Yes... that is Joshua Allen... the winner for last season's So You Think You Can Dance!!!
I am a HUGE fan of the show and he was my pick for last season. To my surprise, he came to Mary Kay Seminar this summer to be a part of the entertainment and he was AMAZING! On my flight home from Seminar from Dallas to Houston (I had a layover in Houston before going onto Jacksonville) I realized that the guy in front of me looked familiar (we were filing onto the plane). When he turned around to sit in his seat I realized it was Joshua Allen!!! I have always thought that I would keep my cool if I were to ever run into or meet someone famous (or someone I admire) and that I would not act like "a fan." Well, I turned into a complete nerd... OMGosh!!!
I said, "Are you Joshua Allen???" with a huge geeky grin on my face. He was so gracious and smiled and said yes! So, as the calm and collected "cool" fan I always thought I would be disappeared, I had him give me his autograph and asked if we could take a pic together after the flight... he said yes and I left him alone for the WHOLE flight! I was very proud of myself. I sat there the whole time and thought of all the questions I could ask him but decided not to after each conversation scenario I pictured in my head made me look like a huge dork or stalker! I tried to rehearse cool stuff to say in my head and chickened out!
Anyhow, I told him thank you for performing at Seminar and we took our pic... as you can see Chaz could have cared less and was even puking during our picture opp, unbeknownst to me! How embarrassing!
Thank you Joshua! You have such amazing talent... you are one of the best dancers I have ever seen! (this is one of the rehearsed lines I wanted to tell him, but couldn't find the guts to!)
More Seminar Pics to come later!
Yeah Joshua Allen!

You're Hilarious -- I miss you!
OH, I'm a HUGE fan of that show also! How exciting and way to go for not asking questions the entire time (like I would have!) You've got some self control girl - can't wait to see who wins this season!
Your too funny, Chazzy boy was just making a lasting impression on that guy! It was wonderful to see you. Add me to your blog list so you don't lose me next time. Love you lots-
Sam and Hank
P.S. I was thinking in a couple of years we should come to Florida with our moms so the boys could play and it be like old time sake. Lots of pretty beach pictures too!
