Anne's First Encounter--Topeka, KS: 10.02.06
The day before RAW I drove down to stay with some family friends and the next morning about 9:15 I left for the arena. I hung around there for awhile, trying to find where I could meet people, more so Lisa Marie and Amy as they are the only ones I was really interested in meeting. I hung out in front of the hotel for a good portion of the day as thats where you could see all the stars drive around to the back of the arena. About 12:45 I turned around and saw a flash of black hair. My heart literally stopped for a couple beats and I said to myself, "That's Victoria!" I wanted to scream, but of course I didn't. I ran the short distance up to the drive where she was putting her suitcases in the back of the hotel van. I yelled her name and she whipped around with a big smile. She started walking towards me and I said "I run a website on you!" She gave me a big smile and asked my name. So I told her and she asked for the website address. I told her what it was and she said to email it to her. Of course, I blanked out and said I don't have the address and she gave it to me. She gave me like 3 hugs and took a picture with me. I told her it was definitely a dream come true to finally meet her. I thanked her numerous times and I'll keep thanking her for her kindness and generosity. So if you're reading this, thank you soooooo much for a great day. You were one of the nicest people I have ever met, if not the nicest. Thank you again.
