Fan Encounters
Stories of fans who have met Kate.

Leah's Encounter
Where: Ridgewood, NJ
Date: 2/20/08

I'll TRY to keep it short. I met her, got a picture, all my friends got pictures...she was SO sweet and funny and down-to-earth! So, my friends and I left in search of water someplace where it wasn't $5 a bottle, and wound up getting nothing because everything was closed. So me, [crying tears of joy from meeting Kate] suggests we go back in by Kate, and we did. Everybody was basically gone so we talked some more and I was like "Yeah, we're not stalkers we just wanted to see you again cause we love you!" and idk why but my friend Gabby started talking to Kate about how we were dying of thirst so we went to look for water [and we found a water fountain in the park but it didn't work- lmao] and Kate was like "Oh, no!" Then we proceeded to say how we bought the $5 bottle of water and she started complimenting the water and how good it was haha. And she also was saying how it looked like a beer bottle [WHICH BTW WAS THE SAME EXACT THING I THOUGHT WHEN I FIRST SAW IT] and how she didn't want to give her fans the impression that she was getting wasted on stage. We laughed, talked a little more, got another picture, and as we were leaving [me, still crying] I was like "I LOVE YOU!!!" and she was like "Awww, you're so adorable!" and came over to give me a hug. I. DIED. Haha, so yeah :) There you have it.
