Hopefully fewer than 22 pages...

Why? Does Deb have the inside info?
I'm new, so I don't know these things.

She's been a fan for a long time....Me I am new to Gerry actually...It was a love a first sight for me....and I had the brilliant idea to start a fan board and learn as I go. In other words I'm a dufus..  |

In other words I'm a dufus.. Ah, I see. It must be weird, that. To be one of a few fans in the early days, then see your man get more and more popular, and get more and more fans. Must be satisfying to see him do so well, but I think I'd feel a bit "get off him, he's mine", too!! Not on a conscious level, but I think I'd have a niggling feeling somewhere!! |

Well done to you for making it. ;D Thanks Nel, my object is to have a fun place where a person can do anything, be anything, from drooler to perv, to (not really hater because I really loath those people on the other board) but if Gerry does something well kind of stupid - I want a person to express their opinion as well there but in an environment to avoid attack.... This is a message board and pure fantasy. We should not take ourselves too seriously. You know what I mean. I'd like to avoid cliques if at all possible so we can all be important in our own way. |

Oh, cliques, blah! Haven't noticed any here. I just jumped in with both feet, and everyone seems very nice. I spent a lot of time on the scary soapbox/sandbox boards on IMDb, but now I'm a happier person without all that nastiness and point-scoring (although some people are nice and fun on there, it's not worth it, for me, in the end). |

Yep I know what you mean IMDb is NOT a nice place to be although I will agree there are a few there that are very sweet. |

I don't care for cliques, which is why I like participating in boards like this. This is such a fun environment and Gerry is just so adorable.  As to whether I have written? I haven't... yet? Does anyone know if he signs autographs if you send a letter? |

Nel,
No inside info here... just been around for a long time but really not as long as some. If I had seen POTO in the theaters (and I am so mad that I didn't) or taken more notice back when I saw Time Line I might be considered an oldie. I got hot on the Gerry train at around July or August of '05. I saw POTO for the first time in May of '05.
I don't feel in anyway posessive of him. I can understand how some are just a bit melancholy that the bigger he gets the less touchable or approachable he is. No more meet and greets after Leno. No private meeting with the girls before a premiere (that happen during the premiere of POTO in NY that Tamara organized with Gerry. He took at least 10-15 minutes with about 20 fans).
About autographs. Ok... a long time ago Gerry would answer. But now you get a signed picture and a form letter. But if you met him in person, if he has the time he would definately sign it. I am just not into autographs. I have no need to have someones signature. And I would never try to profit from Ebay. That is just me though. I was really, really into a soap opera hunk about 7years ago and met him and talked to him on the phone. But I ended up getting rid of his autograph that my girlfriend got for me. That whole thing is a very long (and funny) story.
Anyway, Gerry has done some really incredible things and had some amazing encounters with fans. Did ANYONE read any of those fan encounters I listed??? You are missing it if you haven't. I am really tempted to copy them hear but there is a saying that what happens (is posted) on .net stays on .net so I am scared.
Oh, he called one of the fans on GALS on Christmas day 2 years ago because she was so sad because her mother was dying of cancer.
He also called a young man (from the Kids Kicking Cancer organization) who was dying and got him a copy of "300" there is a story behind that but I can't remember so I will have to ask someone. I just remember that it really got to Gerry.
If I could remember all the stuff I have read and heard I will try to share it.
Deb

I've asked a few actors for them, but it was mostly just an excuse to talk to them for a moment. And nor would I ever sell them on Ebay. That doesn't seem right. I have a bunch of signatures from a particular person that I could sell, but I never would. I keep them to remind myself of the meeting, really. I'm afraid I didn't read the fan encounters. I don't want to feel jealous, and I don't want any more evidence of how adorable he is. I'm trying to keep my crush down to manageable levels!! |
