New York Adventures: Meeting Celebrities

Before we even left towards New York City, I had a mission, and that was to meet Jim Parsons (Also known as Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory) as I had found out he played a show on Broadway called “Harvey”. We waited by the stage door for an hour I think, before he came out and we got to see him and get an autograph and he seemed incredibly happy and bubbly. Very surreal to me, since I absolutely adore him! 

Før vi tog afsted til New York City, havde jeg en mission, og det var at komme til at møde Jim Parsons (Også kendt som Sheldon Cooper i The Big Bang Theory) fordi jeg havde fundet ud af at han spillede et stykke på Broadway som hedder “Harvey”. Vi ventede ved scenedøren i ca. en time, inden han kom ud hvor vi fik lov til at se ham og få hans autograf. Han virkede virkelig glad og rigtig sød! Det var ret urealistik, eftersom jeg virkelig bare elsker ham! 

When we waited to get to see Jim Parsons, something else was going on, on the other side of W. 53rd Street. We found out that it was Raven-Symoné (Known from That’s So Raven) who had come out to give autographs and take photos with her fans. She was in a play called “Sister Act”. We decided on going to see her the last evening of our stay in New York. She was amazingly sweet. She took her time, and took pictures with every single person there. She even took two pictures with me, since the 1st one turned out horribly.

Da vi samtidig ventede på at se Jim Parsons, foregik der noget ovre på den anden side af W. 53rd Street. Vi fandt ud af at det her var Raven-Symoné (Kendt fra That’s So Raven) som var kommet ud for at give autografer og tage billeder med sine fans. Hun var med i et stykke som hedder “Sister Act”. Vi bestemte os for at tage hen for at møde hende den sidste aften i New York. Hun var fantastisk sød. Hun tog sin tid, tog billeder med hver eneste person der var mødt op. Hun tog endda 2 billeder med mig, fordi det første blev rigtig dårligt. 

At the same time as Raven-Symoné took pictures outside with fans, Jim Parsons came out again on the other side of W. 53rd Street, so I ran over there to catch a last glimpse of him. I did, even though I didn’t get to go as close to him as first time we saw him there. When he’d left, I went back over to see Raven-Symoné and that was when I took a shot and went in line again to get a new picture with her. Her security clearly recognized me again (Seeing as we were there talking to him when he was putting up fence too, and he saw us taking the first picture), but he just smiled and let me take a new picture with her and so did Raven. See, that is awesome security, I tell you! All in all, if you do want to meet a few celebrities you adore before going to New York, check the Broadway schedule. I am so happy to be able to say I met one of my childhood favorites, Raven, and one of my absolute favorites at the moment, Jim Parsons! 

Samtidig som Raven-Symoné tog billeder udenfor smamen med fans, kom Jim Parsons ud igen på den anden side af W. 53rd Street, så jeg løb derover for at få lov til at se ham igen. Det fik jeg også, også selvom jeg ikke kom så tæt på som jeg var første gang. Da han gik, gik jeg tilbage over til Raven-Symoné og det var der jeg tog chancen og stillede mig i kø igen for at kunne få et nyt billede med hende. Det var rimelig tydeligt at hendes security kunne genkende mig igen (Eftersom vi var der og snakkede med ham da han satte hegn up tidligere, og han så også da vi tog billedet som nogle af de første), men han smilede bare og lod mig tage et nyt billede og det gjorde Raven også. Se, dét er awesome security! Alt i alt, hvis du vil møde et med kendte som du elsker før du tager til New York, så tjek for guds skyld Broadway planen! Jeg er så glad for at kunne sige at jeg har mødt en af mine barndoms favoritter, Raven, og en af mine absolut favoritter for tiden, Jim Parsons!
