... Because all I asked for Christmas was Tim DeKay. And guess what? I did get Tim DeKay!

So, my apologizes for the lack of White Collar squee and icons this week, I was busy emptying my bank account to fly to California over the weekend to go see A Christmas Pudding. If you think that's totally crazy, you're absolutely right. But let me tell you, it was all worth it. Because Tim, by being Tim, makes the world a little more magical.

The show itself was great, made of moving and funny stories. The highlight was without hesitation Tim's reading of The H Street Sledding Record (it's about Family and Christmas traditions. A perfect piece for him).

I was hoping, knowing Tim, that I'd get a chance to say hello, and maybe get a picture with him. What I wasn't expecting was for Tim to seem so happy to see me. He did his best to get rid of all the old ladies asking him if he'd appear again in Agents of SHIELD so that he could come and hug me. And several times, some people came and took him away, but he kept coming back. And he was a real chatterbox! We talked about White Collar of course, and separation anxiety, the future, commuting, and kids... But to me the most amazing thing was that Tim DeKay, renowned and respected actor, was asking me all sort of things about why I moved to Madison, what my job was, how long I'll be there, why studying meteorites...

Isn't that man absolutely adorable?

(You can read a slightly more coherent summary of that night here)

1. I offered to let you drive.
2. It was time you learned some new American gerunds.
3. There is nothing better than being on the receiving end of a Tim DeKay Charm Offensive.

And that Charm Offensive was just impossible to resist... To which we surrendered happily. ;-)

wow that was another great adventure, and Tim is such incredible person. That was almost perfect way to say goodbye to White Collar wasn't it? I hope we got to see him in another great leading role soon :) And you are such lucky girl!!!

Tim is so awesome. You're right, that was a nice way to say good bye to Peter Burke (especially that never ending hug he gave me at the end...)
He has a few projects in the pipes, so hopefully we'll see him again. Finger crossed that it won't take too long...

Sounds like an adventure and the perfect Christmas present to yourself!! I nipped over to the Team DeKay post too - wow, you're so lucky!! Tim is wonderful, isn't he?! :D

perfect present indeed.
He is *absolutely* wonderful. Seriously, I still can't believe it. He came back to me (and the little group of people I was talking to) 3 times! And he wouldn't let go of me for our goodbye hug!

We all are a very lucky bunch, aren't we? Having not only one, but two great actors in the leading parts, who turn out to be great human beings too. And even though I'm more of a Matty fan than of Tim, I'm incredibly happy for you. He's getting on me with every time I rewatch the first two seasons, and reading something like that takes me one step closer to being a "real" fan of him too. Once again, I'm so happy for you to having met him and for getting the best Christmas gift ever.

They really are nice guys. Actually everyone is, on that show. Willie is really sweet too.
And that makes me ever more proud to be a fan of that show, of those people who made it, and, as a fan, to have been part of that adventure. They absolutely deserved all our love.

*gives you a nudge to take one more step to "real" fan* ;-)

ahh that sounds amazing! you got to meet him! it sounds like you had a wonderful time. :D you'll definitely treasure that memory forever.

(hello! new follower, hehe. for some reason I never knew White Collar existed until recently, and then I started watching, and now I'm on season 2 and I can't stop and it's not over yet for me but I'm so sad that I missed out on it all these years and now it's done for good)

P.S. Ofc he's a chatterbox! He's a Gemini. ;)

Hey Bluebeard! Welcome to the WC world :)
See the bright side of it. For you it's not over yet. You still have to discover all those episodes!! And no hiatus! ;-)

I do feel blessed that I got to meet Tim. He's such a wonderful person.
