True Geek Confessions: Meeting Matthew Lewis predictions

WHICH MATTHEW LEWIS?


THE NOVELIST

OR


THE ACTOR

-----------------------
Matthew "I am made of awesome" Lewis will be at DragonCon.

Either that or Matthew Lewis the British Gothic novelist of the late 18th, early 19th century.

I am pretty certain it is the actor.

I will be at DragonCon.

I'm afraid I might experience my first case of celebrity deer in headlights syndrome.

----------------------------------

Scenario One: Spaz

::Standing at Matthew Lewis' table at the Walk of Fame::

Me: e.e.e.e.

Matthew Lewis: Hello.

Me: uh.uh.uh.

Matthew Lewis: Did you want me to sign that?

Me: bees

Matthew Lewis: Enjoying the con?

Me: o_O

Matthew Lewis: Well, alright then.

------

Scenario Two: Cool, dealt with celebs before.

Me: Hey, your portrayal of Neville is spot on with my mental image from reading the books, great job!

Matthew Lewis: Thanks, do you want me to sign that?

Me: Oh, that would be excellent, thanks. So, how are you enjoying the con?

Matthew Lewis: Not so bad, had a few people pass out so far, but thanks for not being a spaz like in your last scenario.

Me: No problem! Take care.

Matthew Lewis: Thanks.

---

Scenario Three: Bizarro World

Me: Hey, you aren't the late 18th early 19th century British Gothic Novelist!*

Matthew Lewis: I've been waiting all my life for someone to say that joke to me, come, let us ditch this convention and go on a wacky buddy movie esque adventure through England, which contrary to what native Brits will admit, is exactly like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Seriously, we have floo networks.

Me: Can I bring my knitting with me?

Matthew Lewis: As long as you are a phenomenal vegan baker, enjoy playing disc golf, and European football.

Me: Done!
