted to take our picture together so hugged each other and she took the photo...She got her photos back & she is sending me the photos with Jordi of course in them...So then Jordi turns around & I told him turn around & Pat is calling out his name & he still has the lei on and she puts part of it around her mouth & I took the picture....So then Jordi & Oliver started talking to me...Oliver was asking me what ido?...Then Jordi ask me if I went on my Florida trip?...Some of you know this & I kind of posted about it...I was suppose to have gone Florida like two weeks before this but I didn't go...So he was telling me were to go to this one theme park in Orlando...Then also metioned he spent Halloween one time at this one theme park...Then Jordi & I agreed Disney Land was too small & Oliver was saying it's original & they can only do so much with what they have...So then the subject of Hawaii came up & Jordi was saying to me don't you have the best beaches there & why would you go anywhere else...Heck I work right across from a beach....Ok! yes, we do have some of the best beaches in the world!!!...Then in the middle of this Saundra comes up to me & says everybody loves here Ti leaf lay...Oh! I forgot she said it matched her dress early...She also said PAS was jealous because he said was mine?...I only had so many now....Also, Laura Bell was coordinating a lunch together with Jordi, Oliver, Jessica & Wesley....The thing was Wesley was going home for awhile...Jordi was saying Thursday was good for him...So by this I don't think he is working Thursday...Mind you all I was right smack in the middle of all of this & I didn't mind...So Jordi was saying the websites were cool...Then he asked what I had been doing all weekend?...Of course, he knows I went Laura's show & he said she rocked!!...Then I said I went to Saundra's show on Saturday night...Oliver was saying he was blown away by Saundra's pipes today when she sang today....They both wanted to go but they couldn't get tickets....So we might have to something about that next year if I can help out!!!....So Laura Bell comes up to me again & thanks me for everything & hugs me..We dicussed that one thing again....Then both Jordi & her for a picture together & I took it also...So I should have a pic of our Marony together...We are all saying what a great couple!!!!...So Jordi was leaving & he almost forgot his gifts & I told him don't forget them & he say oh yeah....He grabbed then & put them in this bag he had...He also said to me while he was grabbing the stuff don't leave Kimo because I want to give a hug...So we hugged one last time & he was saying all these great words to me & then he left...I kind of left to at the same time....So all of them were leaving kind of all too....So I was in the middle of this and on the way out Oliver was saying thank you again to me....We went outside....Laura Bell got her a cab, Jordi & Oliver got a cab together & Jessica walked to were she had too...They all said goodbye to each other....So then I walked back to my hotel...Relaxed awhile & then met my friend Pat & BB Kings Club for this benefit conert they had & had dinner also!!....More on this later!
