You know we are fans of James because we choose to be. He does not owe us anything in return. We do it because we get something out of it, or we wouldn't do it. If he has issues or not, if he is an ass or a sweetheart, we really don't know. We don't know him. Bits and pieces of what he may have said and things pulled out of thin air do not and will not really show us who he is and how he really feels about anything. If he does not measure up to what we expect of him, that is not his problem, it is ours. It is up to us to decide if we still wish to be his fan or not. His life is his to live as he chooses. If he makes mistakes (perhaps in our opinion only) that is his problem to deal with, not ours. Our opinion does not count. I take James at face value. I do not have the time nor the ability to figure out what he is not showing us, nor is it any of my business. None of us are perfect and I for one know I would be really pissed if people were trying to tell me how to live my life. We all would be a lot happier if we just enjoyed what we get instead of bitching because things did not match up to our high expectations. Just my 2 cents.

Valentine's Day with James Marsters Feb. 2010
Valentine’s Day Event in New Jersey February, 2010
Last February I went to New Jersey for a James Marsters’ Valentine’s Day Event. I arrived late Friday the 13th and left early on Sunday the 15th, so it really was a quick trip.
The South Orange Performance Center in New Jersey. A really nice venue close to lots of restaurants. A little far from the hotel and hard to find, but worth it when we got there.
Me at the hotel bar with my roommate and friends/fans. My plushy Spike joined in the fun.
It included a photo with James, a personalized autograph, a Question and Answer session and James explained and acted 30 of Shakespeare’s Sonnets and did a concert. Besides being a very talented actor, he is also a singer-song writer.
Steve trying to control the mob.
Waiting for our lovely man.
Me at the autograph table.
I was almost late for our dinner reservation at the Mexican Restaurant, but thankfully the others waited for me.
My photo with James.
A nice hug and he did look yummy in a suit.
James was bouncy and very happy. Excited about doing Shakespeare. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful that was. He was actor, teacher and Shakespeare fan all rolled into one. A happy, excited James is a force of nature and so wonderful to see.
It was lots of fun to meet up with my online friends. We had a break between the afternoon events and the evening concert. So a group of us went to a nearby Mexican Restaurant and had dinner. The concert was open to the public so the room was full. James was in fine voice, so the concert was lovely.
At the Mexican Restaurant
(whose name I can't remember). Really good food and not expensive. We were a roudy bunch but the staff took good care of us.
It is so nice to meet in person other fans and gossip and learn about their lives. James does have male fans also but I only know in person a couple of them. I now have friends in England, Germany, France, Russia, Australia, Italy, Canada, a lot of other countries that I can’t remember and all over the US.
