Passions Fan Experience is written by: Savi Chick

Hey,
Oh my gosh, I just had the best night of my life. On Saturday, March 25th, Lindsay Korman (Theresa) and Travis Schuldt (Ethan) were at West High School, in Torrance, CA, for the South Bay's "Track Is Back 2000" event. They were there to give awards to the track winners and sign autographs. When I found out over the internet, a week from the day they were coming, I was so excited. I told myself that if anything bad happened to me during that week, that I would not let it get to me because I was meeting my favorite TV stars!

I swear, they are two different people behind the camera and Travis is way hotter in person. Lindsay is short, (which is cool) and she's about 5'2" and that's about how tall I am right now. Travis was just a head taller than us! They are both so sweet and Travis is hilarious! On every single picture they signed, they personalized it, and he had a little bit of a hard time spelling everyone's name, but it was cute.



I took so many pictures, but only like half of them came out good. I brought my friend to the event, and she was so nice to come because she knew who they were, and wasn't a big fan, and she told me that the reason she came was to spend time with me and I was so touched. Anyway, I had my mom take us there at 3:30 when the event started at 5:30, but there were people there practicing. We waited outside though two hours and walked around the school till finally we went in at 5:00.

All of the sudden, I heard someone singing the National Anthem. I saw her singing but I couldn't tell whether it was Lindsay or another girl, so I asked my friend if that was her and she's like yea, and I ran over to go see her. All of the sudden, in the brief moment of time I found myself in front of both of them and only a few feet away! I didn't even notice Travis was right in front of me for a second till I recognized him in his shades. They look so different off-screen that you almost can't recognize them! I was just standing there next to some other girls who were taking pics of them and I am just there smiling at there like some kind of freak, who you can tell that I know who they are and that I love them!



I followed them to the booth, where they already started to autograph early, and I was like 5th in line because I didn't want to be the first. the first line I waited for was for Lindsay. Even though they were right next to each other there were two separate lines for them. Luckily, and sadly, they were kind of short lines, but they came in bunches though. When I got up to Lindsay I was almost speechless, I cold barely give her my own name! I gave her a letter, which I wrote earlier that day, at my job and she was touched cause no one else brought her one. The publicist was right there and he could tell I was a fan, so he asked me if I wanted him to take my picture with her and I'm like yea! So I went around the booth and Lindsay got up, put both arms around me and smiled for the picture. She was so nice and I was like almost in tears. I talked to her and she just stood there and listened and I'm sure she could tell that I was almost crying. Then, I let her get back to signing autographs and I went to talk to my friend. When I was with my friend I actually was shed a few tears but I tried to keep my cool. My friend was like oh geez, but said she understood.



Then, I took out my mom's cell phone, which she let me borrowed and called her. I was telling her like oh my gosh I met her and she's amazing. I planned ahead of time that my mom would talk to Lindsay, so I waited till the line cooled down and I went up to Lindsay an I said would you say hi to my mom, and she's like sure. She's like "hey mom!," which was really cute, and my mom told her how I looked up to her and blah blah blah, but Lindsay seemed touched and said she'd remember forever.



Next, I was waiting in line for Travis. Oh gosh was he hot! And he has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. On TV he talks about Theresa's but really, I think she's the one who should be doing the talking. But before I forget, while I was waiting in line for Travis, Lindsay said did you get one and I'm like yeah. Ok what she meant by that was, they handed out little necklaces that look like a washer (circle) and it says Passions on one side and either secrets or love on the other (I got one of both). I swear she didn't ask anyone else that but me because I was with them the whole time and saw everything that happened. Ok, now back to Travis. He was so cute and singed my picture. I also gave him a letter, which he seemed to like. Then the publicist was like I'll take you picture with him, and I'm like thanks and handed him my camera, and I got my pic with Travis. I promised myself too, that I'd get a pic with all three of them before I left, but I didn't want to do it yet cause there were too many people there then.


But also, before I forget, after I met Lindsay, I met this girl who's now my new friend! She asked me, she's like your a big fan huh and I 'm like totally. I was trying to put on the necklace they were giving out and she's like here I'll help you and I'm like gee, thanks. We started talking, and then never stopped talking the rest of the night. She also brought her friend, who was also really nice. later on, I asked her why she all of the sudden started talking to me, and she told me that when she saw me she cold tell I was a big fan like her and she told herself I have to talk to that girl, which I thought was so cute/funny at the same time.

After my friend, Eileen, (who I brought) was done getting autographs, I took a picture with her and the three of them. She didn't get one with each of them though. So I couldn't be jealous yet. However, I wasn't ignoring her, but it was hard to see her because I didn't want to leave the booth. Luckily, she saw someone she knew and hung out with her so she wasn't lonely. I am so glad my friend understood, because someone else might have been mad at me for not seeing them as much.

Then the show finally began, and Lindsay went to go sing the National Anthem. I brought my tape recorder and ran to the bottom of the seats, to be the closest to her. I recorded her singing the National Anthem and took a picture of her singing. She has a really good voice and I'm not just saying that because I'm her biggest fan!

She went back to sign autographs and my new friends and I just stood around there talking and watching them. We talked to Travis, and my new friend kept wanting to know how old he was, and he wouldn't tell them and I'm like it is okay guys, I have Travis' birthday I'll email it to you! Stop bugging him or we'll get kicked out lol. We asked Lindsay who was sexier Galen or Travis, and she's like Travis of course. And he's like she's just saying that because I'm here. We also talked to the publicist, who was really nice, ad we found out his name.

Then they said they had to go, but they were coming back and I'm telling my new friend, oh I want my picture with all three of them, so before they left I got my picture with all three of us. They weren't leaving, they were just taking a break. Well, my friend and I waited for like an hour and a half, and we weren't sure if they were really going to come back. I was like don't worry, they are not leaving, because they were going to give awards away, and they haven't done that yet.


So finally, when they came out of hiding, my friends and I ran down to the bottom of the bleachers which was almost as close as you can get to watch them. While they were waiting, they saw us waving to them, and waved back at us, probably laughing and saying how cute we were. Travis even winked at us. Finally, a half hour after they passed out awards, they went back to sign autographs. My friends and I talked to the publicist and we told him how we were huge fans and talked about stuff for the show. He even told us some information that no one else knows yet! HEHE! I talked about Lindsay's birthday being on April 17th, and she heard me and she told me I was right. I had her sign another picture that I had brought from a magazine and she even remembered how to spell my name. Finally, before they left, I got a group pic with them and my new friends. Travis gave one of my new friends a hug good-bye, and I was right behind her and I'm like to Travis I'm not leaving without a hug and he gave me a long tight hug. So sweet. Then I went to get a hug from Lindsay and when she said good-bye to me she said my name! She didn't say that to anyone else! I told her lastly, that I'll be watching her on TV and she smiled. That was the best night of my life!
