Friday, February 13, 2004

Just got back from the 2004 Annual JCC Sports Dinner, a huge fundraiser for the Jewish Community Center and packed with infulential people, athletes and entertaiment people. My feet are killing me because I just spent six hours standing in stilettos, but I'm over the moon because I met Trevor Linden!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with hockey and it's players, Trevor Linden is #16 for the Vancouver Canucks, my hometown team. He played with us for ten years before being traded to the NY Islanders in 1998, then was traded back to Vancouver in 2002 after bumping all over the league.

I've been a huge fan of his since I was about seven. Other girls had posters of New Kids on the Block and Tiffany on their walls, but I had a huge yellow and black Trever Linden poster. I collected his cards and I have, I think, sixteen of them, just up to 1997, when I stopped collecting hockey cards. (I was a tomboy for sure)

Anyway, tonight I was at the dinner as a favor to my friend Mike, who was volunteer co-ordinator as a random volunteer. I was there with my band and we wore our sparkly G-Force shirts. I saw Trevor lining up to go the head table for the dinner and I mantioned how amazing it would be to meet him. Mike casually says he'll take me to meet him later. I just gaped and said I'd love to, but it wasn't a big deal, so don't worry.

Later, I was chatting with two other volunteer and Mike comes by to hear me say how much I would love to meet him. "Let's go," the man says and armed with a sharpie and the only piece of paper I could dig up(a G-Force postcard with a blank back), he takes me up to the head table. He leans over to Trevor and mentions something about would it be okay if I met him, because I was a big fan. He says sure, and up I go. Trevor offered me the empty seat next to him and I just tried not to say anything stupid.

We chatted about how glad we both were he was back in Vancouver and when he went to sign the card, he saw the other side and asked about the band. He was so nice and comfortable to talk to and we spent about five minutes chatting. When I left the table I was controlling the hugest grin and when I got back to the girls, I almost cried I was so thrilled. It was seriously a huge moment for me to meet someone I've looked up to for so many years. That postcard is going to be framed, I swear to god.

Now, I'm off to watch the CSI and WaT I taped.
