Weinermr and Lanzee met my son and I at the Deaf expo today. We went to meet Christy from Survivor. She was a guest speaker. I had figured we would have to wait in a long line to get her autograph. I asked someone where we should go to wait for Christy and they pointed me to a booth with t-shirts. There was a woman there selling Christy’s t-shirts for Christy’s ‘Challenge Yourself’ fundraiser.(Her mission is to provide deaf awareness, bridge the gap between deaf and hearing, and teach sign to youth) I asked the woman where would Christy be speaking and she said she is right here!!! Christy was beside her with her head down signing a picture. I couldn’t believe it! The place was not crowded at all, a very intimate enviroment. The woman turned out to be Christy’s mom! She was the sweetest lady!

I told Christy how much my son and I were rooting for her and cried when she was voted off. She thanked me and was so gracious. She was so sweet and has a great personality. I asked her to sign a pic for my deaf friend(YES! I got your autographed pic Hermie!!!!) Then Lanzee and Christy must have talked/signed for over 10 min!! We all took pics together.

Lanzee told Christy about TVCH (we were wearing our shirts!) Christy was touched we were all rooting for her. I told her mom about it and wrote down the website for her and told her to have Christy read our posts. I told her it would really mean a lot if Christy had the time to post something, she said she would tell her. Sounded like she would take the time to actually come here and post. Christy and her mom were both a joy to meet!!

Weiner, Lanzee, and I were looking for someone to take our TVCH butt shot and Weiner said let’s ask Christy’s mom, we asked if Christy would mind to be in the pic and she said, not at all!!! SOOOOO, we have our butt shot with Christy!!!

We all had a great time. It was so great to meet Mr. Weinermr and Ms. Lanzee!!!! We were like long lost friends!! It just made me even more excited for the TVCH October get together!!!

I will post this in Christy’s thread also, so we can keep that at the top. I don’t know when she will have time to get to a computer but hopefully one day soon! I will post the pic of Christy and I in my folder.

What a special treat, and I see Lanzee is signing "I Love You" in the official butt shot. Christy is such a sweetheart. I know you all had a terrific day. I am hoping Christy finds the time to come here and see how much she is loved.

As for the rest of you, I am so hoping that I can still make it out to meet you next month. It could be the biggest butt shot ever taken of the tvch members (pun intended since mine is soooo big LOL!)

Yes Hippy, I bought a t shirt and she signed it! I posted in her thread about how great she was with my son. I told her mom how to get to her thread but not to the GD area.

I got her card, I am really thinking of checking to see what her speaking fee is. Wouldn't it be great to have her come to our TVCH 2003 get together??!!

Lanzee is supposed to post all the stuff she said when she was on stage.

Lanzee is hearing impaired. I could understand some of it because I am learning from Ginger but Christy signs like a mad woman! LOL even Lanzee said she had a hard time keeping up!

Ok Pamy, you didn't just imagine it.

Pamy did such a good job describing our visit to the Deaf Worldwide Expo in Pasadena yesterday, that I can't add a lot to it, except a little from my perspective.

Most of the people at the Expo were hearing impaired and communicated by signing to each other. I'm not hearing impaired, nor do I know sign language. As people came up to Christy to "speak" to her, they would instantly start signing to them, and she would sign back to them. When I got to the front of the line and it was my turn to talk to Christy, before I could even get a word out of my mouth, she said hello to me, and she spoke to me verbally throughout our whole conversation. She seemed to "know" that I was going to speak to her using my voice rather than through signing. It might seem like a minor point, but I thought it was remarkable the way she switched gears and was instantly attuned to each person's needs. I can see how frustrating it must have been for her to have been shut out of conversation with her first team on Survivor in the Amazon.

I told Christy I had wanted her to win, but that she wasn't mean enough to win. She asked me if that was good, and I told her it was VERY good. She smiled broadly and agreed with me. Then I told her she was a winner anyway, and smiled even wider, and her mother agreed too. Then she was gracious enough to take a picture with me, which Pamy kindly took for us. All in all, it was a very rewarding experience.

And of course the other reason for being there was to meet Pamy and Lanzee. They both couldn't have been nicer people, just like they are here on the board. Pamy didn't tell you that the Expo had made provisions to keep the youngsters occupied, and Pamy's son was having a great time too. He met Christy too, and she couldn't have been sweeter to him.

It was a wonderful event, and we had a wonderful time.
