My weekend with LISA!!!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ABlairican Pie · 04-28-2002, 09:44 PM

Okay, now that you've gotten to see my picture with me and Lisa on the "Eugene" post, it's time for the story behind it!!!!
I took the train from Seattle to Eugene last Friday and spent the night there, waiting to go to the Oregon Right to Life Conference at the Valley River Inn the next day...and of course, I was NERVOUS.

But the next morning (April 20), I went over there bright and early (okay, not really so bright...) and I went in
to a room where the message "Take a Bow for Not Bowing Down"
was given by--LISA. She sat in the row in front of me getting ready, and then she gave her pro-life message to everyone. After her talk a doctor gave an interesting discussion about the links between abortion and breast cancer, and then the session was dismissed.
So I went out and found Lisa at her table with her books and materials, and she said, "Hi, Greg!!" And I was so amazed--I said,
"I can't believe it--YOU REMEMBER MY NAME!!" And she said, "Of course I remember! Besides, it's written on your name tag!!"

(For those who don't know how she remembers me, I met her last summer twice in the space of two weeks at two different churches where I got to sing the Facts Of Life theme song.)
I then updated her on my mother's cancer condition (I told her before that I learned my mother had recurring cancer last summer)--the cancerous tumors had DISAPPEARED! Lisa said, "PRAISE GOD!!" And then she said, "How 'bout a HUG??!!"
So she just gave me a great big hug, it was totally EXCITING!!!!
There is so much to tell, but I'll get back to it.

It's a dinner? YOUR HAVING DINNER WITH LISA WHELCHEL?!?! Damn you! Ah...no I didn't mean that..honestly...I'm having a moment here....

ABlairican Pie · 04-29-2002, 10:28 PM

So as I was looking at more of her books and things on the table,
someone came up to her and said, "Sorry we couldn't have more sunshine for you," and I said, "SHE BRINGS THE SUNSHINE WHEREVER SHE GOES!!" And she just laughed!!!!

So after a few more sessions dealing with cloning, stem cell research and Christian medical ethics (some very interesting things, I learned!!

) I visited her table again and talked about the verses from 1st and 2nd Thessalonians she wanted me to read last summer while my mother was going through the cancer ordeal. I was disappointed that other people got to take pictures of her and I didn't have a camera...

until I had an idea... I went across the street to some stores by the mall and found--a disposable camera!! I went back and Lisa told me to come back at 4. I was sooooo ready....

Uh......thanks...I think. Stalking is hunting down and hurting people. I don't want to hurt Lisa in any way. But uh...I suppose I'll take it as a compliment.

JWood201 · 04-30-2002, 06:21 PM

Grr...I'm so jealous of all you people that are gonna get to meet her! She was literally half an hour away from my house when she was in Philly for a week, but didn't make any appearances!
Even my mom was like, "Aw, we could have gone to meet her" (which totally surprised me! this is the same woman who I had to force to meet her fave soap stars...when they were right in our mall. lol.)
**sigh** Maybe she'll come back -- I doubt it though. Now I'm all depressed. lol.

ABlairican Pie · 04-30-2002, 09:36 PM

I did NOT meet Lisa 3 times!! More like...

I lost count!!!!

(Many times as the Time Lord in L.A. 15 years ago, which she's forgotten, and twice in Bellingham, last summer, one Sunday last August two weeks after that, and in Eugene over a week ago.)

I'm on a roll.

Don't ya just HATE me??
