So I got an update from Selena about what he was driving and headed to Circus
Circus to park and look around. Right as I get there and turn on my camera I get
a low battery indicator so I RAN into the hotel, got fresh batteries, and when I
came back out the very first thing I saw was Haydens beautiful ass sticking out
of that sinfully yellow lambourgini!
That is when my heart stopped and my
hands began to shake. I snapped pictures and thought entirely of you ladies and
how well those would go over. I crossed the street to get more and just watch
him. Dear lord he was stunning! Slightly sweaty and rumbled. He covered up his
fantasy inducing hair with a hat that looks a lot, at first glance, like it says
'Colleen' :-) He's calling to you sister... ;-)
A lady in front of me is
with her son and asks if he'll sign some autographs. "Sure" he smiles and I die
a little bit more...but I pull out my Sharpie and my GQ while everyone else
borrows blank paper from people. haahahahaha! The sisters are prepared! I also
remember what else I have to do and I dial Luna... it went something like
this...
L: Hey girl! <laughing> I saw it was your number and told my
girlfriends that Hayden was calling me.
M: Funny you should say that since
I'm standing right in front of him.
L: Shut up!
M: Serious - a foot
away
or something like that I was near hysterical. He signs my GQ and I
ask him if he has a moment to talk to my friend on the phone and he says "I'm
sorry, I really have to go." Thankfully Luna heard him. :-)
I'm following
him as he goes into the hotel when Melissa calls and she put that in her update.
He was soooo great with the kids. We head around and wait inside. I'm outside
with Tom (Melissas most amazing hubby) and she yells for us - Haydens in the
lobby.
For the rest of my life I will remember the way he looked, his
graciousness with his fans, and how FUCKING HOT he looked. OMG - even with the
hat... WOW! He took his picture with Melissa and I hope I got it on video - I
still have to check. I asked if he had time for one with me and he put his arm
around me and I put mine around him... I smiled (probably far too big) and said
"Its so good to finally meet you" and he smiled down to me (he's so tall!) and I
die all over again...or still.
He goes BACK outside to see people and Tom
goes to do recon in the back and he calls Melissa when he finds him - talking to
Tove... honest to heavens ladies, I was so mesmerized by him that I never even
SAW Tove!!! Melissa, who didn't get a good picture the first time, asked him to
sign her BullRun tshirt and I follow. He was having trouble writing -the
sharpie kept hanging up on the material so I was joking with him "So...do you
have to take a class on how to sign tshirts?"
He LAUGHED! That big huge
smile that you see in pictures... take any behind the scenes joking with Ewan
and magnify it 10x and you have a HINT of what it looked like...then, as he's
walking away, he WINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That pretty much puts the nail
into my coffin! He's amazing, he's kind, he's...well, honestly, he's everything
we always thought he was and more...so much more.
The pictures are here:

#3,
the picture of Melissa and I with his car, and the one of he and I are my
favorites...but the #2 ass pic is worthy as well. :-)

First off - the elder Christensen got the same charm gene as his edible
younger sib...
holy hell!!!
I met another fangirl waiting for
Hayden, Mandy from San Francisco, and we waited the two hours together. Made
friends with one of the other Sith decoy drivers who was GREAT. I'll call him
Sith Roadie guy because he looks like an ex Rocker Roadie, but tons of fun. He
said they don't know where they're going until the race starts - that they knew
they were headed toward San Francisco today but not to where.
Turns out
they're going to Sonoma - the Infineon Raceway - I wish Ligaya was around and I
had a contact number for Luisa... if anyone does - call them please!!! they are
due in around 3pm.
So, we spotted Tove and he was hanging out by his car
so we decided safety in numbers and went over. He talked to us a good 10
minutes!!! Mandy asked him for a picture and he got the cutest grin and kind of
shrugged like "I don't get it, but sure..." and took one - then waited through
like 5 attempts with my dying camera batteries (again!!!) and Mandy finally took
one with hers, so I'll send that as soon as she sends it to me. I asked him if
he was 'taking tickets for the team' and got this look that I can't explain -
like "oh my god YES" but thats not what he said... he said he was, that they got
two the day before. Sith Roadie Guy got two as well - and showed them to us.
:-) He's driving a silver SUV with a Yoda on the dashboard.
:-)
Tove said Hayden broke down the first day - well, the car - the
accellerator got stuck. I said that wouldn't be a bad thing necessarily in this
race and he said "Yeah, but they were in traffic, so they had to turn the car
off and coast to the side of the road." I commented that it must be a rush to go
that fast and he agreed, and I said this was easier to watch than Eco Challenge
was and he smiled like 'you know about that?'.
Does it ever amaze anyone
else that they underestimate the fan knowledge base?
So I said "Please
tell me you won't do that again," and he said they were thinking of it,
actually. That they didn't have Eco Challenge anymore, but there was a race like
it (he said the name but I didn't get it) in France and they were thinking of
that one!!!!!!
Holy hell. prepare your pacemakers ladies
I asked
him if there would be less bugs and he got a really BIG smile and said "yes, not
anything like Fiji" :-)
He's tall but not that much taller than Hayden
and if he was, it didn't seem like it. He talked to us for so long that I
started to feel like we were intruding, thanked him for his time and
left.
We went back to sit by the empty spot (they had taken the car to
get gas according to Sith Roadie Guy) when said Roadie guy comes over and hands
us both one of the Sith Happens race shirts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I kissed him! Sad but
true! We took our picture with him. :-)
So, the car comes back - clean
and shiny. Driver guy - not very personable...but what the hell ever - i don't
care about him. We take our posts and before long Hayden just appears - like
POOF out of no where and looking amazingly HOT! He's wearing khaki pants,
a tshirt, that same ball cap, and an over shirt with a dragon on the
back.
I didn't want to appear psycho just in case I see him next month,
so I was hanging back and just taking pictures and appreciating the beauty. :-)
But one of the other fans (guy) who was there came up and asked me if I could
take a picture and email it to him, that his camera jammed JUST as Hayden came
out - so I said sure and got a GREAT picture of the two of them...and I swear,
it could be imagination, but after I took it I said 'Thank you Hayden' and he
looked up and smiled and raised his hand like he was waving bye but he had a
look like he he kind of recognized me - I honestly don't know.
I've added
the pictures to the directory from last night - todays pics start with Reno_13
